Where Did The Time Go?

Olivia

October 9th 2015

I was watching the first show of the mini-tour from side stage. All Time Low were on stage alone for a short while as Sleeping With Sirens had gone to get a drink and things.

Suddenly Jack started running towards me and grabbed my arm.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I hissed.

"Relax, you'll see." He winked. We stood at the side of the stage for a few moments.

"So, we all kind of have some news." Alex said into his microphone, "Rian, you first?"

Ri climbed out of his drum cocoon and jogged over to Alex and took over the mic.

"Um, yeah. Jack?" Jack dragged me on the stage and stood me next to my father.

Rian put his arm over my shoulder, "This is Olivia... My daughter."

The crowd gasped and I waved awkwardly.

"She was born when I was just 12..." Rian continued, "So I had to give her up. We were reunited again this summer." A chorus of 'aw' took over the crowd.

"Go stand with Zack." Rian whispered to me as Alex took his mic back. I did as I was told.

Alex smiled at me quickly, "So the moral of this story is-"

"Wear protection, kids!" Jack shouted. Of course he'd say that.

"And don't fuck anyone until you're legal!" Alex laughed, "Okay, Zack has something to say.

"That I do." Zack smiled into his microphone, "This is also involving Olivia... We're dating!"

Everyone cheered before I ran off stage. My cheeks were burning. They could've at least warned me that was going to happen.

"Are you only drinking soda!?" Jack was almost shouting to be heard over the music.

Me, All Time Low, Sleeping with Sirens, the support band and an array of crew members and VIPs were at a club near the venue, celebrating the first show of the tour.

"I'm only 18. Too young to drink." I smiled, sipping my coke.

"Boring." He stuck out his bottom lip and crossed his arms. I stood up and placed my drink on the table in front of our circular booth.

I looked back over my shoulder, "I'm not being boring, I'm obeying the law!" I skipped off into the crowd to find Zack.

I was searching around for him when I accidentally bumped into someone. I looked up at him.

"Olivia, right?"

Holy shit, Kellin Quinn remembered my name.

"Yeah! Hey, Kellin!" He pulled me into a hug, being careful not to spill his drink on me.

"I'm really happy for you!" He pulled away and smiled.

"What for?"

"Finding Rian! And getting together with Zack, cause that is one hot piece of ass! I swear to god, if I was gay and single- I'd be all over those muscles!" His voice was a little slurred as he laughed.

"Thanks, Kellin! Oh, and you guys were awesome on stage!"

He started to walk of, "And you're an awesome girl, my friend!"

That was the first time I'd ever spoken to Kellin, and it was a weird but amazing experience.

I carried on through the crowd before someone gently grabbed my waist and started kissing my neck.

I spun around quickly, "Hey, what the- Oh! Sorry Zacky!"

He smiled and pulled me in close. His arms stayed around my waist and mine found their way to his neck. Our faces were inches apart.

"How much have you had to drink?" I breathed.

"One beer, I swear on my mom."

"Good."

I let our lips touch slowly, before the kiss deepened. My hands tugged gently at his hair. We pulled away slowly after a few minutes.

"I love you, so much." I buried my face in his chest.

"I love you, too." He kissed my head gently.

"If you need anything, just knock on the underside of my bunk, okay? I'm right above you." Zack smiled.

"I was fine these past two nights, I'll be okay now!" I laughed. He'd said that every night so far.

It was about 2 in the morning and the rest of the boys were flat out in their bunks. I was laid flat on my back in my bottom level bed as Zack kneeled beside me.

"Sweet dreams." He kissed my forehead.

"You too."

He pulled the curtain closed and I heard him jump up into his bunk.

I started to shiver, the bus was freezing and the huge Blink 182 t-shirt I had 'borrowed' from Zack wasn't keeping me warm at all. I pulled my blankets tighter around me, but I was still shaking.

I heard feet fall to the floor beside my bunk before Zack's face appeared from behind the curtains.

"I could hear your teeth chattering from up there! You cold?" He whispered.

"Very. I'll be okay though, go back to bed." I smiled.

"No." Before I knew it he was lifting up the sheets and climbing into my bed. He pulled the curtain closed and pulled me into his arms.

I inhaled the sweet, earthy scent of his aftershave and settled into his arms. He was practically a walking radiator, even when he was only wearing a baggy pair of cotton shorts.

He gently traced circles on my back and before I knew it I had drifted off to sleep.
