Vic’s POV

I felt filthy. When I woke up, I had Kellin’s arms around me. Panic flew through me. Did Jack see us? Does he know about Kellin and me? I loved Jack more than anything but Kellin snuck his way into my head and into my bed. This can’t me undone and taken back. I’m going to break his heart and I hope I don’t ruin all that he’s accomplished in the last two months. He’s entered recovery and I don’t want to cause him to relapse.

Getting out of my bunk, I saw the disappointed faces on Tony, Mike and Jaime. “I’m sorry. I fucked up bad and it can’t be fixed.”

“As much as we want to be mad, we saw you and Kellin coming. You two have chemistry but not quite like you and Jack. You’re going to break his heart. You have to tell him. There’s no doubt about that. Either you tell him or we do.” Mike said.

“Okay.”

Kellin made his presence known and did the walk of shame from my bunk to his bus. It was kinda funny to see him limp his way back.

“Ohhhh Vic harder.” Mike mocked in a high-pitched voice.

I gave him a dirty look and Tony defended him saying, “then don’t sleep with Kellin on our bus in your bunk while dating Jack. Jack deserves the world and yet no one can give it to him. Alex about broke him and we spent how long trying to fix him? And here you go, breaking him again. Do you even think sometimes?”


I shook my head. I texted Jack, “good morning cx”

I got an answer of, “morning.”

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“I know what you and Kellin did. I saw his walk of shame. We need to talk.”

“Okay. My bus ASAP.” I sent back.

“Jack’s coming over.” I shouted.

I cleaned up and got ready for him to come over. Once he came in, I saw the heart break on his face. He didn’t let me touch him and I don’t blame him.

“Kellin and I were a drunken mistake. It didn’t mean a thing Jack you have to understand. I’m a horny drunk and he was, well he was there and he was drunk and horny too.”

“Did I even mean a thing to you?”

“More than you’ll ever know.”

“I love you but I see how you luck at Kellin, it’s not just a one nightstand. You two have something, like how I had something with Alex. I cant stand in your way knowing that you two could be perfect for each other. And its not like I didn’t see this coming, I knew it’d happen at some point I just didn’t know when.”

It stung that he knew that I’d cheat but he also wasn’t pissed like chop my dick off but he was disappointed. I felt terrible. I made him probably think he was unlovable and that was the exact opposite.

“Jack, I do love you and I wish you the ultimate best. Please don’t be heartbroken over me. I don’t deserve it. Find someone better, maybe Alex will change his mind and finally see what he can have. You two are perfect for each other. He’ll see it once Lisa is finally gone for good. Just don’t fall from where you’ve gotten. Keep climbing the latter of recovery please.”

He nodded and said, “okay. It’s going to be hard without you but letting you go is best. You’ll still be my friend, I don’t want to lose you but I also need space too. I think its best we part here but remain friends. I wish you the best. You deserve it.”

I stopped him as he started to walk away and said, “Jack you deserve the Galaxy, I hope you find someone who gives it to you.”

He gave me a small smile and by the time I blinked, he was gone. Tony came out of hiding and said, “I texted Rian to let him know.”

I nodded and went to my bunk. Getting in, I cried a little bit. I lost someone I loved because I thought Kellin was cute while I was drunk. Sure I’ll admit I have eyed Kellin while sober but he’s cute in like a sassy teenager way and he has a wife and kid. That makes me a home wrecker and a fool. Crying my eyes out, I cried myself to sleep.



Jack’s POV

When I woke up this morning, I knew something was off in the bus. I followed my suspicions to Zack and Rian who I made tell me the truth. They saw Vic and Kellin go to the PTV bus late last night and then saw Kellin leave this morning walking like he had a pain in his ass. I knew it would happen but it still hurt. I waited for Vic’s text so we could talk this out.


In the end, we parted ways. Its what’s best for us. I loved him but he broke my heart. Part of me wanted nothing more to rip my skin apart but I kept myself from falling into that. Alex saw me on the couch and hugged me. Rian bored the bus and said, “bad news guys, well good news Alex, bad news Jack and Zack: Lisa is here.”

I nodded and then got up and went to my bunk. Turning on my music, I listened to every single sad song on my play list. I ignored Lisa opening my curtain and her bitchy voice saying, “what’s wrong with him?” and then her answer of, “I knew no one could ever love him.” I closed the curtain and flipped her off and said, “Fuck you, you bitch.”

Alex could do whatever. I didn’t give a single fuck. I was beyond my weekly amount of bullshit in a span of three minutes. Alex opened my curtain later and said, “I’m sorry about Lisa. I also asked her to leave and pack up her things and leave the apartment. I wont let her treat you this way. Again, I’m sorry I let her treat you the way she did for so long.”

“It’s cool man. The past is in the past.” I said.

“I’m also sorry to here about you and Vic. You were cute. How about since we both just got out of relationships, we go to the nearest bar, get shit faced and stay out past bus call? Just the two of us.” he suggested.

“That actually sounds like a good idea. What time do we play?” I asked.

“We go on at 8, and have a meet and great at four.” He answered.

“Sweet. Anyways, wanna play some xbox for awhile?” I asked.


He nodded and I got out of my bunk. We ended up playing until it was time to get ready for the meet and greet. We joked around the entire time and just had a blast. It felt good to laugh like we used to and make dumb jokes.

Once we were all ready, we headed to the area where we would meet the fans. I could feel the excitement of the fans that were waiting outside the doors. It was loud but exciting. As the first fans entered the room, they fangirled, screamed but were smiling. A few fans had tears in their eyes and a few even cried. I made little jokes and watched as they laughed and started to smile. We hugged anyone who asked and took pictures with as many people as we could. It was a good crowd tonight. No one was rude, and it was just a lot of fun.

Once back in the dressing rooms, I suggested we do the end of tour prank. My suggestion was to do it to all of the bands with us. Everyone said they were done so we listed ideas.

My favorite was going on stage during PTV set and throwing beanbags at them while they played. During SWS we would randomly walk across the stage as they played. For ADTR we decided to take Vaseline and put it under the handle to the bus door. For the wonder years, we only put Vaseline on there windows and left a note saying, “it was awesome touring with you (; “



We then got the stuff needed and did what we needed to do quickly. We also decided spur the moment to Vaseline PTV’s RV. Once we finished, we just barely made it into the building without getting caught by fans because we were being noticed a little bit towards the end. The doors opened to the venue not longer and sooner than later the show started. The vibe was awesome. We played and PTV pranked us. Mike made the hand signal for weed at me really quickly and winked. I shook my head and laughed. Jaime looked at Alex and me and wiggled his eyebrows. Vic didn’t go near me but he did at one point and I could tell he felt terrible for what he did. I knew Vic knew most of my parts so I handed him my guitar in between songs and said, “play for me.”

I then ran around the stage like the idiot I am with a huge smile. Everyone but Vic from PTV left the stage. I then took my in ears out for a moment and put them by Zack and made sure I didn’t have my wallet or phone. Once I was done with that, I smiled and waved at security and then stage jumped. The crowd carried me around for the rest of Hello, Brooklyn. I returned to the stage for Therapy. Vic played for me still. Alex did his little speech he always did while I put my in ears back in. apparently, security wasn’t pleased with me but I didn’t give a fuck right now.

Alex began to sing and I said into the dead mike, “can I sing some parts pwetty pwease Alex?”

He finished the lyric and I then took over using his mike. My voice wasn’t as smooth as Alex’s but it wasn’t too bad. The line I personally loved to sing was, “give me therapy, I’m a walking travesty but I’m smiling at everything.” The crowd loved it. I loved it. Vic even smiled. Once the song was over, I took my guitar back and thanked Vic. He waved to the fans and then we played a love like war. Vic then left the stage for good and we then ended with Dear Maria. It was an awesome show!

Sleeping with sirens then came on and we then did our plan of walking on and off. Alex did it first. He stuck his head out and waved. Jaime then pushed him and they then chased each other around the stage. Most of the band was chill with it, Kellin not so much. We did our thing but didn’t interrupt them too much. My favorite thing was when I slapped Kellin’s ass reeeaaallly hard and whispered, “bet that hurt.” And then walked away.

PTV went to play and we waited a while then disrupted there set like planned. Jaime was laughing his ass of enjoying it. I took Tony’s guitar from him and then made him wander around the stage while I played a song for him. I gave him back his guitar for the song I didn’t know too well and then took Vic’s guitar when he played a song I knew. It was fun.


I gave him his guitar for when he played king for a day. I remained on stage though with Alex. I avoided Kellin for the most part. I also sang the back up parts with Jaime for fun. It was a blast. Kellin sent little glares at me at me the enter time but I shook it off. Jeremy then came on and it was even more fun. Alex and me played a beanbag game before we started to throw them at Vic’s butt. We then threw them at Tony’s butt and then Jaime’s butt. We left Jeremy alone for now.


When ADTR came on, it went insane. The crowd got even wilder and the vibe was amazing. Again, like before, we hit them with beanbags and walked across the stage and were silly while they played. It was a lot of fun honestly. The night came to a wrap and we all bid night to the crowd. Once we were all cleaned up, Alex and I along with Zack and Rian went out to a bar. Rian was designated to be in charge of all of us tonight. Zack bought Alex and me our first round of shots. Let me tell you, by the third round, I was definitely enjoying myself.

It was well into the fifth round I remembered how cute Alex was. By the ninth round of shots, I was three sheets to the wind. I lost track after 10 but all I know was I was having a damn good time. All of what I had felt the last few days was gone and was replaced with horny Jack and let me tell you, it was not a comfortable thing.



Other Pov (narrator/ alternate view)


Alex had drunk a few shots more than Jack but he was well intoxicated. Unfortunately for Rian, he had lost Alex and Jack to the crowd. Zack couldn’t find them but suspected they had ended up on the bus somehow. Stuck with the tab, Rian paid and left with Zack. Upon returning to the bus, the two saw that the lights were on. Upon opening the door, they saw clothes on the floor thrown on the floor like a Tornado had swept through the bus. Following the trail of clothes was the sounds of moans.

Zack and Rian instantly looked at each other then the bunk area and then each other once again. Nodding, they both then headed for the door and locked it behind them as they made their way to the ADTR bus. All they told Jeremy was that they wanted to hang out since they haven’t in a while. Zack and Rian ended up having a good time and caught up with old friends who was something they hadn’t done in awhile.

Meanwhile on the PTV bus, Vic was playing a song in his bunk while Jaime and Mike played Video games and Tony watched star wars yet again for the third time this week. Vic was upset that he screwed up and lost someone he really cared about. He knew what it was like to be cheated on but he never thought in a million years that he would cheat on someone. It was ultimately a drunken mistake but he could not undo what he had done.


Kellin, who was on his own bus, was doing his best to ignore the pain in his ass but he couldn’t help but feel extremely guilty. Not only did he mess up his own marriage, he messed up Vic’s relationship with Jack. He attempted to drown his sorrow in alcohol after the show until his band mates ultimately took the booze from him and got him to explain the situation. As much as they knew they should be furious with him, they knew it was bound to happen at some point or another while he was drunk. The real question they posed was what about his daughter and wife. Kellin instantly said that when he saw Katelyn, he would tell her and own up to what he did and accept that if she wanted to leave him, she would but he would not stop being there for his daughter.

Mean while on the ATL bus, Jack and Alex had finished what they were doing and passed out where they both lay. Rian and Zack returned to the bus a long while later. They knew that in the morning, the chance of either of the guitar players would remember anything in the morning. Rian subconsciously worried for what Alex could possibly say when waking up next to Jack naked but pushed it out of his thoughts while he got into his sleep clothes and told himself he would worry about the situation in the morning if it were a problem.

The following morning came around quicker than anyone wanted it to. Zack was the first to wake up, Rian followed suit. The two of them cleaned up the bus since it had yet to be done since the last time they had a break and it was well in need of a cleaning. Alex woke up before Jack. When he woke up, he panicked. The last thing he expected was to wake up next to his band mate naked. Getting out of bed slowly, he grabbed clothes and went to the bathroom. As he walked, he noticed that he had hickies on his body and love bites. Gulping as he walked into the bathroom and shut the door, he sat down on the toilet and had an eternal melt down. He had drunkliy slept with Jack. The same Jack he had feelings for. Part of him screamed at him for having sex with Jack and not remembering a thing past the 7th round of shots but the other half was more upset that he used Jack as a rebound from Lisa. By the time he showered and cleaned up, he knew what he had to do.


When Jack woke up, he was confused. At first he didn’t know why he was in Alex’s bed and then he realized he was naked. He put the pieces together and realized he had sex with Alex last night. The emotions he felt were a hurricane in his chest. His first rational thought was to get out of Alex’s bunk and to the bathroom. Unfortunately, someone was in the bathroom showering so the alcohol that would ultimately be thrown up had to be forced down a little bit longer. As Jack got dressed, he couldn’t help but feel dirty. Part of him knew that Alex only slept with him because he was completely wasted. The other part tried to tell him that he was a rebound and it meant nothing to Alex. Forcing his feelings down, he put on his so- called, “mask” that hid his true feelings.


For the three steps forward Jack had taken towards recovery, he had been now set back 10. For things were about to get a lot more complicated quite fast and everything everyone thought they knew was about to get real distorted.
