“How are you guys not as famous as we are by now?!” CC asks back at our house.
“Yeah, I mean if I heard a band that is as amazing as you guys I would listen to it. Especially if it had a sexy shredding guitarist.” Ashley winks at me as he is sitting in my normal spot.

I roll my eyes and take a seat on a bar stool instead. “Have any of you even been on a tour like thing?” Jinxx asked.

All of us shake our heads. “We've played at local battle of the bands things but never a huge tour with a bunch of people.” Jason says.

“I tried to get us in the opening act to Bring Me The Horizon when they came by here a few months ago but they dropped us last minute.” Darin says.

“Awwwww, well we are here to the rescue! Not only are you just opening for us for one night but for the whole shebang!” CC exclaims.

“This is gonna be so epic!” Darin says handing CC a monster that he had asked for when he came in.

“Do you really need that?” Jason asks not knowing what CC was like.

CC looks almost hurt and holds the can of monster to his chest. “Yes!” He runs his hand down the can. “Shh, you didn't hear that.” He whispers to it.

“I'm guessing you don't really know us?” Jake leans over to Jason.

“I know that you're big and every loves you but no, I don't” Jason confesses.

Jake smiles, “well you're in for a fun ride my friend.” He pats Jason on the back and asks if we have any beer.

“Dude, they're like 19...” Jinxx says.

“So, that doesn't mean anything.” Ashley says.

I sigh, “yes, we do.”

I open a cupboard to expose our stash of over 20 different types of wine and alcohol. Ashley drops his mouth and rushes over to the collection along with Andy. Ashley looks to me with approval on his face as he pulls out a bottle of whiskey.

“How old are you guys?” CC asks plopping on the couch with monster in hand. “Lilly and I are 18 and the guys are 19, Ben just had his birthday last week.” I say.

“Well, happy belated birthday man! Here's to you!” Jake wraps an arm around Ben's shoulder and hands him a beer that they drink down to in unison. “Only that much closer to drinking this stuff legally.”

The rest of the afternoon was searching for food in the pantry and Ashley drinking way too much. We all finally go out for food and Andy chooses a small cafe on the outside of the city. The lady at the cafe gives us two tables we put together and gives us the drinks we ordered. I had gotten a seat right in between Ben and Andy, great! Ashley was still sober enough to flirt successfully with the waitress and get her number along with a kiss mark on the napkin before the drinks had even arrived.

“So this is living like a rock star?” Darin asks.

“Pretty much, I mean it's pretty cool if a fan sees you but other than that it's not much different besides all the shows and music and thousands of followers on any social network you have.” Andy says.

“Sounds like...” Jason is cut off by a screaming girl.

“Oh my god! You're Black Veil Brides!” She squeals running up to Andy.

“That we are, would you like an autograph?” Andy asks with a huge smile.

“No! I want a whole fucking!” My god.

“Um...we can't do that.” Jinxx tries to say.

“Too bad,” she bends down and leans in close to Andy who backs away slowly trying not to touch her. “I am amazing in bed.” She smirks and walks off with a sway in her hips.

“That was cool?” I ask.

Andy looks at the table and wipes a small amount of spit from his cheek. “Not that one.”

“Those are the ones who are great for when you just want sex and don't want to work or pay for it.” Ashley says.

“You're disgusting,” Lilly smirks.

“I try honey,” Ashley smirks back.

Our food finally arrives and we all dig in. Most of what the cafe offered was a variety of sandwiches and subs so most of us had some form of meat between two pieces of bread. None of us do any talking while we eat our food. Apparently all of us were super hungry. My band boys finish their food first and start their tradition of mixing all of the drinks and sauces together and daring someone to drink it. Jake and CC join in once they have finished and now they are handing out money for whoever will drink it. Andy takes the dare and their money. He grabs the cup filled with who knows what.

“Don't do it,” I try to beg.

“Free money...kind of.” He shrugs and downs half the glass.

He scrunches up his nose immediately. He slams the glass down on the table and tries hard to swallow it. Everyone is cheering him on to drink the rest of it but he barley got half of it down without puking. I must have said that too soon. He runs to the bathroom.

“I think that was the best I've ever made it!” Darin says leaning on the back of his chair and crossing his arms looking at the bathroom door.

“High five dude! I've been trying to do that to him for years!” Jake says to Darin.

“What drink it or puke?” I ask.

“Both,” he responds.

Andy comes back moments later. “I told you not to.” I say.

“Saying it was vile is an understatement.” He says taking a drink of his water.

Everyone laughs and we make Ashley pay for the bill since he was the one holding us up when we just wanted our check. He had other ideas and decides to flirt with three other waitresses for another 20 minutes.

“So, I think we should take a drive to San Diego on Wednesday so you guys can see the stage?” Andy asks.

“Yeah! Will we be able to play a little on it?” Ben asks.

“Yeah, if it's available.” Jinxx says.

I look at my phone while they were talking over road trip plans and see that it is past nine. Had we really eaten lunch that long? I didn't care about the time really, I could stay up all night if I wanted to but I had a phone date with my parents tonight at 9:30 and I didn't want to miss it.

“Hey, we should get going,” I say making everyone whine like they were five.

“But, Vic,” Darin whines wrapping his arms around Jake, “I wanna play more.”

“I have a plans.” I say.

They all humph and get into the car, most of the BVB boys get into their car too. Andy stays out and hugs me. He smells of a mix between nicotine and colon, which you wouldn't think would be too enticing but did it get my blood flowing.

“Text me tomorrow?” He asks releasing the hug.

I nod and tell him good night. I climb in the back seat of our car and Ben drives home. I look out the window seeing some stars peek out behind the smog filled air. Maybe Ben was right, maybe I did like Andy? I couldn't let that interfere with tour buddies. That's what we were strictly going to be. Nothing more, anything more than that would be drama between two bands that were going to be traveling the US together.

We get home and I call my parents. “Hi mom,” I say when she answers.

“Hi baby, hows the rock life?”

“Good, we actually got a tour with a band I really like.” I continue to tell her about the event of the past few days leaving out any drinking and the sex with Ben.

“Well sweetie if you want my advice,” advice for what? “Kiss the man! Who cares if you two are going to be on tour with each other?” Was she talking about Andy?

“Wait mom, what are you talking about?” I finally ask.

“The front man to this band you're going on tour with. You've talked about him differently than any of the other guys so he must be special, no?”

“Well I guess, but he's...”

“No! Kiss the man!” And with that she hangs up.

“Love you too mom!” I yell into the disconnected line.

I plug my phone into its charger and change into my pjs. I jog downstairs to see the lights off and no one in the living room or kitchen. I grab a glass of water and go back up the stairs to see that the lights to both rooms were on. I go into my room, close the door, and plop into bed. I snuggle up against my body pillow and stare at my alarm clock that was being half way covered with a bra. I flick the bra off and roll onto my back. I stare at my band posters on the ceiling remembering that on one of the posters the man in the middle of a group was Andy. I sigh and roll over onto my other side. Mothers knew most things, but she didn't know this. This was not your normal, she like him, he likes her, so they have to go out. This was a whole different world.
