With This Ink in Our Skin We've Sealed Our Fate

Three

I woke up to a phone blasting in my ear.

I grabbed the phone and uttered a groggy, "H'lo?"

"Miss Sanders, your brother has requested a wake up call for you. The bus leaves in 30 minutes."

"Thank you," I mumbled and hung up the phone.

30 minutes later, I was clutching a coffee and sitting across from Michelle on a moving bus with my sunglasses on.

"Aww, did wittle Bwee dwink too much?" Michelle taunted.

"Shut the fuck up," I shot at her.

She smiled smugly, "Hit a nerve?"

We heard someone throw up in the bathroom and the door unlocked. Syn walked out of the bathroom and saw the coffee in my hand.

"Mmm, come here," he said, smiling.

I grinned and he sat next to me, grabbing the coffee from my hand and taking a long sip. He wrapped his arms around my waist and we snuggled into each other.

"Syn?! What the hell?!" Michelle shrieked.

"Shut up, stupid bitch," I moaned, hiding my face in the crook of Syn's neck.

"We're fucking hungover, get over it," he said.

I smiled and took a sip of coffee. Rose walked in and saw us, then grabbed my arm and pulled me up.

"What the fuck?" I asked as she pulled me into the back lounge.

"Do you remember anything about last night?" she asked.

"I remember Brian took me to a bar, but after we started drinking, I don't remember."

"You guys made out," she said, lowering her voice.

My eyes widened, "What?!"

"I called you and you were making out, and then we told you that Michelle was here and then you kissed him again."

"Oh my God, I kissed Brian?" I whispered.

She nodded. I walked back to Syn, who opened his arms towards me. I smiled and cuddled into his arms.

"Do you remember anything from last night?" I whispered in his ear.

He shook his head.

"We made out last night," I whispered.

His eyes widened and he smiled. I smiled and bit my lip. He grinned and hugged me closer.

"How do you know?" he whispered.

"Rose just told me."

He smiled, "I'm glad."

I bit my lip again, "Are you really?"

He nodded, "Yeah."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Michelle! Stop freaking out!"

"Don't fucking yell at me, Brian!"

"Stop getting a fucking attitude with me, Michelle."

"I'm going home!"

"Fine, fucking leave."

Michelle walked out of the venue. I walked in and saw Brian lean against the wall and sigh. I walked over to him.

"You okay?" I asked quietly.

He looked at me and sighed, "Yeah. Michelle just left."

I put my hand on his shoulder, "It'll be fine."

He smiled, "Thanks."

"Wanna go for a walk?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yeah."

We walked outside of the venue, around the back where the buses parked.

"B, you okay?"

He looked at me, "Yeah. I just wish Michelle was more--"

"Understanding?"

He shook his head, "More like you."

I stared at him, "What?"

"Bree..I...um..."

He stopped talking and kissed me. I bit his lip and he slid his tongue in my mouth. He turned us over and pressed me against the wall. We started making out when we heard Val.

"I don't know where he is, but I'll find him, Michelle."

We pulled away and he quickly lit a cigarette. I put my hands on his chest and pushed him back.

"You're suspiciously close."
