Fucking Wattpad deleted a 2,000 word chapter, so please bear with me.

Also, there's going to be a lot of a Sleeping with Sirens hate in this story, just to let you know.

"Holy shit man, you're Austin Carlile." I said, turning to face one of my heroes.

"Hey, kid. It's nice to meet you. It's funny how much Oli doesn't shut up about you." He said, pulling me in for a tight hug.

"What's up bitchess!! Of Mice is in the house!" Four rowdy boys came running on the bus, almost passing Austin and I.

"Dude! You're Tristan! It's so awesome to meet you. Oli doesn't shut up about you!" Aaron said, hugging me.

"Aaron!! Don't hog her I want to meet her!" Alan Ashby in person wanted to meet me. This day was too good to be true.

"Is that really Alan? Am I dreaming? I feel like I'm dreaming."

"It's all real, hon." Garret Rapp of The Color Morale was standing behind me. I turned, and was immediately met by Devin and Garret of The Color Morale.

"H-hi.." I could barely breath, it's like all of my dreams were coming true.

"Hey, kiddo! Bring them in here, we've got some stuff to talk about." Oli's voice sounded through the bus.

We walked into the living area after the boys put their stuff away.

"Alright, so we're touring with a couple big bands. I know the guys from Crown the Empire are coming with, possibly Parkway Drive, also, may we find the strength to endure it, Sleeping with Sirens."

An groan came from all of us.

"I'm fine with the rest of em', it's just Kellin's a total dick." Matt K., said, petting Candy's head.

Weeeeeeeee'reeeee heeeere!!!"

"I think you've just landed in hell." Devin whispered in my ear.

Kellin Quinn emerges from the doorway, followed by the rest of his band.

I gagged at the sight of them and walked back to the back of the bus where Steve and Aaron Pauley were playing Mario Kart.

"Do we really have to put up with them?" I asked, to no one in particular.

"I think they may actually have their own bus." Steve said, not taking his eyes off the TV.

"Praise the lord." Garret said, flopping on the beanbag beside me.

Mario Kart was played on and off for a few hours, as everyone began to shove off. It turns out Sleeping didn't want to bunk with us just as much as we didn't want to bunk with him, so we were free. Both groups were sitting all together in the teeny living room, chatting about the tour when the questions came my way.

"So, Tristan, what's it like with Oliver, here?" Steve pressed.

"Uhh, good I guess. It hasn't been too long. Candy and I are pretty happy." I said, smiling at Candy and Devin together on the couch.

Alan came in later, grumbling about 'stupid pretty boys' and flopped on top of me in the middle of a Mario Kart battle.

"ALAN WHAT THE FUCK I WAS WINNING?!" I screeched, shoving him off just in time to see that I had been pushed off of rainbow road.

"I'm going to kill you in your sleep." I grumbled,

"You'll have to get through my snuggle buddy." He said in a sing song voice before slipping out of the room.

The evening wore on, more games were played, drinks given, and we began our journey to our first show. Tino and Phil had a tickle fight on the couch, causing Matt N to be kicked in the face.

It was a beautiful thing to watch everyone get along. It was like a very big, weird family. I felt like I finally belonged somewhere again, like I had been sent the most amazing gift.

"Kiddo? You okay?" Oli said, standing next to me.

"I'm so much better than okay. I feel like I finally belong somewhere. I'm so happy that I got adopted and pushed into this amazing family. It's such a blessing."

Oli pulled me into a big hug.

"We're happy to have you here. I'm happy to have you here. You completed this life im living. I love you Tris." He said, giving me a kiss on the forehead.

"I-I love you Dad." I whispered, hugging him tightly.

"We all love you." I had barely noticed the lack of noise. In front of us stood my new family.

Garret, Devin, Mike, Aaron S., Steve, Austin, Aaron P., Alan, Tino, Phil, Matt K., Matt N., Lee and Jordan, with Candy sitting in front of them, wagging her tail against Lee's legs.

"Welcome to the Warped family, Tristan." Garret's said, pulling me into a hug, soon turned into a huge group hug.

"TRISTAN! Up and at em'! We're going out for sound check, make sure when you leave you have your phone and that pass! It'll get you back in here or to our stage to come see us. Make sure you drink plenty of water." Oli shouted

"And no drugs!" Austin screeched after.

I rolled out of my bed, checking my phone and seeing my background, a selfie of Garret, Devin and I from last night.

I made my way to the bathroom, doing my normal morning routine, before throwing on Oli's Parkway Drive tank top and a pair of shorts. I pulled on my favorite vans before grabbing my wallet and phone and walking out the door.

The heat hit me like a ton of bricks, damn you California.

I walked out towards the stages, the bass already pumping through my body.

I made my way around, looking at all the merch tents and trying to figure out where my boys were.

"Hey! How'd you get in here!" A voice yelled. I turned around and immediately was faced with a security guard.

"Nobody's supposed to be in here yet. How'd you get in."

"I-I'm here with Oli Sykes." My voice was weak.

"Hah, yeah groupie. Come on." He said, pulling me along.

"Oi! Mate, she's with us!" Thank fuck for Matt Kean.

"Matt!"

"This groupie's with you?"

"Hey asshole! She's no groupie. She's Oli's kid." Garret's here too?

The guard let go of my arm.

"Don't fuck with her. She's with us." Where the fuck did Winston McCall of Parkway Drive get here?

"Don't worry, love, Oli talks about you all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if every band on Warped knows who you are." Luke Kilpatrick said, putting his hand on my shoulder.

I guess it's true, I haven't just been adopted by Oli, I was adopted by the Warped Tour.
