Ash's POV:

The lights turned off. The crowd started cheering. It's time. The intro to "Other Side" started playing and I walked out on stage. I saw hundreds of exited faces before me. My heart started pounding and the adrenaline rushed through me and I started to sing the first line of the song

"It looks so easy being trapped inside this head of mine

Disturbing dreams and haunting beings they control my mind"

I sang my heart out like I always do and I put all my energy into it. I gave it my all. And I should since today is the last day of Warped tour. I'm so sad. I've gotten to know so many people this summer and it was so much fun being able to perform almost everyday in the sun and doing all the signings and getting to meet all these great bands. Then came the final song.  Angel Eyes. That was the song that I did with Chris. Even though we haven't talked to each other in months. We've both been very busy with our own stuff with touring and all and we haven't gotten the chance to see each other. Not even in Warped Tour. And Motionless in White is also performing in Warped tour. I was kind of hurt when he didn't even acknowledge me for the entire tour but I guess it's kind of my fault too since I didn't acknowledge him either. I performed the song by myself like I have been doing for the past six months and I noticed some looks of disappointment on a few faces when they saw that Chris wasn't gonna come out and perform it with me. But I wasn't thinking about all that when I was performing the song. During the last chorus, I jumped into the crowd and started crowdsurfing and I felt dozens of hands on my back supporting me while I sang the lyrics. Eventually they threw me back up onto the stage and we finished the song and it was all over. Warped tour came to an end for New Years Day. At least for this year. I always get kind of depressed when tours end. Because that means, at least for the next couple weeks I'm not gonna be able to experience touring with my band and performing for our fans.  We walked off the stage and began to head to our tent for our final signing.

Chris's POV:

"Are you ready to go?" Ricky asked me.

"Wait a second just let me finish getting ready." I said as I put on a pair of sunglasses and a black hoodie.

After I finished getting ready we headed out of the tour bus and prayed that our attempt of disguising ourselves would be good enough to keep the fans away. Don't get me wrong, I love our fans. It's just that sometimes It's good to be able to walk around in peace. We started walking around the venue and went to go check out the bands that were playing because we were bored as hell. We didn't recognize any of the bands except for Sleeping With Sirens and we've already seen their set dozens of times so we didn't stop to watch. We walked a little more and then I heard a familiar voice coming from the stage. Oh shit. It was Ash. We haven't talked in months. We just kind of drifted apart I guess. She was singing Angel Eyes. The song we worked on together. I heard Nikki singing my part. Ricky and I stopped in front of the stage to watch the remainder of their set.

"Didn't you guys get into a fight or something?" Asked Ricky.

"No we just kind of stopped talking for some reason" I responded.

"You should start talking to her again." He said.

"Yeah I guess I should" I agreed.

"And then when you do start talking to each other again you should fuck."

"Shut the fuck up" I said to Ricky.

Everyone in the band used to tease me and Ash a lot because of the scene in the music video for Angel Eyes where we had sex and because of all the fanfictions people wrote about us and how we would get questions on social media all the time on whether we were dating or not. It honestly really pisses me off. But the truth is that I really like Ashley. I'm so sad we stopped talking. She's so beautiful but I feel like if I told her that then she would get creeped out and it would ruin our friendship. When the song ended, Ash walked off the stage. And I could tell by her facial expression that she was sad that the tour was over. I can read Ashley very well. I can tell when she's sad and when she's hiding something from me. I'm good at reading people in general but I'm good at reading Ash in particular because I know her very well and we used to spend a lot of time together. What I wouldn't give to get that back.
