Jason did his background part, mostly just repeating saying 'hey', and finished his guitar part, and the girls went wild.
"Thank you guys so much, we love you all," Shane said, the girls screamed louder. The boys bowed respectfully and walked off stage to the waiting table.
"Awesome, more meet'n'greets," Shane grinned, picking up a permanent marker and writing on his hand to test to see if it would work.
"Don't do that Shane, you'll get ink poisoning," Jason warned, standing next him. Shane looked at him with wide eyes and then looked back at his hand.
"Wow… from one little black marker…" he gushed, "This thing should to sit on a throne."
"Calm down Shane, it's just a marker," Nate grinned, pushing Shane's hand down in case he poked himself in the eye. They waited patiently for the door to open, and in next to no time, it opened and wide-eyes beaming fan girl walked through the door opened by the security guard. Jason was closest to the door and was hugged first.
"We love your music," the first girl gushed, "could you sign this?" She asked Jason.
"I'd love to." He popped off the lid of his marker and started signing away.
After half an hour the long line of girls slowly thinned to nothing, Jason put the lid on his marker and stretched.
"Another day over," Shane sighed, flexing his wrist. Big Rob guided them to their car and they stepped inside, Shane and Nate taking the back seat with Jason on the other seat facing them.
"It'll be great to get to the bus and get some sleep," Nate sighed, resting his head against the car window, regardless of all the shudders from the road making the car quaver peacefully. Jason nodded and Shane just yawned in agreement.
It was very dark out when the car stopped. Shane and Nate had fallen asleep with Jason watching over them and thinking deeply. Jason looked up as the car stopped and the sliding door to his left opened. Nate woke up and nudged Shane slightly, he woke too.
"Did we have to park so far away?" Shane grumbled as Jason unlocked the bus door. Jason stepped aside to let his brothers in and bade the bus driver goodnight before closing the door behind him.
"Alright, whose turn was it to do the dishes?" Jason groaned as he saw the sink, Shane and Nate made inaudible mumbles and marched in a line to their waiting beds. Jason rolled his eyes. "Well, they aren't going to do themselves," Jason muttered to himself as he rolled up his sleeves and ducked down to find the dishwashing liquid.
Half an hour later Jason drained the sink and rubbed his eyes, he was completely exhausted but since his body was already pumping out too much energy, he was sure he wasn't going to get any sleep for a while.
"Jason, y'awake?" Nate called sleepily as his brother changed in the darkness.
"Yeah, go back to sleep," Jason replied, tugging at his bandanna around his neck and pulling off his shirt.
"Why're you up?" Nate asked.
"I haven't been to sleep, someone unmentionable forgot to do the dishes so I had to."
"Sorry Jason, if it was my night to do them I would've done them before we left. Shane will have to do one of your chores in the morning."
"Don't even worry about it, he is just tired. I'll get over it." Nate gave a hearty yawn and snuggled back into his blankets. Jason smiled and shook his head as he scrambled into his own bed, thoughts still buzzing around in his mind.
Jason woke to find it was still dark. He reached over to his little portable bedside table and grabbed his phone, which said it was 3am.
"You've got to be joking," he sighed, now fully awake by the light from his phone. He stood up and walked down to the mini fridge to get a drink when he realized the bus was going a bit awry.
Jason rushed to the front of the bus and, to his horror; the bus driver had fallen asleep at the wheel. Jason ran to the bus door and opened it, to find that they were still going pretty fast; the driver must still have his foot on the accelerator!
"Wake up! You have to wake up; you're still driving the bus!" He yelled to the driver, but he didn't wake. Jason pressed his fingers to the driver's neck, he was still alive. The bus jolted violently and Jason fell forwards, his body landed on the steering wheel and his hand fell against the button that opened the door. When he fell, he made the wheel move, and the bus moved so violently Jason was flung out of the bus, he would have smashed against the bus door, if it was closed.
