Hey... Sorry for taking a long time and this will probably be the crappiest chapter I've written so far. If you haven't read, I started crappy oneshots! Check them out if you'd like. It's called Hung Up and Chloe; they're based on songs. I'm writing another one which would be titled... *drumroll* Lucy. (Based on the song by Skillet.) I suggest you listen to the song, it's just too damn beautiful. It makes me cry. Um, okay... To the chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or any bands mentioned in this or future chapters. Nor do I own whatever tour name I mention.
Nudge's POV (22:05)
"Where should I put him?"
"Um… The trunk?"
"Do you want him to suffocate to death?"
"He's drunk anyway."
"Still means he could die, Nudge."
"Maybe we should tie him to the roof…"
"He could slide off and die."
"Tie the rope tightly."
"He could still slide off and die."
"Glue him to the roof."
"One, we have no glue and two, are you seriously considering gluing a bunch of eighteen year old guys to the roof of a car?"
"We could pile them up in the seats."
"Then they would be suffocating each other," Calum said.
"And die," Luke added.
"What is it with you and death?"
Luke shrugged, "No idea. They're all unconscious right?"
Michael, who was leaning against Luke's car next to Iggy, slapped him. "He's out cold."
"Good," Luke said. "I don't want him puking in my car. What about the rest?"
Calum nudged Dylan with his shoe, "Same here. He isn't waking up anytime soon…"
"I'm not even sure they're breathing…"
"Let's just get them in the car," Ashton said. "But how?"
"You know what? Let's just throw them in," I suggested.
"Okay then," Michael picked up Iggy and threw him into the car. Ashton picked up Dylan next and threw him in next to an unconscious Iggy. Luke tried throwing Fang in, which he failed in; Fang ended up on the ground.
"Well, that's gonna hurt in the morning…"
"Let me do it," Ashton offered. Despite being the youngest and having a babyish face, Ashton was the strongest of the four guys considering he could throw Fang into a car. And Fang was one heavy guy.
"Who's gonna carry in Gazzy?"
"Wait… Where's Gazzy?" I asked, looking around us to find the spot Gazzy was in empty.
"Well, sh*t."
23:00
"Wait, right or left?" Calum asked from the driver's seat.
"Right. Then at the intersection, go left and from there turn right."
"What intersection?"
"Calum…"
"Yeah?"
"Wrong turn."
"What?"
"You turned left."
"I did?"
"Yeah, you did."
"What now?"
"Go back and turn right," I told him. "Everyone still alive back there?"
"I think," Ashton answered. "I'm not so sure about Iggy…"
"Check his pulse, duh…"
"He's alive."
"Oh God… Could you kill him?"
"Sorry, ending up in jail isn't a part of my life plan," Ashton said.
"Nudge, what now?" Calum asked.
"Turn right here," I said. "Okay, take a left here. Watch out for that kid, now turn left and go straight ahead until you see a left turn."
"God, your house is complicated."
"I know… What time is it?"
"Like… Eleven something," Ashton answered.
"Hey, is Fang awake?"
"Um," Luke turned his head to look at Fang. "No."
"Oh, God… I am so dead and so are they…"
"Calm down…" Calum said. "Is this your house?"
"Yeah," I said. "Thanks for the ride…"
"Need help with them?" Ashton asked, gesturing at the guys.
"Ugh," I groaned. "Sure…"
08:03
I knocked on the guest bedroom door, "Are you guys awake yet?"
The door clicked open to reveal a half asleep and shirtless Ashton. Well sh*t, he's hot. "We're up…"
"Oh… Hey, where's the rest?"
Ashton rubbed his eyes sleepily, "Michael's in the bathroom, Calum's trying to get Michael to hurry up and Luke's still asleep…" Before I could reply, we heard a loud crash from upstairs. "What was that?"
"I better go check it out." I ran up the stairs with Ashton slowly trailing behind me like a zombie. My first suspicion of the crash would be Iggy. I walked towards Iggy's bedroom and opened the door slightly. "JESUS CHRIST, IGGY! Put some clothes on!"
"Iggy's naked?" Ashton asked.
"Yes… Since it's probably not him so, Gazzy's next." Gazzy was still asleep in the exact same position as last night when we threw him on one of the guest bedrooms' bed. Dylan was puking in the trashcan next to his bed when we got to him. He was wearing a neon pink sweater that somehow we didn't notice last night.
"Dylan, you okay?"
Dylan looked up from his trashcan and shook his head, "No… I need aspirin."
"Did you fall off your bed?" Dylan nodded. "I'm gonna go check on Fang and I think we ran out of aspirin. Go check with Iggy." I shut the door behind me and walked towards Fang's door.
I knocked on his door, "Fang?"
The door creaked when Fang opened it. Long story short, Fang looked like sh*t.
"What?"
"Oh, good you're-"
"Nudge, who's this?" Fang asked, eyeing Ashton suspiciously.
"He's the guy who drove you guys home last night."
"You brought a guy home?" Fang asked, his eyebrows raised.
"Four actually," Ashton muttered.
"Four guys, Nudge?"
I elbowed Ashton, "Not helping."
"Well, Nudge?"
"The rest are in the guest bedroom…"
"And he's shirtless because…?"
"He slept that way…? I don't know, ask him."
"Okay, whatever ," Fang sighed. "How's the rest of the guys doing?"
"Gazzy's still asleep, Dylan was puking and Iggy was," I paused. "Naked."
"Iggy was what?"
"Naked. I think you should go get Iggy…" I suggested. "Do we have any aspirin left?"
"No, Iggy took every single one the last time we came back," Fang replied, already making his way to Iggy's room.
"Dylan needs some, I'm gonna go make breakfast. Good luck, Fang!" Fang grunted loudly in response.
(11:09)
"How is Fang not hung-over in the morning?" Ashton asked, taking a sip from his cup of coffee.
"Yeah," Calum nodded. "I'd usually be puking in the morning."
I shrugged, "I don't know. High alcohol tolerance maybe?"
"Wait… Where are they?"
"Somewhere in the house."
"Obviously."
"Fang's in the basement, Iggy's in the bathroom, Dylan's using the other bathroom and there's Gazzy." They all turned their heads towards the stairs where Gazzy, still looking like sh*t but a bit better, was walking.
"Hey, Gazzy! Eat up."
He groaned, "Could you not talk so loud?"
"Hurts like a b*tch doesn't it?"
"Yeah," Gazzy nodded. "I'm never drinking again."
"That's what you said last time."
"I mean it this time," Gazzy said, sitting down next to Luke on the dining table. "Hey, who are you guys?"
"They drove us home last night."
"Oh, thanks," Gazzy said.
"No problem, I'm Luke."
"I'm Calum," Calum introduced himself.
"Ashton. Michael's in the bathroom."
"That guy with purple hair?"
"Yup, that one."
"Some hair he's got going on there…" Gazzy muttered. "He'd get along well with Dylan."
"What?" we heard Dylan tripping down the stairs. "Oh God, I regret everything…"
"Morning, Dyl. Got your aspirin?"
"Yeah, thanks…" Dylan said, making his way towards the couch. "I don't wanna live anymore."
"Blame Iggy," Gazzy said. "He took us to Omega's place…"
"Where are Iggy and Fang?"
"Right here," Fang replied from the stairs.
Gazzy glanced behind his shoulder at Fang and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "Why don't you look like sh*t?"
"I wear black. It's easier cause they're all the same and you don't have to match this and that."
"And you're not getting headaches or some sh*t?"
"I feel like I got ran over by a truck over and over again, "Fang replied. "What happened last night?"
"We sort of threw you guys in a car," I replied. "And piled you all up."
"No wonder my back hurts like hell…" Gazzy muttered.
"God… Was I at the bottom? I think my bones are broken here and there," Dylan said.
"Nah," I replied. "Iggy was. You were second."
"Fang was on top of me?"
"Yeah."
"Oh God…" Dylan groaned and turned to Fang. "Dude, you need to lose weight."
"Then what about me?" Fang groaned. "My back hurts like hell."
"Well… We may or may not have dropped you…" Luke muttered.
"On the ground," Calum added.
"And Gazzy was on top of you," I said.
"You dropped me on the ground?" Fang asked.
"You were heavy," I replied. "Dylan's right, you do need to lose weight."
"So who got me in the car?"
"Ashton did," Calum said, taking a bite out of his pancakes.
"Oh, pancakes… Who made it?"
"I did," Luke answered. Fang and Gazzy looked at him suspiciously. "What?"
"I would've had Iggy do it," I said. "But he would probably puke on the batter and I still couldn't cook so Luke it is."
"Hey, this is pretty good…"
(15:39)
"Thanks for yesterday," I said.
"Yeah, no problem!" Luke yelled from the car. "Bye!"
I waved at them before walking back into the house to find Fang staring at me. "What?"
"So… You brought home four guys?"
"Oh my God," I groaned. "Sometimes I wish alcohol actually has an effect on you…"
"Well?"
"Yes, I did. We got here at one in the morning and they helped us."
"So…?"
"I can't exactly let them drive at one in the morning!"
"Okay, whatever," Fang sighed. "That Ashton kid's got a thing for you."
"What?"
"And so does Iggy," Fang said.
"Are you seriously doing this to me now?"
Fang shrugged, "Maybe."
"Okay then," I replied. "I'm gonna go hang out with Ella. Bye, Fang!"
"We are not done with this conversation!"
Fang's POV
"Look," Sam started. "Blame Josh."
Dylan groaned, "What tour is this anyway?"
"Warped Tour," Sam said. "Only about twenty other bands have been announced." (1)
"Really?" Gazzy asked, still sitting upside down on the couch. "Who are they?"
"Wait," Sam said, taking out his phone. "They've updated the list. There's Of Mice & Men…"
"Oh, Alan's gonna be there?" Iggy asked, suddenly interested.
"What? You're gonna go girl hunting again?"
"Duh, yes."
"I thought you liked my sister."
"Didn't you say it was against the bro code?"
"But still, don't you?"
"I do but she's got that Ashton kid and I'm gonna get over her before it becomes another song," Iggy explained.
"Good for you, Ig."
"Are you done?" Sam asked. "Okay, the second one would be Asking Alexandria."
"I have a feeling I'm gonna like this tour," Iggy added.
"Then there's The Story So Far, Neck Deep, Parkway Drive, A Skylit Drive, Motionless In White-"
"TJ!" Iggy yelled.
Sam sighed, "God, why? Then there's Pierce the Veil, Bring Me The Horizon, Sleeping With Sirens, Real Friends, The Ready Set, We The Kings, All Time Low, Attila, Beartooth, Bowling For Soup, Born of Osiris, Chelsea Grin, Ghost Town, Get Scared, For All Those Sleeping, Secrets, Icon For Hire, Ice Nine Kills, Tonight Alive, The Pretty Reckless, The Word Alive, We Are The In Crowd-"
"Taylor's gonna be there?" Iggy asked. "I like her." (2)
"One OK Rock and oh, DJs. There's DJ Scout, Nicola Bear… And then there's 3OH!3-"
"Oh, I love those guys."
"The Maine, The Devil Wears Prada, Cute Is What We Aim For, Falling In Reverse, Mayday Parade, Crown The Empire, Blessthefall and… They haven't announced the rest yet."
"When's this tour?"
"Um… About a month from now?"
"Okay… In the meantime, we're gonna do local shows."
Gazzy groaned, "What? Why?"
"We're not just gonna pop up in Warped out of nowhere. In fact, let's do one of those live show things. Spread the word."
1: The real Vans Warped Tour kicks off in three weeks and most of the bands I mentioned up there are performing. Mostly, but not all. More information, if you're curious, on the real website; bands for whoever bands are performing.
2: Everyone's gonna be younger than they're supposed to be. Most of them anyway. Starting from this chapter, real bands are gonna be mentioned and used a lot. So, to fit the story, their ages are gonna be changed; especially those who play big parts. If you wanna know, most of them are above twenty except for the 5SOS guys. And after Warped Tour in this story, most of the members would be mentioned only once or twice. Once the tour kicks off in the story in a month, the story will focus more into the guys with a little Max here and there. And by Taylor, I meant Tay Jardine, not Taylor Momsen or any other Taylors you were thinking about...
The past chapter, this one and a few more ahead will focus on Nudge, Iggy and Ashton. 'Cause they play a big part in the plot and all. But after that, it's all Fax... and other stuff here and there. Sorry for the crappy chapter, I'll maybe come back and edit it later... Thanks for reading!
