Limits |Noah Sebastian/ Bad Omens|

3: Play the game

Authors Note: Oh-my-God, an update? I want to say I will get better with updates but truthfully, I am getting so busy, and I don't think it will slow down but of course I will keep you all posted. HUGE thank you for the fact, Limits has hit 42k reads. It blows my mind that you all love this silly story so much.

"I think we should upload this photo of us to promote the episode" Jamie said but her voice felt distant as my fingers tapped on the table in front of us. We were eating lunch at the venue's break area—it was a smaller venue today and the guys were already out getting ready. "Fae?"
What could Ray have that he would use to scare me? Was his bluff real? Maybe he was trying to control the fear in me once more like he always tried to do. "Earth to Faith?" next thing I knew, I was yelping as a fry had landed down my shirt—scowling at Jamie I plucked the fry from my tank-top before tossing it back at her. "What has gotten into you, you seem to like have some kind of tour bug or something" she sat back crossing her arms over her chest.

"Sorry, just been tired. Sleeping in a bunk hasn't been the easiest" it was a lie—the only ones I felt had a hard time were both Noah and Jolly since they were the tallest.

Scrunching her face as she looked me over, she just shrugged her shoulders before once more trying to show me her phone screen. "This photo? Yes, no?"

"Yes, definitely. Our boobs look great in that photo" she snorted as she selected it for her Instagram promotion for the latest episode of the podcast. It felt weird that I was now fully working on it—I loved working on it with her and it felt so nice to finally let more of my creative outlet show. I still helped my old boss but working with Jamie we did make enough to support ourselves and even get some sponsorships which we donated money from those to help women's shelters and communities.

Finishing what little food I could stomach—Jamie finished off her drink before flashing the post in my face. Since this tour started, I had severely lost my appetite due to the knowledge that my ex was here, and the thought of him made my stomach churn. "Your brother wants to explore tomorrow on their day off, are you up for it?" she asked as we stood from the table.

Following her out of the room, my eyes scanned the area, seeing the faces noting everyone who walked past us. Her offer was sweet, and as much as I wanted to say yes to it. I couldn't, I had therapy since promising my mom—of course I did this alone, could I let others in? Sure, but if they felt everything, I felt part of me feels like they would lock it away like I did myself. The others don't know Ray is my ex, maybe torture, but after this I know I never need to see him again. "Ugh no, I can't this time sorry, I have some stuff I need to get done but maybe the next day off we can explore, make a video out of it" that seemed to please her as she went on her way.

Smiling as Noah rehearsed his vocals, my smile faltered when I saw Ray sitting there on his phone. Going to Noah, I wrapped my arms around him as he swayed the both of us. "No, don't stop singing" I frowned as he let out a chuckle that could stop anyone's heart on the spot.

"I saw the promotion of your guy's podcast, you both looked great" he smiled kissing the top of my head. From the corner of my eye, I could have sworn Ray clenched his phone in his hand as if he wanted to say something to Noah.

Licking my lips, I looked up at Noah with a smile on my face. Ray be damned, he wasn't going to take this happiness from me with Noah. "Do you? I think our boobs look great in it, will totally bring in the thirsty metal men" he laughed his head tipping back a bit as his tattooed throat worked.

"Oh, I see, so you are trying to be metal sirens then?"

This time it was my turn to chuckle. "No, I just think our boobs look great but the photo itself was the best fitting for what we wanted" he nodded understanding.
