Sempiternal

Chapter 4

Oli reached up to knock on their door, but I grabbed his hand and pulled it down. 

"Wait! You're really taking me in there?" I asked in a whisper-yell.

"Yea? Why, you don't want to meet them?" Oli said.

"I do, but. I don't know. What if they don't like me?" I asked again, getting a bit more insecure, looking down at my outfit. Like, my shirt cut down low around the arms, enough so that a good six inches of my ribcage showing. Oli rolled his eyes, but pulled me into a hug anyway.

"They will absolutely love you. Now, let's go!" He released me and knocked on the door. A few seconds later, none other than Ashley Purdy answered the door. He smiled and looked over at Oli.

"Hey, Oli. How's it going?" He asked, then took notice of me. "Ooo who's this? Your girlfriend?" Me and Oli looked at each other, then fake gagged. 

"No, dude. That's my sister." Oli explained.

"You have a sister and a brother?" Ashley scrunched his eyebrows together.

"No? Just my sister." Oli said, just as confused.

"But, when you said it was your sibling calling that time, the ID said Dylan." He said. I sighed and took every ounce of willpower not to roll my eyes.

"My name is Dylan," I cleared up. Ashley looked surprised.

"But you're a girl, Dylan." 

"And you're a boy, Ashley." He squinted at me. Then did the hand guns.

"Touché." He laughed then turned to Oli. "Still, though, what's up?"

"I thought I'd swing by and introduce Dylan to everyone," Oli said. Ashley nodded and motioned for us to come in. Their bus was similar to ours, but with leather furniture instead of plush. And they had carpet while we had hardwood. 

"Yo guys! Oli's here with his sister, come out and meet her!" Ashley shouted. One by one all the other BVB members came out of hiding and introduced themselves. I met CC, Jinxx, and Jake. They were all just as confused about my name as Ashley was. I had met everyone except for Andy. Ashley huffed and went to go find him. During that, me and the other guys sat and talked, getting to know each other. Ashley came back out a few minutes later, dragging a sleepy Andy behind him. 

"Andy, Dylan. Dylan, Andy." Ashley introduced us. Suddenly Andy seemed very awake, probably because there was a new person on the bus. He stuck out his hand for me to shake, which I did. We were all sitting and chatting, and I noticed Andy glance at me a couple times out of the corner of my eye. Suddenly, Oli's phone started ringing. He mouthed an apology, then went into the kitchen to talk. He emerged a minute later, a worried look on his face.

"What happened?" I asked him. He looked up at me and sighed.

"Stay and hang out with these guys for a while. Vegan was being an idiot and twisted his ankle," Oli said. I cringed at the memory. I had done the same thing about a year ago. I nodded and Oli quickly left to go check on the injured one. I sighed. 

"Hey, any of you know where the Pierce the Veil bus is?" I asked. I wanted to hang out with Vic. He was one of my best friends, along with Kellin Quinn and Jack Barakat. 

"I do," Andy said and stood up. "I'll bring you over." I nodded and headed towards the door, saying bye to the rest of the guys. We stepped out and started in the direction of the PTV bus. But then my phone started ringing. It was Oli.

"Hey, Olober. Everything good?" I greeted.

"Get down here, now. The bus is flooding." He said frantically. I hung up.

"Shit," I muttered and took off toward our bus. Andy followed behind me. When I got there, the bus was nearly halfway full of water, and the rest of my brother's band were all freaking out. Well this is just great.
