The First Punch

As we all got up from the table Lian and I couldn’t take our eyes off of Kel and Quin. Now Quin had his hands on Kel’s and Kel was blushing severely.
“What do you think they’re gonna do today?” I asked Lian and we made our way out of the door.
“I’m not sure they might just go around the city. I don’t really know. There is this like local vintage hobby shop they could go to I’m not sure.” She shrugged grabbing Jaime’s hand.
“Uh guys…” Vic asked turning around to face our group. “How are we going to get back to the bus? Kel drove us here. Lian can you go get the keys from him?” Vic asked Lian seriously. Lian looked at him with an ‘are you an idiot?!’ face. “What?” He asked looking scared.
“You obviously don’t know Kel. I’m gonna tell you this once.” Lian said letting go of Jaime’s hand and going forward to Vic. “Nobody ever.. EVER… drives Kel’s car. You don’t touch it, you don’t wash it, you don’t even fucking breathe on it. He has spent his whole life on the car and If you even so much as look at it wrong you will get the literal shit beat out of you. Got it?” She was now in Vic’s face and he looked terrified.
“Uhm okay, so uh we uh will- will uh walk? It’s not that far. We can go to shops on the way. Sound uhm good?” Everyone nodded quickly and Jaime and I just laughed as Lian backed off.
“Babe you’re so hot when you get mad.” Jaime said pulling Lian into his arms. She giggled as we all started to walk. We went into the record store that was next door to the café. It was called The Spinning Record and when we walked in we saw tons of people. This store was way too busy for almost 11:00 on a Monday. When we walked into the store a few of the people turned to look at who had come in. They quickly turned back around and notified the people next to them of our arrival.
“Holy shit! It’s Pierce The Veil!!” One of the girls screamed out and the whole shop went ballistic. Asking the guys if they could take a photo and sign some stuff. Lian, Ray, and I all walked to the other side of the store which was now almost empty. On the wall they had leather jackets and other leather things. I cringed looking at them.
“Eyyyyyyyy Alex look they got your jacket!!” Ray and Lian both laughed while pointing to the Misfits leather jacket on the wall. They loved to torment me because I was vegan and a huge animal rights activist.
“You guys better stop before I pull up a video on my phone.” I threatened pulling my phone out of my pocket. They’re hands quickly started to shake as in to stop doing what I was doing. They hated when I threatened showing them a video because they hated to see where their animal cruelty shit was coming from. They got away from the jackets and walked over to where the PTV records would be. I shoved my phone back in my pocket and followed them.
“Hello ladies! What are we looking for today?” The man from the counter asked us, walking from behind the counter.
“Oh, we are just looking around.” I said. He had maybe around 5/8in. tunnels, like 12 tattoos on each arm and short faded lilac hair with shaved sides.
“Oh okay! I’m Jonathan but everyone calls me Jace. This is my shop! I hope you like it!” He nodded, smiling at us.
“Wait, what made you want to open a record shop in the first place? Oh and I like your hair!" Lian said perking up at their most identical hair colours. Jace laughed.
"Thanks, I like yours too! And I originally opened it with my then boyfriend, his name was Quin.. But he ended up leaving me and the shop..." He said straightening his shirt awkwardly.
"Why'd he leave?" Ray bursts out as Lian hit her.
"You can't just ask that!" Lian whispered defiantly. And Jace laughed.
"No it's okay! He was just uh... Let's say unstable." He coughed awkwardly and fixed his sleeves. "Uhm well if you need anything... Just shout!" He smiled and walked back to the counter.
The crowd started to dissipate from the band and the boys slowly made their way over to us. Before they got there I turned to Lian.
"He said he dated Quin. Do you think that's Kel's Quin? Unstable? I couldn't see him ever hurting Kel though.." I rushed.
"I think everything will be fine. And if we see anything bad happening then we will just stop it. We shall protect Kel!
I was really hoping that Quin was stable now... But I don't think Quin would ever do anything to Kel.
When the guys got over to us we started to look at the records. We found a Pink Floyd record and an Of Mice one. The line for check out was huge! We must've waited 30 minutes to buy our stuff and get out. After we got out we walked past the diner and looked inside the window to still see Kel and Quin staring at each other all lovey dove like.
"Guys! We all know how to board right?!" Jamie asked jumping up and down a bit in front of our group.
"Ummm yeah I think so... Why?" Lian asked looking at him curiously.
"There is this skate shop right down the road here... Let's all buy boards and skate back to the bus. Or we can just board around the city!!" He proposed still jumping up and down.
"I'm down." Tony said walking up to Jamie. I nodded and so did Vic and Ray. We all walked to Jaime. Lian just stood there staring at Jaime.
"This is why I love you." She said running up to him and jumping into his arms. He spun her around and we all walked to the shop.
When we got in the walls were lined with boards. After a while of just looking around everyone decided on longboards. Ray, Jaime, Vic and Tony all got complete boards, which means they were already built. Lian and I picked out our own boards piece by piece. I ended up with a pintail arbor deck. Paris trucks and some weird glow in the dark wheels that I had gotten before and wanted again.
I was first to check out and as I was pulling out my money Tony came up behind me and handed the guy his card and his board.
"I'll pay for you." I at first denied it but he resisted to go without paying for my board. All of the rest of the guys paid for their girls boards. When we left we put our wheels to the road and started to ride back to the bus.
In no time we were back and walking to our bus. We heard moans of pain coming from behind a nearby bus. We walked to where the sound was coming from and saw a boy, maybe 19 years old, he was laying in the fetal position and he had cuts and bruises on his face. Wait I think I know him… He looks like a kid from a newer band.
“Gibson?! Is that you? Who the fuck did this to you?!” Ray ran to his side. Now I know why he looked so familiar, he was the guitarist for Mums The Word. A newer band that came from Britain and this was their first year on the tour.
“M-mike.. That bloody cock sucker! He needs to learn a fucking lesson…” He uttered trying not to move because it was too painful.
“Are you fucking kidding me? Where is he?” I asked ferociously.
“He was going to the PTV bus… I was just smoking outside of my bus and he stumbled over asking for a hit and when I said no he fucking beat me up..” Gibson said.
“Ray, Lian, Vic, can you help him back on his bus and take care of him while the rest of us go and settle this thing once and for all.” I said walking towards the bus with Jamie and Tony following me. Right now I only had one thing planed for Mike on my mind… pain..
