Chapter 7: 18th Brithday Already?

Chapter 7
-

My reaction to that piece of news was huge.
"What?!" I exclaim, she nods shyly.
"Oh, Ashley this is Erin. I knew her in high school and she's touring with us." I shake Ashley's hand and almost scream, this was so cool!
"Um, I don't mean to be a total Fangirl but do you mind taking a picture with me and signing something?" I ask quietly.
"Sure!" Ashley says after he looks at the other members of the band. I look too and see all of my idols, Jinxx, Jake Pitts, CC, Andy Biersack and of course Ashley Purdy. I pull out my phone with a little difficulty and wince as pain stabs into me.
"Ah." I grit my teeth and try to smile. "Sorry, uh broken ribs." I say as everyone looks at me with concern.
"Oh I know the feeling." Andy comments with sympathy and I remember that he broke 3 of his ribs at a show once. We snap a quick picture and I get them to sign a few things, I smile in joy as they hug me and we say goodbye.
"Call me sometime Crim, keep in touch. Now that you're a famous rock star too I can't just visit you at home." She smiles and then wheels me back to where everyone else is chatting before.
"Hey you finally made it back." Logan says,
"Yeah, we got a little...side tracked." Crim says as she parts my arm. I pretend to shoo her hand away and blush. Now everyone is looking as me and embarrassed I say,
"We met Black Veil Brides." I smile a bit and bite my lip looking at Ash and Christian who share a look between them and seem to have a silent conversation.
"Well most of you don't know this but Ashley is actually my brother." Crim states and that takes the tension out of the air.
"Woah, I didn't know that Crim." Christian exclaims, she smiles and nods.
"We could go back to the bus or watch a few bands while we have the chance." Ash suggests as we sit there,
"I vote for staying and watching." Logan says strongly, something I haven't seen in awhile.
"Right, well we should have buddies so none of us get lost." Axel chuckles and I remember a story they had told me a while ago. I look towards Logan and we meet eyes,
"I'll go with Erin." He says everyone nods, Axel goes with Cash and Ash and Christian go together. That leaves Crim and she brushes it off,
"It's fine, I wouldn't mind talking with someone I saw earlier." We nod and Ash smiles suspiciously and I wonder what that's all about. We all head off to separate places, Logan walks along side me as I wheel myself through the grass.
"Where do you want to go?" I ask as we go along in a random direction.
"I have no clue, oh! I see a signing for Paramore, wanna go there? I love that band." I nod,
"Sure!" We get in line as the tent for Paramore is slowing down, soon we're at the table and I pull out a piece of paper from my pocket that's an old lined piece of paper from school. I hold it out to Hayley Williams who is the lead singer and she smiles as she signs it and writes a small message, I get the rest of the members to as well and snap a quick picture. We walk away and Logan's phone starts to buzz, he looks at it and answers.
"Cash?" He walks a little ways away from me and I stay there until he comes back and says,
"They've all agreed to meet back by the bus around 9:00 and it's 8:30 now so we have a little bit. I nod and we continue walking around...well him walking and me rolling but anyway. I see Juliet Simms performing and pull over to the side to listen, Logan follows me and I hear her song 'Not Broken Yet':
'Back when we first kissed it felt like every star above our heads aligned. Every little piece fell into place," it continued and I smiled when the lead singer from BVB, Andy Biersack came out on stage and sang with her. When the song was over we continued on, seeing and hearing bands like All Time Low and Asking Alexandria.
"We should probably head back to the bus now." Logan comments and I agree when I realize it's 8:55. We walk away from all the awesome rock and roll noise and soon reach the bus only no one is there.
"Are you sure we're supposed to be here?" I ask as we look around and don't see them.
"Yeah, hang on a second I'll call Cash." He dials and gets a hold of someone, "hey where are you guys?" I hear him ask and he looks over at me suddenly, only not at me. He's looking right behind me and smiles.
"Oh yeah she's here." He laughs as I turn around to hear,
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN!" I see All the guys and Crim holding a box wrapped in paper and a cake on top. A huge smile comes over my face as I realize I had completely forgotten that today was my 16th birthday!
"Gosh, is it already the 21st of June?" I ask as they all smile.
"Come on, open the box." Ash urges, he has his arm around Crim. I wheel up to it and slowly start to peel away the paper and open the box, what I see inside makes me scream in happiness. I see a blood red electric guitar with an amp.
"Oh my gosh! When did you get this?" I ask them as I pick it up slowly and admire the amazing instrument.
"I know you heard me and Crim talking this morning in your room, she's a master at hiding and planning things. I bought it with Christians help when we were coming home on the tour, hoping to surprise you with an early birthday present but as things were it wasn't fit for then." I hold out my arms and he comes over to hug me,
"Thank you so much." I whisper he nods and doesn't let go for a while, finally he pulls away a little and says,
"Now you can attack those dreams of yours." My smile widens and I pull them all in for a group hug.
"Thank you all so much, you guys are all amazing." We get on the bus and Logan helps me out of the wheelchair and into my room.
"Thanks Lo."
"No problem." He smiles at me and it's a smile I haven't seen in a long time, we stand there for a second then I say,
"I didn't know you were so into music that you wrote some." He nods and his cheeks go red, I hug him and he leaves. I collapse on my bed after I get changed and I'm climbing into my bed when Crim quietly comes in the door, she's also changed into PJs and comes slowly up to me and kisses my forehead,
"So glad your ok." She whispers as she walks back down and climbs into her own bed.
