Band practice: Shane Hawkins x Reader

Part one - On the road

Y/Ns POV:

It was gig day. Yay. If I'm being honest I am terrified for this. I mean we are going to L.A. Los fucking Angeles. Do you know how crazy that is for a 14 year old drummer from Washington D.C is? This is going to be one of the most crucial gigs that I ever play in my entire life. Well maybe. We are a little popular but not too big I think the biggest crowd we've played is around 50 people. Which is still a lot.

"Hey Y/N!" Erin yelled

Erins the eldest of the band and also the coolest so naturally they were in charge of everything.

"Yeah!" I yelled back

"Get your ass down here we need to load up and get this show on the road!"

I loved Erin they were fun but also a very protective friend I'm pretty sure the saw me as a little sister. Which makes sense since they're 17 and I'm 14. That sounds a little creepy.

"Okay!"

I pracrically flew down the stairs picking up my lucky sticks on the way and walking out to the small van.

"Okay everythings in. Everyone ready to go?" Erin asks doing the final checks

"Yep, I'm really excited" I reply practically jumping with joy

"We can tell" Kris says with a smirk

"Fuck off." I jokingly shove her

"Hey watch your language kid," She replies pointing at me

"Mhm,"

I can see Erin giving us the 'hurry up and get in the van stare' so I open up the van door ans start climbing in. Erin is lovely but they could still scare the shit out of me when needed. Maybe it's just a bassist thing. I start moving some of the equipment around so that I could sit comfortably. God I was not ready for the long road trip ahead, I love the gigs more than life itself but man could I live without the long hours of being cramped in a tiny van with tons of instruments and bags.

"Okay, The Runes are officially on the road," Erin starts the engine and steps on the excellerator

"Fuck yeah," Kris replies tieing her shaggy black hair into a low ponytail so that it doesn't end up all in her face

Kris was one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. She has emerald green eyes with jet black hair and mid sized figure. Ontop of all of that Kris is immensely talented with a gorgeous and raw voice and a dark and powerful guitar sound. Her witty remarks and terrible jokes just make her even more loveable than she already is.

Erin on the other hand is how I picture androgyny to be. With their short fluffy bleached hair that is almost at shoulder length with a fringe that covers their eyes. Along with their electric blue eyes and soft face shape, they are the perfect blend of masculine and feminine.

____________________________________________________________________

We have been on the road for around 9 hours and have still got 30 hours left. Kris and Erin are switching places in about an hour or so to make sure that we can limit the amount of stops we have to make.

"You okay back there?" Erin asks

"Yeah just a little tired," I return with a small smile

"Then go to sleep dumbass," Kris interjects which earned her a slap from Erin

"Will do, thanks."

"You're welcome as always," she smiles choseing to ignore the completly obvious sarcasm in my voice

I really am tired so getting some sleep while the road is still smooth might be the best shot at getting some good sleep while I can. I close my eyes and focus on the music that is quietly playing through the speakers of the car. This part is always nice even if it was tiering, it is the part that makes us family.

____________________________________________________________________

I woke to the sound of doors closing and quiet voices coming from outside. I open my eyes to see whats going on and see that it is just Erin and Kris switching places. But I also see that it is extremely dark outside meaning that I had been asleep for a good couple of hours. I check the time on my phone and sure enough I have been alseep for a good 4 hours meaning that if this is the first time switching Erin has been driving for 13 fucking hours. God why does Erin have to be so stubborn, I get that they want to look after us but they to look after themselves as well. But atleast they've switched now so I can rest knowing that Erin is too.
