Who Can Save Me Now?

Heading to the next venue was eventful, seeing as it was in Arizona and the heat was so bad, the All Time Low bus broke down. We all stopped, the guys getting on with Pierce the Veil. We continued until our bus broke down as well. We headed to the Sleeping bus, our bus driver staying back with the tow truck.

“It isn’t a tour until a bus breaks down.” Gabe smiled at us. We sat around with them in the front lounge; Jesse, Gabe, Ben and Grant playing video games, Kellin on the phone with his wife and the rest of us talking.

“So rumor has it that someone in this band is dating someone!” Justin grinned. I felt Alyssa tense next to me and she seemed relax, but her jaw was clenched.

“It’s only Vic.” Lu-Lu smiled. Justin laughed and Alyssa let out a huge breath. I elbowed her and she looked at me, sighing. I looked at Jack and pointed to the bunks. He nodded and Alyssa and I walked to the back.

“Ready to spill?” I asked, leaning on a bunk. She stood in front of me and began thinking.

“We’re not dating, but he wants to.” Alyssa mumbled. I waited for her to continue and she thought more. “I’m not one for relationships, Tori. You know that.” I nodded at her and she shook her head.

“He’s just so annoying! He apologizes for everything and he never gets mad!” She half yelled. “But he’s corny, he tells bad jokes but he still makes you laugh. He’s always smiling and he’s just the sweetest.” I watched as she daydreamed, a small smile on her face.

“Give him a chance?” I asked. Alyssa stopped smiling, nodding her head and sighed heavily.

“I’ll think about it?” She asked. I giggled and nodded. She looked at me before the bus stopped and we looked around. Alyssa looked out the window and groaned.

“We broke down!” Justin yelled. The heat began creeping in, Alyssa pulling me to the front as everyone made their way outside, the bus driver calling for a tow truck.

“We’re getting on Mice’s bus!” Jack told us and we nodded, heading to the BVB bus. We climbed on, Jinxx greeting Lu-Lu, Alyssa, and I as we sat down. Andy was looking at me and before he could open his mouth, everyone else from the tour piled in.

“Mice’s bus broke down.” Jack Barakat sat on the arm of the couch next to me, the rest leaning on the walls and counter. Alyssa glared at Austin as he stood her up, taking her seat.

“Fucking bitch.” She mumbled, walking over to me.

“I think he wanted you to sit in his lap…” I whispered to her.

“Why?” She whispered back. I couldn’t help but smack my forehead with my hand. “Sorry…” She grumbled. I stood up, giving her my seat before Andy grabbed my wrist.

“I want to show you something.” He stood up, leading me to the back as Grant grabbed my other elbow. I turned to him and then at Andy, who smiled at me before heading to the bunks.

“If you need anything,” Grant said, me turning to him. “I’m right out here.” I nodded, going to the bunks and straight to the back lounge. I walked in, Andy was sitting on the couch where we were just the other day.

“I need to talk to you.” He whispered. I sat next to him, softly tugging on the tips of my teal hair. “Juliet and I are going through some problems and I just don’t know what to do about it. I don’t want to be with her, but I keep going back with her.” I continued to look down at the ground, thinking about what to say. I couldn’t really figure out what to say, other than thinking everything through.

“Maybe if you try talking with her it might work. Unless it’s because you don’t want the relationship to work out.” I shrugged.

“See, I really like this girl, but I’m not sure if she likes me, you know? Maybe if I just hang out with her more, and forget about Juliet, it would work.” I nodded and Andy sighed, nodding. “I’ll give it a try.” He rubbed his hand, my eyes staring at the Dragonfly tattoo.

“I’m assuming that’s for her?” I asked. Andy patted it and nodded.

“Yeah…” The bus stopped, and I stood up, looking down at Andy.

“Come on, let’s get going.” Andy followed me outside and I caught up with Grant and Ben. Lu-Lu was holding Vic’s hand, the two laughing about something. Alyssa was walking next to Austin as he tried grabbing her hand but she smacked it away.

“Fifty bucks says they won’t kiss until the tour moves to Britain.” Grant grinned.

"How do you know they didn't kiss already?" I asked.

"Aus would've told me, so far, he's been as close as to touching her arm, but no further. He really wants her though." Alan joined in, joining the bet.

“I’m all for it!” Ben grinned.

“Whoa, is that a bet? I’m in!” Jack Barakat joined in and soon, many other people joined in: All of Mice, Alex and Jack, Justin, Gabe and Jesse, and Phil and Tino. I looked over at Alyssa who was leaning against the building, Austin in front of her. She was looking up at him as he texted on his phone. There was a small smile on her lips before it went away when Austin looked at her.

“I’m in.” I grinned.
