{ A/N: Hey guys, for those who regularly read my stories or follow me, you know that my fav band is The Beatles. However, I love Van Halen too and decided to write this, because, why not. Anyways, old and new readers, I hope you enjoy}
"Ed, come on, the bus is here," my brother, Alex, whispered as he shook me awake. I groaned and threw a pillow at him. In response he punched my back.
"Come on dick head, don't let us down already," Alex snarled.
"Alright, alright. Give me a couple minutes," I grumpily mumbled as I made my way up. Alex walked out and closed my door quietly, as to not wake our parents.
I got up, tired, but stoked as fuck. I couldn't believe that we were touring for a year, let alone touring at all. We were only signed a year ago, and we just had our album out a month ago, and now we're going on an almost year long tour with Journey, Montrose, and Black Sabbath? Pinch me, I'm certainly dreaming.
I got dressed, brushed my teeth and hair, and hauled my bags to our shitty little tour bus. Dave was standing outside, smoking a cigarette.
"Mornin' Edward," Dave said, nodding.
"Hey Dave."
"Are you ready for today?" Dave asked enthusiastically.
"Oh, of course man. I'm just tired as fuck. Didn't go to sleep as early as I should have.."
Dave chuckled and stomped out his cig. He grabbed some of my bags and helped me load them on the bus. When I stepped back off the bus to go get one more bag, I saw my parents standing in the doorway.
"Hey guys, I hope we didn't wake you," I said to my parents.
"Actually Alex woke us up. He wanted to say goodbye," my mother said with a chuckle.
"Oh well, I'm glad someone did. Goodbye you guys, I love you," I said as I hugged my parents tight.
"We love you too," my father said. I was really going to miss my dad. He was a great influence on me. Well, except for getting me hooked on alcohol and cigs at an early age; but oh well.
After all the goodbyes, Alex and I got on the tour bus and Van Halen was officially headed to our first stop: Chicago. Which by driving there is going to take us about roughly 3-4 days. We have it all planned out: each of us is going to take turns driving so we can get sleep; of course we also calculated time in to eat and put in gas.
That first night on the road was fun. We were all so full of energy and laughing and what not. However, something made that bus stop that would change our tour..
