We were almost there, and it was 10:06 am. We had two hours to get there on time. So I wasn't worried. Scout snapped me out of my thoughts.
"What do you think your parents would think about you running away to do this?" She asked me while looking at the road.
"I honestly don't know, nor do I care. I feel like I've been trapped in that house with my "family" since I was fourteen. I couldn't wait to move out or run away and actually have a plan. And here I am. On my way, and I don't have to worry about them anymore. My whole life I've been cleaning up after people, and I just want to live and clean up after myself. I just want to be happy." I said looking out the window at the lines on the road passing by.
"I know what you mean. And I'm so proud of you for finally realizing that you don't need them. I really am." Scout said smiling at me.
I really loved this girl. She was always there to back me up, be there for me, and she has never left. Unlike many, many, many people I've had friendships with in my life or I've thought were my friends. Scout didn't make me feel miserable, insecure, jealous, or make me think like something was wrong with me. And I am so thankful for her. We finally had made it to the entrance and a lady had asked for our passes, Scout handed them to her and she scanned them then let us through. It was 10:42 am by then. We parked and grabbed my bags as I called my manager to meet me. The air was hot and dry. There weren't many people, just a lot of tents and a few tour buses.
"This is it." I said.
"I know." Scout replied looking at me and smiling. I didn't know I said that out loud, but it was true. Here I was going to meet my manager, and start up day 1 of warped tour. Day one of my future career. Day one of living my dreams.
We walked, and walked, and walked. So yes we were lost. I called my manager for the third time and we finally found him close to the food court. His name was Roger and he was very nice, and so talented. He sang, played guitar, piano, the base, the violin, and was very generous. When I saw him I hugged him. He was in his early thirties, was tall, and had short dirty blonde hair with brown eyes.
"Thank you so much for making this happen." I said as I squeezed him.
"My pleasure, you are a very talented young women Juliet. And I am very happy and proud to help you accomplish your dreams." He responded. Once we talked and caught up a bit, I introduced him to scout, and he showed me my tour bus.
"Okay, Juliet so you will be sharing the stage at 1:30 with Black Veil Brides." He looked down at paper.
"Black Veil Brides? Hmm.. Sounds familiar, kind of a weird name.. " I said and scratched my head.
"Are Max, Daniel, and Wess already there?" I asked looking over at the bus.
"Yes, they got here around 9:30." He replied.
"Oh okay, I'm going to go and unload my stuff now." I replied, I was excited to see my tour bus!
"Okay, I'll see you in a little bit. Remember 12:00 be at the Surg stage." He said as he started to walk away.
"I will be there!" I replied. Once he left I practically ran to the bus with Scout behind me.
"Hey wait up!" She giggled and trailed behind me. I opened the door and was greeted by my guys as well as being lifted up and greeted by hugs from all of them.
"Come on guys, put me down." I laughed. They put me down and we began small talk.
"Sorry we're really excited." Max said.
"How was the drive here?" Wess asked.
"It was okay, long haha." I replied.
"I still can't believe this is happening guys." I squealed. Scout came and hugged me.
"Come girl you guys have to go and practice, then it's show time!" She said excited. Before I knew it the guys were already out of the bus. And we're walking in front of me, talking to a group of guys wearing all black.
"Hey Juliet! Come and join us, we were just getting to know our tourmates." Max said as he waved his hand for me come as well as Wess and Daniel.
"Coming!" I yelled as I grabbed Scouts hand as we caught up with them. We walked around a bit and saw the other tents start setting up merch and stuff like that. We trailed up the ramp into the back of the stage. Our decorations and walls were already set up for our performance. There were tents set up back stage on grass for us to hang out at and do makeup or relax. I walked into one and was met by a guy who had slick black hair who was wearing a torn up misfits muscle shirt and black skinny jeans with holes in the knees. He was just finishing drawing a black line across his face as he turned to me. His ocean blue eyes fluttered as he looked into my green orbs.
"Oh, sorry." I fake laughed.
"It's fine." He said in a deep kind of harsh tone as he fixed his hair looking at himself through the mirror hanging.
"O-okay.." I said as I rolled my eyes and walked out of the tent. I met up with my band and Scout. The guys were talking to what looks like another band.
"Hey guys." I kinda slithered into their group conversation. There were four guys all with black hair along with black clothes and some black makeup.
"Oh, and this is our lead singer." Daniel said gesturing to me.
"Umm hi haha, my names Juliet and I'm the lead singer for Automatic Loveletter." I smiled.
"Nice! My name's Cece and I'm the drummer for Black Veil Brides." He smiled as he shook my hand. He had long black hair and some drum sticks in his hand.
"I'm Jinxx." A guy with short black hair and some stripes painted across his face said.
"Jake." He shook my hand. He had long black hair.
Another guy slid in front of him and cut him off. "I'm Ashley." he took my hand and kissed it then winked.
"Haha...nice to meet you all." I laughed and smiled awkwardly.
The guy I saw earlier came up and Ashley called him over. "Hey Andy come here!" He walked over and saw me. "This is Juliet, she's the lead singer for Automatic Loveletter." Ashley said.
"Cool." He said blankly not even looking at me. I stared at Scout hoping she could read my mind.
Really? What was this guys problem.
"Thanks...?" I fake smiled and walked away. I checked my phone and we had give minutes to get set up to start rehearsal.
"Hey guys, let's go." I motioned. They followed behind me. Sleeping With Sirens just got done practicing, we greeted them and high fives them as we traded places. Kellin winked at me as he passed me down the ramp and I blushed.
Kellin fucking Quinn just winked at me.
I snapped out of my trance and continued walking up onto the stage. I sat down on my stool and waited and talked to the guys while we discussed what songs we were start off with. There was a small crowd starting up but some people left."Hey guys, my name's Juliet Simms and we're Automatic Loveletter." I motioned and smiled to the guys behind me. I saw Scout smiling and giving me a thumbs up and Andy was next to her, talking to her and watching me. I turned back around to face the crowd.
"This first song's called 'Heart Song' and I hope you like it." I smiled and we started up.
•••
A/N: Hey guys! I know that the guys in Automatic Loveletter aren't the same guys in the story, but just go with it haha. I just kinda want this to be original, you know? Haha okay bye, enjoy! ❤️
