My Only Retreat

Warped Tour : A place full of mistakes

I woke up to my door swinging open and slamming against the wall. "Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, dear Amy! Happy Birthday to you!! cha-cha-cha!" My family sang to me. I laughed at the cha-cha-cha.  It's been 2 weeks since Emma and Vic decided to adopt my brothers and I. I already considered them my family. Vic and Emma lowered a plate stacked with pancakes. I blew out my 16 birthday candles and made a wish. It was for this to never end. 

"Get dressed and pack your things. We are headed to Warped Tour today!" Vic said leaving me to eat my birthday pancakes. Vic and Emma walked out and my brothers stayed behind. 

"Help me finish these pancakes. There's no way I can finish all these on my own!" I exclaimed to my brothers. They ran downstairs and got forks and ran back up. I heard a loud thump from the hallway. I chuckled a little knowing that one of them must have tripped. They helped me finish the pancakes and we started throwing stuff into the suitcases laying on the floor. 

After we made a gigantic mess, we started to fold our clothes in the suitcases and closed them up. Soon the mess was gone and the room looked somewhat clean again. We lugged our suitcases down the steps. The suitcases made thud sounds as they were pulled down each step. I looked back at my brothers who were struggling and still near the top of the steps. I chuckled then I put my suitcase near the door and ran to help them out.  

Finally, we were all done. "Finally, you're done." Vic said jokingly to Emma then kissed her. She gave him a friendly punch on his arm. We loaded the bus with our suitcases. It just hit me that I was going to Warped Tour with Pierce the Veil.

We finally arrived at the first venue after like a 5 hour drive. "We have arrived!" Vic said stretching his arms out. My legs needed to breath. I got out and stretched. I think if my legs could speak they would be screaming hallelujah. My brothers were passed out in the bus. We all helped unload the equipment on to the main stage and left my brothers to sleep. 

After we unloaded and set up everything, Vic told me that he was going to his sound check and that I should go around and meet the other bands. So I went around meeting all the bands. It was a nice break to clear my mind too since I didn't have to worry about my brothers who were still fast asleep on the bus. I can't believe they are still asleep. 

I had already ran into Blood on the Dance Floor, Sleeping with Sirens, and Mayday Parade. Most of the bands were still setting stuff up and doing sound checks so I only met a few bands so far. I saw my brothers walking off our bus and talking to this guy I couldn't recognize. I stared at them and kept walking forward then I felt I crashed into someone. 

"Sorry about that." I said. I looked up and saw Oliver Sykes from Bring Me the Horizon. I gasped in shock. I loved their band. 

"Oi. No it's my fault, love." he said in his amazing accented voice. "So what's your name?" 

"Amy. Amy Jones." I said smiling. 

"Hey Amy. I'm Oli-" 

"Oliver Sykes. I really like your music" I cut him off. I stuck out my hand for him to shake but he just looked down at it like I was from another planet. 

"What are we business partners?" he asked pulling me into a hug. I was a little shocked and I froze for a moment then I hugged back. He pulled me back still keeping his hands on my shoulders then asked if I wanted to hang out for awhile. I just nodded. I had nothing better to do anyways. So he led me to the BMTH bus. No one else was around. I was curious where the other band members were. 

"Where is the rest of the band?" I finally asked. The curiosity was killing me for some reason. I didn't want to be alone with someone I barely knew I guess. Oliver just shrugged. Nice Answer. He grabbed the remote and sat down while turning on the tv. He patted the spot on the couch next to him. I was a bit hesitant but then I sat down. 

He couldn't try anything on me, right? I was like 10 years younger then him. He wouldn't do that or would he? Questions filled my head to the brim. I took three deep breaths trying to calm myself down then I felt an arm touch my shoulder. I looked back and his arm was around me. Maybe I was wrong about him. I quickly got up. 

"Uhm. I gotta use the bathroom." I said quickly and nervously. I hoped he didn't notice that I was nervous. I locked myself in the bathroom then washed my face with cold water. I looked up into the mirror and told myself to calm down. I wiped my face off then unlocked the door slowly and opened it. 

I opened and there was Oliver. He looked down at me and leaned forward. oh god no. please no. (A/N: just in case you didn't catch on, the italicized words are Amy's thoughts) He started to lean closer while looking down at my lips. How could you kiss someone you just met? please be a dream. please? As he got closer, I closed my eyes and opened them. Ok, this isn't a dream. Why couldn't I stop him? Why can't I move? His lips pressed against mine. I paused then started to kissed back. I couldn't help myself. Soon he slipped his tongue into my mouth. My lips were moving in synch with his. He leaned his arm against the wall and leaned in more, closing all space between us. 

I finally found enough strength and slid my back down the wall, crawled through his legs, and ran out the bus. What was I thinking? Emma and Vic are going kill me. Man, and they were nice enough to adopt me and give my brothers and I a loving home. Not to mention, Oliver is like 10 years older than me. Oh god I'm a dead girl walking. I looked back making sure Oliver wasn't following me. He wasn't. I brought my hand up to my lips and gently touched them. I started to blush. Even though I was probably going to be in a huge pile of trouble when Vic and Emma heard (which wasn't going to be from me), I can't believe I kissed Oliver Sykes.
