Breathless (Asking Alexandria, Cameron Liddell)

13. Tour

Parker-
"No I don't wanna go!" I whined, as the boys all loaded my suitcases into the bottom of the bus.

"You don't get a choice parking lot." Sam chuckled.

"Would you all quit calling me that!" I rolled my eyes.

"No." They said in unison as I sat down on the concrete.

"I don't see why I have to go, I'm perfectly capable of holding down the house while you are gone on tour." I crossed my arms stubbornly.

"Parker you would destroy our house in two seconds flat. Don't make us carry you onto this bus." James rolled his eyes as he stepped into it.

"Wouldn't that be something." I rolled my eyes as Cameron closed the compartment below the bus.

"Come on parking lot." He chuckled, his brown eyes had a flicker of amusement in them.

"Nope." I said, popping the P.

"Alright." He chuckled as he scooped me up and threw me over his shoulder.

"Wow doesn't this feel familiar." I rolled my eyes.

He laughed at my comment as he stepped onto the bus.

"I don't need your sass right now Parking lot." He chuckled as he placed me down onto a couch in the front area.

I rolled my eyes, glancing around. I had never noticed how nice this bus was, mostly because I had been crying my eyes out and trying to get off last time I was on here. The memories weren't great, but I was determined to make some better ones.

"So where do I sleep?" I raised my eyebrow.

"The bunk across from where you slept last time." Sam chuckled.

"Why not the same one?"

"Because that's Cam's"

"Ew! I slept in Cameron's dirty smelly bunk that first night?" I fake gagged.

"Hey I'm not dirty or smelly!" Cameron gasped, offended.

"Sure you aren't Cam." I laughed.

"You weren't saying I was smelly when you were hiding in my chest during that horror movie last week."

"Well I figure you smell a bit better than a demon would." I shrugged.

"Your obnoxious." He ruffled my hair.

I flinched and grabbed his wrist, pulling it away from me.

"Don't fuck with my hair Liddell." I squinted.

"Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about it?" He smirked as he ruffled it again.

With that I lunged at him and tackled him to the floor as I ruffled his hair.

He began to do the same to mine as we rolled around on the ground, screaming and laughing until we were both laying on our backs catching our breath from laughing so hard.

"You're a piece of work Parking Lot." He chuckled.

"Hush. Did you get the keyboard I asked for?" I bit my lip.

He nodded.

"Seeing as it's the only thing you asked for this tour, of course, besides how else would I be able to hear my favorite piano tunes on the road?" Cam smiled.

"Thanks." I hugged him cautiously.

I was still a bit wary about touching the guys, but I got more comfortable with every day that passed.

"No problem Parking lot."

I rolled my eyes. Stupid Ben Bruce for giving me that stupid nickname.

We had been sitting in the parking lot of the venue for about an hour when I finally sat up and groaned.

"Can we do something? I'm bored. Touring isn't fun and it's only been two hours." I crossed my arms and huffed.

Sam looked at the clock and chuckled.

"It's power hour boys."

"What the fuck is power hour?" I raised my eyebrow.

"The hour before the show. We drink a bit and get hyped." Denis smirked.

"You're saying you drink before work?" My jaw dropped.

They nodded.

"That's unprofessional." I laughed.

"But it's fun."

"Immature." I said as Sam pulled out a bottle of coldcock whiskey.

"Lemme guess, they endorse you guys."

They nodded as they poured five cups and put them up in the air together.

"To an amazing first show of tour!" James exclaimed.

They all repeated after him and then chugged their drinks.

"Okay let's get parking lot dressed for our show." Denis smirked.

"You mean I can't wear this?" I raised my eyebrow.

They shook their heads.

"You don't look badass enough." Ben chuckled as they pulled a large bag out.

"What's this?" I raised my eyebrow as they handed it to me.

"Clothes for you to wear to our shows. Look in it and pick some things out for tonight and go get dressed.

"This is a lot of Asking Alexandria merchandise and a lot of ripped pants....are those leather pants?" I raised my eyebrow.

"We probably shouldn't have let Cam choose the pants." Sam laughed, getting a glare from Cam.

"Alright I guess I'll go change." I shrugged, grabbing some ripped jeans, a white tank top and a black zip up hoodie with a British flag on the back, along with a black diamond and their band name.

I quickly changed and brushed out my straight hair, making sure I looked decent and then walking out to the lounge where the boys say ready to go.

"A few things before we go." Sam cleared his throat, handing me two items.

A black IPhone 7, with a patterned case, and a laminate with a clip onto a larger clip.

"What is all this for?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Well this laminate gets you everywhere. Keep it clipped to your hip at all times so you can travel with us. we figured you needed a phone to stay safe too." He smiled.

"I didn't need one this nice. My old one was an iPhone 3." I bit my lip. They were being very kind.

"Nonsense. You deserve the best. Besides if we ever get separated you need a way to contact us. Our numbers are in there, and we made you an Instagram and a Twitter." They all smiled proudly.

"You all are sweet." I smiled as I hugged them. "Thank you."

"Of course Parking Lot. You are like our little sister." James smiled.

"Now let's go play a kick ass show!"

I nodded as I followed them off of the bus, flashing my pass to the security guard.

I felt like a VIP. I kinda was one in a way.

They ran out onto stage and preformed their hearts out.

I had never seen a live show so this was exhilarating.

They had a great energy about them and were fun to watch, especially Cam.

I pulled out my new phone and snapped a photo to Instagram, and posted it. It was only then that I realized what my username was.
