Beep. Beep. Beep.

I groaned and rolled over to turn off my alarm. Stretching I slipped out from under my warm sheets and onto the cold, wood floor.
I shivered and quickly ran to my closet to change into warmer clothes. Picking out a Sleeping with Sirens shirt I also grabbed some black, ripped skinny jeans.
Quickly glancing at myself in the mirror I groaned knowing I still had to brush my hair and all that crap.
I trudged over to the bathroom and grabbed my hair brush. Running it through my blue hair I took a minute to actually look at myself.
My eyes were slightly sunken from lack of sleep. I grimaced and quickly splashed my face with cold water. Walking back into my bedroom I heard my phone go off.

Gage❤- Be there in about two hours to get you, so excited xoxo

I responded saying I couldn't wait. Slipping my Black Veil Brides cased phone into my pocket I turned to walk down the statirs. Numerous movie and band posters hung in frames along the wall.
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a box of frozen waffles. It took ten minutes for them to heat up so I plopped down onto the couch for some TV. Scanning the channels it became apparent that nothing good was on. I groaned and settled for some weird, old cartoon.
It seemed to take forever for the waffles to cook. I leaped up when the timer went off and bounded to them. Making the stupid decision to grab them straightaway I cursed as it burnt my hand.
I felt no remorse eating that waffle. It was about an hour and a half til Gage picked me up. Walking back up the stairs I decided to do my makeup.

Choosing a pale foundation to match my skin tone (I'm very place by the way) I began to apply it. Humming I began on the eye shadow. I chose a dark gray base that had other grays/whites to make it smoky.
Grabbing the eyeliner pen, I glanced at the clock.

9:54

Making a winged eyeliner effect I moved onto mascara. When I finished I went through my suitcases.

I smiled. We had been planing this trip for months. Good thing we both have pretty flexible jobs. You see, I'm a sound tech that works with just about anyone on Warped Tours. Gage sold band merchandize and helped with show photography.
That's a way where we both have many, many types of band merch and autographs. I checked the clock on my phone.

10:31

He should get here around eleven. I honestly didn't know what else to do. So I just played on my phone for the remaining time. I mainly jut checked Twitter and watched some YouTube videos.

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang. Quickly walking down the stairs, I opened the door to be wrapped in a hug.
"Hey, are you ready," Gage asked me. I laughed and nodded. Together we brought down all my bags.
"Damn, how much did you pack?"
"One has to be prepared," I answered. He groaned as he put the last bag into his car. Sliding into the passenger side I put on my sunglasses.

Turning the radio on I discovered a CD was in. I pulled it out and saw what was written on it.
SOUNDTRACK
Smiling I put it back in. The first song to play was I'll take you there by Sleeping with Sirens. Gage opened the sun roof on the car and yelled 'roadtrip' very loudly.
I laughed and turned the music up. We drove for a while just singing when we stopped about two hours later for a bathroom break.
I raced him to the gas station we had stopped at. He won so I ended up having to wait on him. While I was waiting I decided to just play on my phone.
When Gage walked out I pushed him out of the way to by there as quickly as possible. Finishing I walked out and saw him by a lottery ticket thingamajig.
Gage looked up and smiled. "Took you long enough," he smirked. I flipped him off and proceeded to walk to the car.
Sitting down I saw him holding a bag in his hand. He wiggled his eyebrows when he got in. It was reveiled to be two Coca-Colas. I laughed at him and twisted open the cap on mine.
Taking a long sip the car tarted to move again. "Where are we," I asked. "Somewhere in Georgia I think," Gage replied.
I stretched. Our first concert was tomorrow in Panama City. So I guess we still had a ways to go. Wishing I could teleport I fell asleep as it began to rain.
