Twitter Saved Me (Mike Fuentes) (Pierce The Veil) *COMPLETED*

Chapter Nine

1 WEEK LATER

KATE

I hadn't heard much from either Fuentes brother this past week, though Jaime and Tony assured me that they were just being brothers and arguing over something stupid. I was happy that the guys liked the song I helped Vic with and I personally couldn't wait to hear what it sounded like when it was recorded and put out there for fans.

Jaime and Tony were coming over to mine today to film a couple of YouTube videos. Jaime wanted to do something food-related, so we were going to do the 'Eat It Or Wear It' challenge. Whereas Tony and I were going to have a Star Wars off to see once and for all who the biggest fan was.

As I set up a white sheet on the floor to stop food staining my carpet on the coffee table my phone vibrated. I thought it was going to be Jaime or Tony asking to be let in downstairs but then they would have used the buzzer system. After a week of ignoring me, I was pleasantly surprised to see a message off Mike.

Tall Fuentes: Sorry for ignoring you Kate I have no excuse other than I didn't quite know how to ask you...would you maybe like to go on a date with me?

I felt the phone fall out of my hand and hit the floor. Well, that was unexpected and out of the blue. Did I like Mike that way? I mean he'd been there for me since the night on the bridge and did everything to make me feel special, but sometimes it felt a little overbearing like he didn't know how to tone down the caring. But what harm could one date do? If it didn't work then hopefully we'd be able to remain friends. The phone found its way back into my hand and I start typing before I can talk myself out of turning him down.

Kate (To Mike): I would love to go on a date with you Mike x what do you have planned?

Tall Fuentes: I'm going to take you out for a nice meal, nothing too fancy. How does tomorrow night sound?

Kate: Tomorrow works for me, just give me a time x

Tall Fuentes: I'll pick you up at 7pm x

So now I had a date with Mike, every fangirl's dream. I was about to reply when the buzzer sounds telling me people are downstairs. I put my phone on charge and get up to greet the two Mexicans who might be able to give me some advice for tomorrow night.

I pressed the buzzer and opened the front door and waited for a couple of minutes for the lift to ping at the other end of the corridor. Tony and Jaime walked out, well Tony walked at a normal pace while Jaime all but ran at me causing me to run back into the apartment to escape him.

"Give Hime some love Kate."

I squeal as he picks me up around the waist and starts to spin me around on the spot. I try and slap his arms but he ignores me and continues his spin assault. Over his shoulder, I notice Tony laughing and holding his phone up as if he was filming us.

"Help me turtle, you're my only hope."

All it took was one Star Wars reference to make Jaime swear and stop spinning. His eyes widened as Tony lowers his phone and grins before running at Jaime. I'm dropped onto the sofa and Tony tackles Jaime to the floor and starts tickling him. I film it on Tony's phone which he dropped and send it to Mike and Vic before posting it to Twitter.

"Stay down you beast, you've been defeated by turtle."

I clap my hands and cheer, Tony stands up and bows while Jaime pouts like a child on the floor. This was going to be a fun day.

"I love you, two idiots."

Next thing I'm tackled on the sofa and squeezed half to death. I swat the boys until they let go and sit down either side of me. Jaime throws his arm around my shoulder while Tony scowls at something on his phone before turning to glare at me.

"Did you put us fighting online Kate?"

I nod and bury my face into Jaime's shoulder while Tony sighs and tries to do some damage control, although I knew he wasn't bad because he was smirking as he re-watched the video. Jaime pats my back like he was soothing a small child.

"There there little one."

"Can I ask you guys for some advice?"

I pull away from Jaime and start playing with my fingers in my lap.

"What's up Kate?"

I hand Tony my phone with my open messages to Mike. Jaime flops over me to read the phone nearly knocking the air out of my lungs. Both guys share a look with each other as if they were having a private conversation which unnerved me, did they know something I didn't?

"Err do you guys want to share with the rest of the class?"

Jaime sits back up while Tony hands me my phone back.

"So you're going a date with Mike tomorrow night? That's great, just don't let him drink that much okay?"

I raise an eyebrow in Tony's direction "what do you mean by that?"

Tony shrinks back against the sofa "Mike like a drink or two even with a meal. Now we know from Vic that you don't drink though we don't know the full story."

From numerous interviews I'd watched about the band I knew Mike liked to drink and smoke, but the way Tony and Jaime looked at each other made me think it was worse than I first thought. I sigh and run my hand through my hair; I guess it was only fair for Tony and Jaime to know my past.

"I'm going to tell you why I don't drink anymore."

"You don't have to tell us If you don't want to Kate. We don't want to push you."

Vic knew bits and pieces while Mike knew the whole story. I take a deep breath before launching into my past while Tony and Jaime listen intently to each word. By the time I'm done telling my story they both look sad, Jaime throws his arms around me as does Tony.

"We're so sorry Kate. Damn, you've had it hard. Group hug"

"Thanks, guys. You give good hugs."

We hugged it out for a few more minutes before pulling back. I stretch my arms above my head and point towards where I have the camera and white sheet set up.

"Should we get filming? It will lighten the mood."

Jaime jumps up and nearly trips on the white sheet causing me and Tony to burst into laughter. For today, I'd put my doubts about Mike's drinking problem behind me and just enjoy filming YouTube videos with my friends.
