SONG - SHE MAKES DIRTY WORDS SOUND PRETTY BY PIERCE THE VEIL

Tony's POV

A week since Angel and I shared that kiss. Our first kiss. It was the most magical moment I have ever felt, I don't care whether it's only the second date. We had our third date, which was extremely cute. I had rehearsals but I managed to get Vic to let me off for the day and I took Angel to the park and we had a picnic, where we kissed again, which resulted in an extremely hurried run under a bus stop during a horrific storm, where we kissed again. We both were soaked, but I gave my jacket to her, nevertheless, as she would not stop shivering. When we finally got back to my flat, I let her have a bath and change into my clothes before dropping her off at her flat in the evening, where we kissed again.

Every thought I had was of her. I fancied her more than a little. She was taking over every breath I had inside of me and it was irritating how I wasn't going to see her properly until I got back off of the festival run. It wasn't love, not after two weeks. But I knew that I wanted it to be. There was clearly an attraction and a connection and I'm pretty sure that's how it worked. I didn't want to tell her, but she was my first kiss. She was my first, well, anything. I'd fancied girls before. In high school I had had a massive crush on a girl called Felicity..

FLASHBACK

There she was! Long fiery red hair came around the corner. It was quiet around, actually. Only her and the other girls. She was so nice, or at least when I'd heard her in class. We'd never actually spoken. Maybe this was the day.

"Felicity? Hi!" I shouted, nervously. I'd waited 3 months to get the guts to speak to her.

"Uh, hi?"

"It's Tony!" She looked puzzled. "From Maths class?"

"Oh right." She turned to walk away, the girls following in her lead.

"Bye!" She sniggered and the girls chorused a hysterical laugh.As I walked into math class later that day, there she was in her seat at the back. Laughter erupted through the class as I walked in and I saw her smile at me so I smiled back. As I sat down facing the board, one of the girls turned to me.

"You like Felicity don't you?" 

"No." I went bright red.

"TONY LIKES FELICITY IT'S TRUE." The classroom erupted into laughter once more.

"She doesn't even know who you are! Besides, why would she date you when she could get someone on the football team instead of a band geek!"

And that was why, I had never persued crushes.

END OF FLASHBACK

Angel. God, she was just completely taking over my mind! I took my phone off of charge to find a message from Angel.

Angel: Morning! I have work today but I'd love it if you'd call me tonight. I don't know whether you will but if you can finish early, maybe I could come round x

I text her back

Tony: I'll ask Vic. We should be done by tea time anyway. Maybe I could pick you up about 6:00? x

As I waited for a reply, I hopped into the shower and got myself ready for the day ahead. After pulling on some clothes, I went and woke Jaime up.

"Jaime, dude, Vic wants us there in 10 minutes."

"I'm up already." He shouted as if I was outside the room, oblivious to the fact that he was still in bed.

"Jaime." He sat up and called me a few rude names as he headed to the bathroom. After cursing his way through a warm shower and dragging clothes onto his hungover worn out body, I picked up my keys and guitar and headed out the door. He followed with his bass. We both got into the car and I drove us to Vic's place. We went via Starbucks, of course. I knew Jaime would remain grumpy if I didn't buy him a coffee so I went buy and picked up one for each of us. I got back to the car to find Jaime asleep. It was definitely going to be a long day.

MIKE'S POV

"Vic, the boys have just arrived! I can see Tony's car in the lot! Oooh he has coffee!"

"Nice. Elle's gonna come up in a bit and watch but she's having a lie in."

"Lucky lady. Why can't we hav lie ins? You've made us be here for 9:00 for the past week and I swear I am exhausted."

"But, were you out drinking last night?"

"NO. I was not. ACTUALLY." Vic's comment was typical. Expecting me to have been out all night. I was spending time with my wife, as it goes. We were discussing baby names and watching "What to expect when you're expecting." It made me realise, Vic's going to be the cool uncle and that makes me sad because I am the cool one in our family.

"Well, just think we only got a few days left and then we're gonna be packing for heading to the UK."

"Ah that city. I'm planning on going to the Harry Potter studios when we have free time."

"You are so fucking obsessed." Vic rolled his eyes at me just as Jaime crashed through the door, clearly in a mood.

"I have just woken up, I am tired, let me have my coffee. Do not even touch me." Jaime sat down on the floor cross legged, with an ever-growing frown on his face. Tony passed him his coffee and he snatched it towards himself. "I'd say thank you but you woke me up."

"Good morning Jaime!" Vic exploded, laughing. "Thanks for the coffee Tony."

"Oh, I uh got one for Elle. I didn't know whether she'd be up but I didn't want to leave her out."

"I'll take it. We start in 5 guys." Vic walked out of the flat, coffees in hand.
