Drumsticks and Guitar Picks - Complete

Chapter Twentytwo - Dad Dancing

I practically ran all the way back to the tour bus to get ready. I stopped at the door, expecting it to be locked, to find it wide open with the three boys just sat in the door way. "Hi-"

"Someone looks happy?" Andy said, standing up to let me in.

"I'll tell you later!" I grabbed a towel and jumped straight in the shower, not wasting any time. I did my eye make up quite dark, with bright red lips and flushed cheeks to match my dress (Yes, I'm wearing a dress! Surprised?) and my hair in soft waves cascading down my back. I didn't think that the 'cutesy' girl look suited me but Chase said wear something nice, so I am. My dress is black (didn't expect anything else did you?) and sort of a Pin-Up girl kinda deal, with pale pink spots dotted on it.

"What are you all dolled up for?" Tommy asked, popping his head in the bus door.

"Going out with Chase to some dance up north-"

"Ooooh! I hear theres gonna be some awesome acts up there! I wanna go now!" David sauntered into the bus and sprawled himself out on the couch.

"You can if you want-"

"I'm a guy, therefore I'm lazy which means..." He rolled his hand in mid air

"Guys!" I sighed and pulled David's legs off the couch, then sat down.

Andy came and sat on my lap, feeling heavier than usual. "Plus, we don't want to get in the way of you and lover boy!"

I pushed him off my knee and laughed as he laid out on the floor as if nothing had happened. "You are asking for it now!"

"I don't recall asking for anything-" Tommy narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Shut up!" I grabbed my bag and stood up, smoothing out the skirt of my dress. "How do I look?"

"Like my sister..." Tommy chuckled to himself as he settled down where I was sat.

"Seriously! Stop with the wisecracks! Do I look date worthy?"

"I'd go out with you..." Andy patted the back of my leg.

"Thats nice and you freak!" I stepped away from the guys and walked to the door, then looked down. "I need shoes...!"

Andy sighed then jumped up to his feet, rummaging around in my suitcase. He pulled out a pair of black killer heels that I wasn't even aware I owned, never mind packed and passed them too me. "Wear these..."

"How am I meant to walk on grass in these...?"

"Are you forgetting that the whole of the north is concrete?"

I looked down, ashamed that I'd forgotten. "Yes. I had!" I slipped on the heels, walked backwards and forwards for a few steps then smiled. I waved goodbye to the guys and nearly fell my way down the stairs. I walked across the lot to try and find the SSS tour bus, which was staring right at me as soon as I turned the corner.

Joel was sat on the step and he waved when he saw me, then his mouth fell open. "Dayum, where's Angie?"

"She stayed at home! I thought I would take her place!"

He nodded in approval and turned to stick his head in the bus. "CHASE! Theres a girl here claiming to be Angie..."

Chase stuck his head around the door and his eyes went wide as soon as he saw me. "No, thats Angie! She just looks as gorgeous as ever!"

I blushed a deep pink colour and looked down at the floor. He looked so hot! His hair looked exactly the same, pushed over to one side but his eyes looked a brighter shade of blue than usual. He was wearing dark denim skinny jeans (They were reasonably skinny, not stupidly skinny as Andy's usually were), black converse and one of my band's shirts that had been attacked by scissors, like the one he was waring earlier. "Nice shirt-"

"Oh this? I had this before I met you! Obviously I'm not wearing it just to suck up to you or anything!" Chase jumped down the stairs, past Joel and to my side.

"Band promotion-" I smiled and took his hand in mine, no rings to get in the way.

"Didn't think of that-" He crinkled up his nose then his expression softened. "You look beautiful by the way, nice dress!"

I blushed deeper, looking away from Chase. "Thanks-"

"You are very welcome, babe. Let's get going!"

I finally felt ok stood next to Chase wearing these huge heels. I was still quite a lot shorter than him but I didn't feel as tiny. "Are they not coming?"

"They will be later probably! Are the guys?"

"Probably! They wouldn't miss it, even if their laziness took over"

---

By the time we'd walked all the way up to the north tents, the bands had started playing and crowds were barely thick. With us having passes for the stages we got priority on where we stood, like V.I.P areas.

"Let's dance!" Chase asked, pulling me into him.

"But, I can't dance!"

"Neither can I! This should be fun!"

He took my hands in his and we started dancing, like the sort your dad does at a wedding when he has had one too many glasses of wine, or an octopus with one too many legs.

Fun? That was one way of describing it!
