The passing 2 months had to be one of the worst, I got a new job at an instrument shop after my dad lectured me to get a better job and his friend owned this store. It wasnt horrible job. Jared, my dads friend was teaching me the guitar and I was actually getting good at it, and I would discover alot of awsome bands as well.
Winston actually sent me postcards of him and the guys and it would literally make my entire day, nothing could ruin my mood on a day I get a silly postcard from him.
I was in the store when I could've sworn that I saw Marcus pass by but I just shook it off. minutes later he walks in and he looked just as surprised as me.
"Alice?" he gasped smiling wide "what are you doing here?" he walked over to me giving me a hug.
"I work here now..wait what are -you- doing here?" I asked confused. seriously confused.
"a good friend of mine asked me to perform with him and his band on this gig over at St. James" he said.
"is everyone else here too..?" I ask him.
"oh no it's just me..Win isn't here" he said with a smile on his face and one eyebrow raised.
"it's not..whatever" I chuckled.
"I can't believe you actually work at Wunjo's Guitars" he told me "please tell me you play something"
"I'm learning" I said proudly.
"good girl" he laughed "well I gotta run, I'll see you around?"
"sure" I smiled.
"hey we should get coffee or something before I leave, I have something that belongs to you" he said and I have him a questioning look.
"you can say it's quite an offer" he winked and walked out.

"so..what do you have that's mine?" I asked with squinted eyes.
"mm right" he said taking a sip of coffee, he later pulled out a badge that had their Gentlemen of the Road sign that had 'crew' on it.
"what is this?" I asked confused.
"I just thought we could drag you along with me and get you a job, what do you think?" he asked with a sly smile.
"are you for real?" I gasped.
"yeah why not, I also thought it would be a better job than the one you've got now" he shrugged.
"oh my god..I don't know what to say" I said.
"say yes!" he exclaimed.
"ok..wow ok I'm in" I said trying not to jump across the table and hug him.
"great, we're leaving in three days so I'm going to arrange you're staying and all of that boring shit with the boys till then" he explained.
"thank you Marcus, really" I thanked him.
"don't thank me, we're friends and friends help each other out right?"

Three days later after packing up everything I need and making all the phone calls I had to make Marcus picks me up and we drive to the airport.
"so what is it exactly that I'll be doing again?" I ask wondering what is it i was going to help them with.
"umm..I'm not exactly sure.." Marcus said with a look on his face that said 'don't punch me'.
"Marcus!" I said with gritted teeth.
"I...don't you know your way with guitars or something I mean you work in a guitar shop!" he stuttered.
"well yeah but I'm not like a professional" I said playing with the plane table.
"neither are we, so you'll be perfect" he laughed assuring me and I shook my head and smiled.

After 7 long hours on that plane we land with terrible backaches. we get in a car and drive to where the rest of them were and my stomach was being invaded by a pain that only nervousness would cause.
I grab my stuff and look around and I see a bus or van of some sort and i could hear the beautiful music of acoustic instuments filling the air and didnt believe how quick my life escilated.
"need help with those?" A Lloyd guy that was with us in the ride asked.
"no I'm good, thanks"
"are you ready for the best as well as shittiest roadtrip of your life" Marcus asks with a soft laugh.
"I could not be more ready than I am now" I chuckled.
"I'll go tell him you're here" Marcus said when he notices me looking around.
a few minutes later I see him jogging his way to me as I sat on the car front.
"hey there amigo" I smile wide shading my eyes from the sun.
"why if it isn't Alice in wonderland" he shouts coming closer with open arms.
"oh yeah, never heard that one before" I laugh going for the hug.
"I fucking missed you" he smiled while I pull myself in and out while holding both his hands.
"yeah I heard you did so I thought I would..I dunno fly all the way here and say hello" I joked.
"well I'm glad you did" he leaned in closer.
"finally a girl in this place" I turn around and see Jemima.
"yeah now you've got someone else to blame for leaving hair and bobby pins everywhere other than poor Jeff" he teased her.
"very funny Win" she laughed and threw her arms around my shoulder.
"lets show her around" she tells Winston hooking her arm with mine.
"I don't want her realizing what a shitty place she'll be stayin' in and change her mind" he said jokingly.
"I won't! and plus this isnt bad at all" I said lightly punching him in the arm.
"you will after you smell us bastards not showering for a week" Marcus shouts laughing and I see Ben laugh as well.
"fucking hell mate don't scare her off" Winston shouts back.
They were literally 10 year olds with beards- well not literally.
"trust me, you'll never be bored around these guys" Jemima giggled.
"I don't think I will" I laughed.
"come on everyone inside we're moving!" I hear a distant shout and realized how different things will be and what an adventure I was stepping into, and boy was I ready for a change!
