I got off the bus as soon as I was done. Lingering thoughts of the past did nothing for my positive new start.

As I opened the door, I heard a dull thud, followed by a groan. I quickly shut the door and looked toward where the sound had come from. A moaning heap laid on the floor outside our bus.

'Oh my god I'm sorry! Are you ok?' I started trying to help up the stranger, and saw he was wearing a JAGK shirt. I also smelled the alcohol on him. 'Wait are you Vinny?' He nodded slowly, before groaning again and clutching his head. 'Oh well.. this could be fun.' He looked at me questioningly. I winked at him, before helping him stand. I started skipping over to All Time Low's bus, dragging a reluctant Vinny behind me.

'ALEX!' I yelled. Vinny groaned. 'JACK!' He groaned louder. 'RIAN!' Vinny grunted, shaking his head at me, but immediately regretting it. 'ZACK! MATT!' I paused, to see Vinny had sunk to the ground. On a whim, I added one more name to those I was yelling. 'BELLA!' I winked at Vinny as the door opened, and Bella opened the door, in her shorts and Rian's T-Shirt. Rian appeared over her shoulder, quickly followed by Jack and Alex. Soon she was surrounded by everyone in the bus.

I think the guys were expecting a fight, they clearly didn't understand our relationship yet. 'Been at it again missy?' I winked at her.

'What was the giveaway?' She asked, mock-surprised that I had sussed her out so quickly. The guys looked really confused.

'Gotta be the sex hair this time.' She put a hand up to her hair, feeling how matted and tangled it was. We both fell into fits of laughter, the faces of All Time Low and their manager only adding to the humour of the situation.

Bella had a lot of casual sex. Her and Rian had had an on/off relationship for a few years. They'd met at an All Time Low show a couple of years back, and they'd instantly hit it off. They'd both dated other people too, but whenever they were around each other, they dropped everything... and everyone, to meet up. And by meet up, I mean they had constant sex for the duration of the tour or visit. It was great that they were happy and all, but there had been more than a few broken hearts along the way. Some really good people had gotten really hurt.

I hadn't even known Rian was in All Time Low until we found out about this tour, and I was happy for them – we would be together for just under 3 months, and that meant they would have a shot a real relationship for once. But Bella had literally broken up with her boyfriend of almost 7 months – a long time for her – the day before we left for Rian, and I was worried about her. She was getting kind of… heartless.

I blinked, realising I had spaced out for a moment, to see Bella still laughing, tears running out of her eyes. Somehow it didn't seem so funny anymore.

'Well anyway,' I said as Bella wiped away her tears. Rian's arm snaked around her waist, and she leaned into him. 'I brought you someone.' I helped Vinny up again. 'I present, one incredibly hungover merch manager.' Alex smiled at me, and as I smiled lightly back at him, I saw Jack frown.

Vinny broke the awkwardness then, thank god. 'Guys, I'm gonna puke.' I shoved him away from me, toward the bus.

'Eww Vinny don't puke on me!' I laughed, as the guys all cleared the doorway for Vinny to get to the bathroom.

'Guaranteed at least half of us have puked on or near you by this time next week.' Zack said, deadly serious. There was a slight silence, before we all burst out laughing, not quite covering the sound of Vinny retching inside the bus.

'Still,' I answered him, still laughing, 'I'd like to make it through the first day.' The 5 guys all creased up, while me and Bella exchanged a puzzled look.

'Good luck with that.' Jack winked at me.

'So are you coming in or you just gonna stand there all day?' Alex asked jokingly, before I could respond to Jack.

'Well.. I could, or you guys could come over to our bus, since it's empty anyway, and then we can leave Bella and Rian here. And Vinny. He can stay here too.' I grinned up at the guys.

'Sure.' Alex smiled, stepping out of the bus. 'Have fun kids, be safe.' He winked at Rian as Jack, Zack and Matt followed him off the bus and shut the door behind them.
