The Roadie

#2 "First day on the road"

For the first time In my life am i up from bed in a good time. My alarm was set on 5:30 am so I could pack my bag and eat breakfast without stress but I guess I was a bitt nervous because I woke up 5 am.

I went to the living room to wake up Thomas who had spend the night at my place. He said he wanted to sleep here so I wouldn't miss the time but I know that he wanted to be with me as much as possible before I leave for some months.

"Wake up sleepy head" I say shaking him gently.
"What time is it?" He asks.
"Uhm 5 ish"
"Why are you up already? I thought that I would have to drag you out of bed" he asks with his head down in the pillow.
"I'm nervous I guess" I say sitting on his back.
"Oh no, please get off me" he groans.
"If you get up and makes me breakfast" I snap.
"Alright" he says and I stands up on the floor.

7:00 am

As promised a limo turned up outside my house at exactly 7.
I hugged Thomas one last time, grabbed my bags and got in the car.

'This limo wasn't even half as fancy as Duff's...' I thought to myself. 'But hey it's still a limousine'

We turned out on the big road on the way to the airport where the plane waited for me and the other roadies.
It was many cars out this early in the morning blocking our way. I saw on the clock that it would be impossible for us to reach the airport in time. 'Damn' I thought to myself.

Then my cellphone started to vibrate. I looked at it and an unknown number showed on the screen.
I picked up and said:

Hello? Who is this?
Hi, this is Amanda right? Amanda Jackson? The other person asks.
Yeah that's me... I answer confused.
My name is Sam and I got your number from Tommy, he said you were a new roadie and I just wonder where you are because our flight is leaving soon. She said.
Ehm I don't know if I'll make it in time, I'm stuck in traffic jam... I say a bit ashamed.
Oh wait I'll call Tommy and ask what to do I'll call you back soon. She said and hung up.

I had gotten a text from Thomas, Hope you'll have fun. I've read a bitt about this band and it's not clean. No drugs and no alcohol for you! Stay safe and take care // Thomas 😘

I answer, I'm stuck in traffic jam now 😁, I won't do anything stupid I promise and I don't think I'll be much with the band I'm just a roadie you know. Miss you 😘// Manda💕

Right after I had clicked send was Sam calling again.

Hi again, we can't wait on you cause we need to get there in time to fix everything you know but Tommy said you could join them on their flight. They have another airport,  private one you know. She said. Do you know how to get there or do you want me to send you the address?

Oh I'm not driving, but maybe the chauffeur need the address. I say

Do you have a chauffeur!?. She asks a bit chocked.

Yeah, a limo picked me up at home. I say confused. Doesn't all the roadies get a lift there? I thought to myself.

What?! Who send it?

Tommy told me a limo would pick me up? What's wrong?

Well you should feel special because you are the only roadie who gets picked up in a limo. She said with a laugh.

We finished the conversation and hang up.
I fell asleep in the back of the limo and I must had slept heavily because when I woke up I was on the plane...
