I followed our manager to the black tour bus with the Asking Alexandria logo on the side along with the porn star from their Reckless and Relentless album, there was also the Monster Energy drink symbol plastered on the side and the back from what I could see.
Claire walked by my side since we were meant to be meeting their vocalist and their lead guitarist. I glanced to Claire not really wanting to do this but we had to, Bob lead us onto the tour bus.
I followed as I sighed softly hearing Claire do the same as she followed me. Bob stopped and let me and Claire sit down opposite the vocalist and the lead guitarist of Asking Alexandria.
"This is Danny and Ben of Asking Alexandria. Ben, Danny this is Cookie and Claire of Atomic Riot." They nodded as they glanced to us.
"Bob what are we doing here exactly besides meeting these two?" I asked still a little unsure why we had to meet them now and not at the venue in a weeks time.
"I told you that Stephen and I wanted at least two of you to have met." I rolled my eyes as I glanced to Claire.
"Do you have a problem with meeting us?" The one I knew as Danny asked gaining my attention as I looked at him. A smug look on his face with quite harsh features whereas the other member seemed to be rather laid back with very calm and gentle features.
"Yeah I do." I said seeing the anger flare up in his eyes.
"Why's that?" He asked obviously trying to stay calm.
"Cause I don't like you." I said back knowing it wasn't my best but still I didn't like him.
"Why don't ya like him?" The taller of the two asked I guessed that was Ben.
"Because he's an egoistic, narcissistic arsehole with a drinking problem." I said seeing Claire smirk and Bob just shake his head as he turned away from us, he should know that I can't always hold my tongue.
"I may me egoistic but at least my band aren't a bunch of posers who can't play their instruments!" He spat back, obviously bursting my bubble.
"At least we never got booed off stage because we were unfit to perform!" I almost shouted at him as I took a step towards him.
"Oh yeah bring that up why don't you, Danny was going through a hard time back then." Ben said as he stood between Danny and I.
"Is that why you threatened to send him to rehab or kick him out of the band?" I said as Bob pushed me back slightly and stood directly in front of me, cutting Danny from my vision.
"Enough of that Christina, Danny's worked real hard to change his ways and is doing really well right now. As for Ben he's stood by Danny since the beginning the least you could do is show your appreciation for them allowing you and the guys join the tour." I sighed as I looked passed Bob to see Danny smirking.
"First, Bob its not just their tour its ours aswell and second, why would I want to tour with a bunch of assholes?" I asked noticing Claire step forward and tug at my arm.
"Come on dude don't waste your energy." I sighed as I nodded and stepped back from Bob.
"I'm off see you at the venue in a weeks time." I said as I turned away from them and began to walk towards the door.
"Yeah that's right, fuck off!" I heard Danny say, I turned on my heel ready to punch him when I felt Claire grab both my arms and Bob stop me by putting his hands on my shoulders.
"Danny shut up and let her leave." Ben said as he playfully slapped Danny over the head before laughing. I sighed again before turning back around and leaving with Claire, once we were off the tour bus I sighed as I closed my eyes and looked up to the sky feeling the suns warmth on my face.
"You okay dude?" I heard Claire ask, I shook my head lightly before opening my eyes and looking at her.
"Yeah, I don't know what happened there I just snapped." She nodded an unsure smile on her lips as she glanced back to the bus as Bob stepped off.
"What was that all about Cookie?" He asked as he walked over to me, obviously pissed at me, I shrugged. I didn't know, it just happened.
"I don't know Bob I just don't like them and I snapped okay." I said seeing Bob hold his hand up in defense. "Sorry."
"Its okay, your stressed. Just go home and relax I'll see you at the venue in Sacarmento on the 10th okay?" I nodded with a smile as I turned away from him and walked over to my car.
"Yeah, I'll see you there. Claire are you coming?" I asked unsure what she was wanting to do right now.
"Yeah, can you drop me off at my place dude?" I nodded as I unlocked the car and climbed in, Claire followed. I stook the key in the ignition and revved the car before driving off with music playing on my CD player. I smiled when My Darkest Days Porn Star Dancing came on, I glanced to Claire seeing a smirk appear on her face as she turned the volume up a little.
It only took about 20 minutes to get to Claire's place, killing the engine I looked to Claire and smiled. "Right dude I'll see you later. Are you doing anything tomorrow?"
"Not sure but if your free I'll give you a call." She nodded and climbed out of the car and shut the door. I turned the key in the ignition and drove off knowing it would only take about 5 minutes to reach my place from here. Reaching my place I pressed the button on the key ring I had which would open the garage door for me.
Once I'd parked my car in the garage I went straight into the kitchen area of my home and took another can of monster energy drink from the fridge and sighed as I took a mouth full. There was only a week left before the tour so I guess I would be best packing for the tour more than anything.
Sighing softly I walked into the living area and switched my stereo on glad that it was Motley Crue that started playing. Content I began walking up stairs so I could start packing. Setting the can on the table beside my bed I walked over to my wardrobe so I could get my suit case out.
..:: About 2 hours later ::..
I laid there on my bed breathing softly as I thought about what I could do to waste the rest of the day and even the night. It was about 3:30 ish so I guess the best thing to do would be go get something to eat before going out for the night. Sitting up I downed the last of the can of the monster. Climbing to my feet I headed back downstairs so I could throw the can in the bin and turn the stereo down.
I almost jumped when I heard my phone start ringing, pulling it out my pocket and checked the caller ID. I smiled seeing Oli's picture on the screen. "Hello?" I answered still smiling as I sat myself down on the nearest chair.
"Hey, Christina you coming out for a few drinks tonight before you start touring next week?"
"Sure, I was thinking of going out anyways, whose all going likes?" I asked.
"Just me and the guys and who ever else decides to tag along. You can invite others out too." He said, I could hear people shouting in the background rather faint at first.
"I'm up for it, might get Taylor and Claire out then." I said, knowing Oli had a thing for Taylor.
"Okay, well I'll meet you at the Rainbow with the guys." I nodded to myself a smile creeping onto my face.
"Sure, what time?" I quickly asked.
"Make it about 6."
"Sure, see you then Oli." I hung up the phone and jumped to my feet so I could go and get ready.
