NINO POV
I woke up the next day in a strange bed and I remembered last night. I was sleeping in a van, even though our van didn't even have a bed. I tossed to the other side and saw that Jaime was asleep. I froze for a second before realizing this was PTV's tour bus.
How did the casualty become sleeping in my favorite band's van and then partying out with BMTH and drinking too? This is some sort of dream.
I put a blanket around me and I walked around the bus. It was early and there was no sign of my bandmates, or Tony, or anyone in general except Jaime.
I walked outside the van quietly with the blanket around me. Outside, crew members were discussing things and moving around boxes of equipment. I rubbed my eyes sleepily as the chilly morning weather was hitting me.
From behind, someone tapped me and I saw it was Gabi as I turned around.
"Nino! You're up," Gabi smiled and I squinted my eyes because I didn't have my glasses on.
"Gabi? Where did you guys sleep?" I asked her.
"Well, listen. This is some crazy shit. You were drunk and passed out and Tony and the others carried you to his bunk. He insisted you slept in his," Gabi told me with a wink.
"He slept next to me?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow and wide eyes.
"No, no! He slept at a staff member's van," Gabi explained quickly.
"What about you, mads and Bee?" I asked her as I tugged the blanket around myself more.
"Same van. Dude, let me finish the crazy story. So, Oli was trying to make space for us and he was yelling at a crew member like, 'Christian, if you don't fucking get your ass out of the van with the rest, I'll fire you!'" Gabi quoted on Oli's behalf in a strong British accent and I laughed.
"That's so sweet of him, bro," I shook my head as I smiled.
"He is just as sweet as he was shown online. Nino, this is just unbelievable. We just partied with BMTH like that," Gabi said, shocked.
"Oh, there's Mads," I interrupted as I looked behind Gabi and saw Mads was approaching us.
"Good morning," Mads smiled at us as she rubbed her face.
We greeted her back enthusiastically.
"You missed out on so much fun because you were passed out," Mads pointed at me and told me.
"Okay, okay! Don't make me feel bad for missing out," I laughed as I yawned.
"They are all genuinely as funny as they appeared in interviews. Mat gave me his fucking jacket, bro!" Gabi said and my eyes grew wide as I smiled.
"What? No way! What did it smell like?" I asked curiously.
"I don't know, it smelled like some expensive shit, though," Gabi shrugged as she pulled on her classic manager sunglasses.
"Yep, Mat did smell great while we were partying," I nodded.
"Bert wasn't too interested in partying and instead conversed with some staff members last night. He's been hanging with the techs and the staff dudes. He got the numbers of a few, so that's great for connections," Gabi told us.
"Hell of a guy," I nodded while looking around for Tony.
"Looking for someone?" someone suddenly poked my back and I turned around to see Tony who was already wide awake, dressed and looking ready.
"Oh, Tony! Good morning" I smiled and he smiled back.
"That's my blanket," he pointed out, touching the blanket on my shoulders.
