The Man Behind the Makeup

Chapter 6: What's In It For Me

I woke up to my phone scaring me, which made me smash my head against the top of the bunk, then fall out onto the floor of the hall. I heard loud laughing in front of me as I looked up to see Oli and Matt N laughing at me, while Ronnie pushed through them to help me up.

"You okay kiddo?" I nodded, fixing then fluffing my hair. He walked back to the front and I grabbed my phone off the bed, seeing that it was Alex who had texted me.

Alex: Hey um, you said to text you an hour so I did

I giggled and texted a quick reply.

Annabelle: yes, where are you?

Alex: At the warped YouTubers tent

Annabelle: Kk I'll come get you in a few minutes.

I put my phone in my back pocket and put on my combat boots, lacing them up as I glared at Oli and Matt. I silently and quickly ran off the bus, running to the Warped YouTubers tent. I haven't been to this tent all tour so far, I think I need to get some merch. I should also probably get my camera back from Kevin, too if he hasn't already given it to Ronnie or somebody from the band. As I neared the tent, somebody tapped my shoulder.

"I thought you would want this back." I turned around to see just the man I wanted to see, holding my camera.

"Thank you so much, Kev." I gave him a hug and we split ways. I could see Alex's hair from here as she talked and laughed with Johnnie and the rest of the guys. Jordan is super cute, but he's too young I think for me. Oh well. I walked over and lightly put my hand over her eyes. She froze and her body tensed.

"Annabelle?" I laughed and her body relaxed.

"The one and only." She smiled and turned around, giving me a hug. Okay, this girl really likes hugs. I hugged her back and smiled. "Okay, I am just gonna get a few things, then we can go back to the bus and you can pick one of the extra bunks. It would be nice to have another girl on the bus." I giggled and her eyes widened, starting to water a little.

"You were serious about that?" I nodded and smirked.

"Of course! Why would I lie about this?" She shrugged and giggled. I bought a few things and took some pictures with the guys. They all were so sweet and Jordan kissed my cheek, making me blush like crazy. Alex and I waved and said our goodbyes as we started our walk back to the bus. Oli and I still have to go around and campaign, maybe she would like to help. "So do you know about Oliver Sykes and I being nominated for Warped Prom King and Queen?"

"Yeah." She giggled. "I thought it was cute when he asked you to be his date." I laughed at the memory from only a couple hours ago.

"How would you like to go around with us campaigning? It's a first for both of us with this." She gasped and jumped on me, squealing yes over and over. I laughed and had her get on my back and let her go through my photos that I took on my camera.

When we finally made it back to the bus, we both were dying. It had cooled off quite a bit considering it was later in the afternoon, but it was still about 85 degrees with 50 percent humidity. I made a loud groaning-screaming noise as we walked up the stairs of the bus. I collapsed on the couch, her plopping right down next to me. We looked at each other, reading each others minds as we both said,

"Yes and yes." I got up and grabbed my water from earlier and another for her.

"Thanks." We walked to the bunk area and I pointed out the ones that nobody was using; the ones directly across and above mine were the only ones. "I'll take the one above you." I pulled back the curtain, making sure there were blankets and pillows for her. Yep, all good.
