Lupe POV;
It was a relaxing slide back into tour, let's be honest here. I spent the rest of the day doing nothing but unpacking, and when sound check came we were the first called, so we finished just as everyone arrived, Jess sneaked in a hug as I left, and I got the feeling that I was always going to be the one that leaves the room first throughout this. Mason and Sam (Guitarist) had become Mayday Parades new best buddies whilst James (Bassist) had become All Time Low's new drinking friend.
Fun.
"Hey, Lupe!" The guys shouted out as they came back, I poked my head out of my bunk and smiled at them,
"Hey, how was mingling?" I asked, trying to look like I cared about the information, and didn't have a needy urge to find out about my previous friends lives,
"It was cool" James grinned, he was at heart, five. "Jack was showing me how he keeps in the game"
'The Game' was a tour-term for the drinking games, this year I'm pretty sure it was a game were you took a drink every turn, and had to say something stupid. If you laughed, you failed.
"Ooooooh" I nodded,
"Hey, why do you always leave?" Mason asked, as they crashed onto our sofa, spreading themselves out,
"Huh?" I murmured, climbing out my bunk and grabbing my drink.
"Whenever we get together with everyone else, you just disappear when you're not needed, it's like you don't wanna be there"
I shrugged, "first day, tired"
He looked at me like he didn't believe a word I said, but didn't probe any further, which I was glad.
"You can sleep all you want when we get offstage tonight" Sam smiled at me, he was a quiet one, but treated me like his errant little sister,
I grinned, "Oh, trust me I know." I winked, "Counting the seconds"
"Aren't you going to the party Alex is throwing on All Time Low's bus?" James snorted, "I know you're a mature older woman, but c'mon, it's gonna kill"
I ran a hand through my hair, "I haven't spoken to them yet"
"Oh, it's good! They're swinging by later, just before we go on, good luck or something"
I froze. Of course. All Time Low had a habit of visiting everyone just before the first show to see how everyone was holding up. Just what I needed. "Oh, yeah I remember" I said vaguely, walking into the back room to change.
"You think something's up with her?" Sam asked the other guys when I'd closed the door, the ever caring member of this outfit, "I mean, haven't you guys noticed how she freezes when you mention All Time Low?"
"Yeah, she did it earlier with Jess too" Mason injected,
"And she wouldn't look at their tour bus when we left earlier" James added, "It was weird, because she looked everywhere, but there"
Thanks James. Thanks a lot.
"Maybe we should ask them? They might know what's up, or how to fix it" Sam continued, "I'd hate to see her this way all tour. She loved touring when we first got together. Not that much can change in less than three months"
There must've been some kind of nodding in agreement because I heard nothing more on it, and then they switched to talking about sports. Typical.
A/N;
Yeah I'm updating today too. I really really wanna get back into a pattern. This story needs to get through a few boring chapters, like now, to get to the good stuff. I'm sorry:)
Hey Kelsey, I heart you, and no, I'm not leaving again. I promise!
