Chapter 2

• Dani's POV •

"Everyone wake the hell up!" Zack yelled. everyone had groaned in response.

"Hey Zach guess what!" Brendon said.

"Huh?"

"Shut up the hell up" Everyone groggily chuckled at Brendons response. I sat up, grabbed my phone out of my back pocket. It was 11:37 a.m. How long have we've been driving for? I don't remember the drive to the venue being this long.

"Uh, where are we?" I said looking out the back window circling the unknown area with my eyes.

"A gas station that ran out of business awhile back. Since you guys never told me where you lived, I decided to park here." Zach said starting the back car up."So where do you guys live. Not trying to be creepy. "

"94 East Gavin Street. Monica lives a few blocks away from me, but its not too hard to find." I said as Zach entered it into the GPS that was in front of him. I laid back down because I was still groggy from yesterday, and also a pounding headache began to arise in my head, as I begin to lay my down,  I felt a pair of hands grab my shoulders and shake me until I was fully awake and functioning.

"Don't go back to sleep!" Brendon ordered at me. I groaned as I picked up the pillow that was I was resting my head on, and hit him on the head with it.  He then decided to grab his pillow and started to hit me with it, which didn't help my headache.

"Ouch. What the hell else am I supposed to do Brendon? I have a headache." I say stating the obvious.

"Um, stop sleeping and listen to some kickass music." he said 

"Fine, fine. I'll stop sleeping, but I will not enjoy this noise with guys."

"Well I hate to inform you, but you are getting a free ride from a triple platinum band, so yes, you will be enjoying some kickass music. Trust me, you'll like it." he said throwing down his pillow, feeling too confident in what he just said to me. I gave him a scowl back in response because honestly, for the first time in awhile, I didn't have a sarcastic statement to reply back with. 

"Uh just a question, when do you think we'll be home?" Monica said rubbing her eyes.

"Well," Zach said as he began to drive. "It is eleven twenty seven I guess I would say about two hours?" I seriously dont remember the drive to the venue being that long.

"One more question," I said.

"Jesus Christ you people ask a lot of questions. Also, this town is a total shit show." Zach said as he came to a stop at a stop sign that had graffitti on it. I'd say he's wrong, but he's not. The town I live is the complete opposite of what Monica's town is. This place is a ghost town. Everythig has closed down. Things from convience stores to banks and post offices. No one really drove through here, and if they did, it was because there was a rest stop two blocks down from my house.

Monica's town is different. That town has gas stations for days and a lot of dollar stores. It may not be the best town to live in, but it's a step up from where I live. Mostly because not a lot of the drug addicts that we used to go to high school with, lived there. Instead, they live in my town. 

"Well, all I was gonna ask is why is it taking so long to get to our houses, because to my understanding it does not take 10 plus hours to get to a delinquet town from a venue that was about 2 in a half hours away." Zach has been taken back by my question as it took him longer than expected to answer my question. It kinda pissed me off how cocky he was, and he can act like that to others all he wants, but to me, that will not happen. 

"Well, uh."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

"Listen I'm kind enough to give you and your friend a ride home."

"That's so funny, considering you, 'Mr. I Dont Give a Fuck' felt so bad that you needed to give me and my friend here a ride home. And that is a fact." The whole car went silent. 

"Guys stop fighting!" Brendon yelled. 

"Then tell your asshole of a friend to stop treating us ike we are some fangirls that are freshman in high school, not smart enough to comprehend how rude he is. He obviously is trying too hard to not have to pay for the damanged he's caused on Monica's car." The car had halted to a stop. 

"Zach, no." Brendon said. The car started up again.

The rest of the car ride was silent and was not filled with the kickass music that Brendon orginally wanted to put on, but the mood perked up whenever I realized that we were only and hour away from my house. 

The mood had also perked up whenever Brendon had asked, "Why do you hate us?" Brendon said sadly. It wasn't necessarily his band, I honest to god just hate his dickhead of a bodyguard, but who knows, maybe Zach and I will be super close.

"I dont. I may hate your band, but I dont dislike you as a person or anybody in this vehicle." I say back to his question.

The other four people in the car turned to me and looked directly into my eyes, even Zack who should've been looking at the road.

I'm not sure why me saying that came out as a shock to Brendon, because I even told him that I didn't really like the band when we first met. 

"Okay, guys we have an emergency." Monica said worriedly, and interrupting the stares, which I couldn't have been more thankful for. I didn't like the feeing of everyones eyes on me, as if I had something to bring to them.

"What wrong?" I said breaking the silence, because no one had reacted to Monica's 'emergency'.

"My mom is calling. What do I tell her when she asks where I'm at?" Monica said panicking.

"Oh I know," Zach said "How about you tell her the truth. Just a thought."

"Haha. Very funny," Monica said "Now seriously, give me a response because I'm running out of time." As seconds passed, nobody had any ideas so Monica had no choice but to answer the call with no reliable excuse. I'd usually tell her to tell the truth, but I never do to her so that'd be hypocritical.

 Monica said pressed the green button that lit up on her phone. I could tell that she was nervous. Monica has always had major anxiety. Her leg was shaking like crazy and her fingers were shaking as she clicked the answer button.

"Hey mom." Monica said. "Yeah, uh I'll be home in a couple of hours. We uh, rented a motel room for the night. Too tired to even drive. Uh huh. Yep. Okay. Alright. Love you. Bye." Monica said hanging up the phone. She looked up at all of us with her eyes wide. "Dear lord that woman asks a lot of questions." 

"Yeah so do you guys." Zach said.

"Hey dont push it," I said. 

I gave Monica a blank expression. "Well, what did she say?" I said.

"She asked when I was going to be home, if you were with me, yada yada yada." She said rolling her eyes at the last sentence.

"Should've told her it'll be awhile before we ge there." I said as I motioned to Zach to turn on the radio and the sound of hardcore music echoed throughout the entire van. .
