I managed to stuff all my bags in the bus without taking up too much room. My band called My Heart I Surrender has been out for a little over a year and I'd say we've got a pretty big fan base. I walked over to the kitchen to see Connor and Ricky chugging beers.

"Where's Mici?" I asked them.

"Couch..." Connor mumbled as he opened another.

I grabbed a water bottle and went over to the couch where Mici was sitting and plopped myself down next to her.

"How's your sorry excuse for a boyfriend doing?" she asked.

"My amazing boyfriend is doing fine." I said "I wish you two would just get along."

"Yeah like that'll ever happen." she said.

She turned around and looked at me for a second like she wanted to say something but turned back around. We sat in silence for 10 minutes before she spoke up.

"You know, I've been thinking.... I want a boyfriend." she said. I nearly choked on the water I was drinking.

"Huh?" I asked.

"I said I want a boyfriend."

"Um. Well that's random. Why all of the sudden now?"

"I don't know. I've just been feeling lonely lately, I guess."

"Mici, you've insisted on being a single wild child since we were 14. What's changing your mind?"

"Well, we're getting older, Willow. l kinda want to settle down with someone."

"We're only 23, Mici."

"My mom was already married and pregnant with my brother when she was 23."

Well, Mici," I sighed, " considering the type of person you are, if you want a boyfriend that bad it shouldn't be too hard for you to find one."

"What are trying to say?"

It was the end of May, and it was blazing hot outside. We got to the first city in just a few hours. I have no idea how crazy these kids are to jump and run around in the hot sun all day with a bunch of other crazy kids. But then again, that was me a couple years ago.

I hopped out of the bus with Mici and started walking down to Andy's bus.

"Do we really have to go see this loser right now?" she asked.

"You didn't have to come." I said through my teeth. I'm really trying to not loose my temper with her.

"Nah, I wanted to see Ashley." she said with a wink.

I rolled my eyes and kept walking down the bus. I got to Andy's bus and before I could even knock the door swung open.

"Come right in, beautiful. And other." he said as he gestured inside and moved out of our way.

I walked in and my nose immediately wrinkled in disgust. They've definitely already claimed their bus.

"Andy it reeks in here." I said. He sniffed the air.

"Hm. Are you sure it's not your friend here. How's it going, Bitchy?" he said.

"Fuck you Biersack." she snapped back.

"Mm no thanks."

An hour passed and we had to leave to get ready for our set. I got into the bus and saw Connor and Ricky passed out on the couch. Mici went to waking them up while I looked for Kyle. After looking practically everywhere on the bus, I finally found him asleep in his bunk.

"Kyle." I said as I shook his shoulder.

"What?" he groaned.

""There's only an hour until our set. That's what."

"Shit."

He flew out of his bunk and straight into the bathroom. 20 minutes later her came out looking like a million bucks.

"Everyone ready?"

We all walked to the stage together, excited like little kids on Christmas. Once we got back stage, we started warming up. A man came up to me and pinned a little microphone to my shirt. Seems odd since there will probably be one on stage, but I'm new to this. I've only ever performed little shows in cafe's in small towns and stuff. This is really different.

15 minutes left. I'm not nervous. 10 minutes left. I'm fine. 5 minutes left. I'm terrified. Andy came backstage when we had 2 minutes left.

"Don't worry. You'll be fine." he had said. But I could barely here him over my own thoughts.

It's time.

"Ready?" Kyle asked me. I just nodded.

"Are you nervous?"

"Nope."

"Yes you are." he chuckled. I felt him put his hand on the small of my back. "We'll be great."

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Well, we're on stage right now as we speak. Let's find out."
