Chapter 1
It was 1:00am, and I couldn't sleep. I checked my phone, only six more hours until my cousin's wake up. We all planned to get up at 7am to get ready for warped tour and hit the road quick, so we could arrive early so that we didn't have to wait in a long ass line. I spent the next six hours starring at the ceiling and checking my phone. I probably got 30 minutes sleep between 1 and 7, but it was enough. As always Jessica is the first to wake up, Then Angelica. Even though its 7am Jessica is jumping around and freaking out like a fat kid when he gets his hands on cake, she is so excited that it seems like she's been hitting the crack pipe. Jessica is the warped tour expert; she's been going for years. Even though she goes almost every year, she still jumps around and gets excited, but this year she happy because The Used is playing as the closing act. As for me and Angelica, it's our first warped tour. To be honest I have no idea, who any of the bands are, except for All Time Low. But still I only know like 3 of their songs. Because of the knowledge I have of the music that's going to be played, I'm nervous that I won't fit in or enjoy it.
Were on the road, and we are all dressed for warped tour in shorts and tank tops because its summer and summer means hot weather. Well at least that's what I thought. Its 10 and its hella cold outside, and to top it off I sat behind angelica, the one person in the car that likes to drive with the window down! So I'm freezing my balls off in the backseat, well that's if I had balls. As we arrive it takes us about half an hour to find a parking space and after we parked it took us twenty minutes to get out of the actually parking a lot because we all had to pee and the porta-potty was out of toilet paper. So angelica and Jessica sent me to go grab napkins from the car that we had in there from McDonald's. As I lock up the car, some creepy ass Mormon guy came up to me and was trying to give me a book about the Mormons and why I should become one. So I shewed him. Finally we begin to walk to get our place in line and as we were walking some jack-ass decides to yell,
"What happens at warped tour, Stays at Warped tour!"
But what could possibly happen at warped tour that had to stay? So I just ignored him, after all his douchebag appearance makes him look like he belonged with the cast of jersey shore. But for some reason his words stuck in my head. What happens at warped tour, stays at warped tour…those words ran in circles, in and out of my head.
As we waited in line it began to get hotter, I wasn't really worried about sunburn I mostly tan in the sun turning me not a golden brown but a poop brown. As for Jessica, she sunburns easily, and I mean it when I say easily. We waited in line for about an hour or two. I checked my ticket looking for the starting time of the event; the ticket reads 11:00am so I checked my phone for the current time, 1:14pm. Great! Not only is it hot and we are standing shoulder to shoulder, chest to back in line but we are also two hours in to the concert and we aren't even inside. I try to look and see how much longer the line is but I see no end, all I see Is a sea of people sweating, talking, making out, and other weird stuff. As we keep slowly moving forward in line, Jessica begins to get upset because she's missing one of her favorite bands. Eventually we make our way to the front and make it inside, there's so many people that there's no way to walk without bumping into people.
"I have never seen this many people at Warped tour ever! This is the first time it's ever been sold out in years." Jessica says as we walk in to the tour.
Trying to figure out what our next move is we decide to grab a beer. We pull out our and get wrist bands that prove that we are over the age of 21. Anyways while waiting to see the next band, we decide to join the crowd for Mayday Parade. I didn't know who they were at first, but damn they were good. We have a little trouble getting out of the crowd, and little did I know, I ended up lost. I wandered around for quite some time. I was walking with my head down starring at my phone while trying to get service. Bam! I walked right into a door, the guy that was standing on the other side quickly rushed to my rescue. Since my head was hit pretty hard, my vision was a blur. All I could make out of what, this mystery man looked like was he had pink in his hair and he hadn't shaved. He pulled me up to my feet and took me to get a bag of ice for my head, inside what seemed to be a tour bus. When my vision became clearer, I saw him. He was so good looking, totally not what I expected him to look like. I was picturing some fat guy with tattoos all up and down his arms or at least something along those lines. But he was so much better than that.
I guess he took a liking to me to. We started to talk. About a half hour later he asked me how my head felt my reply was "fine". I saw Jessica and angelica in the distance.
"Oh! Look there's my cousins"
He turned torwardsme and asked what time it was. When I told him it was 2:40pm he said;
"Crap! I have to get ready!"
"Why?" I replied
"For the show!"
"Wait, you're performing?"
"I must have hit you pretty hard, considering you didn't realize who I am or where we are "he said with alittle under the breath chuckle.
"I'm sorry but I don't know who you are but I do realize that we're in a bus, wait, who are you?"
"I'm Alex Gaskarth, you know from All Time Low?"
"Holly Crap!" I said with sudden realization of the whole situation.
Iwas with Alex Gaskarth in his tour bus….how could I have not noticed?! Well here's how I have no fucking idea who the hell All Time Low is, well I know like 2 or 3 of their old songs, and I mean old. Oh man, jess is never going to believe this. But I guess I should worry about what my next move is, should I stay or should I go?
"Well I think it's time for me to go find my cousins, but it was nice meeting you!" Isaid as I tried to rush tothe doorwithout him saying anything because the sound of his voice made me weak.
"Wait" he said while grabbing his guitar
Crap. I thought to myself, he wants me to wait…are you kidding me?! I feel like such an idiot for not realizing who I was with and falling for him in the short amount of time I've known him But I realized that instead of trying to get away and make crap out the situation, I should stay and make to best out of it.
"Ok" I murmured
"Jack! Zack! Rian!" he yells down the tour bus. "This is Elli; I hit her with a door"
"Well that's a nice way to pick up chicks" jack said as he began to laugh "that's how I pick up chicks I hit them with doors, even if it's a sliding door I'll push her into in it."
Jacks humor really turned me on, but so did Alex's. You could obviously tell that jack was the flirty type the way he talked and acted around other people. I really like Alex, but I'm really beginning to like jack. Someone shoot me now.
Alex turns to me and says "go find your cousins and meet us at the gate by the stage."
"Why?" I was very curious to know
"Just do it!" he said with the cutest grin I've seen.
After finding Jessica and Angelica, I get an ear-full…
"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?!" Jessica seems upset.
"Well, while I was looking for you guys, I ran into a door, a big metal tour bus door. And well….never mind it's a long story but come on, there are some people I want you guys to meet."
"Ok, just no more taking off!" Jessica demands, while they follow me to the All Time Low set.
We finally make it to the gate. As I'm looking for them with my back towards the gate, I feel arms wrap around me and pull me behind the gate. I turn around expecting to see Alex's big breathe taking brown eyes and his cute smile, but what I really see is Jack with his sexy big brown eyes and heart stopping sense of humor.
"Well it's about time you got here!" jack said like he had been waiting forever
"Holy crap, nonnie! You could have told me the people we were meeting were All Time Low" angelica was in shock.
"I didn't think you would believe me..." I said without trying to laugh at angelica for being so excited.
"I wouldn't have believed you, not at all" I could tell that jess was telling the truth.
Out of the blue Alex showed up, seeing him made me smile. He came over gave me a hug, but after the hug, he still kept his arm around. Angelica and Jessica starred with little mischievous grins. It felt nice, his arm wrapped around me but I still kept thinking about jack and his arms around me. I honestly didn't think warped tour was going to be this crazy...
"Come on, you guys could be part of our on stage audience." zack insisted. Making a hand gesture towards the stage.
We followed the boys up to stage, and take our seat behind them with other crazy ass fans. But I have to admit we had lots of fun. The performance was probably half an hour long at the most. At the end of their performance, Alex pulls me to the side and asks if I would go with him to the warped tour after party.
"I don't know." I was unsure if it was a good idea considering how I felt for both him and jack.
"Please?" Alex pleaded
"Ok but only if Jessica and angelica can come to."
"Of course!"
"So just give us the directions"
"Just come with us"
"What about our car?"
"Geesh you make things difficult, we'll get someone to deliver it to the party, just come on or were going to be late."
"It's an after party, isn't ok to fashionly late?" I said laughing at my own joke
"Ha-ha not if you want the good booze!"
"Then what are we waiting for!" We began to get in the bus while they were packing up their stuff. Jack walked in and tapped me on the shoulder as he walked by. Then Alex walked in and sat next to me and put his arm around my waist. This is going to be the start of a complicated night.
