Wake Me Up

Chapter 11

ONE MONTH LATER

Monica's POV : Dave and I had been taking non-stop, despite living in different cities. I had learned a lot about him in such a short period of time. I found out he was a in a band as a screamer. I have it bad for guys who are in bands i guess.

Today he was driving up to San Antonio and I couldn't be more excited. After I cut Andy off, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. My life had been going great. I was glad I wouldn't have to see him anymore.

Suddenly there was a knock on my door. When I opened it, red roses were in front of my face. "Hey," Dave said with that perfect smile of his. "Come on in !" I said grabbing the deep red roses and motioning him inside. We sat on the couch "so summer's near," he said. "I know ! I'm so excited, we could spend more time together," I smiled at the thought.

"About that...." Uh oh. "My band and I are doing warped tour this summer." "OMG DAVE THAT'S GREAT !" I said hugging him. "BUT I was thinking that maybe you could come on tour with us for however long you want," Dave said making it sound like a question. "Hmm well the line-up IS pretty great this year...and I could photograph you guys...a month wouldn't hurt anyone. Sign me up!" "Really ?! This is great I have to let the guys know."

He said grabbing my hand and leaning in to kiss me but I moved, making him kiss my cheek. Don't get me wrong, I liked Dave. But something was holding me back. I've only known him for a month, that's not enough time. But maybe I could give him a chance, after all he's so sweet.

"Monica. I know we've just met a month ago but in one month I've managed to develop this huge crush on you. I want to go on tour with you and show you off to everyone. Bring you on stage and let people know you're mine. I want you to be mine. I'll be gone for 3 months but you'll be with me for 1/3 of that. If you want to take things slow, OKAY that's fine. But just please say you'll be mine ?" Dave looked so nervous. Awh. "We can TRY...," I said.

As soon as I said that I was tackled to the couch with a huge hug and butterfly kisses all over my face. "Thank You ! I promise you won't regret it. We'll take things slow." A gigantic smile spread amongst Dave's face. "You know what ?! I'm taking you to six flags right now, let's go !" before I could say anything Dave was locking my door and leading me to his car.

************************************

"That was so much fun thank you Dave." "Anything for you," he said kissing my cheek lightly. I couldn't help but feel butterflies. Dave is so sweet. He's been a great help this past month. "I can't wait to bring you on tour with me," Dave said.

TWO WEEKS LATER

"Babe you ready to go ? The bus is almost here to take us to Dallas." Warped Tour's first stop was Dallas this year. We had to leave today in order to have everything set up for tomorrow. I ended up getting to be Dave's band merch girl along with one of the band memebers girlfriend. But I was also going to photograph for them. I was excited to finally be able to meet Dave's band. Although I didn't even know their band name.

I was wearing sweatpants and Dave's black jacket with my star wars slippers. Plus my hair was in a messy bun. "yes my dear," I said walking out the bathroom. Dave's and mine relationship was going pretty great though. I was really going to miss Faith but Josh would be taking care of her and I was more than grateful.

"You look so cute darling." "Are you kidding me ? It's 8 in the morning and we're both wearing the exact thing. My hair is a mess, and I'm wearing slippers. I have bags under my eyes," I said pouting.

He cupped my cheeks and said "you look beautiful and super cute now go change because you look too cute." he said. "Ha no. Now let's go," as we walked out the door. We had gotten the bus in satx and the band came to record a music video here. They're already on the bus, meaning Dave and I are the last ones.

Since I was super tired and had bags under my eyes I put some sun glasses on. I also put my hoodie over my head, the hood was big which I was grateful for considering my hair looked horrible.

"Darling they're here. I'll put our luggage away, you go say hi and take a nap. I'll be there soon." I did as I was told and got on the bus. I was greeted by hellos and was going to return them when I noticed  who the band was. I gulped. It's Crown the Empire. But Andy was no where to be seen. Maybe it was just because I was tired. Yea that's it.

"Hello, you must be the girl Dave always talks about, I'm Brent." I know who you are, no need to introduce yourself. "H-hi you can call me Moni." Then the greetings continued. I felt absolutely sick to my stomach. I'm just glad that they didn't recognize me. "Um may I use your bathroom ?" I asked to no on in particular. "Yes of course, this is your home too. Just go, no need to ask." Brandon answered.

Just as I was about to go to the restroom someone came out and ran into me. "Oh shoot I'm so sorry." my heart froze. I knew that voice anywhere. I kept my head low and mumbled an "it's okay."

"YO I LOVE YOUR SLIPPERS MY EX-" I made my voice low and raspy, making sound like i was sick. "You know what nevermind but cool slippers dig them. I find it so cool when girls like star wars." Andy said. "W-what were you going to say about your 'ex' ?" I asked. "Oh it's just she uh, she used to have some EXACTLY like that." "oh." "hey you're Dave's girlfriend right ?" "Yup that's me," I said making jazz hands. He laughed. I missed that laugh.

"Say you wanna meet my girlfriend ? you'll be selling merch with her when you're not photographing us." "I-I-I'm actually really tired. Maybe later ?" "Yea of course, and your name is ?" "Moni." "what's that short for ?" "Moni-monique, it's short for Monique." Jesus I'm sorry for lying.
