Thud!! Nineteen year old Solaris Evans woke with a start… she had fallen out of bed, and not for the first time. No, this seemed to be becoming a regular thing for her and it was getting somewhat annoying. Thankfully no one ever seemed to hear anything and she wasn’t about to tell everyone that she kept falling out of bed, not that stupid. Sighing, she stood up and threw her covers that had fallen down with her, back onto the bed and proceeded to get herself ready for the day… a nice hot shower was first on the list. Knock Knock!! “Sol are you awake?” Ah the voice of her best friend and band mate Marcella Roux, just what she wanted to hear. “Yes Marcy I’m awake.” “Good hurry up and get dressed if you’re not already, manager is here, wants us downstairs like now! It’s important!” Well there went the shower plan out the window... “Fine I’ll be down in 10 minutes!” Solaris grabbed a pair of black leggings, her favourite band shirt and her Vans and got dressed as quickly as she could and started on her eyeliner. Once she’d finished, checked she looked ok and given her short, bright orange hair a brush, she made her way down to the kitchen of the house she shared with her three band mates. Said band mates were stood there along with their manager, David, who face looked relieved when she walked into the room. “Solaris at last I was beginning to think you’d fallen down the toilet or something.” Solaris raised an eyebrow, “Right…? Now what’s so important that I had to miss out on a nice hot shower?” “Ah right that yes well you’re going on tour!” Loretta Black, one of Solaris’s band mates spat out the orange juice she’d just taken a gulp of, it narrowly missing David. “We’re what?!” David nodded, “Yep you’re opening for another band… so I want you packed and ready to go within the next half an hour preferably.” “Half an hour?! How can you possibly expect me to be packed and ready in half and hour?!” Loretta’s younger sister, Christina Black, always a drama queen. “If you’d moved and gone and started instead of deciding to complain Christina you’d be ready a whole lot sooner!” “Who are we touring with?” Marcella asked curiously, “Someone decent I hope!” David smiled, “Aha! That my dear girls is a surprise and you will have to wait to find out! Now hurry up you have 25 minutes left before we’re supposed to leave!” At those words the four girls rushed upstairs to their rooms and began to pack as fast as they could. “Has anyone seen my purple drumsticks?” “Where’s my white hoodie?” “How long are we going to be on tour for?” “Roughly about a year!” All four girls poked their heads out of their rooms at exactly the same time, “A year?!” “Yes a year you’re touring America and then Europe! 10 minutes girls come on!!” “Europe!!” squeals came from both the Black sisters’ rooms, “Does that mean I’ll get to finally see France?” came Christina’s voice, “and Sol you may finally get to see England!” Solaris smiled at that thought, she’d always wanted to visit England ever since she was a little girl. “7 minutes are you nearly done?!” “I can’t find my phone charger,” Loretta whined, “I’m screwed without that!” “I’ve got it silly sister you lent it to me because I broke mine!” “5 minutes girls!!” “I’m done!!” “I’m not!!” “Well hurry up!!” Solaris continued franticly throwing her clothes and shoes into her suitcase as well as putting toiletries, make up, accessories and hair stuff into a rucksack. “Anyone taking their laptops with them?!” “Yes!” Marcella, Loretta and Christina answered in sync making Solaris laugh, “Guess I’ll bring mine then…” “Girls we need to go!!” “One more minute please!!” Christina was begging, “I don’t know if I’ve got everything!!” Solaris put on her leather jacket, slung her rucksack over her shoulder, slipped her phone, iPod, headphones and keys into the pockets of her jacket, grabbed the bag containing her laptop and her suitcase and made her way downstairs where David was impatiently waiting along with Marcella. “Loretta, Christina, come on!!” “Done!! Can someone come and help me with my stuff?!” Solaris shook her head and giggled as Marcella ran up to help Loretta. “Okay I think I’m ready!” Christina yelled, “Can I have some help too?” “We’ve got our own stuff to carry too Chrissie” Solaris yelled up the stairs, “Can you really not manage?” “No!! I have three suitcases and my laptop bag here!! Please!!” Solaris ran up the stairs to Christina’s room, “What on Earth do you need three suitcases for?” “I have a lot of stuff!” Solaris sighed and grabbed two of Christina’s suitcases and dragged them down the stairs, Marcella right behind her with one of Loretta’s. “Are we finally ready?” said David once the four girls and their luggage were all crammed into the kitchen. Solaris looked at the other girls and they all nodded. “That’s a yes!” “Good then out we go!! Solaris don’t forget to lock up!!” The quartet plus their manager made their way out of the house and round the back to where a huge bus was waiting for them. David, Christina, Loretta and Marcella began to load the luggage onto the bus while Solaris went round the house, double checking everything was switched off and then locking it up once satisfied. About 10 minutes later they were all on the bus and heading for Los Angeles where they were going to meet the other band. Solaris had just started to nod off when Marcella poked her awake again, “We’re here!” “Already?” Solaris yawned, “That was quick.” “Come on girls,” David ushered them off the bus “You don’t want to keep the other band waiting do you?” Not being properly awake, Solaris nearly fell. David led them into the lobby of the hotel they’d pulled up outside of and was immediately greeted by another man. “David, so good to see you again!” “Jon my good friend!!” The two men hugged, Christina giggled. “Girls allow me to introduce my good friend Jon… Jon these are my girls, Christina, Loretta, Marcella and Solaris.” Jon shook hands with each girl, “A pleasure to meet you all… my boys should be down any minute now.” “Oh,” Loretta smiled, “We’re touring with boys?” Before Jon or anyone could say anything else, the nearby elevator dinged and out stepped five guys wearing a lot of make up and dressed from head to toe in leather, five guys that Solaris would recognise anywhere. “Oh my god we’re touring with Black Veil Brides!!!”
