Unsung Heroes

BANG! BANG! BANG!
We were startled awake by a sudden pounding on the door, making Ash grab both me tightly and the edge of the bunk tightly so that he wouldn’t accidentally fall out.
“Guys! Are you fucking done in there?! Juliet and I would very much like to sleep in our own bunks tonight, thank you!” Andy practically shouted through the door.
Laughing weakly, Ash and I slid out of the bunks and I pulled on my panties and then when Ash opened his suitcase I reached over him and grabbed one of his shirts and pulled in on before he could say anything.
“Hey, what’re you…” he trailed off and then proceeded to stare at me in just his underwear with wide eyes like he’d just seen the sun for the first time. I felt myself become self-conscious under his gaze and blushed and looked down.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked quietly.
Suddenly he was up in my face and he pulled my face back up gently by tucking a finger under my chin and he kissed me deeply, and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. He pulled me in by my waist and pulled away to whisper:
“Because you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, and the fact that I’ve avoided relationships for as long as I have I am suddenly grateful for because if I hadn’t waited as long as I did, I may have not met you and you wouldn’t be standing on my tour bus with my band looking fucking sexy in my shirt.”
I felt my face grow hot and I ducked my head as I reached down to pull my pants back up, buttoning them closed as Ash threw on a Slayers shirt and jeans and moved all of our old clothes away as I unlocked the door to let Juliet and Andy in, both of them looking exhausted and somewhat annoyed mixed with amusement.
Juliet smirked at me and Andy hopped up into his bunk, before looking around suspiciously.
“Any areas need to be sanitized before we do anything else?” he asked cautiously.
I laughed out loud and Ash scoffed behind me quietly. Juliet laughed and turned to playfully hit his leg and then climb into her bunk underneath Andy’s.
“Andy, that’s absurd,” I said laughing. “But I wouldn’t sit there if I were you.”
Andy, who was taking his shoes off, looked down with big eyes suddenly at his bunk and then leapt off with a sharp noise of disgust, and then he quickly toed off his shoes and then climbed into Juliet’s bunk, who was clearly not expecting him to do so.
“Babe, what are you doing?” She said in surprise as Andy climbed over her and then settled behind her, burying his face into the back of her neck as she was turned to us.
“I don’t think they actually had sex on my bunk, but the thought is creeping me out right now, so please don’t question it and let me stay here.” His voice sounded somewhat muffled.
Laughing, I shook my head and moved to Ash to kiss the side of his face and then I went into the main part of the bus to see that CC was fishing through the fridge, Jake was sitting on the far end of the couch, talking quietly into the phone, but with a giant smile on his face, so I knew he was talking to Ella, and Jinxx and Maya were sitting at the table, Maya tucked under his arm and they were talking quietly, both smiling softly and laughing quietly every now and then.
I moved over to the fridge and moved CC gently with my hip so that I could grab a couple of water bottles.
“Hey, Indy,” CC said happily, grabbing a beer and leaning against the table. “So… I didn’t realize you were a screamer.” He winked at me knowingly.
I felt my face burn with embarrassment as blood rushed to my cheeks. “Oh my god, you could hear us?” I groaned, covering my face with my hand and feeling how hot my face was.
He laughed loudly and I could hear Jinxx snickering and Maya just gave me a flirty look. Jake walked over, pocketing his phone and laughing quietly.
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing we haven’t heard before,” Jake said reassuringly. “Well, actually, the stuff in Portuguese we haven’t, but other than that…”
I blushed even more, and I felt Jake pull me into his side and ruffle my hair. CC sat down across from Jinxx and Maya, who were still looking at me knowingly.
Maya sat up suddenly. “So, Indy, I was meaning to ask you something,” she said carefully.
I pursed my lips. “Okay, what?”
“Why is it that you weren’t able to have sex with a guy you dated for five years as opposed to Ash, who’ve you’ve been seeing for less than a year?”
I was a bit taken aback at her boldness, and felt my gut tighten slightly but I forced it down by drinking water. No panic attack right now, thank you! I suppose it was a fair question none the less, even though I had absolutely no idea how to answer her. Maya never really had a problem with sex – not that she slept around, more that it never freaked her out, especially in the way that it used to freak me out. I remember one time in particular, it was one of our anniversaries, and Mitch and I had been drinking and I was pretty intoxicated. We were in our apartment, and on our bed. I was underneath him, and we were making out sloppily. But when he started to reach under my shirt to grope at my breast, I felt my chest tighten up suddenly, and I was having trouble breathing. I was having a severe panic attack, and I knew that if Mitch stayed on top of me, I would either hit him or faint. I ended up somehow on my side curled up in a fetal position with Mitch behind me, rubbing my back and telling me to breathe until the attack passed. Then when it did, he rolled over and went to sleep, clearly annoyed with me and angry that he didn’t get any.
I shrugged at Maya’s question. “I don’t know, honestly. I guess on some subconscious level I didn’t trust Mitch like I do Ash. I know Ash wouldn’t hurt me or force me into anything, and while I don’t remember Mitch forcing me into anything, I guess I didn’t trust him enough.”
Maya looked at me interestedly and then cuddled further into Jinxx’s side, and he tightened his arm around her.
“Wait, FIVE YEARS?” CC said incredulously, looking at me disbelievingly.
I shrugged and opened one of the water bottles in my hands, taking a deep swig from it.
“Fuck, how did you survive?” Jinxx said in awe, his eyes wide as Maya cuddled her face into his neck and wrapped her arms around his middle.
I laughed. “Internet porn is amazing.”
CC, who’d chosen that moment to take a swig from his beer, choked and coughed loudly and Jake pounded on his back until he stopped choking.
“You watch porn?” Jake said laughing slightly, pulling away to sit next to CC, who was beet red and breathing deeply. “I thought it was just a guys’ thing.”
I scoffed. “Don’t believe everything you read. Lots of girls watch porn, but very few of us will ever have the balls to admit it. Me? I couldn’t give two shits if anyone knew, honestly. My ex didn’t know I watched it; I always did when he was out and I had my days off.”
Maya looked at me confused. “But didn’t sex use to freak you out? Indy you’ve had panic attacks so severe I thought you were gonna have a seizure. Why you never got any anxiety meds I’ll never know, they’d do you some good.”
I rolled my eyes. “A, internet porn was fine because it didn’t involve me with another person, and instead involved just me and my laptop and my hands. B, sex never really bothered me just the thought of me being the one having it did. And C, I don’t have meds because the last time I had meds, they made me so sluggish and depressed that I literally spent a whole week in bed staring at my ceiling. I don’t use meds because I don’t need to, I can deal with my panic attacks without having to medicate myself.” I came out a bit defensive in the end, but for years, Maya has been trying to get me to get on anxiety meds. I can understand why, but I’d rather deal with my attacks without having to rely on medication and then get addicted to it. And the medication I got from a psychiatrist really did make me slow and depressed, and sometimes I was so depressed I couldn’t even get out of bed.
Maya sighed and rested her head back on Jinxx’s shoulder. Jesus, I have never seen her this relaxed or attached to anyone. If she was close to any guy, she’d just sit on their lap and let them play with her hair, but she wouldn’t really mess with them like that or be nearly as touchy feely, or as… huggy.
I felt a set of arms wrap around my wait and I leaned back into Ash, who’d pulled on a pair of sleep pants and a black tank top. He kissed the top of my head and then rested his chin on top of it.
“What you all talkin’ bout?” He said brightly, pulling me into him. I grabbed the other water bottle I pulled from the fridge and unscrewed the lid before I handed it back to him. He took it gratefully and took gulped down about a third of it.
“Oh, just how Indy survived five years of a relationship by masturbating to internet porn,” CC said casually.
Just like CC, Ash choked on his water so I pulled away so he wouldn’t spit it out onto my head and he bent over to cough a couple of times before looking up at me.
“You what?” he gasped out.
I looked at him in surprise. Why did guys think girls were so against watching porn? Was there some unspoken law that made it impossible for girls to watch porn?
“Why is it so shocking that I’ve watched porn?” I asked no one in particular. “Girls aren’t perfect little innocent things that don’t watch porn or do weird shit. Oh my god we do so many weird things you have no idea.” I laughed. “Don’t ask me what cause it’ll only gross you out but we do.” Maya nodded in agreement, laughing while Jinxx looked at her weird.
Ash looked at me disbelievingly. “So if I found a porno mag it wouldn’t be weird for you?”
I shrugged. “Depends on the type of porno it is.” I took another drink of my water as the rest of the guys there guffawed at my choice of words.
“Type?” Ash questioned.
I nodded. “Yeah like you know like ones that are from a certain fetish or kink or whatever.”
Ash’s eyes grew big and the guys all started to snicker quietly as they watched Ash process what I’d said in his head.
Truth be told I do have kinks. One in particular is beginner bondage. Not the heavy stuff with breath play and knife play and shit but yeah, bondage. I’m a switch, which basically just means I’m both a sub and a dom, depending on who I was with, but obviously my experience with that is very limited. I mainly just like the control and to be controlled, and to be tied and blindfolded and told what to do and telling people what they can’t do. Why don’t I talk about it? It embarrasses me, and usually, when I do, people treat me differently like what I’m into is wrong or something. Why haven’t I told Ash? It embarrasses me. Yeah, he had the right to know, but he hasn’t asked me and I didn’t have any complaints about our sex life because it was good. I may not be a virgin, but my sexual experience didn’t really go beyond porn and really good vanilla sex with Ash. The kinkiest we’ve gotten is doing it on the kitchen floor and I almost hit my head on the oven, so you can imagine how interesting things have gotten between us.
Ash grabbed my hand and our waters and pulls me quickly into the back while everyone else is howling with laughter. He pulls me back by the door of where our bunks are but doesn’t open it, probably because he didn’t want Jules and Andy to hear our conversation, and he basically pushed me into the corner between the door and the wall.
“Fetishes?” he asks me in a low voice. And when I say low, I don’t just mean quiet, I mean low, as in he sounded horny and his voice had gone throaty, but also slightly pissed, like he was mad I didn’t say anything before.
I found myself blushing again and I looked down at my feet, wrapping my arms around my middle and shifting my weight from one leg to the other periodically. I felt my ears get hot and then the back of my neck, and I started to shake.
Uh oh. I could feel my vision start to fade. I was starting to have a panic attack. I feel so cornered right now, and I don’t even know why. Was it because it was such a direct question? I am not one to talk about my sex life when asked, if I feel like I wanna share something about my sex life, I will say so before I am asked depending on how harmless the question was. Usually I just get really uncomfortable but this… maybe it was because it was a touchy subject for me, or something, but I honest to God have no idea why I’m freaking out right now.
“Indy?” I could hear the alarm in Ash’s voice as I started to curl up and lower myself to the ground. I started to feel dizzy and nauseous and my chest felt constricted and it hurt to breathe. It felt like someone had put me in on a teacup ride and then forced me into a rubber tube and told me to breath deeply through a straw. I laid on the floor of the trailer and curled into a ball on my side, struggling for breath and wrapping my arms around myself to protect myself.
“Indy?!” He started to freak out, and I could feel my heart pound even more and my blood was ringing in my ears. I felt the ground move underneath me as multiple feet moved to where I was and I heard the door by my head open. I felt Ash kneel by me somewhere but he kept his distance. My eyes were pressed shut tightly.
“Maya, what’s going on?” Ash sounded so panicked.
I felt Maya kneel next to me. “She’s okay, it’s just a panic attack. Just give her some space and talk to her quietly and calmly and it’ll pass. If you want to get closer you need to tell her so that you don’t make it worse. If you get freaked out she’ll get more freaked out and it’ll get worse. How did it start?”
I felt Ash shift on the ground next to me.
“I asked her about her fetishes and she kinda shut down.”
Maya made a noise of understanding. “Oh, don’t ask her something so personal so directly it makes her feel like she’s trapped. Guess she should have mentioned that before.”
I felt Ash shuffle to me. “Indy?” He said carefully. “I’m gonna put my hand on you, is that okay?”
The only noise I could make was a choked whimper and my chest constricted again and I let out a small noise of pain.
I felt Ash’s hand on my shoulder and I whimpered again, but he pulled me up, still in my fetal position onto his lap and let me rest his face in his neck. He started to massage my back and whisper into my ear.
“Ash, I don’t think –“ Maya started to say, but I heard someone shush her softly.
“Baby, it’s okay. You’re okay. Breathe, baby, I need you to breathe for me.” He started to breathe deeply through his nose and out his mouth and motioned with his hand for me to copy him. It wasn’t easy, I kept starting to hyperventilate.
I felt someone kneel behind me and I heard a low, hoarse voice.
“Indy, it’s Andy. I’m gonna put my hand on your shoulder, okay?” I felt his large hand on my shoulder, and I jumped slightly but didn’t flinch away.
He started to copy Ash and massages circles gently into my back. “Indy, you’re okay, you’re okay,” he said gently. “Nothing’s happening, you’re okay, just breathe Indy.”
“Can we do anything?” I heard Jinxx ask quietly.
“Get her a whiskey; she’s gonna need something strong after this,” I heard Maya say. I heard a couple people laugh at that and I let out a wheezing laugh and felt my chest start to tighten slightly before it started to loosen, and my legs started to uncurl and rest across Ash’s lap.
“The panic attack is starting to pass; she’s okay,” Maya said reassuringly, moving up to give me more air. The band had formed a half circle around me and Juliet was looking at me worriedly from the doorway, and Andy was still behind me, but I couldn’t see Jinxx.
I felt Andy move his hand away and let Ash put his arm around my shoulders and rest one across my lap and take hold of my hand.
I started to breathe in deeply and the nausea started to pass. And then the dizziness passed. Then I just had a headache and my chest ached and I was a little bit shaky.
I looked up at Ash through bleary eyes. He was smiling at me in relief and he tucked my bangs behind my ear.
“Aw baby come here,” he pulled me in and I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and just breathed into his chest trying to catch my breath and stop shaking, which wasn’t easy at all. Anyone who’s ever had a panic attack knows that for while afterwards you’re shaky and are much closer to having another one for a while before you start to feel better. I felt Ash gently pet my hair and run his fingers through it soothingly.
“Here.” I heard Jinxx said and I turned to see him holding a bottle of Jack Daniels and was holding a glass out to me that was half full of amber liquid and a couple of ice cubes. I reached for it and downed the glass in one go, feeling the alcohol burn the back of my throat and numb my nerves slightly so that I stopped shaking a bit and my head stopped hurting so much. I held the glass back up to Jinxx and he refilled it so that I could down it again and the shaking stopped altogether and my head wasn’t hurting anymore, and I could feel my nerves numb a bit more so that even if I did something triggering I wouldn’t have another attack.
Ash rubbed my shoulders. “Are you okay now?” He said gently. I nodded, not ready to talk yet as I knew my voice would be shaky and unstable, even with the booze in my system. I just curled up further into Ash’s lap and closed my eyes.
“Ash, maybe you should just take her to bed she needs to sleep this off.” I think Jake said that but I wasn’t sure.
“Yeah, I think we’re both gonna turn in for right now.”
I felt Ash pick me up bridal style and I wrapped my arms around him and pushed my face into his chest. He carried me into the back and had to maneuver around Jules who’d been standing behind Andy to get to the bunks. He put me in mine and then crawled behind me to wrap his arms around me and pull me to his chest. I turned and buried my face in his neck, my face hot with embarrassment.
“Indy, are you okay?” He whispered quietly. “Do you need anything?”
I shook my head. “I – I –“ I started to say and Ash pulled me back enough to gently kiss me to shut me up.
“Baby, it’s okay; don’t try to talk, just sleep. You’re okay; I got you; I’m right here, just relax.” He rubbed my back affectionately, and I pulled him closer to me and entangled my legs with his to pull him even closer, and then I fell into an uneasy sleep.

When I woke up, I felt sticky and hot, and my nose was still pressed into Ash’s chest, and I could feel him squirming slightly. How long have we been like this? It certainly wasn’t comfortable, anymore. Ash shifted uncomfortably again and it felt like he was pressing his legs together – Oooohhhhh.
I pulled back to see him looking at me with a strained look and he tried to smile at me but I could tell he was getting desperate.
“Want me to move?” I asked innocently, mainly to annoy him.
He tried not to laugh. “Yes, please,” he said through his teeth. I moved to let go of him and slid out of the bunk and he basically rocket-launched himself out of the bunk and ran to the bathroom, ripping the door open and startling both Andy and Juliet who’d been sleeping and whoever was in the main area of the bunk when I heard them make a noise of surprise.
I laughed softly and pulled myself off of the floor and sat back down on my bunk, reaching into my purse and pulling out my phone to see I got a message from Angel that was a selfie of her with Killer and Tokyo who were on her stomach looking at her happily with the caption: THEY’RE MINE NOW, MWAHAHAHA!!
I laughed a bit louder than was probably necessary and looked up to see Andy and Juliet climbing out of Juliet’s bunk, stretching and groaning. Juliet’s hair was flat against her face and Andy’s was sticking up in the back. Both were looking at me tiredly and looking in the direction that Ash had disappeared to.
“Morning,” I said brightly, setting down my phone and reaching into my bag to pull out my toiletries and a towel to use the shower.
“Morning,” they said simultaneously and then yawning.
I laughed. “Wonder Twins activate!” I said teasingly as Andy rolled his eyes and Jules laughed tiredly.
“Hilarious, Indy,” Andy said sarcastically.
I batted my eyes at him sarcastically. “Wasn’t it?” I said getting up.
“How are you feeling, Indy?” Juliet asked me, studying my face carefully.
I shrugged. “Fine, I guess. I don’t feel like I’m gonna have another attack anytime soon, but you know.” I shrugged.
Andy looked at me tiredly. “If you feel like you’re gonna have another attack come find one of us we’ll help you out.”
I nodded thankfully and pulled him into a one-arm hug and then moved to the bathroom. Ash was just coming out, looking a lot more relaxed than he was before and wasn’t clenching his legs together, anymore.
He pulled me close and pressed a kiss to my lips, which I returned and then pressed my nose into his neck.
“How you feeling Babe? I’m so sorry I confronted you like that if I had known –“ I stopped him by putting my fingers over his lips.
“Sweetie, I should have told, you, so don’t blame yourself. I don’t exactly know why I freaked because since I started dating you my anxiety has been very low and I’ve had virtually no problems, but I was bound to have one sooner or later, so don’t worry about it. It’s okay, I’m okay. I feel fine, and now I’d like very much to take a shower.”
Ash smiled and pecked me quickly – but passionately – on the lips and moved out of the way so that I could step into the small bathroom, turn on the shower, strip down, and climb in, grabbing my shampoo and razor as I did. The water was running cool – as it should because unnatural dye in hair comes out faster if you take hot showers and wash your hair a lot, but especially with conditioner – and I quickly washed my hair and then shaved my underarms and my legs. Climbing out, I dried myself off with my towel and then pulled on my Motley Crüe shirt and black skinnies and my black socks. I quickly blow-dried my hair and styled it down with texture cream and lined my eyes with liner and stained my lips with nude lip gloss. Pulling on my bracelets and necklace and polishing my lip and nose piercings and made sure all my gauges and loops were in place before leaving the bathroom and joining the guys in the main area of the bus.
Jake and Jinxx were both sitting on the couch. Jake was in his sweats and one of his Get Mean Fitness shirts. Jinxx was wearing black sweats and a black tank. Maya was sitting in front of him and he was massaging her shoulders. Jake was on his phone and drinking a protein drink. I could see that Andy was in the kitchen in the fridge and CC was sitting at the table, drinking coffee and on his phone. Juliet was sitting across from him, but her back was to me, so I didn’t know what she was doing. Ash was sitting on the couch opposite Jinxx and Jake and Maya, his legs tucked underneath him and he was looking at his phone, but looked up and smiled when I walked in, and patted the cushion next to him.
I walked over and curled up on the couch next to him to see that he was on Twitter, checking his feed. I found myself frowning slightly and moved to quickly get my phone from my bunk and hurry back to rejoin Ash, who was looking at me in confusion until he saw that I had my phone, and he raised his arm back up to wrap around my shoulders and pull me into his side.
I frowned at my screen when I saw that I had updates from my Twitter account that were basically death threats from horny little teenage fangirls about how I wasn’t good enough for Ash and a whole bunch of other bull. I tried to not let it get to me, but sometimes the things that they said really did hurt, like how me surprising Ash was just a stunt for attention and shit.
I sighed bitterly and dropped my phone on the couch next to me and curled up further into Ash and shut my eyes and tried to ignore everything else.
“You okay Babe?” Ash said, rubbing my arm and pulling my face from his side to look at me in concern.
I groaned and rolled my eyes. “Yeah,” I said. “I’m just sick of little girls on Twitter coming after me just because I’m dating you like they know me and are acting like because I am dating you that automatically makes me a monster who does nothing but cheat on you and be a bitch to you. And all because my relationship status is linked to yours.” By the end of my speech I was groaning and my voice had turned into a mumbling sound and my voice was muffled by Ash’s chest.
I heard Ash groan and then I heard a couple from others and I looked up to see Jinxx rolling his eyes and Jake scoffing quietly.
“Are they really bothering you that much?” Andy and Juliet walked into the back.
I shrugged. “It’s more annoying that anything else, really. Though it does sometimes bother me, I try to not let it and remember that a lot of those girls are just mad that Ash is official with someone and that that someone is not them and that they’re just looking for excuses to make me look bad, and that most of them are teenagers.” Like I said before, I have no problems with fans, and I’ve seen the way the band interacts with them and how they tell them how their music helped them, and I love it. I am so proud of those boys for doing that for so many people, and without their fans, they wouldn’t be doing what they love to do. What did bother me were the looks they’d give me or the messages they’d sent me.
I watched as Ash started to angrily type on his phone.
“Babe, you’re not gonna start yelling at fans are you?” I said carefully. “I can deal with it you don’t need to defend me.”
He looked at me slowly. “I’m not gonna yell, I’m just gonna make a statement about how much I love you and that if any fans have a problem with us dating, they can keep those thoughts to themselves because you’re stuck with me, hone.”
I felt my phone vibrate, as it did whenever Ash updated his twitter and Instagram and facebook as it was one of my alerts. Not stalker, I promise – he has the same for me because we didn’t see each other that much, so our updates were pretty important.
This was a link on his Facebook to an Instagram post. All it was was a picture of us cuddling that I recognized from about a week before Warped and I was sleeping curled up on his lap, passed out after a night of drinking beer and watching shitty movies on Netflix. My hair was really faded and I was wearing one of his jerseys and sweatpants and my face was tucked into his chest.
The caption was. “@IndyIpanema, you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. To quote @Andybvb, I love you more than I can ever scream, Baby. How you even gave me the time of the day is beyond me, but I’m glad you did. You’ve made me the happiest I’ve been in a long time, and you have no idea how much your mere presence makes me feel at ease, like everything is right with the world. Your surprise for me yesterday was the best, and will forever be one of the highlights of tour for me, especially since I’d spent all week whining to the guys about how much I missed you. And to all you girls telling her all those awful things about how she’s using me for fame and making up rumors about her cheating on me or treating me horribly behind closed doors… shame on you. I love all my fans, but wow. I thought you were better than that, and if you really are a fan of either me or the band, you will stop posting all your hateful comments about my girl, and respect not just our privacy, but her as a person, because she is one of the best people I have ever had the courtesy of meeting, and she’s changed me for the better without her even knowing it. She may not say it, but I know those messages bother her more than she lets on. Let’s be mature about this, okay? Indigo Graham is my girlfriend, and has been for almost six months now. She means the world to me, and I would do just about anything to protect her from harm. If you want to know more about her, just ask, as long as it’s not too personal. I’ll talk to her in a bit and see how she feels about addressing you guys officially. I love you all, but please don’t attack my girl.”
I felt my eyes tear up slightly as I read Ashley basically defending me online. The response was immediate. There were girls apologizing on behalf of the girls who attacked me, girls questioning if people were really doing that, some hate, and so on.
I checked my twitter again to see that I was getting hundreds of new followers and people asking me all sorts of questions.
I smiled up at Ash who was looking pretty proud of himself and was all but puffing his chest up with pride.
I hugged him tightly. “Normally I don’t like it when people do that sort of shit for me because I like to defend myself, but since they’re your fans, if I tried to do that it’d look really bad.”
I looked to see the guys were all reading Ash’s post, and I smiled when I saw the reactions on their faces to what Ash had said to me and to the fans.
There was a knock on the door. “Guys! You have to perform in a few hours and there’s some people here to interview you guys. Be ready in one hour!” So much for downtime.
I sat up to let Ash up as he stood up and groaned, stretching his hands over his head.
“Indy, maybe you should think about doing a vlog or something and talk to the fans so that they can get to know you better. Jake could help you.” I saw Jake perk up slightly when he said that.
“I’d be happy to, Indy.” He stood up. “Just let me know when.”
All the guys filed into the back of the trailer, shutting the door and leaving me with Maya and Juliet, who told us she had to get ready for her own set and left to get back to the trailer with her band. Today we were in New Mexico.
I looked at Maya, who looked sort of lost.
“Feel like looking around the tour?” I asked, standing.
She stood up with me. “Sure.”
I smiled and grabbed my phone. “Let’s go explore Warped Tour!”
