Andy POV

“Where the fuck is my hair dryer?!” Ashley yells running through the kitchen with just a towel wrapped around his waist.

“It’s where you left it last time.” Jinxx said sitting on the couch playing Black Ops with Jake.

“If it was there do you think I would be asking?” Ashley said then his eyes widened and he ran back into the hall way. “Got it!” He yelled.

I chuckled and tool a glass out of the cupboard and filled it with water. I set it down on the counter and joined Jake and Jinxx on the couch. I leaned into the couch and pulled out my phone. Three new messages from Jon. Stuff like ‘you sure you got everything for the show’ and ‘make sure to remember to shower this time,’ and the same old first day tour worries. I replied with the normal ‘yes, I even have my pinja toy in my suit case.’

Jon didn’t reply which meant that he was already done with me for this tour. I put my phone back in my pocket and watch Jinxx die horribly when Jake finally found him.

“I’m done with this game.” Jinxx said calmly getting off the couch and walking into the back of the house.

“Pussy!” Jake yelled taking Jinxx’s controller. He glanced at me and smiled handing me the controller.

We eyed each other for a few seconds before I gave in and joined Jake’s stupid game. “What the fuck?” I mutter when I don’t even live for a minute before Jake’s killed me.

“You have to be better than that, Andy.” Jake said so into it.

After about the fifth time dying I gave up and walked to the back of the house to find CC in just his boxers chanting something about small drum sticks. I squeeze by him and walk into my room.

“Three hours till show time.” I muttered when I saw the time on my clock. “Where the hell is our bus?”

“Late, apparently there’s traffic.” Ashley said passing by my room.

Concert days were always hectic. After three albums you would think we would be used to this by now. But nope. I grabbed my phone charger as Jake ran into the back of the house yelling that the bus was here. We walk out to the front of the house to see all of our team there rushing things into the bus.

It was just a concert in LA. And we had three more days until another concert in Vegas so none of us were worried about getting a bunk today. Just get the fuck to the venue before VIP time is up. I jump onto the bus and flop onto the couch. Ashley soon joins me with his phone in hand. Next it CC with a Monster in hand. He sits on the chair beside the sink.

“Dude, plan on picking up any chicks?” CC asks Ashley before taking a gulp of the unneeded energy drink.

“Nope.” Ashley said keeping his nose in his phone.

“You got girls already?” I asked looking over his shoulder to see what he was doing on his phone.

Ashley pulled his phone toward him. “As a matter of fact I do. Thank you!” He said then turned his back to the arm rest on the chair and pulled his feet onto the couch.

Jake got on the bus next and picked up Ashley’s legs and sat where they used to be and put his legs on his lap. Ashley didn’t seem to mind and kept them there. Jinxx got on and sat in the only available spot. The chair next to CC. He pulled put his phone and started to tap madly on the screen. Probably some girl? Everyone except for CC and Jake was single. Juliet and I had just broken up and Jinxx had just gotten a divorce with Sammi Doll. It was a great love life we all had.

“Ready?” Jon asked after everyone had gotten on the bus.

“You know it!” CC yelled drumming on his knees with his hands.

Jon walked to the front of the bus and sat down beside Eric, the driver, and the bus started. It was normal bus talk on the way to the venue. Stuff about random things really. I guess nothing we said was normal. It was normal to us. Except Jinxx, poor guy just had to deal with all of us. We finally got to the venue and our roadies make quick work of getting all of our stuff into the back stage of the venue while Jon rushed us to the meet and greet area.

“I call first seat!” CC yelled running to the seat he wanted.

Everyone else took the seat they wanted. I started playing with the sharpies and was drumming on Ashley’s head. When CC stole them from me and used four sharpies to annoy the shit out of Ashley. Jinxx was still on his phone and Jake was tapping his feet making the floor move.

I heard voices growing louder and took a sharpie from CC when I saw the VIP’s walking toward the table. Their faces lit up like, well like they were meeting their favorite band member. Some of the fans I recognized and gave hugs to. I signed everything that they wanted me to sign. Give hugs to those who wanted it. And sneaked photos with the rebels. We all laughed and didn’t get nearly enough time with everyone. When the last fans had finally left we walked to back stage and met all the bands that we were playing with.

I always loved meeting bands that were so excited to play with big bands. Even if they weren’t too fond of us. All of the bands we were playing with were happy to just get to play for fans. That was our favorite part. The playing for the fans. The first band went up and did their set and so on. When it was our turn to play the roadies quickly got the guitars tuned and set up the microphones along with the drum set. Exordium began playing and the venue filled with screams. I smiled and watched as CC ran up on stage with drum sticks in hand. The crowd screamed and then Ashley went up, followed by more screams. Then Jake and Jinxx with more screams to follow. I finally ran up when I Am Bulletproof started playing and it seemed that the whole venue was screaming. The fans were all singing along and jumping. I smiled as I looked over the crowd and sang with them. The song ended and I said hello and then continued with our next song.

When I crouched down to hold my hands out to the crowd I spotted a blond in the crowd. She seemed memorized. She was smiling and she seemed to have a glow around her. Although it was probably just the lighting. She wasn’t singing along or moving much. Just listening. I smiled at her and stood back up and continued my thing. Every once in a while I would glace to her to see that she was still just watching and listening with a smile on her face.

When Fallen Angel’s started to play her face changed. It seemed to go to amusement. I gave her a curious glance then it went back to pure happiness. I looked away again and sang my heart out. The show finally ended with In The End and we ran off thanking the fans for an awesome night. They screamed for one more song but we didn’t have any left. They eventually stopped and the bands before us told us that we did a good job. After about an hour of beer in backstage I decided to go out to the venue. Something I didn’t really do but why not if it means I get to meet more fans?

I walked out onto the stage. I saw a blond still standing, staring at the stage. I walked further onto the stage and jumped off. She seemed startled at first then smiled.

“I liked the show.” She said.

“Thanks.” I chuckled.

“I honestly don’t know your band. I got tickets from a friend. But I think you have a new fan.” She said walking closer to me.

“Oh yeah? Well, I’m Andy.” I held out my hand and she took it.

“Sydney,” she responded.

“Have you ever been to a concert before?” I asked.

She shook her head. “This was my first.”

“Well you had a good first then.” I laughed. She laughed with me and nodded. She looked around and seemed almost lost. God, she was beautiful. I rubbed the back of my neck. “Uhm, are you doing anything tonight?”

She took some time to think then shook her head. “No, why?” She had such a sweet soothing voice.

“Well me and my band were going to a club if you wanted to come?” I asked still rubbing the back of my neck.

She smiled, “yeah. I’d like that.”
