"Wake up!" Taylor yelled into my face the next morning. I yawned and sat up in my bunk. His bunk was right below mine.
"Where were you all last night?" I asked in a sleepy voice as I began to climb out my bunk. He moved out of my way that way I could have some room to jump out of my bunk.
"Out with a hot chick." He said proudly as I jumped from my bunk. I raised my eye brow at him.
"What's her name?" I asked as we walked towards the kitchen area. He smiled.
"Victoria. She says she loves band guys." He bragged. I chuckled. That was so like Taylor to brag about his latest girl. He had always done that for as long as I could remember. It never really bothered me because I never thought of Taylor in that way.
"Well that's great. I'm happy for you." I replied as we sat down at the table. He continued to smile. Jaime walked in and sat down across from us.
"Did you sleep with her yet?" He asked. Taylor started laughing.
"Not yet. I don't do that on-" Taylor began before I cut him off.
"Ew! Okay, I don't need to hear that!" I shouted disgustedly. They both laughed. I rolled my eyes. Taylor wasn't all about that. Or the last time I knew he wasn't. Chelsea walked in the room. Her hair was all over the place and she looked, well, like crap. She walked over to one of the couches and passed out on it.
"Hang over much?" Jaime asked. She only groaned in response. "I take that as a yes then." I turned my back towards Taylor and stared out the window. It was raining in the town we had currently been driving through. I sighed as memories of Maine shifted back into my head. It had always been rainy in our small town. I stared out the window for a while until I felt things being thrown at my face. I turned back to face Jaime and Taylor who were laughing hysterically. I shook my hair and watched as pieces of cereal fell onto the table. I rolled my eyes once I finished.
"What was that for?" I asked them disgustedly. Jaime kept on smiling.
"I wanted your attention." He said as he pointed his head in the direction where I noticed Vic was standing. Vic flashed a smile. I smiled back and moved my way out of the booth. I nearly crushed Taylor while doing so. I noticed he was chuckling.
"What's so funny..?" I asked slowly once I reached him. He continued to chuckle for a few minutes, but I finally realized what he was chuckling about. "Gah that's embarrassing!" I shouted as I tried to fix my hair. I had bedhead. He shook his head.
"It looks..cute actually." He said softly. I looked up and noticed how close he was to me. His eyes seemed to be sparkling. I smiled as I realized how much I liked him being close to me. I slowly felt the butterflies go into my stomach. I knew what that meant. I liked Vic Fuentes.
A few weeks passed and Taylor began to "officially" date that Victoria chick. Ever since the first day I met her I didn't get a good vibe from her. She was blonde, extremely skinny, and the hugest bitch I've ever met. It may seem like I'm being stereotypical or something about blondes in general, but hey, that was how she was. I didn't think anybody else in our band liked her. I even didn't think Pierce The Veil liked her much either. She always seemed skittish about meeting A Day To Remember which made me suspicious. Eventually she met them..there was something odd about it though. She didn't seem nervous, in fact she acted like she had known them longer than any of us had. It was weird. Her and Jeremy seemed to be..well rather close. Taylor didn't notice. I wondered if anyone else did or perhaps I was being too paranoid? Either way..it didn't seem right.
As for Vic and I..nothing else really happened. I did begin to like him more and more as the days went by. We hung out as we normally did. It was beginning to bother me to hold back telling anybody that I liked him. I figured I'd tell Taylor later. I could trust him.
I peeked out from behind the stage into the crowd. There were hundreds of kids in the crowd. I could see lots of kids wearing our shirts. Our fan base was growing. That was the best feeling ever. I smiled happily as I scanned the crowd with my eyes. Tonight we, were performing at a small outdoor venue. It was our second time ever playing an outdoor show. I personally liked the change compared to club shows.
"Damn there's a lot of-hey look! There's Victoria!" Taylor shouted from beside me as popped up next to me. He pointed towards the back of the crowd. I could see her perfectly now. She was, again, wearing A Day To Remember shirt. I turned towards Taylor. He turned to face me.
"Don't you think it's a little weird she always wears A Day To Remember shirts? I mean..I get she can like other bands, but shouldn't she help support her boyfriend?" I asked Taylor. He shrugged.
"Yeah..you're right, but she's listened to them longer..and stuff so.."
"I'm just saying this right now Taylor. I don't have a good feeling about her. There's something weird about her-"
"Jessica. Are you just jealous I have somebody now? Look we'll always be friends, best friends in fact, Victoria is a cool girl. Just give her a chance. She's not a cheater." He said confidently as he placed his hand on my shoulder. I wriggled my way out of his reach and sighed. I walked over towards Chelsea and Ryan. I didn't care what he had to say...she was hiding something.
