Can't Shake The Noise From Their Bones (An All Time Low Fanfiction)

We'll Be A Dream

I awoke the next morning at Alex's house in the spare bedroom when my phone began to ring. The caller ID read 'Travis Clark'. I met Travis when he sang a few songs with Simple Plan on the recent tour and since then, we became really close.

"Hello?"

"Hey Danielle, it's Travis. I'm going to be in Baltimore tonight with We The Kings and I wanted to know if you could come to our show tonight."

"That would be great Trav! What time?"

"We'll pick you up at 5 if that's ok?"

"Yeah sure. I'll send you my address then! Thanks, see you soon!" I smiled to myself. I loved Travis and the guys. I always had so much fun when I was around them.

"Great! Can't wait to see you Danielle!" I hung up the phone and sent him my address. By now, it was around 11 AM. I washed up and got changed into the spare clothes I kept at Alex's in case I slept here unexpectedly. I went downstairs and greeted Alex with a hug from the back.

"Good Morning beautiful. Sleep well?"

"Of course. I'm going to go see We The Kings tonight by the way. I just got off the phone with Travis."

"Oh ok. Well All Time Low has a local show here next weekend so you should come. I'm sure I can get you an extra ticket," he winked at me and held me tighter. I giggled into his chest.

"I might be able to make it." We both giggled. "Uhh I need to get home now. Sorry, but if it's ok, I'll come over after the show."

"That's fine." He gave me another hug then he kissed me. When we finally separated, he gave me a key to the house and drove me home.

I got inside and took a long shower. It was relaxing to feel the hot water run down my body. It also gave me time to think about everything that happened in the past year. I met Alex, went on tour with All Time Low, sang with bands that I loved, MET the bands I loved and made many friends along the way. And on top of that, I was dating ALEX GASKARTH. I wouldn't want my life to be different at this point.

I got out of the shower and sat in a towel for a long period of time before actually getting ready. I blow dried my hair then ran a straightener through it. I applied a bit of makeup and went through my drawers to find an outfit for tonight. I pulled out black, ripped skinny jeans and pulled them on with a We The Kings tank top.

By the time I got ready and went downstairs, it was already 2. I hadn't eaten anything all day so I made myself some food and ate in silence. It was 3 when I got a text from Trav.

*Hey we finished sound check early, coming to get you now. I'll be there in 10.*

I quickly cleaned up the mess I made then pulled on my grey converse that went up to my knees. I did up the buckles and read the new text Trav sent me.

*I'm outside, come out whenever you're ready.*

Locking the door behind me, I ran into the arms of Travis Clark.

"Trav! I missed you! I'm so happy to see you again!"

"I'm happy to see you too! Thanks for coming out tonight, we appreciate it." I got into the cab that brought Travis here and drove off to the venue. I caught up with Travis and how his life had been for the past few weeks. They were back on tour again and this was one of their first stops. We got to the venue and met up with the rest of the band. I gave all of them a hug and took a seat in between Charles and Danny. 

"So we usually sing We'll Be A Dream as the encore so we were wondering...would you like to sing with us tonight?" I couldn't. My nerves would get the better of me for sure. But at the same time they were my friends and I loved them and I loved performing. 

"I would love to!" I smiled. They all smiled back approvingly. 

"So glad to have you performing with us," Hunter said into my ear while giving me a hug. Me and Hunter had a special bond together. I didn't know what it was, but I could tell him anything. He was like a big brother to me. 

"I already know the song so we shouldn't have any problems with this," we all laughed as Travis gave me the final, and biggest, hug. 

"I'm so happy you're doing this. Everyone will love you!" I wasn't so sure about that but I had Travis meaning that everything would be alright. We practiced together a few times making me more comfortable about performing. 

"Starbucks break?" asked Charles after our final rehearsal. I agreed immediately. Me, Charles, Danny and Coley took a trip to the nearest Starbucks down the street talking and laughing the whole way down. 

We ordered our drinks after fighting about how I'm not allowed to pay for all of the drinks or for my own. We got the drinks and headed back for the venue right after the opening act got on stage. They got ready for the show then hurried back to sit with me. 

"Ready to sing?" asked Travis wrapping his arms around me. 

"No but I'm doing it anyways." 

"You'll do great, don't worry." I nodded even though I was so nervous. My anxiety attack kicked in and I then realized I couldn't do this. I had to do this though, for them. Finally it was time for them to go on stage. I watched the amazing performance put on by these amazing and talented guys. This crowd was different from the crowds I was used to. What if they didn't like me? What if I forgot the words? 

The show slowly crept on until it was time for me to go on stage for the final song of the encore. I listened as Trav sang the first verse. I was handed a microphone and I knew that it was my queue to go on. He sang the chorus and I stepped out on stage, revealing myself to the audience. The auditorium was filled with the sound of screams from the excited fans. Then it was my turn to entertain them. 

Do you remember the nights

We made our way dreaming

Hoping of being

Someone big

We were so young then

We were too crazy

In love

The crowd screamed and I continued to sing the parts I was supposed to. Finally it was over and Travis introduced me to the crowd then gave me a long hug and said goodnight to the crowd. He exited the stage with me and the rest of the band, tackling me when we were out of sight. 

"You did amazing! I told you that you would be fine. They loved you." 

The rest of the band tackled me with hugs. 

"You did amazing, I'm proud," laughed Hunter giving me the last hug. 

After they went out to meet fans, they took me to Alex's house, stopping in front of the house. 

"We'll miss you Danielle, don't forget to call us and keep in touch!" said Coley. 

"I won't forget! Thanks so much for tonight I had so much fun! Oh and Hunter, I have a late birthday present for you, wait on the bus and I'll bring it out," I smiled running off the bus. 

I unlocked Alex's door and turned on all of the lights seeing Alex on the couch with the TV on. But he wasn't alone. There was a girl on his lap with her tonuge down his throat. I gasped and tried to hold back tears but they just came out, streaming down my face and ruining my makeup. Alex turned back,"Danielle, it's not what it looks like, please!" 

I didn't respond, I ran out of the house, slamming the door behind me and running to the bus, tears coming down faster than ever. 

"Danielle? What happened are you ok? Danielle!?" I ran into Travis' arms. He told the driver to keep driving to their next destination. "You're staying with us until further notice." He picked me up bridal style and carried me to the back, sitting down on the couch with me curled up on his lap. He stroked my hair until I fell asleep in his arms, tears staining my face. How could he?
