Drumsticks and Guitar Picks - Complete

Chapter Thirtytwo - Memories

No alarm? It's like heaven! My eyelids fluttered open to Chase looking down at me, smiling. His hand was stroking my shoulder and his hoodie that I'd practically lived in for two days was thrown over me. I smiled back and turned over onto my back, still looking up at him. "Sleep ok?" He asked me.

"All the better for being with you!" I sat up and wrapped the hoodie around my shoulders, then moved back onto his lap.

"You could sleep forever I bet! I've been sat watching you sleep for about an hour! Matt, Joel and Ash went to go find the guys to tell them you slept here. I thought you might wanna sleep somewhere quiet..." He started to laugh "I could hear the guys snoring from outside when I went to bring you back!"

I pressed my lips to his and laughed. "Thank you-"

"No problem! You look so adorable when you sleep-" He mumbled, kissing down my neck.

I felt a hot rush in my cheeks and I smiled. "I can't believe you actually sat here and watched me-" I looked down, trying to hide the colour in my face.

"I didn't have the heart to leave you..." He lifted up my head with a gentle finger and smirked at me.

"Thanks, darlin'. What time is it?"

Chase reached over to grab his phone off the table. The SSS's tour bus was a similar style to ours, but tidier. "It's 11am-"

"Crap! I better go get ready for my set later!" I clambered off his lap and onto the couch next to him. "I will see you down there?"

"You will indeed!" He gave me a peck on the cheek and grinned.

"See you-" I stood up and grabbed my bag off the floor. I walked fairly slowly back to my own tour bus, hoping the guys will have left by now. I walked in the tour bus door and was practically jumped on by the guys. Turns out I was wrong about them not being there....

"How was your night-?" Andy asked, stepping back and grinning.

"It was fantastic! I wasn't kept awake by your snoring!" I raised my eyebrow and pouted.

"For just that reason...?" David asked, nudging me.

"Oh my God guys! I was in a tour bus. With his band members! Can I go and get showered now?" I cannot believe them! Guys, they are hard work!

"Right, right!" Tommy smiled at me and let me past them. "We will meet you down there, get set up and all"

"Have fun!" I shouted back sarcastically, grabbing a towel from my hold all.

"Oh, we shall!" Andy laughed and slammed the door behind him.

I sat on the couch of the tour bus after I was changed and dolled up for our final set. I know I should be happy about getting a record deal with an awesome company, and I am ecstatic, but I'm gonna miss this bus every year and performing the stage to people who had never heard of you. I chuckled to myself as all the memories from the three years played over in my head. Andy splitting his pants completely in half, David falling off stage, Tommy stretching his bass strings and the most recent thing, Andy throwing coffee over David to 'wake him up'. I love my guys and I'm sure as hell gonna miss them!

I stood up, grabbed my phone and bag, then walked down to the tent circle. Molly's car was gone which meant she probably left this morning. I checked my phone and saw a text from her on my screen.

'Hey girl, hope you had a good night! *wink wink* Just wanted to say I'll see you when you get back! In need of a serious yoga session! Enjoy your last set, don't cry too much darling! Mollz x'

'Don't even go there missy! Yoga sounds awesome right now so I hold you to your word, sister! See you later and I promise I wont cry toooooo much! Ang x'

I shoved my phone back in my pocket and showed the bouncer my pass to get into the tent ring. I walked straight up the stage steps and pulled the three guys into a hug. "If I cry later, don't make me look like a prat-"

"We were born to make you look like a prat, Ang!" Tommy laughed

"I love you guys to bits, you hear me?"

"We know!" Andy smiled and kissed my forehead, as did David and Tommy.

"Ew guys!"

"Stop Ewwing! You know you love the attention!" Andy laughed.

"Yeah, I do!" I squeezed the guys tighter. "Are you ready to do our band justice?"

"When aren't we?" David ruffled my hair and stepped back from the hug. "We errrm- sort of got you a leaving present..." He passed me my guitar "Turn it over-"

I turned over my guitar to find an array of notes tattooed in black on the glossy white surface. They were from All the SSS, including Ash which surprised me, and even the guys had put their own little messages on it. No way am I going to be using this, it'll take pride of place in my old room at my parents house. "Aw, you guys-" I honestly didn't expect the tears to start flowing THAT quickly...

"We knew you would like it! We got all the others repainted too, so they don't fade-" Tommy wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Don't forget us kiddo-"

"We live in about a four mile radius of each other! It's gonna be pretty hard!"

"True! Stop crying you baby and lets get ready for this show! Blow em' all away!" Andy high-fived me and smiled, turning around toward his drum kit.

-400 guys!!!!!!! Yes!! 500 coz you love me! Peace*Love*Snakies-
