Six months. That was all I had left with him. If I would have known that from the start I would have spent more time with him, but nobody knew those were his last six months of life. We, were all too busy with our band All We Know. Sometimes I wish I could have went back in time and had chosen for us to go on tour with some other band then Pierce The Veil and A Day To Remember. Although some good things came out of touring with them. I fell in love and our band became really popular with the right kind of genre we wanted to play. So that was good right? Of course it was. It just would have been better if Taylor could be here to see how far we've come. Now I know what you're wondering. Who's Taylor? What happened to him? Why do I regret going on tour if all these good things came out of it? Well it all started six months ago when we won a contest to go on tour with Pierce The Veil and The A Day To Remember. My band and I were super stoked to go since it would be our first tour ever. We were going to be the opening band. There were three other members in the band besides myself. I was the lead singer. Taylor was, my best friend, and the lead guitar. He sometimes did screaming for songs. On the other guitar there was Chelsea. She was the only other girl in the band besides myself. And last but not least there was Ryan, the drummer. He was a bit stupid, but we all loved him anyways. We had to share a tour bus with Pierce The Veil..we, were all fine with that. We didn't have much of anything right now. Luckily their crew was nice, and helped us out a lot. I mean they helped us more than you could ever imagine. PTV even was going to help us write a few songs for our very first EP that we, were going to record once this tour was over...
Anyways back to what I saw saying..the story all begins back at our first show.
"We made it!" Ryan cheered happily as we walked backstage. I just grinned at him and watched A Day To Remembers' crew begin to set up the stage for their set.
"I hope we're that big one day." Taylor said suddenly as he stepped up next to me. I turned to face him.
"Ahem? Music is about fun. Not being famous or making lots of Money..." I reminded him. He rolled his eyes.
"I don't want us to be one hit wonders." He said as he crossed his arms. Chelsea rolled her eyes at him this time.
"Stop being so damn negative." She snapped as she stepped up to the other side of me. Taylor opened up his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Vic, the lead singer of Pierce The Veil.
"How was your first show?" He asked once he got closer to us. He was the friendliest one of them all.
"It was good." I said as I tried to hide the nervousness in my voice. It was very stupid of me to get starstruck over Vic..especially since we had known him for a few months, but I couldn't help it. He was so damn cute.
"That's great." He said with a smile. Taylor gave him an odd look but didn't say anything more.
"Yes it is." Chelsea answered for me. Vic laughed at me. He must have realized I was too starstruck to speak. I blushed and put my head down.
"Watch where you're going!" Jeremy Mckinnon, the lead singer of A Day To Remember, shouted. I looked back up to see him push Ryan out of his way. Ryan didn't say anything he only stood there with his jaw hanging open. Taylor walked right up to Jeremy and got into his face.
"Don't even start shit! We haven't done a thing to you! We're new to all this stuff and excuse Ryan for not knowing your ways!" Taylor shouted. Jeremy only stood there with a disgusted look on his face. He clenched up his fist and brought up his arm to punch Taylor in the face. Luckily I moved just in time to get right between them.
"Jessica move out of the way! Don't you know anything? You don't get into the middle of fights!" Taylor shouted. I stayed right where I was standing.
"I don't care. I don't want to make any enemies this early in our career! Do you want our band to get a bad name? No? Then stop fighting!" I ordered. Taylor took a deep breath. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jeremy do the same. Once I knew they were both calmed down I stepped away and walked back over to Vic who stood there frozen. I couldn't tell if he was amazed, shocked, or scared. I figured he was shocked. Jeremy gave Taylor one last look and walked off to meet up with his band mates. After a few minutes Chelsea finally spoke up.
"What was that all about?" She asked in a quiet voice. Taylor turned back to face us.
"To be honest..I don't even know." Taylor said with a confused look on his face.
And that was how it all started.
–
N/A: No hate intended against Jeremy or the rest of A Day To Remember. I'm actually a huge fan of them! And to anyone who is curious..All We Know is a totally made up band.
