Someday? Never?

Are You Gonna Go My Way?

Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to, got to know
Are you gonna go my way?
'Cause, baby, I got to know
Yeah

They had a standing ovation from everyone when they finished their set. Myles was side stage and very impressed. It was different when viewing everything in person. He high fived the girls as they got off stage and said his congratulations. Their dressing room was basically the same room as Alter Bridge's, just split down the middle, so they headed in the same direction.

Alter Bridge still had 15-20 minutes before they went on because Demiurgic's crew was still taking their set apart. The dressing rooms were actually one big locker room separated by a huge sheet, so everyone could hear what was going on. Unfortunately, the shower was on Alter Bridge's side, so they had to wait until they left for their set before they could get showered and changed.

They decided to get packed up in the meantime and play some music. Estelle was in charge of the aux cord and she had her library on shuffle. They listened to Sevendust, The Isley Brothers, John Legend, Kirk Franklin, Phil Collins and more. Back That Ass Up was playing and the girls were twerking as they packed up and tossed stuff around. Mark had popped his head in to tell them that the shower was available. He'd never seen anyone twerk before so he was mesmerized before he snapped himself out of it to say what he had to say.

"Uh girls?"

They couldn't hear him over the music and the screams of "AYYYE" as Estelle was doing a handstand and twerking on the wall. He was amazed at how much her ass was moving. He bit his lip as Flip came up behind him and followed Mark's line of vision.

Mark could feel his pants tightening, so he slyly held his beer bottle in front of himself and shook his head. He slipped out of there before he embarrassed himself any more. Flip chuckled a bit before doing what Mark set out to do. By this time, the girls were singing Jesus Paid It All by Kirk Franklin at the top of their lungs.

Flip cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled, "Hey ladies!"

Isabelle turned around and turned down the music.

"Hey Flip, what's up?"

"Just wanted to tell you that we're heading out and the shower's free," he smiled, "you guys sound great by the way."

Estelle laughed, "Thanks. Good luck out there."

"Thanks," he smiled.

The girls took the party to the showers and got in and out quickly to watch some of the show. They managed to make it in enough time for three more songs. Brielle and Isabelle went side stage, but Estelle went into the crowd to watch from there. Thankfully no one recognized her in her beanie and glasses. She managed to make her way to the rail with ease. As short as she was, there were plenty of people willing to let her in front of them.

Mark looked side stage when he saw movement in the corner of his eye. He was visibly disappointed when he saw that Estelle wasn't watching him. Isabelle saw the look on his face and pointed out to the crowd. Mark saw her front and center and smiled at her as they went into the last song, Open Your Eyes.

Estelle was a true fan and she was singing along with everyone. When they ended their set, it was going on 10:30, which meant that they had about 30 minutes or less to get cleaned up, packed and ready to go. Demiurgic had already gotten their things loaded up on the buses, trailers, and vans, so they watched as Alter Bridge's crew scrambled around so they wouldn't have to pay an extra thousand bucks for not being out on time. They got their guys to help out without any protest.

As they headed to their bus, they ran into Mark and Brian. Brian was smoking a cigarette as Mark was talking to him. He'd offer his two cents every now and again, but Brian was a man of few words.
