TAY
I waited at the side of the stage, we were doing everything abosolutely by our selves, we didn't have a manager or even any techs so we baisically just got a time and we had to go on at that time. No manager to help us, but we got it done.
'30 seconds.' Rob said, counting down on his watch until 2pm, that we when we were due on. I took a couple of deep breaths and peaked at the crowd there was about 100 people there, it was hard to tell but it was still amazing.
'3, 2, 1.' Rob said and we all ran out onto the stage, the crowd creaming.
'What's up guys, we're We Are The In Crowd thank you so much for coming out, this song's called Both Sides of The Story. The guys burst into the intro and I started to sing.
'If this is what you think is honest? Honestly, I think I'm gonna freak out.' I sang and Jordan started to sing.
I looked out into the auidence, people were singing back to us and it felt amazing to know people like the music we've made. I looked up to the slight hill beside our stage, there we're two people sitting there. I recognised one as the guy we nearly killled and the other was kinda tall and extremley ripped. They both looked extremly familiar but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. we continued with our set but I knew them from somewhere and it was etching in the back of my mind. I looked back to the crowd and noticed a girl wearing an All Time Low shirt and it suddenly hit me. Fuck, we'd nearly ran over Alex, the lead singer of All Time Low. I carried on singing thought 'd become suddenly nervous that they we're watching us. Their band was playing on one of the main stages and they were really good. Eventually we got through our set list.
'Alright that's it for us guys, thank you so much for coming out!' I said as we left the stage.
ALEX
This band's music was great, I think Taylor even saw me watching. I hope she doesn't recognise me as the guy she nearly hit with a van. I saw the band run off the after their show and run down towards the merch tables. I frowned and followed them, I looked around for a while 'till I found the We Are The In Crowd table, guess it wasn't a miss print. I walked over to them and Taylor saw me coming, she smiled.
'Hey, you're Alex right?' she said, smiling sweetly.
'Yeah, and you're Taylor?' I said, trying to impress her with my knowledge of her band.
'Tay.' she corrected me. 'Sorry for almost killing you by the way.'
'It's cool, I like to nearly be hit down by vans' I joked, she giggled and I smiled to myself.
'Yeah, Jordan isn't the best driver.' she said which earned a hey! from the tall, lanky one. She rolled her eyes and turned back to me, her 4 band mates behind her, setting up the merch.
'So is this your first Warped?' I asked
'Yep.'
'How you liking it so far?'
'It's totally awesome, everyone's super nice.' she said, smiling, I don't think she ever stopped smiling. I was about to reply when Jack, Zack and Rian ran over, Jack jumped on my back and I lost my balance and fell down. I was doing pretty well at embarassing myself with this girl.
TAY
It was then when his band mates walked over and tackled him to the ground. I had to stiffle a laugh as Alex pulled himself off the floor and hit one of the other member 's in the head. Jack i think his name was?
'Do you guys have anyone to help you out?' asked Rian, at least I'm pretty sure that's his name.
'Nope, it's just us but we manage.' I said, trying to hold back my laughter at Jack and Alex play fighting in the backgorund.
'That's pretty cool though.' the other one, Zack, said to me.
'I guess, it gets hard sometimes though.' I said, biting my lip as Jack kicked Alex in the back of the leg and knocked him down.
'One second.' Zack said and turned around to Jack and Alex, pulling them away from each other by their hair. Both of them going yelling in pain for Zack to let go.
'Sometimes I wonder why I joined this band.' Rian mutted and I laughed.
'Because you love us Rian!' Jack said and threw his arms around Rian.
'Or maybe a certain someone nagged me to do it and I joined so he would shut up.' he replied and shoved Jack off him, who then started pouting at Rian.
'Fine, I love you Jacko.' he said rolling his eyes. I laughed at them, seems like I was making firends here.
ALEX
I felt bad for not really helping out this morning so I did my part in packing everything away. I helped Tori lug a massive case of guitar's to the bus. Tori was Jack's girlfriend, she was a sweet girl. She was quite short, about 5''3 and just, and no more, came up to my shoulder. She had firetruck red hair but the ends were dip dyed a sort of neon red colour. She had bright blue eyes that she rimmed with eye liner and she never wore anything apart from converse, demin shorts and Glamour Kills t-shirts. She was wearinf JAGK cap, her hair sticking out the back in a messy pontail. We'd met her a couple years back when her band opened for us but their bassist had recently got married and had a kid so they weren't touring at the moment so Tori was helping us out on tour.
'Thanks 'Lex.' she said, she'd picked up Jack's stupid nickname for me but I didn't mind. At least she didn't call me Lexie like he did.
'No problemo Tori!' I said and we started to wander back to the stage, it was just starting to get dark and we're millions of stars bursting across the sky. I noticed Tay walking towards us.
'Hey Alex.' she said brightly, waving at me.
'Hey Tay,' I said smiling right back 'Uh this is Tori, Jack's girlfriend.'
'Hi.' Tori said in her usual perky voice
'Hey.' Tay said smiling at her 'I really wanted to show you something Alex.'
'Okay sure.' I said and she waved me to follow her.
Tori snorted and headed back to the stage, deliberateley leaving us alone. Dammit, she could read me like a book. I followed Tay towards the small stage where they'd performed earlier in the day.
'Where are we going?' I said curiously, she tapped the side of her nose and carried on walking.
I followed her, curiousity getting the better of me, she was so mysterious. She slipped down the side of her stage. There was about a 2ft gap between their stage and the fence that surrounded the venue. I looked around, there was no one around, before slipping in after her. I could just make out her figure in front of me, then it disappeared.
'Tay?' I whispered
'Right here.' she said and she was on the other side of the fence.
'How did you get through there?' I asked and she pinted to a gap in the bottom of the fence. I looked up at her, we really weren't supposed to leave the grounds. But then again we weren't actually leaving for another 3 hours.
'Come on.' she said, grinning from the other side. I looked around one more time before ducking under.
