Chapter 6: Asshole
Alex's POVWe were sitting in the back of the bus while Jack talked to Mel. We heard everything she told Jack and she knew it and as Jack ended saying that we all be there for her she raised her voice and said 'Thank you.'
Jack came in 'She want's to sleep a little so .. what should we do now ?'
'I think we can hang out at the GC bus. The guys wouldn't mind us hanging around. Actually Benj just wrote if we didn't want to hang a little.'Rian said.
So we all got up and went out the bus walking the few feet to the GC bus which stood right behind ours.
As we entered the guys all greeted us and we took seats in the back because there is more space for all of us to fit in.
'Do you guys want anything to drink ? We have like everything you wish for in here.' Billy asked. ' I would like a shot of Tequila.' I answered and the others like my idea so they ordered one for themselves.
You know tour-life can be really hard. Not in the USA because it's almost the same time everywhere or at least just a few hpurs between but when you go to Europe, you will have a terible jat leg. But as we are in the USA it isn't that bad I mean it's 10 p.m and we just started drinking that will be fun.
After an half of an hour Paul asked out of nowhere 'Where is Mel ?' ' We left her alone at our bus cause she had a rough evenin and she wanted to sleep a little.' I answered babbling.
I had way to much to drink but we kept on. The only one still not drunk was Jack which was pretty wired because normaly he is the first one who is drunk. Maybe he is just worried about Mel which I was alittle while ago but in my state I can barely remember why. All of a sudden Benji babbled 'Mel is kinda hot !' 'Yeah she's.' we all agreed. Man that will be fun hanging around these guys with Mel.
I wonder if Benji will try to get her,when he is involved noone but him get the girls. I don't know why but it's always like that. I mean I'm pretty narcissistic and I know that I'm kinda hot but man Benji is just one of these shy guys who won't get a right sentence out infront of a hot girl but he'll end up with those girls. If you take a look at Benji you won't say that he's shy. He's got most of his body tattooed, wears expensive clothes and
jewelry. But I know him for almost 5 years now and I know that he is. Like the times when he has to perform ``Emotionless`` on stage with an acustic guitare and without Joel supporting his singing. He would always look down to the ground while singing and playing without looking up to meet the audience. Anyway back to Jack who is very quiet for a while now.
'Jack whasp ?' I asked. 'I'm just worried about Mel, I wonder if she is alright because that ass will be around the whole tour.' 'Just go n asked her man.' 'Okay be right back.' He said and was gone.
Jack's POV
While walking back to our bus I wondered if Benji will try to get with Mel. I mean he is single at the moment so he could try it. But I discard that thought as I entered our bus. I heard the TV in the back so I walked there to find Mel crying and let me tell you why : She was watching Titanic… it was close to the end where Leonardo Dicaprio dies. I just tought GOD DAMMIT the right film when you are thinking about an broken relationship.
And I was wondering where the hell that movie comes from because I'm pretty sure we don't have it on the bus.
I sat down behind her, as she was sitting sideways on the couch so she could face the TV, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulled her to my chest. She cuddled into me and cried her eyes out. Pretty sure she wasn't just crying because of the movie 'What can I do so you feel better ?' 'Just hold me.' She said between sobs. I did as I was told and soon she fell asleep. I carried her to her bunk and pulled up the blanket. She smiled in her dreams and I was damn happy about that. At least she doesn't have to worry about anything in her dreams.
Walking back to the GC bus I took a beer out of our fridge and drank it in like 30 seconds.
As I re-entered the other bus, I heard people laughing and screaming, well hat is pretty normal. The guys were sitting in a circle at the ground so they could face eachother.
I sat down next to Alex 'Whatcha guys doin ?' 'We are playing truth or dare.' Joel answered.
Oh god dammit I should've stayed in our bus.
Truth or dare on touris a little different to the one you would play at home. This one is about drinking much alcohol and answering stupid questions like `` When did you had your first sex``- stuff. But I didn't want to be much more in thoughts about Mel especially she was sleepin in our bus which was locked and no one but us have the keys. Looking around at all the guys I was asked by Paul 'Truth or dare ?' 'Dare.' 'Take 5 shots of Tequila.'
I did what I was dared to, as I finished the 5th one I felt dizzy, yeah doesn't take much to get me drunk.
'Rian, truth or dare ?' I asked because it was my turn now. 'Truth.' 'Are you dating Cassade Pope from Hey Monday ?' That was one of the questions everyone knews the answere because 1st it's damn obvious that they are and 2nd I couldn't find a question to which I didn't know the answere because I spend 365 days with this guys.
'Yes I'm' Rian answered lightly blushing.
The game went on like that until it was Benji's turn to pick one 'Alex, truth or dare ?'
He asked 'Dare' I could tell by Benji's face that he did expected that and put on a devilish grin. 'Good choice man. I dare you to kiss Jack with tongue.' I wasn't surprised about that.
The guys knew that Aex and I made out once while we were drunk, like really drunk. Now they have fun by letting us do that again and again. It's part of every ´´Truth or dare´´- game we play.
Enough complaining now, I man who doesn't kiss his best friend once in a while right ?
It's not discusting to kiss Alex. He is a good kisser but that's one of the reasons for the Jalex stories. I really don't know why our fans think that Alex and I are dating secretly. Oh well, Alex and I kissed for a second and the game went on but after a while it got boring.
Some time later we all said our goodbyes, my band and I left the GC bus to go back to our own when this guy Tyler came across our way. 'Hey suckers, the next time I'm talking to Mel and you guys interrupt I will kick your asses.'
Did I tell you that Zack is much more aggressive when he is drunk ? That guy deffinitly picked the wrong time to tell us off because Zack was already pissed because of him. If he opens his mouth again he might get into trouble. 'You guys really suck.. You really think that the crap you do is music ?'
Zack jumped forward and grabbed the collar of Tyler's shirt while pushing him down to the ground, he punshed him right on the nose…You could hear a crack… That means Tyler's nose is broken.
He shouldn't have said crap about our music because now all of us were silled with hate, so we punshed him one last time and left him whining on the ground.
'Good job guys.' Zack said holding up his hand and we all gave him a high-five. After we climped on the bus, we went to sleep.
Mel's POVI woke up the next morning to someone making noise in the kitchen. So I got out of my bunk and as I entered the kitchen I saw Alex searchng for somethingin the cabinets.
Jumping on his back 'Good morning beauty.' I said in a sing-song voice.
'Oh fuck Mel, can you please be quiet ?' 'What's up Alex ?' 'Terrible headach.'
Was his simple answere. 'Ah so you were wasted last night ?' 'Not just me the others aswell so you will have to deal with nine moody guys today if we don't have Aspirin or something that kills the pain.' 'Why nine guys ?' 'Because Gc are going to hang with us for the rest of the tour.' 'The Aspirin is in the cabinet on the left sweety.''Ahh but I have searched in there aswell.' 'Step aside.' I searched in the back and finally found 4 boxes, pulling them out I asked. 'Do you plan on getting wasted every night ?' 'Well let's say, when we are on tour we drink a lot.'
Alex took two pills and laid down on the couch. I went to the fridge to find some food but just found milk, red bull and beer. 'Uhm what do you guys eat when you're sick of PB&J sanwichs ?' ' We ask Rian to make pancakes or eat lucky charms with milk. Why ?'
'Because you don't have anything to eat in here.' 'Yeah we always sending Matt to get us dinner or put on our sunglases and go find a mc donalds.' As he ended his sentence I heard someone falling onto the floor, so I ran back to the bunk area just to find that Zack fell out of his bunk while sleeping. I couldn't help but crack a smile while he muttered under his breath.
'You're okay ?' 'Oh god damn, don't you ever do this again. You scared me to death.'
'If I've scared you to death, why are you still moving then ?' 'That's not funny!'
'Oh I see what Alex meant when he talked about moody boys.' 'Did he found the Aspirin?'
'Yes he d….' I was cut of by Zack running out.
Rian and Jack woke up an half of an hour later, of course both with a terrible headach. That's the reason I don't drink that much lately or maybe I'm afraid to do something stupid that I will regret later. By now the guys had enough painkillers in their blood and the moody boys turned to be the old silly once again. Right now I'm sittig in the backlounge watching MTV.
I didn't hear the door open but suddenly I was attacked with a hug by Rian. 'You sang awesome yesterday.' 'Uhm, thanks I guess ?' 'That sounds like you don't trust me and my words.' He says pouting. 'Sure I turst you but I just don't believe you.' 'Well then believe and trust me. The fansloved you singing, they gave you a standing ovation.' 'That meight be because they were standing the whole time Rian.''Well yes, but see what I want to tell you is that you really need to trust yourself. You're a wonderful person, don't let youself down because of self-confident issues and an asshole.' 'That's nice Rian.' I said an hugged him again. 'Now my question is :Would you please sing Remembering Sunday at every show we play at this tour ?' 'I don't know if the others are down with this idea..' 'GUYS ? Would you like Mel singing Remembering Sunday at every show ?' 'Of course !' they all yelled simultaneously from the kitchen. 'Fine I will do it !' I gave in. 'YES baby that will be great shows !'
What did I get myself into now again? Was all I thought.
