Not Dead After All (Tony Perry)

Back From The Dead, I See

AN- Hello my lovely people. I just wanted you guys to know I just started school and I won't be updating as much as I have been but I will try my best! I also wanted to say sorry if this is a bad chapter. But since I haven't been posting, this one will be kinda longer than normal! So enjoy!

The Frigging Turtle's POV (AN- I love you if you get that joke)

I had just texted Claire when Mike called my name. "Tony, come on. We're going on in two minutes." I nod at him and text Claire that it's time for me to go. She instantly texts back saying that she'll see me soon. I smile to myself.

"Who's got our turtle so happy?" I look up to see Vic grinning at me. "Probably his new girlfriend." Jaime teases as he approaches us. "You know the one you were making lovey dovey eyes at outside the bus yesterday?" I felt my cheeks heat up. "She's not my girlfriend." I state quickly. "And I wasn't making 'lovey dovey eyes' at her." The two of them roll their eyes and Mike comes up to us. "Whatever you say Tone. So who's the lucky girl?" Mike asks and I look away, knowing that the brothers wouldn't want to hear the name.

"Aw, come on dude. Just tell us!" Vic demands playfully. "Well... Its actually that drummer girl from Hell On Hello." I say sheepishly. "Claire?" Jaime questions but then his eyes go wide and he turns to the other two. "Oh shit! I'm sorry guys.. I didn't mean..." He was interrupted by Mike. "Don't worry about it. Its just a name." He assured him but I could tell the 'just a name' still kind of hurt him.

"We should go." Vic speaks up when it's time for us to go. I couldn't help but smile as the band and I walked onto the stage and hear the fans scream our names. I give a quick glance out to the crowd to see if I could spot Claire real quick but I couldn't find her. I brush off the thought that she lied about coming and started to set up. We all got into position at I began to search for her again.

After a few seconds I hear a whistle. I look to where it came from and saw Claire in the front, smiling at me. I grin and wave at her, causing her to wave back. I finally managed to take my eyes off of her when Vic started talking. "Hey everybody! My names Vic and we are Pierce The Veil!" The fans go crazy and I look back down to Claire to see her eyes are almost popping out of her head.

What's up with her? I think to myself as I raise my eyebrow towards her. I watch as she slowly calms down and I look of pure happiness consumes her face. Her smile is huge. That's when it finally hits me. She probably thinks he's really attractive. She probably likes him now or at least thinks he's much more attractive than me. Damn it. I should have known this would happen. I should have known she wouldn't like me the way I liked her.

She's probably going to talk to Vic later and they're going to hit it off and really like each other. What if she gets a crush on him and she turns to me for help? She'll ask me how she could increase her chances of dating him and Vic would probably do the same. They'll eventually date and then... Okay I need to stop. I have to keep a smile on for the show and the fans.

I do just that but I still couldn't help but feel awful every time I looked down and saw Claire staring at Vic. She would look at me from time to time with that huge and adorable smile on her face but somehow it was a different look than the one she gave my friend. This is stupid. Why do I have such strong feelings for her when I just met her?

Time skip to end of set

Vic's POV

The guys and I had just finished our first show of Warped Tour and it was amazing. I almost forgot how great it feels when the fans scream for us and sing along.

After a while of putting things away and setting up so the next band could play, we all head back to our bus to take turns taking showers. I called dibs on first and took a quick but relaxing one. I finished and got dressed before going into the lounge that Tony and Mike were in. (Jaime was second to take a shower) I sat down next to Mike and watched whatever was on tv.
