together we will be unbroken

Our first show is in Victoria, British Columbia. Right now we are sitting in line at the border. When we finally get up there it's going to be so tough. They will probably pull is in, and we'll have to sit inside and get asked a lot of questions. Huh it's exasperating. At the moment I am pacing the hallway between the bunks. I pace when I'm annoyed or stressed. I feel someone catch my shoulders. "What are you doing?" Ashley asks. He is raising an eyebrow and it is so hot.

"Pacing." I say with a bit to much bite than I intended.

"Why?"

"Because I'm freaking out a bit." I breath. He gives me a go on look. "First of all I'm Irish. I always get asked a lot of questions at the border. Second we are going to get pulled in anyway. Third I have bad road rage, and fourth I am inside and I can't run around and I feel trapped a-" I'm interrupted by Ashley kissing me. I stand on my tiptoes and pull him closer. He licks my bottom lip and I gasp immediately allowing him enterence.

"We should probably stop." He mumbles against my lips. I nod. I really don't want to, and I really don't want him to let go of me. But he does. I look up at him through my eyelashes. "What's wrong Rose?" He comes over and wraps his arms around my waist again. That's better.

"You were to far away again." I pout. He chuckles.

"I'm sorry." He touches my forehead with his. Ah.. this feels right.

"Sorry to break this up, but we have to go inside." Jinxx says from the doorway. I sigh and follow him down the stairs. Ashley's fingers intertwine themselves with mine.

I watch officers unload our equipment. God their going to take it apart, and we'll be here all day. I sigh and help them with my lights. "Thank you." A guy with a buzz cut nods.

"No problem." I smile.

"What is in these?" He asks.

"Um the ones in your hands are mics, I have lights, that guy over there has drums, the guy with the amps is over there, and there are more lights and sound equipment in the cargo hold."

"Geez..." he scratches the back of his neck. "We are going to be here all day taking this apart, and we don't even know how." We grab more lights.

"Do you want me to do it? You can stand over my shoulder to make sure I don't do anything." I suggest.

"That would be great." He smiles. I nod amd opem up the silver boxes one by one. I carefully take the lights apart and put them back together, and putting them back in their assigned case.
"Um ma'am we're going to need to check your suitcase." An officer tells me.

"Can I have my friend bring it out?" I ask. He nods. I see Ronnie sitting there doing nothing. "Hey Buttercup go get my suitcase!" I exclaim.

"You go get it." He replies.

"I'm kinda busy right now." I say as I take an eyeglass screwdriver and reassemble one of the lasers.

"Fine." He groans. The officers are chuckling. "I'm sorry I know you're working but can we ask you some questions?"

"Shoot." I say not looking up. "Oh, I probably shouldn't say that at a border stop huh?"

"It's fine I know you didn't mean anything by it." One laughs. "So what are you going to be doing in Canada?"

"We have a concert."

"How long will you be staying?"

"Until about 4:30 a.m." I place the strobe light back.

"Is America your birthplace?" Fuck here we go.

"No. I'm from Ireland." They sigh.

"I'm really sorry miss, but we have to fingerprint you, and see your passport." He sighs.

"I figured you would. My passport is in my suitcase." I walk over to the guy with my suitcase. "Have you dug out my passport yet?" I ask.

"Yup. My God how many clothes do you need?" He inquires.

"Enough for three months." I sigh. I grab my passport and follow thebofficers. They take my passport and scan it while I get fingerprinted.

"I'm going to give you a pass that says that you're all good, so when you guys come back through you won't have to do all of this again."

"Oh my gosh thank you so much." I sigh. After we get all of our crap back on the bus we head to the venue.
