Beautiful Apparation (Tony Perry FF)

twenty-six

So the concert ended, but the party didn't. Not once in my life have I been to a tour bus party, I never realized how much I was missing out on. Yea, it's crowded, but it's also intimate. There's hardly any space so you're practically forced to talk to everyone, which I don't mind. Everyone here is amazing.

I'm currently sitting in the back lounge between Tyler and Lynn. We talk about a bunch of random things, time passes and I can feel a buzz coming on. Austin Carlile has been making drinks for everyone and it's finally getting to me. I would have refused all of the red cups filled with regret, but how could I? I didn't want to seem like a buzzkill.

Danielle emerges, squeezing between Lynn and I. Lynn looks fine with it since they are getting closer. Hell, all of my co-workers like hanging with her, she's a really likable person. That's what makes it so hard to try and run from her.

If only she was single, Jeff told me earlier. I almost puked.

"What's going on over here?" She asks smiling.

"Same as everything else in this bus, drunk conversations," Tyler chuckles.

"My favorite." She laughs, resting her head on my shoulder, her fiery hair nearly getting caught in my mouth. By her scent I can tell she did more than drink tonight. Vic isn't on high alert though, he's having just as much fun as anyone else on this bus. He's currently in the middle of a chugging contest with Jordan Fish. I'm just relieved to see him smiling again.

"Want another drink?" This time I look up to Alysha. Her blond hair in locks covers nearly half her face. She swirls the red cup in my face, waiting for me to grasp it.

I refuse, feeling my head begin to bang. Just when I thought it couldn't get any louder, music begins to play. Biggie Smalls' Hypnotize, blares throughout the whole bus. The song is a classic but the bass makes my head hurt more. All, and I mean all of the guys were rapping along. Even though most of it is slurs coming from their mouths, it's pretty on point.

When it gets to the part where the girl sings, Tyler offers me a brush as a mic. I thought it was ridiculous but sung the verse perfectly along with the other girls anyways. I suddenly feel as if my headache is gone, that's when I realize I really am drunk.

"Wake up," Hannah.

I open one eye and realize I'm in one of the bunks. My eyes go wide as I realize it isn't vacant. I look over to Tyler who's in a deep sleep, practically snoring up a storm.

"Please tell me I didn't sleep with him," I whisper to her, terrified.

She lightly laughs. "Literally, yea. But like that, don't worry. Nothing happened."

I let out a sigh of relief before crawling out of the bunk carefully. What the hell happened last night?

"Where's Lynn?"

"She went home last night, you didn't wanna go so I said I'd babysit you." She smiles.

"I wasn't horrible, was I?"

"No, you're fun when you're drunk."

"Thanks?"

She giggles, "Don't take it to heart. Wanna go get some breakfast?"

"Anything to get me off of this bus."

I'm hungover enough but the fact that we have to walk to this restaurant makes me feel all woozy. I feel people judging me as I cross the street with Hannah. My hair is still out of place and my eyeliner is smeared underneath my eyes.
