Both Sides of the story (Jordan Eckes)

CHAPTER 4

DAY 6 OF WARPED TOUR

Another day of work on le Vans Warped Tour. The last few days have been extremely fun and hot. Today we are in Las Vegas, Nevada and it is going to be triple degrees today. When I jumped out of my bunk, the boys had two eggs and were walking out of the bus door. Instantly, I knew what they were going to try and do. I followed them outisde and saw Hunter crack open the first egg and let it fall to the concrete. Instantly, it started sizzling. Thats when Asher took the other egg and cracked it open too. It did the same thing as the first egg. I need today was gonna be like walking into the gateways of hell, so I put my hair in a ponytail, put extra sunblock on, and wore a bandana around my forehead so sweat doesn't get in my eyes. We didn't have a signing today so instead, I walked over to the WATIC bus and knocked on the door. Rob answered the door in his boxers and a tank top that has some spilled on it.

"Hey Riley, Jordan is in the bathroom right now but you can come in if you'd like", Rob rubbed his eyes and covered them from the sun.

"I'm actually here for Tay", speaking of Tay, she comes to the door fully dressed and everything.

"Hey Riley, Jordan is just in the bathroom. Come in", I laughed at the fact everyone thought I was here for Jordan.

"I'm actually here for you, I was thinking that we can go to the Target a couple blocks away before the doors open.

"Uh yea sure.", she slipped her sunglasses on and stepped out of the bus.

"Jesus it is hot outside", Tay pretended to fan herself.

"That's the only reason I wanna go to Target. Since today is extremely hot, I was thinking that we can get water guns and spray the crowd during some songs so they don't over heat", Tay looked over at me.

"That's a great Idea, didn't know why I didn't think of that sooner."

-------------------------------------------------------

When we got to Target, Tay and I both got 3 water guns each.  It was insane on how many water guns they had. There was rack upon rack filled with at least 3 types of water guns. We decided to get the water guns that could hold the msot amount of water, so we didn't have to keep going backstage to refill the tank. Afterwards, we checked out and started walking back to the venue.

"So what's going on with you and Jordan", Tay said to breaking the silence.

"I mean we hang out alot, nothing other than that", I looked at the ground and kept walking.

"Are you sure there isn't anything else you want to tell me?" Tay nudged me with her elbow.

"There isn't anything else to tell," Tay stopped walking and turned to me. I kept staring at the ground.

"That's total bullshit. I know you like him. Me and the guys also think he likes you too but he won't admit it", I shook my head.

"He can't like me, I mean he can, but that's not my point", I put the Target bag down and sat on the sidewalk.

"I mean it wouldn't hurt to ask him", I looked at her shocked.

"Hell no, I don't have the balls to ask Jordan if he likes me. I don't even know how to properly flirt with a guy let alone ask him if he has a major crush on me", Tay picked up her bags and I did the same.

"I guess we'll have to find out one day", We started to walk back, this time in silence.

When we were close to the venue, I called Carter.

"Hello?"

"Carter it's Riley, I need a large bucket full of ice water ASAP. Bring it backstage at the Journey's stage", I hung up the phone and we flashed our passes to the guards. We had about 25 minutes to get ready and fill the water guns. When we arrived backstage, Carter was there with a large bucket filled with ice water that was requested by the one and only. Tay and I started to take the water guns out of their package and unscrewed the water tanks. Once they were all filled up, Tay ran out onstage to perform. WATIC played their normal set, but during Attention, Carter, Jordan from the Ready Set, and I started to spray the crowd with the water guns that we bought earlier. All of a sudden, the crowd got hype. There were more crowd surfers and everyone was off their feet. We somehow managed to get other people to join the crowd.
