I leave my footprints for the evidence

"Alana, what the fuck is Alex and Jack doing here?" I ask trying to keep my composure. "Well, I invited Alex down and..." She started to trail off holding her hand to the back of her neck. "And?!" I asked again getting a little irritated. "And we both thought that maybe you and Jack just needed to spend more time together." She looked down at her fingers playing with her nails. "So y'all could work everything out, ya know?" She finished looking up at me.

I threw my head back and took my fingers through my hair. "Alana, you don't even know what happened after I left Baltimore and why I never went back." I moved my head back down to look at her. "Ok, but Alex thought it was a good idea-" "Alana listen to yourself, I mean listen to me for fucks sake. I said I never went back, how would Alex know my side? All he knows is what Jack has told him." "Paige...I'm sorry to interrupt but we're ready to open up." Mina said.

I took in a deep breath of air. "Alright, I'll tell you what happened at some point but for right now I'm gonna enjoy this night." I smiled at her, I could never be mad at her. I rested my hand atop her shoulder and walked over to all the guys. "Alright, y'all get your Mexican asses on stage. You two come with me." Pierce walked up the couple stairs to the stage and went back while I walked over to the VIP section of the entertainment area. I pushed both Alex and Jack into the chairs.

I pointed a finger at Alex. "I know why you're here, and you don't know anything. As for you-" I started talking to Jack. "I didn't know I was coming until I was on the plane." He said defending himself. I angrily nodded and walked down the three steps to the front door. I took in a deep breath and stepped outside the doors. I stepped out letting a small gust of wind carry all the hurt, anger and betrayal fly away with it. Seeing all those people outside, despite most were here for Pierce, I was excited.

I clapped my hands together getting everyone's attention. "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, and fan girls. I have awaiting inside great food, drinks of the adult and non-adult and one of the greatest bands you will ever see. So when I step aside I will let y'all in. Just a quick thing first. Please don't harass the band members please, please, please. We want them to come back so be nice." I begged. They all nodded. I smiled and stepped away from the door way allowing people to flood in.

I watched all the people go in. Once the last person was in I followed behind. Stepping in the band hadn't started yet but the music in the dinning area was on playing on of my favorite songs. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. I bobbed my head walking through watching people's faces change. I felt good, accomplished, like I finally found my purpose. I went through a door near the end of the bar that led back stage. I walked up the little side stage that I did have.

"Izzy, this place is phenomenal. The stage isn't as big as they normally are but it's quite adorable." Jaime said to me. I smiled big, letting all the work I've put into this place show off. "Thank you." I said giving him a hug over his bass. I pulled back bumping into someone. "Watch it, babe." Vic said. Smiling I stepped aside for him to pass. He did but grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into him crashing our lips together.

I rested my right hand against his cheek deepening our kiss. I pulled away and touched his nose with the end of my finger. "Get out there and rock it." I said booping his nose. "You're such a dork." He growled pulling me into his arms again. I let out a giggle and pushed away again. "Go, all those teenagers are gonna kill me." I said with a laugh as he kissed my forehead. Vic went a head of Jaime to grab his guitar. Jaime stepped over to me. "What was that?" He asked.

"Calm down, Jaime. He asked if we could continue where we left off and I said yes." He rolled his eyes and tried to turn away. I grabbed his wrist. "Nothing will happen this time, I'm fine. Plus it's only for a couple days anyways, y'all will leave for tour soon anyways." I said He lightly pulled his wrist out of my grip. "Yeah, but he'll be devastated just like he was last time..." He trailed off looking away from me. "Just go easy alright?" He said. I didn't know what else to say so I just nodded.

"Hey, Come introduce us." Vic said with a smile on his lips. I pulled a smile onto my face and stepped past Jaime excusing myself. I stepped out onto the stage. I walked up to the mic. I adjusted it. "Hey, y'all." I said with the crowd cheering. There were a lot more people then I thought there would be. "Alright, so I promised a band. Well here for the very first time on my tiny stage is an amazing band, Pierce the veil." I said raising my fist.

They cheered and They stepped out on stage, Vic up next to me and the rest in their normal positions. I smiled waving and walked off stage. I stepped down and out the side door I had walked into earlier. The guys had already jumped into Bulls in the Bronx. I walked into the kitchen pulling an apron on. "So what do we have going on, Sammy?" I asked tying the apron. "I doing cupcakes for the display case but other than that everyone knows there jobs and were actually on schedule."

We both found a piece of wood to knock on and I grabbed a couple cupcakes. "Do you mind if I steal these couple?"I asked taking 4. "Nah, go ahead." I smiled as I placed them on a platter shaping them into a penis. I laughed as I covered them with pink and purple icing. It looked funny but you knew what it was. I then took the piping bag and made hair on the balls and in black wrote welcome to Georgia. I licked the icing off my fingers.

I picked up the platter and made my way to the out door. I pulled off my apron and hung back up. I walked through the crowd of people in the dinning room to the doors which lead to the bar/entertainment section. I walked over to the VIP section which I'm glad I walked up there cause there were 5 girls freaking out. "OMG! I love you guys! Jack you can take me here, I'm yours!" One girl shouted. I held the platter above my head and pulled two of my fingers to my lips making a loud whistle noise.

The girls stopped attacking the boys. "Y'all have 5 seconds to get out of the VIP booth before I have y'all arrested for assault." I spoke in a serious tone with an eyebrow raised and a hand on my hip. "Who are you to tell us what to do?" One girl asked. I stepped forward. "I own the fucking restaurant you're standing in and if I have to I will get security." They stared at me with wide eyes. "Now Go." I said sternly. The girls grabbed their stuff and left, making no sound or any comments.

I smiled and sat down. "Thank you, they were gonna eat us alive." Alex joked. I laughed. "Yep, happy to help. That's the only thing I hate about this life style y'all live in." I said setting the platter down. "Made y'all some cupcakes." I said. Both their smiles lit up on their faces. "Thanks fucking awesome." Alex said. "Alright, I was mad earlier. I'm sorry, This is a really exciting night for me." I said with a laugh at the end. Jack was finally paying attention to what I was saying.

I put my hand on his. "I'm glad you are here to share it with me." I added. He smiled. "Look, I'm sorry-" "We can talk about it later Jack." I said giving a smile. He nodded. "So how did you come to know the guys on stage?" Alex asked, this question seemed to get Jack's interest also. "When I moved out to San Diego I met Mike at a party and he got me to open up, convinced me to get tattoos and piercings. Eventually I met the rest of the goof balls up there." I said laughing.

"Yeah! You guys are fucking amazing!" Vic yelled into the mic. We could hear him perfectly from here. "We're gonna slow it down for one song and I want my good friend Izzy to come up here." He said. I looked over at the stage his eyes looked across the crowd searching for me. "Who's Izzy?" Jack asked as I slipped out of the booth. "I am." "What?" Alex asked. "Middle name is Elizabeth, I'll be back." I walked over and through the doors again and made it to the stage.

Two stools sat out there. I stepped out and Vic held out his hand already sitting on a stool with his guitar in his lap. I took it and sat on the other stool. "Need another mic and that other thing please." Vic said into the mic. Tony brought the stuff out and handed me a 12 string acoustic and set up a mic in front of me. "Really?" I asked turning to see Vic. "Of course, you think I'd come down here and not." I laughed and hid my face in my hands. He leaned over and whispered. "You'll do fine." I picked up my head and he kissed my cheek.

The crowd Ooo'd and I blushed. We looked at each other and he started and I jumped in playing the notes I remembered so well. He sang and I played going through each part seemingly perfect. It got down to my part and I prepared myself for it. "If you were me, you'd do the same 'Cause I can't take anymore, I'll draw the shades and close the door, Everything's not alright and I would rather..." I finished Vic continued and the song ended. He turned and smiled at me and my face still bright red.

He took my right hand in his while I stood up and pulled me closer into a hug. He leaned into my ear whispering. "I told you you'd do great." "Yeah, I should listen to you more often." I said with a laugh." He kissed the tip of my nose and I waved and walked off stage. I walked past Mike and Tony and headed back to to the bar to see if I could help. "Paige, what was that?" Alana came up behind me. "Do we have to do this right now? It happens." "It doesn't just happen." She said back.

I rolled my eyes. "We have been an item before yes, is it starting again, I don't know. Yes, at one point I did love Vic but that was after Jack stopped talking to me and he helped me get through somethings." I said going behind the bar to finish the night. "Alana, I don't wanna do this with you right now. Please just give me the rest of the night?" I asked. She nodded and I turned to help behind the bar, Alana vanished and I started to do old me things. Like mix drinks and do cool bartender tricks.

But like all good things they must come to an end and so did the night. I was cleaning up the bar area with my phone on shuffle hooked up to the stereo. I was singing along to Four year strong's cover of Love song. I'm wearing my Batman flip flops and I'm finishing wiping down the bar. "I'm gonna get a ride home alright?" Alana said to me. "Sure, with who?" I asked. "Alex got a rental." "Ok." A few minutes after she left Vic and the guys walked up to the bar. "Hola, Woman." Vic said. I laughed and threw the paper towels away.

"Hello, chillins." I said to all of them. "Come on, let's roll out. I'm tired as fuck from running around." I said hopping over the bar. I jumped down and grabbed my phone of the plug. We walked out the front and I locked the door behind me. We got out to my car. "So..." Tony said trailing off but I knew what he was getting at. Vic sitting next to me understood as well. "We've decided to see what happens this time." Vic said to Tony. "You know what happened last time, you got hurt." Mike said.

"You know he wasn't the only one hurt by my move alright? A part of me died the day I left you guys." I said shutting up all talking from the back seat. We pulled up to my house and walked in. I went to the laundry room not even making it to my bedroom. I pulled off my dressed and pulled out some shorts and a tank top from the dryer. I made my way into the kitchen grabbing a bowl of Gold fish and heading up the steps. Everyone else was in their rooms except Alana who met me in the hallway.

"'You're about to be mad, but don't. You love me, I love you. I don't wanna die." She said giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek before pushing me into my room. Jack was sitting there on the bed in his boxers. "Hey." I said mouth full of goldfish. He laughed. "Hi... Alana put me in here-" "It's ok, my beds plenty big enough." I said with a smile, but on the inside I was screaming. I didn't want to be doing this. I didn't wanna be here, I shouldn't have to be doing this. I crawled into my bed on my side.

At least we slept on opposite sides on a regular basis. I clicked on my tv and the Nightmare Before Christmas was in. I clicked play and I scooted closer to the middle holding out my bowl of Goldfish. Jack scooted closer and took a handful. We both spoke every word of the movie and sang every song. Right before the end I couldn't hold my head up anymore and leaned onto Jack's shoulder and didn't wanna move. That's what I remember before falling asleep.
