"Don't let it bother you..every band has their fights sometimes." Vic reassured me later after the show as we sat outside of our tour bus. We leaned against the bus.
"Maybe, but I'm nervous..it's not just about that..it's about the whole situation with Jeremy." I explained as I stared over at the others who were sitting in lawn chairs. Neil was next to Jessica, Josh next to Ryan, and Alex next to Taylor. Jeremy stood by A Day To Remember's bus with Kevin. Drinks were being passed around the group. They all accepted, except Taylor. That didn't surprise me. He wasn't much of a drinker. The rest of Pierce The Veil was inside the bus..except Tony. He was sitting by himself strumming his guitar.
"Hmm...I was going to say maybe the whole thing will pass, but since we're almost a month into tour it doesn't seem so likely. He always gives dirty looks, but not only to you guys. But to us now."
"What?" I asked in a shocked voice. I had always been told both bands had gotten along well..that's why A Day To Remember chose them to go on tour with them. They had needed another band to come on tour..and well that's how we got here. Neither of the bands got to chose..only the judges and their managers.
"Yep. Ever since we started getting close." He stared into my eyes. His face seemed slightly sad. We stayed quiet for a few more minutes. He opened his mouth to talk but he was interrupted by shouting. Our eyes immediately shot into the direction of the lawn chairs. Jeremy and Taylor were having yet another screaming match. I sprinted over towards them.
"I've had enough! Seriously!" Taylor shouted as he pushed Jeremy. Jeremy pushed back.
"I hate all of you guys! I wish your crappy, one hit wonder band, hadn't been chosen! Silent Whispers should have been chosen!" Jeremy argued. Silent Whispers is a band that's a lot like Chelsea Grin. They had been chosen for another tour that was taking place in the winter. Taylor threw the first punch. Kevin tried to hold back Jeremy, but he failed. Vic went up along with Ryan to try and stop Taylor from doing anymore damage. Taylor struggled to get out of their reach but he wasn't able to.
"Just stop!" I cried as I got closer to them. They both rolled their eyes and gave each other dirty looks. If looks could kill..they'd both been dead right at the spot. I felt tears fall out of my eyes.
"Why should we stop? We've done nothing but hear you all fight all day." Jeremy said in an annoyed voice. I sighed. I suddenly felt tired and confused.
"Why are you guys even fighting?" Vic asked as he wrapped one of his arms around my waste. He was trying to comfort me, but it really wasn't working. Jeremy snickered.
"Because of the way Jessica and Taylor have been fighting all day. I don't understand how she can call that bastard her friend. She's way too good for him and deserves to be treated better." My eyes widened as Jeremy spoke. Did he really mean, what I think he means?
"Excuse me?" I snapped.
"You heard what I said. I fucking like you. Too bad you're with Vic and I'm with Victoria." He said his voice in almost a whisper. Taylor's face looked shocked. I got out of Vic's reach and walked off. I started sobbing. I heard footsteps from behind me. I turned around to see Taylor.
"Go away." I ordered. He completely ignored me and hugged me. I struggled to get out of the hug but that only made him hug me more. I pushed him. He looked confused.
"Are you still mad at me for earlier?"
"Duh." I replied as I walked down the road a little ways. Taylor continued to follow me. I turned around and got in his face."Do you fucking not get it? Go away! I hate you!" I yelled. Taylor pecked me on the lips. I began to feel dizzy as he moved away.
"What wa-"
"I've wanted to tell you for a while now..but since you're with Vic.."
"Wha-"
"I know it seems all too confusing and too sudden but-" I pushed Taylor again. This time it was hard enough to knock him to the ground. He looked up this time he was angry. "What the hell was that for?"
