VIV'S P.O.V.

I frown at the phone resting in my hand, then frown at the head resting on my shoulder.
Ashley chuckles to himself after disconnecting my call hanging up on my girlfriend.

I don't think I can deal with fragmented phone calls with Viv while my new band members go absolutely nuts in the background
Yet I feel as though it would be obnoxiously imposing of me if I told the four of them to shut the hell up while I was talking to my girlfriend.

Feeling rather conflicted, Ashley looks at me sympathetically.

"I know it can be tough leaving your girl, or...girls in my case-"
He looks sheepishly at the other band members as they roll their eyes.
"-whilst on tour and while recording. But whilst we're together, bro's before hoes, 'Kay?"

I furrow my brow at that last remark. I seriously oppose Ash calling Viv a "hoe", but I understand he was just trying to get his point across.

Casting my glance over the other band members, I see all of them nodding, Except for Andy, positively fuming that Ashley called his sister a hoe.

"You know what?" I say putting my phone of the table next to me "you're right! Bro's before -" Andy looks at me warningly, daring me to continue "uhhhh, girlfriends" I finish.

"That's the spirit!" Ash says clapping me on the back. Jinxx chucks me a beer from the little fridge crammed in the corner.
"Drink up, this is your first night as one of us!" He says, his eyes sparkling

Taking a mighty swig, and sigh at how darn good it tastes.

"Woah party animal, we still got all night" Andy chuckles, beer in hand

I take another gulp.

"And?" I ask

"That's the spirit!" Ashley squeals.

"LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD BOYS!" Jake yells

Everyone whoops with joy and we clink (well, more like smash) our glasses together and toast the beginning of something big.
