*6 months later*
Our band has really started to take off. We are heading to Warped Tour in Texas of America to play. This band has become my family, but it still freaks me out that I will soon be only a state away from my mom. What a bitch, I have been thinking ever since she left me. She was never fit to take care of me, but at least I can feed my hatred of her through my music.
After we all finally pack our things, we head to the airport and get on our plane. After a long ride (which was not enjoyable at all, a kid was kicking the back of my seat and it smelled like cat piss) we finally landed in San Antonio, Texas, which is where one of the concert will be. I'm finally back in my home country, land of the 'free' and 'brave'. I laughed out loud at the thought of that, and Oli had to come and ask, "What's got you a case of the giggles mate?"
"Nothing man its just being here reminds me of how shitty of place America is," I say in between laughs. We grab our baggage and go out to the tour bus that our label, Thirty Days of Night, lended us.
I get in first, then Matthew (Matty), then Lee, Oli, Matt, and last is Curtis. Curtis is always the lazy one. We finally finished our first album, Count Your Blessings, which is pretty deathcore in my opinion, and I'm proud. The point I am getting at is Curtis literally only wrote two guitar riffs for the entire album. Every one is clearly upset with his laziness and it is like he doesn't care about the band.
*Day of the concert*
It is 1:00 p.m., and our show starts in two hours.We are all ready, and I have actually made friends with a lot of the bands here. Kellin from Sleeping with Sirens and I are actually best friends now, and Vic from Pierce the Veil is like a brother to me. But the best thing about all this is, wait for it, Mitch! His band Suicide Silence made it to Warped as well! Oli, Matthew and I decide to leave the tour bus and go to Mitch's bus, while Curtis took a nap and Matt practices his bass. Lee wanted to watch Youtube and see the hype about the concert. As we approach Mitch I see his members Chris, Rick, Mike, and Josh. Their concert is right after ours. Sleeping with Sirens is performing right now and I can hear Kellin screaming and singing along with his band, and all the fans seem to be going crazy.
Mitch walks out of the bus as soon as we get there, and Oli runs up to him and bro hugs the shit out of him! I walk up and yell, "MITCH I MISSED YOU BITCH!" in his face. Then Matthew bear hugs him and Mitch squirms and while he is laughing yells,
"Put me down bro don't throw me!"
After Matthew stops giggling he puts him down and says, "I love scaring you man."
"Yeah well I don't! Anyways how have you been Zach?" He asks to me.
We start walking back to the bus to get the rest of the guys when I see all the fans screaming at us, wanting autographs and pictures taken with us. "I guess it wouldn't hurt too much, what do you guys think?" I ask while already starting to go over to the fans.
"I'm down to pick up some down to fuck girls." Matthew says of course. He is always the horniest of us all, but we have to admit it is funny as hell.
"I love showing appreciation for our fans," Oli says.
"I'm the vocalist of the band so of course the fans want to see me!" Mitch says in an arrogant tone. It was kind of offensive to Matthew but the sad thing is it is true! Lucky for us I guess!
We get to the crowd and sign posters, albums, and shirts, when I spot the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She has straight brown hair, a Nirvana tank top, white skinny jeans and red converse. Her eyes are a perfect brown, and her makeup is amazing. She walks up to us to sign her copy of our album, when Oli takes it and signs, To the most beautiful girl on the planet, Oli Sykes. I start to feel an anger build up inside of me. How could this happen and why? It is just a girl. But then she makes eye contact with me, and I instantly feel sparks. I want to date this girl. I NEED to see her. I take her copy and sign, To the girl that took my breath, Zach Marino. Then I wrote my number on it and gave it back to her and made eye contact again. She winked at me. I am going crazy about this girl, I realized.
"What's your name beautiful?" I ask.
"Amanda," she says back in a flirty tone. Then Oli and I look at eachother. I can feel the tension, and the anger builds up.
"Let's go to the bus, now." Oli says to us all. I look at Mitch and Matthew and they stand staring at us with worry. I look back to see that Amanda already left. As we walk back to the bus I get lost in my thoughts.
What is going to happen to Oli and me? Will we be ok? Will this girl tear us apart? Or will we get over her? So many questions but no answers.
