Silent Road Home

~Chapter 5~

(BANDS POV)
    -before she wakes up-     

     I'm sitting on the couch in the tour bus listening to music, Grant is bothering the driver in the passenger seat, Anthony is hanging with Jessi in the back playin videogames hooked up to the t.v.  

"Woah, we have a flat tire. Okay okay, no biggy, just gotta pull on over here." Johnnie our bus driver says and pulls the bus over on the side of the road. We all pile out to stretch our legs and walk around a little bit.   I step out and smile taking in some fresh air.  I start to walk around on the grass and just look at the trees. I love looking at trees for some odd reason. I've always been really fascinated at how tall they can get..

   I look closer at the ground for a second when I notice what looks like a girl laying there?  I start to walk over to the place in the grass where I saw the girl like figure and sure enough...
There lays a teenage looking girl with brown hair and a soft face..  I stare for a minute before dropping beside her in almost a panic. My first thought is wow she's gorgeous.. My second is WHAT AM I DOING JUST STANDING HERE!?
I call the others over to look. They scramble to get here all gasping and AW DUDE-ing each other.
I pick her up which isn't hard to manage considering she seems to weigh not more than about 110.
I rush her into the bus almost hitting her head on the door.
"Crap," I mumble under my breath.
I sit her down on the couch and squat beside her, the boys following behind me. I feel her wrist to check her pulse and that seems fine.  I check for any wounds or blood and find nothing.
"She's sweating, she probably got to hot while running or something. She seems fine. Someone get a  cold wet cloth, please. I'm going to try and get her awake so she doesn't go into shock."
Anthony comes back with the cold soaked cloth and hands it to me.
"She will be shocked when she wakes up to a bunch of boys on a bus!" He chuckles seriously. The other boys just stand there and watch.
I dab her head softly staring at her soft skin. Her eyes are lightly shut, her cheekbones are just the right height, and her lips are perfectly laid together so it fits the rest of her face.. I bite my lip as I watch her start breathing a bit heavier.

"She okay, dude?"  Jessi says raising his eyebrows slightly.
I nod and keep dabbing her face a bit slower.
"Just keep it down. She probably needs some rest.." I say noticing the bags under her eyes. She looks so defeated yet almost... Beautiful..

A few minutes into me dabbing she slowly opens her eyes and stares at me above her. Her eyes are this amazing blue green color I've never seen before.
I must've been staring for awhile when I didn't realize it. She raises an eyebrow before her eyes widen and she starts to sit up and leans on an elbow. She looks around a confused look on her face.. I don't blame her honestly.

"Where am I? Why? What happened!?" She speaks weakly. "Oh god-" she looks terrified now as she looks around more. "I'm being kidnapped! Well great! Just freaking great! Just what I needed. ANOTHER AMAZING ADD ON TO MY DA-"
I frown as they laugh together.
"Hon.. No. We had a flat tire and pulled over. I saw you laying there and we brought you in here so you wouldn't just lay there. It seemed wrong." I smile warmly at her using my deep dimples.
"O-oh.. I must've got dehydrated.." She starts to lay back as I help her. I look over at the boys and motion for them to grab a water. They scramble to get to the fridge all fighting to just grab a single water bottle. I look at them and back at her constantly.
I'm Conrad. I'm 17 and in the struggling band I've been in for 5 years, Heres the Gravity. I'm one of 4 members. There's me, Jessi, Anthony, and Grant. I'm the drummer, Anthony bass, Jessi lead guitar, and Grant sings. That's just a little bit about us I guess.

Grant ends up bringing me the water with the rest following and smiling at her, waving from behind me. I chuckle and shake my head handing her the bottle of water.
"T-thanks," she takes the bottle and leans up again twisting it open. We watch as she downs the whole bottle in about 30 seconds. I smirk as my eyes widen.
"Geez." Anthony says.
She chuckles and coughs slightly as she twists the cap back on.
"That was refreshing." She sits up slowly and I help by resting my hand on her back. When I do that I feel a shock of energy when she looks at me. She smiles as I feel my cheeks heat up to about 100° but I smile back.
"So. Where we to?" She looks at all of us.
"Well we were thinking your house? Your paren-" she cuts me off in a panic.
"No, no, no! It's okay! T-they'll be fine. They think I'm going to my friends house for the weekend. I-it'll be okay."
I hold my hands up in surrender.
"Well alright!" I chuckle.
"We're headed for L.A for the weekend though. If you don't mind." Jessi adds.
She shakes her head.
"Not a problem. I can actually find a hotel or something when we get somewhere if you don't want me on the bus? What are y'all doing here anyway?" We're all disappointed when she says that. She doesn't know our band..
"W-we're actually a band. Here's the Gravity. We're pretty big on YouTube to be honest." Grant coughs that out.
"Yeah. We're on tour actually." Anthony says looking at her. I look back at her to. She smiles at us a bit shocked.
"Oh. Well yeah I defiantly should leave. I don't wanna be a disturbance to your tour or anything." She says considerately. We all start shaking our heads.
"Oh no! You're welcome to stay as long as you'd like! You seem rad." I say. Rad is my nickname so I use that term a lot. It's my thing I guess..
