"Call time is in ten minutes!" Jason yelled into the bus, successfully getting the attention of everyone in the bus. "If one of you guys is late, curfew will be moved an hour earlier."

I have never seen teenagers run so fast. We were ready and inside the venue within five minutes, waiting patiently for Jason. As we waited, I glanced out over the crowd, seeing all of the faces of the people who were eagerly waiting for us. I was jarred from my thoughts by Jason calling us together. He gave us the usual pep talk and then Kellin and the rest of the guys headed on stage for the opening.

I have to say that I'm pretty proud of them. And I was excited to watch their first major show. There was something that seemed to change about them when they were all on stage together. I mean, they were already really closely knit together as friends, but the music seemed to bring them even closer, if that was possible.

Kellin was mesmerizing when he sang. As I was watching him, I looked out into the crowd, watching their reactions. As far as I could tell, it seemed to be going over well. As I looked around, I noticed that there were a few people who looked out of place. I went to look again, but they were gone.

"Must be imagining things." I mumbled to myself.

"What was that bro?" Mike questioned from behind me.

"Huh? Oh nothing, I was just talking to myself." He nodded before focusing back on the stage. I gazed over the crowd again, but didn't see anyone again. I really must have imagined it.

"Alright that's it for us guys!" Kellin yelled out to the crowd. "We're Sleeping With Sirens and we'll be hanging out at our table during the next set so come hang out with us." Their set had gone really well and I could tell that the energy from playing their first large show was driving them. They came bounding off the stage and straight to us.

"Oh my god! That was amazing!" Kellin threw himself around me, his sweat covered hair sticking to my neck a little.

"You guys did great." I squeezed him in my arms.

"So, can you get use to this?" Mike asked as the others gathered near us.

"Most definitely." Jesse answered.

"Vic, Mike, Tony, Jaime, get your butts in gear!" Jason's voice rang from the other end of the back area.

"You guys better get out there before daddy blows a gasket." Justin laughed.

"Yup, duty calls." Tony grabbed Mike and Jaime and I gave Kellin a quick kiss before heading over to my gear. I watched as he and the others walked towards the dressing rooms, their excited faces making me smile.

We got out onto the stage and finished helping set up our equipment. The crowd was slightly restless by the time we were actually ready to play. And the energy jumped as I stepped up to the mic. The beginning notes to Chemical Kids rang out and people went crazy.

For the majority of the set, I kept glancing at Kellin and the guys at the merch table. He was happily talking to a group of people and I couldn't help but smile at how adorable he was. soon we were getting ready for the last song of the night.

"Alright guys, this is going to be the last song of the night. Thanks so much for coming out and seeing us. We'll be at our merch table for a little bit right after our set so make sure you come and say hi. This one's called Wonderless" The crowd cheered in response as we began our finale. That's when I spotted the same guys from earlier. They were hanging out over by the merch tables, completely out of place in the rest of the crowd. They seemed to just be here enjoying the show so I figured that they must be parents or something. Whoever they were, they weren't causing problems so I decided to ignore them and not give it too much thought.

The song ended and we thanked the crowd again for coming out and exited the stage. We instantly headed in the direction of the dressing rooms.

"I feel like every set just keeps getting better and better." Jaime announced as we walked through the doors.

"I know right. And the crowds keep getting more rambunctious." Tony ran a towel over his face, chuckling to himself.

"If you think this is rambunctious, wait until warped." Jason added.

"Oh god, I can't wait." I quickly changed into a fresh shirt and waited for the guys. When we were all ready, we headed out to our table. There was already a line of people waiting and our merch guy looked like he was holding the flood gates open. He pretty much booked it when we got there. Kellin and the guys were finishing up at their table and were heading over to us.

We spent the next half hour or so meeting with the fans. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go blind from all the camera flashes, but it was worth it. Besides, it's not like I need to see in order to play guitar and sing so I'm good.

By the time the last of the fans had gone, we were exhausted. Our crew insisted on letting us leave and handling the clean up on their own. We protested, but in the end they won that argument. So the nine of us headed to the bus and dropped into the closest sitting space available. After a while Jesse spoke up.

"Hey did anyone else notice the crownies at the back of the crowd tonight?" Kellin tensed at the question which set off alarms in my head.

"Yeah, but I'm guessing they were parents of some of the kids. I mean, we have a pretty wide age range for fans." Justin added as he laid over the edge of the couch.

"Mhhmmmhmm."

"Tony, you're talking into the pillow." Mike rolled him over so we could hear him.

"They weren't bothering anyone." He mumbled and then rolled back over.

"True, but it seems a little odd." I added. Kellin had been looking at the floor this entire time, but I wasn't sure if it was due to the conversation or if he was just tired.

"What do you think Kellin?" Jack asked, poking him in the side.

"I think I'm going to go to bed." He stood and stretched. "They didn't do anything so I wouldn't worry. G'night guys." He leaned over and gave me a quick peck before heading to the bunks. When he was out of earshot, Jesse turned to me.

"Is he okay?" He whispered. I shrugged my shoulders because I honestly didn't know. A confused look crossed his features before returning to the conversation.

I excused myself and headed back to the bunk area. I walked over to Kellin's bunk and pulled back the covers. He wasn't there. Confused, I went to the back lounge. He wasn't there either. I was beginning to panic slightly as I checked the last place he would be, my bunk. There he was curled up under the covers, snoring slightly. I laughed lightly to myself and climbed in behind him. I placed a kiss to his shoulder and wrapped him tightly in my arms.

"I'm going to protect you Kellin. I promise." I whispered against his neck. He stirred in his sleep, moving back closer against me. It took me a long time to fall asleep. My mind was going over so many different things and refused to shut down. It was early in the morning before I was finally able to fall asleep.

A/N: Hey guys...so no one got kidnapped in this chapter. So what do you think is going to happen? I'm curious to see what your ideas are. Don't be silent readers! Love you XOXO
