The Hunting Party tour with Linkin Park has been in effect for quite a while now. Soon, we'll be traveling around the States once again with another band, Rise Against. All the guys in both bands have really gotten along, it's truly amazing how down to earth the other band is. Fame hasn't struck into their minds and they don't treat us like they're superior. While my band mates spend most of their time with the other band, I've been bonding with their vocalists, Chester and Mike.

I've already learned how close those two are to each other. It would be impossible to tear them apart, they really are best friends. Apart of me wonders if they're even something more. The way they flirt all the time and seemed to be almost always touching each other raised suspicion. Another piece of me feels stupid for even thinking like that, but I couldn't help but wonder.

"Hey, man, we put on a pretty good show tonight." Chester beamed as he walked towards me backstage. I smiled at him and nodded my head in agreement. I've found so much new respect for the guy, it's hard to figure out exactly what I want to say.

"You guys totally killed it, we couldn't even compare. Did you hear that crowd?" I chuckled and he shrugged his shoulders, grabbing a towel nearby. He had taken off his usual white tank top during the show and now all his colorful tattoos stood out on his body. They were honestly marvelous, I couldn't help but admire them.

"The crowd loved you guys too." He smiled supportively and began clearing the sweat away from his skin with the towel. "Your band has some really amazing music and fans, I'm more than happy that we're touring with you guys."

"It's honestly an honor to be on tour with you guys. I don't mean to be humble and all but seriously, it's just a privilege to be able to preform with you." I grinned brightly at the older, skinnier, man. I've also learned Chester is young spirited, it feels like he's younger than I am.

"You don't mean that, we're not that good." He laughed and I just stared at him like he stabbed a cat. When he stopped laughing, a smile was still written across his lips and he came over to the couch I was sitting on and sat down next to me. "But anyways, how are you liking the tour so far? Ready to travel around America again?"

"This tour is such an amazing experience, I feel like we've learned something from you guys. I'm actually excited to go back to the States, I like that I've seen so much of it." I tried to simply answer but he just nodded his head anyway. I was about to ask for his opinion, when Mike came into the room. He looked strangely upset and glanced at Chester, who also seemed puzzled by Mike's facial expression.

"I don't mean to interrupt, Austin, but I kind of need to take Chaz from you." Mike said, adding a chuckle and a small smile after to try and hide his previous mood. Chester rose and Mike tossed him a shirt that was in his hand. Chester slid it on and went towards Mike.

"I'll see you later, Austin. It was nice talking to you." The vocalist said behind his shoulder.

"See you guys later." I called back and watched the pair leave. I felt a tinge of curiosity burning inside of me and rose off the couch, heading the direction of the other guys. I saw them in the hallway and nearly gasped when I saw Chester pressed up against a wall with Mike's lips pressing tightly against his as Chester's hands pushed Mike's body even closer to his own. They broke the kiss off but continued to share small, quick, kisses.
