SWEAR TO SHAKE iT UP

[-->PEYTON&&GABBY<--]

001.
She could hear him walking around the room, collecting his clothing. Her eyes were still hut but it was obvious to him that she had woken up from her body movements. He sat next to her on the bed, placing his hand on the small of her back and pressing his lips to her shoulder softly. She exhaled slightly when she felt the male's warm touch on her partially bare body. She rolled over so that she was lying on her back. Her eyes were still shut but she was able to take the collar of the boy's shirt and pull him down so that their lips met. He laughed softly.

"I have to go," he said, his tone was sad, he wished he could stay with her. The girl opened her eyes, winching slightly as they adjusted to the dim light. She shook her head and looked up into his big brown eyes. He pushed a strand of platinum of her eyes.

"C'mon, it's morning. I need to be back in my room," he said. The girl sat up, looking around taking in the surroundings of the hotel room. She looked down on the bed at his hand, she took a hold of it, and he did the same. He leaned in, kissing her again; she kissed back, his free hand running through her hair.

He got up, his hand on her cheek, and offered her a small smile and left the room. She watched him as he walked out the door her eyes lingered there. She was hoping for there to be another knock at the door and she would be in his arms once more. But the knock never came, and she was alone in the hotel room. Her only company was the first few rays of morning sunlight pouring in from the curtains over the city skyline.

She ruffled her hair, running her fingers through it trying to brush it a little; it was still straight from the night prior. She got up out of bed and went over to the window, drawing the curtains and sitting in the chair facing the window, staring out at Philadelphia. She grabbed the pair of skinny jeans and belt sitting on the floor next to her, pulling them on. She looked down and adjusted her skintight leopard print tube top. She sighed and looked out the window yet again. She pulled on her black chucks and her purple American Apparel hoodie.

You don't bring much else if you're staying in a hotel for one night then getting on a bus the next day where all of your things are. Holly stood up and ruffled her hair again. She soaked up the skyline one more time and walked out the door.

***********************************************************************

"So why are you here?"

"I'm here because we don't leave for New York until three in the afternoon." Holly said, her arms folded across her chest, she was still wearing the same outfit from earlier that morning. She was sitting across from the portly old man on an oversized leather couch. He chuckled softly,

"I'm here because, there are some things going on. If I told anyone there would be major chaos. And by law you cant tell anyone," she said staring him down. He looked at her with wide eyes, as if she was about to tell him she was about to tell him she murdered someone.

She cleared her throat and looked out the window.

"When I was in high school, I had this best friend named Joe, we were inseparable. He and his other friend were in a band with a few other guys and they went on a local band tour. Basically thats everyone and everything crowded in a van playing gigs wherever theyll take them. I went with them. While on tour I met the boys who went on to create a new band. Theyre better known now, anyways every night Id get bored before a show and play around with everyones hair and stuff and they liked it so I did it more often. I still do it for the boys every night, right now theyre touring and its great Anyways, They went on to create this new band, and that evolved into Fa- it evolved into this really big band that people know now. Ive been on every tour with them; Im kind of like their hairdresser, source of amusement and yea So the bassist, Pete and I have been great friends too since Arma Angelus that was that band from high school. I was the shoulder for him to cry on whenever his girlfriend was being bitchy and the one hed talk to and everything, and we go around causing havoc and performing our little antics and one night after everyone was drunk after a show we were hanging out in my hotel room. He and his girlfriend arent together any more so he was thanking me for being one of the people to get him away from her, anyways we had a few more drinks and then- she sighed, pausing for a minute then we found ourselves kissing, then he was on top of me and we slept together. Then the next day we acted like it didnt happen, because if anyone found out itd be total and utter chaos because I mean hes Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy!" she yelled, getting caught up, she looked at the man. Upon hearing Fall Out Boy his eyes became wide.

"That night, Holly continued, he came to my room, said we needed to talk about things. So we did for a little while, then we hugged, and that hug turned into a kiss, which turned into sleeping together, again, and every night since then weve been sneaking around in each others rooms and we havent told anyone. I really like him, because its more than sex hes a great person, hes sweet, funny, fun to be around and hes just an amazing guy. During the day we act like it never happened and it sucks because I want to be with him so much but I cant!"
The man looked at Holly, her head was buried in her hands,

"Well, next week-"

"I wont be here next week, were on tour, and besides I dont even go to shrinks I just needed someone to talk to." She grabbed her purse and took out her checkbook tearing out a page writing down the amount and his name, tossing it at him. She walked out of the room and out of the building without saying goodbye or thank you or anything,

********************************************

It was still only about ten in the morning, people were just waking up and ordering breakfast to their rooms. Holly ruffled her platinum strands again walking into the hotel. She took the elevator up five floors and turned a right down the hall. One two three four five doors down on the right, she knocked on the door. A hung over and half-baked Joe Trohman opened the door, falling out onto the floor. Holly stepped over him and walked into the room, sitting on the floor watching Dirty and Pete fight about something that had to do with Star wars. They both turned to her after they had come to a consensus.

"Where were you?" Dirty interrogated

I went for a walk," she said looking over to Joe who was crawling into the room, he lay down next to Holly, she pet him on the head.

"Where were you really?" demanded Pete in a joking tone,

"All right, you caught me I was blowing my pimp" she said sarcastically. The boys just laughed. Holly looked down at Joe,

"Has he had an Aspirin yet?" she asked, still petting his head, both boys shook their head. Holly got up and went to the bathroom, pouring a cup of water and a small white pill that would help with his head. She walked back out and probed Joe up, giving him the water and pill.

"Awh man, Holly. Youre so nice, youre like my mom, you- he took a sip youre so considerate and Thats a very nice hoodie," he said, she laughed. She stood up, pulling him up and supporting him against her shoulder. Pete got up and supported his other side; they walked him out of the room, Dirty followed.

They all walked him out to the tour bus and onto his bunk. He needed sleep for the show. Usually mornings were like this for him, but after sleep he was perfectly fine for the show. Holly walked out of the bunk area,

"He misses her a lot, doesnt he?" she stated, more like a general question or a rhetorical question. The other boys just nodded, sitting in the kitchen area at the table. They, meaning Dirty was plugging in a video game.

"Hey Holly, we should probably go wake up Patrick and the sexy vegan" Pete said, looking up at her. She nodded, putting her purse down; she didnt need it just for what they were about to do. The two walked off the bus,

"Yo! You better have that ready when we get back!" Holly yelled, in a false tough voice, Dirty just kept fiddling a small smile on his face. Pete and Holly walked back into the hotel, keeping a safe distance, even in the elevator. Getting out, Holly began to turn right in the direction of Patrick and Andys rooms. Pete grabbed her hand pulling her left. He took out his room key and opened the door to his room, the two walked in; he turned around looking at Holly,

"Pete we really need to talk-" she started, but couldnt finish; Pete had grabbed her and began to kiss her. They fell onto the bed, she was on top of him, still kissing him, and he rolled her over so that he was over her, he pulled away,

"I need to ask you something!" Holly demanded before he spoke, her eyes wide.

"Whats up?" he asked, he ran his finger on the area a few inches under her naval, right
before the fabric of her jeans started.

"Are we just doing this because... Because Well are you just using me?" she asked, wishing she hadnt. Pete stopped; he looked down and took his hand off of her, sitting up.

"Why?"

She shrugged

"I mean why would I do that to you? If you want to stop we can but-" Holly was not
sitting on him, straddling him, he began to speak again,

"I dont want to stop either. I like you, Holly, a lot, but you realize why we cant tell anyone." He said, staring up into her big blue eyes. He put his forehead to hers, still looking into her eyes, she nodded, slightly upset. She sighed and kissed him again, he kissed back rolling her over, they both giggled.

******************************************

"HELL NO!"

Dirty laughed

"YOU CHEATED!"

More laughter.

"Why do we get so intense when playing Mario Kart?" Holly asked, laughing at Andys reaction. She hugged him and he continued to pout.

"You guys," the man whom had come to be known as Korean Tom Cruise well be at the stadium in a few minutes, everyone just nodded him off. Holly got up and went into the bunk area, she poked Joe multiple times, and he rolled over.

"KOALA!" she called for Patrick. He came skipping in and looked up at the boy.

"Work your magic, Koala," she said. Patrick Stump, he was cute and cuddly on the outside, but could be mean and bitchy on the inside. Holly walked out of the bunk area, shutting the door behind her. Pete was there,

"Hey," she whispered

"So, what time tonight?" he asked her, putting his hands on her hips, they were standing where no one could see. She sighed a little, looking down. He pulled away.

"What?!" he demanded, his voice was still low.

"I just feel like were making a mistake," she said. He stared at her. She was strong, and confident, not backing down she stared back her eyes equally as intense.

"Why would it be a mistake?" he asked.

"Were not dating, were not allowed to tell anyone, we cant even do anything during the day," she said, her back against the wall.

"Who says we cant be together?"

"What are we supposed to do? Take it public? Even if theres one picture of us just looking at each other in the wrong way-"

"Fine if you want to stop then go ahead but I dont regret what were doing"

"Whatever Pete" she sighed, walking back to the other boys. Pete watched her walk away, Patrick walked out of the bunk area, a satisfied on his face, Joe followed, and his head low, as if he was ashamed.

*******************************************

"Oh look at this gorgeous hair," Holly said, putting water wax in Joes hair to give it a grungy look, "its amazing all of the complaints you got about not having the fro," she said, the rest of the boys in the room laughed.

"Youre on next," said a man poking his head into the door. Every one nodded.

"All right, up" she said. Pete sat down in the hair. There was no conversation, she straightened his hair and put on some eyeliner, their eyes met, both were sad but no one noticed, they were focusing on Patrick singing show tunes, all joining in throughout the song.

When she was done the boys got up, walking out of the room. She packed up her things and looked in the mirror. She had changed into a pair of red Chucks, black skinny jeans and a tight black track jacket. She straightened a few strands of hair. She sighed and thought about earlier. She didnt regret it, not at all. She just hated how he treated her during the day, nothing more than the hairdresser on tour with them. She shook her head and put her things in the duffle bag everyone shared.

Holly walked up, about thirty minutes later they were on stage jumping around and playing. She sat on an amp watching him play. She loved how he got so excited during certain songs. It made her laugh. But she would miss him not being in her room tonight.

Their two-minute break was hectic. They needed to change, makeup retouches, get water, pee, run to wherever they had to be next and it was just an unpleasant two minutes. As Holly finished the eyeliner for Pete, just being close to him was enough to make her breathe faster. They didnt speak. Usually they had a whole conversation or theyd laugh. She knew he wouldnt show up that night.

*********************************************

Holly sat in her hotel room, wiping off the eyeliner and other makeup. She sighed as she saw her freckles; they were cute according to Pete. Stop thinking about him. She walked out into her room again, looking around. She was lonely. She turned on the TV, not really watching it.

She sighed, still in her full outfit from the day. There was a knock at the door. Room service, she hadnt eaten all day.

"Thanks a lot," she said as the woman wheeled the tray into her room; she walked out, letting the door shut. But it didnt shut someone stopped it, walking into the room. He looked at her, letting the door shut. She pushed the tray away and got up, going over to him.
"I dont regret it Pete I just-" he grabbed her and kissed her. She kissed him back; they sat on the bed, just kissing for a while. Then there came a knock at the door.

[-->PEYTON&&GABBY<--]

002.

One of the things about Pete, was that he was an amazing kisser. He could do things with his tongue in her mouth that amazed Holly. The two sat on her hotel bed, her track jacket had been unzipped and was almost all the way down, there was the absence of a shirt underneath, only a black lacey bra. She had begun thr process of sliding off his hoodie while he reached for the button on her jeans. A knock at the door. The two were caught up in what they were doing, they never heard it. Then came the second louder more annoyed knock, both of them looked up. Holly took his hand off of the button on her pants and pulled up the zipper on her track jacket. Pete grabbed her hand as she got up,

"They'll go away," he said quietly. Holly pulled him up pulling him in close, kissing him passionately, he kissed back, she lead him with her lips into the bathroom and shut the door behind her leaving him in there, fixing her hair. Pete opened the door and looked at her in a confused way she shut the door on him. She opened the door to the room, watching Joe stumble in,

"Hey hon," she said, shutting the door behind him.

"Holly I tried to call her and she didn't pick up and what if she's upset or with another guy or what if she's forgotten about us?" he slurred, sitting on her bed. He fell over, laying down. Holly just sighed.

"Joe, she didn't forget you," she started taking the beer bottle out of his hand, "she's probably just out with her friends, missing you as much as you miss her." She sat down next to him, rubbing his head.

"But what if-?"

"Joe she loves you, you and her are gonna get married and have kids and have a great amazing life together and nothing bad will happen, I promise."

"I just wanted to talk to her..."

"Tomorrow morning, before we leave you call-"

"Why does your bed smell like Axe?" he asked, looking at her in a funny way. Holly shrugged,

"Maybe the last people here sprayed it?"
Joe just nodded. Holly sighed and got up walking to the bathroom, Pete had an Aspirin and water ready, handing it to her. She walked back out and handed it to Joe.

"Holly, you're so nice. And not just to me but everyone, its so awesome, you're such a great friend and..." He took the pill and sat up. He looked at her.

"Holly I'm a mess, she won't want me to go back-"
"Joseph Trohman she loves you more than anyone ever could," said Holly, she took the glass from him and took it over to the desk next to the window, she looked out at New York city, it was pretty amazing how each night she would look out at a different city. Joe stood up.

"I should go back to my room, try sleeping at night for once," he said, stumbling out. Holly just nodded and waited for him to leave before she ran to the bathroom. She opened the door and pulled Pete out.

She was finally where she wanted to be more than anywhere else in the world. He leaned in and kissed her on the neck softly, slowly sliding off her jacket and moving towards her shoulder. She leaned her head back, feeling his touch was unbelievable. She took his cheek in her hand lifting his face up so she could kiss it. He kissed her back, his hands running through her blonde hair, she kept her hands on his wrists, they sat down, she was on top of him, straddling him. She fell over, laughing at it, he just smiled at her and took off his shirt, leaning down to kiss her again, slowly unzipping the jacket. He stopped, this puzzled her,


"What's wrong?" she asked him softly, reaching up and touching his cheek. He held her hand to his cheek and sighed.

"We don't have to do this anymore Holly. I don't want to pressure you or anything, but I really like you but I don't want word to get out about it," She put her hand over his mouth and unzipped his pants, he smiled a little bit, doing the same to hers. He started at her naval, kissing around it and mooving up her torso with his lips soft against her skin. When he made it back to her face again she shut her eyes and took a deep breath.

**********************

"You actually gonna stick around this morning?" he looked at her and walked out the door not letting it shut. "Yeah I would believe you if you were actually dressed in more than your boxers!" she called after him. He walked back in closing the door behind him

Pete smiled and looked down, pulling on his jeans now looking for his shirt, Holly grabbed his hand and pulled him over to her by the tiny couch in the room, she was allready dressed and had done her hair. She ran her finger over the tattoo he had under his naval, she loved that tattoo. He smiled softly and looked down at her on the couch, her big blue eyes looked up at him. He sat down next to her, resting his head on her lap. She stroked his hair and cheek.

"Holly?"

"Yea?"

"Do you think we should atleast tell the guys?"

There was a pause. She looked down at him, a tiny trace of a smile on her face.

"Pete, it's up to you," she said. He looked at her, his eyes were big and he seemed slightly worried. He nodded.

"I want them to know," he said, sitting up, "they should know, I mean they won't tell any one, we can trust them. They'll probably be cool with it too, you know?" Holly nodded, he smiled back at her and kissed her cheek, then leaned down to grab his shirt. Holly put her hand on his chest before he put it on, she sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, he kissed her on the nose she rested her head on his shoulder, shutting her eyes.

"I could stay here forever" she told him, wishing she could. They stayed there for twenty minutes, in each others arms, just holding eachother. They didn't kiss or look at eachother, there was no ounce of selfishness attached to it at all.



***************************

Providence Rhode Island, then Boston, then a flight across the pond to England. The boys, not just the band but the others working on this tour and recruited as amusement from piles of friends and Holly sat on the bus, all deep in discussion about the dumbest things. That was their style. Holly stood up and walked into the bunk area, Joe was actually out laughing for once. She climbed up on her bunk and reached around in her duffel bag for a sharpie, she had to do nails. She heard the door open and shut. The light came on, she shielded her eyes.

"Why did your room really smell like Axe last night?" She looked up, her eyes wincing,

"I told you Joe it wa-"

"Holly, I'm practically your brother, I've known you long enough to tell when somethings up." He narrowed his eyes on her.

"FINE I WAS SPRAYING AXE ON MY PILLOWS BECAUSE IT SMELLS YUMMY!" The two tried to contain their laughter but couldn't. "It hurts to laugh!" she said while laughing, clutching her sides. She fell out of her bed, this made the laughing louder, Andy poked his head in the door, followed by Dirty, Pete, Patrick and Korean Tom Cruise. Joe sat down on the bed next to him still laughing, Holly was still curled up on the floor. The others came in, laughing with them Pete and Patrick sat in either side of Joe. Joe stopped laughing and looked at Pete, then to Holly

"Pete smells like your-" His eyes became wide. Holly stopped laughing and looked up in horror.

"Axe is a very popular thing, Joseph" she said, her tone was serious. Pete looked between the two, as did everyone else.

"Well why were YOU in her hotel room?" Andy interrogated Joe in a joking voice. The boys just laughed nervously, at this point it was obvious something was going on. Pete stood up and took Holly's hand pulling her up. He lifted her chin up with a curled index finger and kissed her passionately. She was shocked at first but gave in. They stopped and looked at every one else, their jaws were dropped.

"Guys me and Holly are together," he said seriously.

[-->PEYTON&&GABBY<--]

003.
Feeling Petes lips on hers was one thing, feeling them together in front of a group of people was a completely different thing. She knew he was going to tell the boys, but not like this. She was planning for it to just pop up in a conversation, not with him grabbing her and kissing her in the middle of an awkward conversation. Everyones jaw had dropped in the room, even though at the point in time when they found out it was apparent that something was going on. Even Holly looked as if she had been told something new and surprising. The silence lingered in that area of the bus for minutes; no one knew what to say to this. Holly sighed, figuring they were disappointed about it, they al probably wanted him to be with Ashlee Simpson. Ashlee Simpson wasnt the one standing just off stage at shows. That was Holly, but anyone could mistake a petite blonde for another, right? But they probably thought that she would be a better choice for Pete, Holly didnt, just thinking about it made her mad. The boys all just sat there, she looked up at Pete, and he was standing his ground, his confidence was strong and it seemed as if he dared anyone who didnt agree with the two of them being together to step up and he would just smash them into the ground. She took his hand, standing close to him, as if she was afraid. She was worried though, and in truth she was afraid. Finally someone broke the silence,

"You guys have no idea how awesome that is," this was the most serious Dirty had been in a while. Holly was able to muster a small smile, she was staring own at the ground as if it was going to tell her a secret. Pete lifted her chin up so she was looking at him.

"You alright?" He asked quietly. She nodded and smiled softly; there was still a trace of sadness in her eyes even though now everyone in the room was smiling. The chorus of "Thats so awesome", "You two are really great together", "Thank god you both found someone who is good for you" and more.

"Uhm" This came from Andy. The area became quiet everyone stared at him. "Define Together." Everyones eyes shifted from Andy to Holly and Pete the way peoples eyes while watching a tennis match switch back and forth. Holly shifted her weight and Pete looked at her. They were both uncomfortable.

"Oh my god theyve fucked each other!" Exclaimed Patrick, every ones eyes became wider than before. "Well?" he asked, persisting. Damn koala. The two looked at each other and started to giggle a little, they nodded slightly. The guys in the room just laughed, nodding, they all stood up, patting tem both on the shoulder as they walked out, leaving Pete and Holly alone with the bunks. Pete took both of Hollys hands in his.

"So... Uhm" Pete searched for the words Holly just smirked slightly. Patrick poked his head in the door he had a mischievous smile on his face, but someone pulled him away the door slammed behind him. The two laughed, staring at each others eyes. Holly let his hands go and sat down on the bunk behind her. She pat the spot next to her motioning for him to sit next to her. He smiled and walked over, sitting close to her. They took each others hands, lacing their fingers. She put her head on his shoulder shutting her eyes.

"Im happy we told them Like insanely happy" Pete said, playing with a strand of her hair. She nodded; taking in every sense, his touch, his scent, everything, and this was a good moment.

"Why are you so happy?" She asked him quietly.

"Because if we didnt we wouldnt be able to do this," he said looking down at the girl. "Youre beautiful Holly." That made her smile. She looked up at him.

"Youre just all around amazing Pete," she said kissing his cheek. He kissed her forehead and smiled softly at her,

**********************************************

"Put your mother fucking diamonds in the mother fucking sky!" The crowd went wild. Pete just laughed into the microphone. Holly was readying the flat iron, the guyliner, "This song echoed through the stadium This song is about being in love. Not just the- hah" people started screaming and cheering, "not the type of love you have for Cobra Starship or the love of your car. Its about that feeling you get from that person who makes every day worth living," the boys started playing Of All The Gin Joints In The World. Holly always found herself singing along to the songs, she never really grew tired.

She turned around and watched the boys, she loved their energy which they had a lot more of this evening. It made her smile, but when the boys came sprinting off for the two minutes they had as a break she fixed their hair, her conversations with Pete were back, better than the previous night when they were angry with each other. They sprinted back out on stage and wet at it again. She had no idea where they ever got their energy sometimes it lasted hours. Maybe it was just the endorphins or the rush of playing in front to a huge crowd.
**********************************************

"Oh no way!"

"Uh, yeah way"

"Holly why would-"

"Im the one who actually has a period I think I would know!" Everyone laughed; Korean Tom Cruise looked horrified wishing he had never brought the subject up. Their conversations on that tour bus were literally absurd. By the time they had gotten to the hotel no one was tired. Some find it amazing how after conversations like that or other excitement no one can sleep.

Again Pete found himself in Hollys room. The Providence skyline was amazing to Holly, the ocean in the background, the boats, and the buildings everything that came with the city. She stood by her window, leaning out and taking picture with her digital camera.

**********************************************

Pete walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. She drew the curtains, shutting out the city lights so it was only Holly and Pete in the room. She put the camera down and turned around, still in his arms. She put her hands on his chest and her head on his shoulder.

"I love how we can just stand here in each others arms for long periods of time and just be happy. We dont need to look at each other or kiss to be satisfied, personally I feel more satisfied when we do this. Those nights when Im not in your room I think about al night and when I wake up Ive never felt more rested." Pete said still holding onto her.

"Well, youre fun to look at and kissing you, she paused to kiss his lips is fun too." She paused, a cheeky smile on her face," And some of those other things we do are pretty fun as well," she had one brow cocked looking at him. They stopped holding each other, she ran away from him and he chased her around the room.


"Pete?" She called after waking up still in all of her clothes. She looked all around the hotel room he wasnt there. She grabbed her room key and walked down the hallway to his room and knocked on the door. No answer. Knock again, no answer. She walked to Joes room he answered the door quickly.

"Hey Holly!" he said, his voice was happy.

"You talk to her or something?" she asked, raising a brow, he nodded quickly beginning to tell her about the entire conversation. Before he could she cut him off, "Have you seen Pete?" Joe shook his head.

"Not since last night," he said. Holly sighed and walked out of the room, to the elevator. Her red skinny jeans lead the way for her, she walked out of the hotel room to the bus, he wasnt there either. No answer on the cell phone either.

[-->PEYTON&&GABBY<--]

CHAPTAH FOUR BIZZATCH!!!!!

"Yo, Pete it's Joe just gimmie a call back soon." Holly sat in Joe'r room, not knowing wheather or not to be worried. Joe put his phone in his back pocket, looking at Holly who was sitting on the couch. Pete was probably fine, but the fact that he was gone when she woke up and that no one knew where he was worried her. It would worry anyone. Joe sighed, ruffling his hair,

"So, when you woke up he was just gone?" He asked her trying to get a better grasp of the things that were going on. Holly just nodded.

"Well, he'll definately be back before we go to Boston," Joe said, "I mean, Pete wouldn't disappear like that." He sat down next to her, it was obvious she was worried. Why would he just disappear without telling anyone? Holly kept looking down at her phone, no new messages. She shut her eyes and leaned her head back, taking a few deep breaths. Upon hearing a knock at the door her eyes flew open. She darted towards toe door and opened it to find the sweet, young Hayley Williams. Holly's shoulders sank upon seeing her. Usually she was happy to see the other female, but she just retreated to Joe's matress, laying down. It was still made, as if no one had touched it since the maids last tucked the sheets so far under the matress you couldn't move in them. Many thoughts ran through Holly's mind, it was probably silly of her to be worrying like this. Pete was a big boy, he could handle himself. She sighed, Hayley walked into the room. Joe just offered her a weak smile, Hayley didn't catch it, she walked over next to Holly,

"What's going on?" Hayley asked looking from Holly to Joe. Holly just sighed.

"No one knows where Pete is, he kind of just took off," said Joe.

Hayley, who loved staying close to reality sat down next to Holly, rubing her back,
"Why are you so worried? I mean he's probably just off doing business or something, he'll be back before we leave for Boston."

Joe looked at Holly,
"She has a good point, I mean it's the Fuled By Ramen and Decaydance tour and he does own Decaydance"

Holly sat up,
"You have a valid point," she said "but why would he have stuff to do in Providence?" she asked, her voice filled with skepticism. The shrill sound of Joe's ringtone filled the room.

"Pete! Yeah... Oh, really? I... Well Yeah" Joe looked at Holly for a split second, his eyes immediatley darted back to the floor, he walked out into the hallway qickly leaving the girls behind; both wide eyed and confused. A few minutes later, Joe walked back into the room, cell-phone away and ruffling his hair. Holly stared him down expecting an answer. Joe looked at her, this continued for five minuted, until Joe gave a sigh. All he had to do was mutter one short word, a name and everyone would understand everything. The name was notorious for the people on this tour. Everyone had heard the stories and seen what had happened because of this person.

"Jeanae..."

Jeanae White. She waas beautiful, sweet, talented, had a great snese of humor. She was Pete's ex, and that's where he was. With her. Holly felt her insides collapse; the day after Pete told everyone about everyhing between the two, and now everything was over. Just like that. He didn't even say anything to her about it.

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


That tourbus ride was the hardest thing for Holly to endure, she couldn't stand to look at the two. She didn't want to watch Jeanae play "look at me I can put my hands all over Pete and he's all mine"

"C'mon Holly, we're leaving" she heard Andy say in the parking lot.

"Uhm..." she thought fast, looking around, grabbing the closest person to her. "I'm going with them."

"Uhm... Hi... Holly" she heard from William. She turned, mouthing the words 'You mind?' to him. He shook his head, "allways a pleasure." She hopped onto the bus with them, telling them all that she knew. There was an awkward silence. She felt Sisky's arm go around her.

"You gonna be ok?" he asked her. She shrugged then nodded.

"It's not like I didn't see this coming... I mean I sort of half expected for me just to be his girl to go to when he was feeling horny." Holly said qite seriously, There was a brief snickering in the room that quickly ceased. Holly put her head on Sisky's shoulder out of reflex.

Boston, usually her favorite city had a dark air overhead.

"Mkay, you're all set," she said to Pete as she straightened the last strand of hair and blew some spray on it..

"Holly?"

"That's my name"

"I had no idea this would happen"

"Forget about it Pete,"

"Holly-" Holly just walked away, she went to her bag and got out her phone pretending to text someone. When he left she collapsed on the couch.

"Hey" she heard coming from the doorway. Hayley walked in, bottle of water in hand. She must have just gotten off stage. Holly looked up, not responding. She walked over over and sat next to her, Holly sat up and put her head on the girl's shoulder.

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

"Two minuted guys!" the stage manager called. Holly worked her magic, touchng up eyeliner, and hair. The boys ran back out, nothing was said, everything was saved for the stage. Holly watched them play, her eyes on Pete for the majority of the show.

"I missed him so much," the familliar voice came from Jeanae.

"Oh... Yeah," Holly said simply.

"So how've you been Holly?" she asked. Holly thought about this. Other than the fact that yesterday she had a great boyfriend and was completley happy and the next day it was all pulled out from under her.

"I've been pretty great, you?" she asked, narrowing her eyes on Jeanae.

"Things have been great, really picking up." Holly just walked back to her stuff packing it up. She looked over to the boys from The Academy Is... watching. She looked back down, grabbing her stuff and walking down to the dressing rooms.

"Jesus Holly"

"I had no idea you had it in you."

"You're my new hero,"

Holly just laughed, now drunk she was beginning to feel better. Parking lots are always the most fun to get drunk in, especially with about ten outrageous bands. Holly knocked back another shot of vodka and dropped the shot glass. People laughed, someone handed her the bottle of Smirnoff twist. Holly laughed.

"Yay for girly drinks!" she called out. Sisky had his arm around her shoulder. Hayley and the Farro boys sat with them. "Hayley, my love come here" she obeyed, both girls laughed as Holly put her arms around Sisky and the other girl.

"Hollys a piiiiiiimp" Zac called, people laughed. Patrick and Andy, the hardcore straightedge kids sat there with their water bottles, laughing. The air was awkward, between the boys of Fall Out Boy and everyone else. Holly had managed to forget about it with the assistance of her friend Jack Daniels and varities of vodka. Pete and Jeanae walked over.

"Holly I haven't seen you like this in so-" Pete started, Holly cut him off.

"JOE! Cigarette! Now!" she leaned in his direction and fell over, setting off a chorus of raucous laughter. Sisky pulled her up.

"Awh, Adam thankyou" he just smiled slightly. The entire group had crowded into the one area. No one missed what happened next.

Slowly Holly looked at Pete, remembering everything. She looked at Adam again.

"You know Adam, you're a very sexy boy," there was some small laughter. "No I mean it, everyone look at him and tell him he's sexy." Hayley nodded. "It's so great for me and Hayley surrounded by gorgeous boys all the time, you know?" she laughed. "I mean, ther ehave been flings" everyne went quiet, Pete's eyes widened, "but they meaned nothing, they were just lies," now she was going off "but screw that, screw feeling bad about that, just have a good time... That's what it's all about... Right Pete?" her eyes narrowed on him. "Oh well, I should just stop talking."

"You're awesome when you're drunk!" Adam said.

"Well thankyou again Sisky," she said, "You're just awesome and I-" he kissed her. She kissed back. There was a wave of 'Ooh's' and 'Woah!' and more. The alcohol had consumed the two. Pete stood there, grabbing Jeanae's hand and walking away with her. Holly continued to kiss the boy, no idea what she was doing.

[-->PEYTON&&GABBY<--]

005. Ya little jerks

This wasn’t the place she had fallen asleep, or at least not the place Holly remembered. She also didn’t remember four people in the room when she had fallen asleep; all she remembered was the look on Pete’s face when she pulled away from a kiss. The faces around her were familiar, Joe, Sisky, Hayley and Zac. They were all sitting on the couch, talking softly. Holly sat up. Ruffling her platinum hair.

“Hey!” they all shouted at once, the sudden loud noise sent a shooting pain to Holly’s head as a result of too much alcohol and too little sleep. She clenched her eyes shut and buried her face in her pillow. Joe laughed and walked into the bathroom, proud of the fact that for once he was nursing her hangover.

“Why are you here?” she asked them all. There was another feint laughter from the group. Holly looked up, eyeing them all, “What was there like a gangbang or something? My clothes are still on so that’s a good sign…”

“Holly what do you remember from last night?” asked Joe, walking back into the room handing her a small white pill and a glass of water. Holly gladly accepted the pill swallowing it down.

“Yeah, I remember Sisky Business tongued me” she said.

“Hey I’m glad I did it” he said, people continued their laughing “I mean, I love Pete, dearly, but the look on his face was better than when Bill told him he didn’t have as much to expose as he did… Except that was completely different”

“Why did you do it?” asked Hayley, a mischievous smile on her face. Sisky eyes her, everyone in the room eyed her back.

“Why did Pete do what he did to her?” he answered back. Everyone seemed to understand that he did it to help Holly in her unspoken thirst for payback “and Holly pretty much summed it up when she said ‘then never meaned anything’ there was another laugh at Holly’s word choice while under the influence. She lay her head back down on the hotel pillow, shutting her eyes. They were going to Europe tonight, Holly always loved going to Europe, though she only got to see little parts of it, it was still a nice place to be able to go to.

“So, Holly,” Joe’s eyes narrowed on the girl. She felt like she was in the same place se she was two days ago, except this time they weren’t discussing the mystery as to why her room smelled like Axe. “Are you feelin’ up to Europe? I mean we can just get you a plane back to Chicago,” Joe offered. Holly shut her eyes tighter, wishing she could wake up in New York again. Before things were still weird but not as much as they were now.

“Why wouldn’t I be up to it?” she snapped, “Why would I want that whole little thing to break me Joe? Why would I want to show him that he drove me away from everyone?” She stared Joe down from her pillow. Her head felt like a bag of sand, her eyelids felt heavier. “Trohman, what pill did you give me?” She wasn’t feeling any pain at the moment, but more warped than anything else. She started to giggle.

Joe stared at her, “Uh… It was in a little plastic baggy thing in your bag,”

“You didn’t get it out of a bottle?”

Joe paused, “Uh… No? They looked like the ones you give me”

Holly continued to giggle; she sat up and looked at Hayley and Zac sitting on the couch wide-eyed. “Trohman I think you gave me vicadent”

“That’s impossible I-“

“The only thing I have in a little plastic baggy is vicadent and I only use that for things like- my hair is so light!” Her eyes were huge staring at the strand of hair she had been twirling around her finger. There was a chorus of laughter and ‘Joe you’re so fucking retarded!’ coming from someone in the corner. A knock at the door came, Holly didn’t bother to notice it she was too enthralled with the embroidery on her duvet cover, Zac and Hayley enthralled with her. Joe went to answer the door, it seemed Sisky was the only one to hear the ‘C’mon man,’ ‘No I mean it she’s really out of it’. He was also the only one to see Pete push past Joe and walk into the room. Holly looked up for a split second, then back down to her duvet, not really noticing who had just walked in. Hayley and Zac had ceased, standing aside for what was sure to turn into a really awkward moment.

“You guys I-“ Pete tried to get a word in,

“PETE LOOK ITS SHINY THREAD!” People couldn’t help but stifle a tiny laugh, Holly looked up “Why is there such filth in my room? Ewie, take it out”

“What is she on?”

“Vicadent” the entire room said at once. Pete paused to glare at all of them

“Who the fuck gave her vicadent?” Hayley and Zac looked at Joe, who seemed to sink into the wall.

Pete pointed at the door, “Get out, all of you I need to talk to her”

“She’s not gonna understand you dude,” interjected Sisky.

“Just get the fuck out man,” Sisky followed Pete’s finger as well as the rest of the group. Holly was out of it, but she knew what was going on.

“Whaddyawant?!” her words were all slurred together, it was amazing how fast the substance had been able to set itself into her system.

“Holly,” he sat down on her bed, cutting her off before she was able to slur at him again “You know how I feel about Jeanae, you know I-“

“Oh come on you still know what you did was wrong”

“What did I do?”

Holly looked at him as if he had sprouted another head, “What did you do? Let me think what did Peter Wentz do? Hmmmm… Well, the day after he told everyone that we were together he abandoned me for the girl he had said he had gotten over a long time ago and”

“You never get over someone you love Holly, you should know that of all people,”

Holly paused, “If you ever, EVER, even so much as think about bringing that up I ever again I will put you back into that depression that I helped you get out of and this time no ones gonna find you when you’re about to die Pete.”

“Well you still know what its like, Holly”

“Yeah but I’d never”

“Yes you would… If he came back, you would. When you saw him in Philly-“

“You fucking douche!” Holly could feel the tears pouring out of her eyes, “get the fuck out.”

“Well guess what… He’s gonna be there in England when we get there.”

Holly froze, her eyes wide, almost horrified. “What?” was all she could muster, just over a squeak. Pete nodded,

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before but they just signed the Europe bill” he looked at her, he could tell he had struck something in her. “You’re still on good terms with him, right?” Holly just nodded.

“But I’m not gonna take him back the second I see him,”

“But you would”

“No I wouldn’t”

“What the fuck ever, just get dressed we’re going to the airport soon.”

“The flights at nine”

“Yeah and its seven” Holly did the math in her head, she remembered falling asleep on Hayley around six am, waking up not that long ago she figured somewhere around twelve, maybe even thirteen hours of sleep. More than she had ever gotten. She watched Pete like she had done so many times, reaching for her hoodie on the ground and pulling it on.



Waking up on a plane with the meal cart to the back of her head was never fun.

“Pardon me, I’m so terribly sorry miss,” Holly just rolled her eyes to the stewardess’s apology, pulling the beanie on her head over her eyes. The roar of the jet engine kept her awake, as did everyone around her talking and the screaming baby behind her kicking her chair. Greta and Hayley in the next seats over trying to amuse her. Apparently they had known about The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus joining the bill when This Providence had to back out. They were doing their best to keep their friend’s mind off of the inevitable.

“Thank You for flying British Airways, we trust you had a lovely flight” came the stuff English voice over the PA system; just making Holly’s head hurt more. As the entire group, which seemed to take up half or more of the jumbo jet got off the plane and went through customs, Holly braced herself for the awkward. Baggage claim, people went around hugging and welcoming the new boys to the tour.

“Hey Duke,” said Holly with a smile. He hadn’t changed, she gave him a loose hug and backed away quickly, knowing that in some way people’s eyes were on the two. Europe would be… Fun
