Bury the hatchet?

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

"I want you to call me every day and let me know you're safe." Ronnie instructed as I loaded the last bag onto ETF's bus. I sighed.

"Yes mother."

"I only want to make sure my sister is okay, I'll try and make it out for your birthday as well."  

"Aww Ronnie you don't have to!"

"You think I'm gonna miss my sisters birthday?! You can think again." He grinned pulling me in for another bone crushing hug. "Right go before I cry."

"What Ronnie Radke? Cry? Pfft I'd never thought I'd see the day." I smirked kissing his cheek. "Bye." I called to him; he waved at me as I got on the bus. Craig, TJ and Robert were sat in the main area eyes glued to the TV. I felt the bus start up as it pulled away from the curb, I went and sat by Craig who looked over at me and grinned kissing my cheek.

"Hey babe."

"Amber!" TJ and Robert exclaimed grabbing the attention of Kevin and Alex (Who was filling in as touring bassist for the band he was also in Craig and TJ's side project The Dead Rabbitts) I was soon ambushed by hugs from all the guys telling me they'd missed me, I'd missed them all as well.

Once the greetings were over, Kevin and Alex went back to whatever they were doing and TJ, Craig and Robert went back to playing their video game. Craig hooked his arm around me pulling my body closer to his side; I lay my head on his chest and watched the guys battle each other for whatever it was that they would win.

After a lot of heated arguments the guys gave up on their game and we pulled up outside the hotel we were stopping in. I grabbed some clothes for tomorrow and followed the guys off the bus, Craig reached for my hand, I glanced up at him and grinned he returned my smile and kissed the top of my head. I looked round our surroundings, I'd never probably looked round the city we were in so all the sights were new to me.

My glance became focused on a guy who was walking along the opposite side of the sidewalk. He kept looking up at us every few seconds each time looking me directly in the eye, I nudged Craig's arm and looked over at the creepy guy, Craig followed my gazed and watched him for a few seconds until he looked up again.

"Probably a fan." He said, it probably was but I still was slightly creped out by him. We arrived at the hotel and checked in, Craig and I were sharing a room, TJ and Alex were sharing and Kevin and Robert had the last room. We each received our keys from their tour manager who told us not to stay up all night partying, I knew that rule would go out the window as soon as the sun set. Craig and I reached our room and dumped our bags by the bed, I flopped on the bed and sighed, and Craig joined me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
