Adopted by The Warped Tour?!

Chapter Eight: Mosh Pit Memories

You'd never think after a whopping twelve hours on the tour that you'd know everyone, and I guess being a girl in love with bands may help.

"Oi! Little bit, come in here, will ya?" Jordan Fish yelled through the bus. I had been in the middle of my Java monster as well as my favorite book.

"Yeah? Anything you need?" I said, walking through the door into the living area.

"Oli wants to talk to you about something." Jordan said, patting my shoulder and leaving the room.

"Hey, kiddo, sit down for me." He said, patting next to him.

"Listen, while on warped you're probably going to get asked if you want to take or do some things you aren't comfortable with, whether it's sex or drugs or something like that. And I want you to know you never have to say yes-"

"Oli, I know, I'll never say yes to that. My brother fucked himself up too much on shit like that." I said, remembering the nights Jordan spent shooting up at clubs, then coming home and being unable to stand on his own. Or the night when he overdosed and ended up in the hospital. Or the morning after that when the doctor told me that he was gone.

I will never forgive him for leaving me.

"Tristan? Honey." Oli waved his hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" I realized how choked up I sounded.

"Come here, kid." He said, opening his arms for a hug. I immediately hugged him, and began crying silently.

"He's in a better place, where he isn't hurting himself like that anymore."

"I know, I just wish he hadn't gone."

"I know, Tristan."

"Hey, Oli? We've got sound check to get to." Matt N.'s voice came through the door.

"I'll be there later."

"Oli, I'll go, it's okay, I'll hang out with Steve and Garret."

"You sure? I don't want you to be sad without me there." He said, pulling me into another hug.

"Dad, I'm fine, promise. I'll be okay."

"You called me dad..you did that first night too.." He said, staring down at me.

"Y-yeah..I thought that was okay. If you don't want me to-"

"OH MY GOD IM SO HAPPY! I NEED TO TELL EVERYONE AND CALL MY MOM AND-" he cut himself off and hugged me tightly.

"My dad would've liked you. I know it. I bet he's happy that someone like you found me." My words brought a wave of tears to me. Dad and Oli would've been friends had they gotten the chance.

"I'm so happy that you think that Tristan. I love you, kiddo. I love you like you're my own child."

"I love you too, Dad."

"Alright, now that that's done," he said, wiping his eyes of tears. "Let's go do some sound check. Then it's time for concert fun."

"Okay! Let's go!"

"Dude! We have to go watch this from the pit!" Steve and Garret were both pulling me towards the crowd. I didn't have a problem with the crowd, it's just the pit was a very scary place.

"Come on, kid! Let's reck some people!" Steve pulled me straight in, pushing through everyone.

"LETS GET THIS SHIT STARTED. THIS IS DIAMONDS ARENT FOREVER!" Dad screamed into the mic.
