I woke up in the morning on the couch in the back lounge curled up at skys feet and her stretched out over the rest of the couch, someone had put blankets over both of us at some point during the night as well. I was just about to get up when jack and zack ran into the back lounge and stopped when they saw us.
“Aww they look so cute” jack shouted and zack covered jacks mouth with his hand.
“Shh, you’ll wake them up” he whispered before jack got out his phone and took a picture before I could say anything.
“You do realise im awake, now delete that picture”
“Too late, it’s on instagram” he said smiling and putting his phone away. I jumped up and tried to get his phone but zack lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder. “Now be a good little kitty and come with us”
“where are we going” I asked before they started walking off the bus and I saw all the guys were up and laughing at this, “don’t let them kidnap me” they just kept laughing “bas please save me” he just shook his head and zack walked off the bus. They eventually stopped walking but I couldn’t see where we were since I was facing the other way, I could hear talking tough so I knew we were around people. After abit I got put down and saw we were at the catering tent and zack tried to hand me a plate, “im not hungry”
“You’ve been saying that to everyone for a few days, nobodies seen you eat anything for a few days either, please just eat a little bit and we won’t bug you about it anymore” he said and tried to hand me the plate again. I suppose it’s better to eat something than have them keep bugging me about it. I took the plate and walked along the line with zack getting my food before following them to a table. The started eating immediately but I just pushed the food around the plate hoping it would make it look like I had eaten something. “You do know you have to actually eat something not just play with it” zack said looking up at me.
“Im not hungry, you can have it” he looked at me sceptically “honestly, I ate a lot last night” he finally just took the plate and ate the food. “Ok we have an interview now”
“See you later then” I said and went to turn away but got pulled back by them both.
“Not so fast, you’re coming with us” jack said and lifted me up. God I hate it that they can all lift me. Jack put me down and zack made me get on his back so he could give me a piggy back. We got over to where Alex and rian were standing and zack put me down so I was between him and jack.
“I’ll go stand over there” I said pointing out of view of the camera.
“Nope, you’re joining the interview” Alex said sticking his tongue out at me.
“Now be a good little kitty and stay put” jack said patting my head. After the interview, which I didn’t really say anything in, they dragged me to their bus and we sat around outside. At some point Alex brought an acoustic guitar out and I stole it from him. I started playing teenage dirt bag and he started singing along. “Play something else” jack said but I shook my head.
“That’s the only thing I can play, you’re the guitarist you play” I said and handed him the guitar. It was time for my set and they all decided to come watch the set and zack gave me a piggy back to the stage. We got about half way through the set when my vision started going blurry. Crap, just breathe and keep playing, breath and keep playing, breath and keep playing. We got to the end of the song and I went to my water and drunk about half of it.
“ri you ok” dean asked from behind the drums when I was drinking. I nodded, I just had to breathe and play the songs and I will be fine. We went into the next song and my vision started going blurry again. Everything went black and I hit the ground. The band stopped playing and the crowd started shouting stuff. Someone took my bass from me and sat me up so I was leaning against something.
“ri drink some water” sky said and tipped some water into my mouth “guys we can’t play the rest of our set, we need to get her back to the bus”
“Were sorry but were gonna have to finish our set there today” Flynn said before I felt myself getting picked up. I looked up to see zack, so that’s what I was leaning against. We got back to the bus and zack put me down on the couch.
“Riley when was the last time you ate” sky asked, I shrugged my shoulders.
“Wait she said she ate a lot with you last night” zack said.
“No, she said she had eaten earlier, when was the last time you drunk” I shrugged again, “what about your tablet, have you been taking them” I shook my head. “Why the fuck not, RI you need to take care of yourself”
“I wasn’t hungry and I forgot to take my tablets” I whispered.
“ri, you know we’re all here for you if you need to talk, but you really need to eat and drink” sky said kneeling down in front of me. Im a horrible friend, I either push my friends away or make them worry about me.
“I will sorry guys” I said looking down. Later in the day after I had eaten, drunk some water and taken my tablet I went for a walk by myself and climbed up another tree. After a while Alan climbed up and sat beside me.
“Thought I would find you in a tree” he joked. “So what’s up, I heard about you passing out earlier”
“Im a horrible friend, you should just go”
“Hey wait, how are you a horrible friend”
“I always push people away or make them worry about me, I mean look at sky and bas they always have to make sure I drink and eat”
“They do that because they care about you, but seriously why did you stop eating” he asked looking at me.
“I don’t know, I just wasn’t hungry, I get like that at points, thanks for taking my mind off of things the other day” I said before a ball flew up into the tree and hit me making me fall out. “Stupidi fottuti stronzi” I muttered.
“era un incidente” a guy said from behind me. I got up and turned round glaring at him.
“I have no fucking clue what that means” I said.
“you speak Italian though”
“no, I swear in Italian” I said. Alan came up beside me and looked at me.
“you ok ri” I nodded “you sure you didn’t hurt anything” he asked worriedly.
“im fine Alan. just some stupid assholes who can’t watch where they kick a ball”
“vaffanculo” the guy said before turning around.
“oi asshole, you’re the one that made me fall out a tree”
“sorry, he’s in a bad mood, we didn’t mean to hit you” one of the other guys said walking over to me.
“its fine, just try not to hit anymore people out of trees, now im gonna go get some monster” I said turning around, Alan caught up to me.
“mind if I tag along, the guys are all busy and I wanna spend time with my little kitty friend” he said and ruffled my hair.
“ok, catsby, and im not that little im almost the same height as you”
“yeah but you’re a little kitty cause your only a little baby compared to us” he said before pinching my cheek, I hit his hand away and pouted, which made him put his arm around my shoulders “no don’t pout, smile, be hyper again, I know wait here” he said and stopped outside his bus. he ran on quickly and came back out with a two cans of monster and handed one to me.
“yay, bel gattino” I shouted and took the monster.
