Just When I Thought You Were Mine (A Pierce The Veil Fanfiction)

Chapter 43 - Dream That We Can Fly

Song - Remembering Sunday by All Time Low

TONY'S POV

The whole affair of the Meet and Greet went amazing. There were so many fans who wanted to meet us and it made me feel so loved, as it always has. Jaime was particularly enthusiastic today. Mike was massively hung over, as was I, but he still put on his brave face and a big grin for all 200+ photos. One fan was cute enough to bring me another ninja turtle teddy. It fascinated me how they bought us presents. I had a good 50 turtles now and all of them sit on top of my wardrobe cupboard in neat little rows. Another fan bought us all Thornton chocolates with our names on, which were delicious. As soon as the meet was over, however, I had to go and pack my things and head to the airport. Vic came back to the hotel with me.

"You sure about this Tone?" He asked, slightly concerned.

"I've never been more sure. I just want to see her."

"I understand that Tone, but.."

"Vic, your girlfriend is here with us. You don't understand."

"I.. I know. Just stay safe turtle and text as soon as you land back in the US."

"I will do." He pulled me in for a hug. I've always loved Vic's hugs. They're incredibly comforting.

"Have you got your passport and shit? "

"Yes, Dad." I joked. He laughed at me and settled into a smile. "I'll see you in under a week anyway."

"I know. I'll miss you Turtle. We'll call you some time." He helped me put my bags into the taxi and he waved me off as the taxi drove me to the airport.

I hadn't done an airport trip on my own for several years. It was quite nerve wracking and anxiety inducing. I was constantly scared of going the wrong way or boarding the wrong plane or putting my bags in the wrong place. I didn't see any fans, which was a relief. I love meeting fans, but I was far too concerned for my organisation that day.

When I finally got onto the right plane after all of the security checks and last minute shopping, I was relieved. I triple checked my tickets and sat down in my seat. My headphones automatically went in. I had heard the introduction to flying talk too many times from all of our touring. So many times, in fact, I think. I'd be able to give the speech myself.

It was a good 10 hour flight back over to the US. I spent it listening to music and the occasional nap, flicking through the films they were playing in between my bits of sleep. I had nothing else to do. Reading doesn't interest me and I never took my laptop on tour, so playing games was also out of the question. The time, passed very very slowly. It felt like days rather than hours. In fact, I only knew it was merely hours because they only gave two meals out - tea and breakfast. They weren't much cop.

After the dreadfully long and tiring journey, I practically skipped to collect my bags and headed through the US security checks with a bounce in my step.

Soon Tony, you'll be seeing her and holding her in your arms. You can tell her all you've been dying to say and she'll be so happy you're home. She'll love the surprise.

I could feel myself grinning like an idiot as I called for a cab and it didn't stop when I entered the cab or even when I got to my flat, trying to balance a suitcase and my guitar up the stairs. Vic was bringing my other guitar when he came next week.

"I'll be able to pick you all up, so it's easier." I had said to him.

After I had changed, I grabbed my car keys off the side and headed into town in my car. It was only 10:00am and I really hoped Angel wasn't working. I'd never asked her. I picked the nicest bunch of red roses I could find and had them arranged into the perfect display to match her ever present perfection.

Next stop - Angel's flat.

I drove legally, but only just, at great speed to Angel's flat and I felt the excitement bubbling inside of me. I pressed the lift button. Up. I could srr my hands physically shaking.

I can't believe you do this to me.

I felt my breathing increase.

Look, at what the thought of you does to my very organs.

I could feel my heart rate hit the roof.

This is why I have to tell you now.

"I love you, Angel." I said to myself over and over. "Angel, I need to tell you how I feel. I love you."

I tested all the ways to say and it but I had no idea how to. I clutched the roses tightly in my hand, causing the thorns to attack my palm. Blood ran down my hand but I didn't care. I stood at Angel's door, took a deep breath and knocked.

JAIME'S POV

"Thank you for last night." Jenna smiled sweetly at me.

"It is no problem. I was sick of sleeping alone too." I gave her a gentle smile back and she rubbed my arm. "Can't believe this festival is over already."

"I know. It's ridiculous. When are you staying until?"

"Another week I think. Do you have to go?" I frowned at her.

"I'm only leaving the day before you!" Sbe giggled and I stuck out my bottom lip.

"A day may as well be forever." I faked sniffling. "I'm only kidding. I mean, you're only a few hours away. I can visit you when we're back. Plus you can always come and have sleepovers. You can meet Tony's girlfriend"

"It is adorable that turtle's dating! I bet she's lovely."

"She's not half as beautiful as you." I whispered into her ear.

"Shut up." She muttered but I saw her smile, no matter how hard she tried to hide it.

"I will not shut up. Not now and not ever. You're stuck with me for a while so you better get used to it!" I poked her nose and her face scrunched up in reaction. She's adorable as hell. "I say we leave out the end of festival celebrations and get an early night because I am fucking exhausted."

Jenna yawned.

"Yeah. That sounds nice." It was already 11:30. We'd been out for a bit but the party would extend to tomorrow morning and my energy just didn't expand that far.

"Yo! Vic! We're gonna head back! I'll see you in the morning?" I shouted over the music.

"Yeah! We're not doing shit tomorrow so just relax and have a lie in." He smiled and waved as me and Jenna left hand in hand. I was happy that he was ok with us two. I was happy that he was happy. I still feel really guilty about the other week and my mind was constantly worrying about him.

I was happier with Jenna, than I had been in a whole while. She made the nights so much easier. Having someone to hold but not leave me was like therapy to me. I could finally sleep easy in my bed.
