Bulletproof Love
Stay the Night
Chapter inspiration: Stay the Night – Zedd ft. Hayley Williams
One day. They had one day left, and―to Victoria’s luck―it was mostly spent helping Alex pack. She folded his clothes that he handed to her and put them in his suit cases. Alex looked at her face each time he handed her something, seeing the same sad face. He didn’t want to leave her, it was honestly killing him inside. He remembered everything on the night he was drunk, and despite his intoxicated state of mind, he meant what he said. He wanted her to run away with him, but he knew she couldn’t. And no matter how many small smiles she threw him today, he felt a pang of guilt each time.
Once they were done by the end of the day, they headed to Victoria’s house. Her parents knew how upset she was, and didn’t care the fact that they saw her heading up to her room with her boyfriend. They knew she needed this time with him and didn’t mind him staying later than usual.
They didn’t talk as they laid on her bed, keeping their eyes trained on the Spiderman movie that played on her TV. They held each other tightly: Victoria’s head lying on his shoulder while Alex’s arms snaked around her.
Victoria had gone through the whole movie without making a peep, until the last scene where Mary Jane confesses her love for Peter and Peter tells her he can’t. Victoria never cried at movies, which made her turn her head away from Alex to hide the tear running down her cheek. She had been holding in a good cry all day, and she guessed she just finally hit her breaking point. And over a damn movie.
“Victoria,” Alex whispered, pulling her chin to look at him.
“Fuck,” she muttered under her breath, looking down and wiping away the tear. “Sorry, I don’t usually―”
“Stop trying to put up this front, okay?” He said, making her meet his eyes finally.
She groaned in distressed at the tears falling from her eyes. “I’m ruining our last day. I’m sorry, I really am―”
He pressed his lips to hers, silencing her for both their own good. She felt that the kiss was forced, like he was only kissing her to shut her up and to stop her crying. It didn’t work, because the tears still made their way down her face when he leaned away. He rubbed them away the best he could, his mouth trying to not form into a wobbling frown. “I’m going to fucking miss you.” He said, looking straight into her puffy hazel eyes.
It was Victoria’s turn to force a kiss, but this was for her. She needed to stop bumming out the situation and make today worth it, instead of crying all over Alex’s shirt. She knotted her hands in the back of his head, pulling their bodies closer as he hovered over her. His hands roamed under her shirt, tracing circles on her pale skin. He then pulled away, looking at her with a confused face.
She glanced at her hands. “Can we just …” She saw the look he gave her, but she only continued. “… Be selfish?”
She didn’t give him time to agree or disagree, only pressing her lips to his again. She allowed his hands to roam wherever they wanted, but forbade the depressing thoughts they both had for the rest of the night.

Victoria woke up to the alarm she’d set for this dreaded day at eight AM. She turned a bit to the side, seeing the covers flipped up and the space empty. Sitting up and running a hand through her hair, she thought over what was going to happen today. She wondered if she didn’t walk across the street this morning, she wouldn’t have to see Alex leave with the rest of the guys. But she knew time didn’t stop for no one.
She got dressed, throwing on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt, but in a very slow matter. She walked down her stairs and sipped on a small cup of coffee. Her parents spotted her, knowing today was the day and giving her a smile. She did the same, despite the war raging in her inside.
It was during this time that she had finally decided what she had to do today. She had been avoiding this for months, but knew it had to be done today and she finally knew how to process it. She didn’t want to, in fact the thought of her actually going through with the decision made her want to punch a wall. But she had to.
Just because Alex got that wonderful tattoo, it couldn’t make them stay forever.
