Where Did The Time Go?

Olivia

November 24th 2015

I smiled at the boys from Sleeping With Sirens as they ran past me and onto the stage. I knew what was coming. Zack, Rian, Jack and Alex were already on stage, and Jack had taken over the commentary. I knew what was coming.

"So, all of us were just sat on one of the buses one night, drinking beer and chatting, when Kellin just comes out with this awesome idea. He was like 'Hey, what if we made an awesome All Time Sirens mashup?!'" The crowd cheered, "So obviously, we all said yes."

Alex grabbed his mic, "So that's what we did. We've been working on a cheeky little song that we like to call Kick Me Screaming!" The crowd screamed as they realised that the mashup was going to be a mix of Kick Me and Kicking & Screaming.

The song was amazing. There was so much sound and so much going on, but that just made it all the better. I snapped a quick photo from side stage of all the boys playing together, which I thankfully managed to get everyone into.

I smiled at the photo. This was such a surreal experience, everything in my life had gone upwards so quickly.

"Olivia, you in here?" I heard the door of the bus open as I paused Mean Girls.

Zack appeared in the doorway, looking worried.

"You just disappeared from the party- I was so scared!" He came and sat beside me on the couch.

"I had a really bad migraine. So I came back, made some tea, cooked some popcorn and put on Mean Girls." I smiled sadly.

Zack started to stand, "Sorry, I didn't realise. I'll leave you be."

I grabbed his arm and pulled him back down onto the couch, "Stay, please."

He grinned and pulled my into his chest. His armed closed around me slowly.

"Hey, Liv?"

"Mhm?"

"Weird question but, if you had $100 to spend- what would you do with it?" Zack peered down at me.

"Why?" I laughed.

"Just answer it!" He smiled.

"Okay-uh... I guess I'd get a tattoo."

"Yeah?"

"Yep. I've always wanted one but I never had enough money. But if I had $100 I'd get 2 tattoos." I looked away from the TV and at Zack.

"What would you get?"

"I'd get cat whiskers on my wrist-"

"Cat whiskers?!" He laughed.

"Dan and Phil cat whiskers- you know, the youtubers?" He shook his head, "Well, their videos got me through some tough times. I've even made a lot of friends through that fandom."

He nodded, "What else?"

"Your logo- the skull tattoo."
