Say It: An IM5 Fanfic: Dalton Rapattoni

Chapter 6

As we walk out the door, I feel my phone start to vibrate. My ring tone is playing holiday by green day quietly(it's on low).

I pull it out of my pocket and look at the caller ID. It's Taylor.

"Helloooo?" I answer.

"Hey! You in Cali yet?" I hear her ask.

"Yeah... Didnt you just watch the ustream?"

"You did a ustream?"

I roll my eyes even though she can't see me. "Yeah. Me and the guys just did one. Why weren't you on twitter? You're always on twitter."

I hear her groan and say something to someone near her. They say something back, and then Taylor talks to me again. "I'm not at home. I've been at Haley's tournament all weekend. They're doing pretty good in case you're wondering."

"Really? What's the score? What game are they on?" I ask, then look at the guys who are just watching me.

"This is the third game... They're winning 5 to 3, they lost their first game, but won the second. This game should be over in about 5 minutes. They're going to win. It's the last game for the day... They have 2 more tomorrow."

"Awesome. Tell her good luck. I have to go... I'm going sight seeing. Skype later tonight?" I ask.

"Sure. I'll text you when I get home." She says.

"Kay. Bye!"

"Adios."

I hang up and look at the guys again. "Sorry. Taylor wanted to know if I made it to California safely. Plus, I think she's bored at Haley's game. She's been there all day." I say apologetically.

They shrug. "No problem. How's Haley's game going?" Will asks.

I smile slightly. From the few times Haley was talking to them on Skype, her and will really got along together. "Good. They've won 2 out of 3 games so far, and they have two more tomorrow. I think she's going to Skype me tonight. Her and Taylor. You guys can talk to them if you want to."

Will grins. "I'm in."

"Same." Dana says.

"I'll go too." Dalton says.

"Awesome." I smile. "So where are we going first?"

Dalton stops to think for a couple seconds. "How about the Hollywood sign?"

I nod. "Fine with me. I just want to see things and meet people."

"Then lets go!" Cole says, smiling and walking to the elevator.

We walk out to the parking lot and dalton leads us to his car, a fancy black one. I look at it and you must be able to see the jealousy. My car is a crappy broken down dodge neon.

Dalton looks at me and smirks. "You jealous?"

I roll my eyes at him. "Yes, I'm jealous. If you saw my car, you'd understand."

"Why? What do you drive?"

"A really shitty beat up dodge neon. It's not ideal, but I guess it gets me where I need to go. But I doubt it will for long... The things about to die."

The guys laugh. "Well, maybe after this summer you'll be able to buy a new car. Or at least a better one." Dana chuckles.

I smile. "I hope so..."

We all get in Dalton's car, and I end up squished between Dana and will, while Gabe is shotgun and cole is on the other side of Dana.

"So how ya liking LA so far?" Will asks.

"It's nice from what I've seen. Nicer than where I live. I live by cows. This is a lot more interesting." I smile.

We spend the ride to the Hollywood sign talking and still getting to know each other a bit better.

"Well, here we are." Dalton smiles, pulling into a parking lot in front of the sign. "The famous Hollywood sign."

I smile at it. It's been a dream of mine for a long time to see the Hollywood sign. This whole situation is crazy.

"This is awesome." I grin. "I can't believe I'm seeing the Hollywood sign with IM5."

Dana walks up and puts his arm around my shoulders. He's a tad shorter than I am, so he goes up on his tiptoes. "Well, believe it. You'll be seeing a lot with us this summer. Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Milwaukee, Sandusky, Seattle, and I can't even think of all the stops."

My grin gets even bigger. "Well, I can show you around Milwaukee. My town! Well, not really, but still. I've been there enough." I pause for a second, "wait... Are you playing summerfest?" I ask, getting really excited.

"I don't know... Maybe?" Will replies. "Is it good if we do?"

"YES!" I yell. "That's amazing! I love summerfest! It's one of my favorite parts of summer. I go for about 2 days every summer. Pay $16, then just hang out with new people and listen to whoever is playing for the entire day. It's great. Do any of you have the schedule with you right now?" I ask, looking around at the guys.

Cole, dalton, will, and Dana shake their heads, but Gabe pulls out his phone. "I put them in my calendar." He says handing me his iPhone.

I giggle as I take it. "Nice fox tail for it."

He smiles at me with an embarrassed look. "Thanks."

I go onto his calendar and look at all the dates. Sure enough, we play Milwaukee in late June, which is when summerfest is. I check when our next date is, and luckily, it's a couple nights later. "Can we please stay in Milwaukee and watch some people play? PLEASE?" I ask.

The guys shrug. "Fine with me." Dalton says. "What kind of people play there?"

"All kinds. BoyBands, rock, alternative, classic, country, jazz, tribute bands... It's awesome. Last year I watched a ton of country bands. We were going to go see Hollywood undead, but we decided to keep our spots for Phil Vassar. The drunk people next to us were freaking hilarious." I laugh as I remember the drunk lady that say next to me. She kept talking to me and asking me stupid questions.

"Well, at least the BoyBands will work for us." Will grins.

I laugh. "You'll like it. I promise. Now someone take a picture of me in front of the Hollywood sign!" I say, holding out my phone for someone to take. Cole takes it and I go stand in front of the Hollywood sign. He takes a picture, then I get a picture with all the guys alone, and then we got a stranger to take a picture of all of us together.

We spend about another 3 hours just driving around, looking at a couple of the more iconic places in LA. They promise to actually take to me them tomorrow and then in the weeks to come.

At around 7, we head back to XIX. My mom and eben are waiting for us. "Well," eben says. "We are done with all of the paperwork and scheduling and what not. It's official. Brianna, you're coming on tour with us." He grins.
