Band member short stories

---part 5

Lizzi and I rushed back to the house and we got changed into the same outfits we wore when we saw bring me the horizon the first time.

We got in the car and drove to the arena, when we got there I showed them the pass and they immediately escorted us to backstage. We had no idea where we were, where we were going or even where the stage was.

As we were wandering around aimlessly and confused I tripped over a wire, pulling it out. Suddenly about 10 guys started shouting at me and then I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders, "Guys, leave him alone! He didn't know where he was going for fuck sake!" The voice shouted.

I looked up and behind me and saw Oli stood, smiling at me. He quickly pecked my lips and led me and Lizzi off. Before we knew it we were backstage with Of mice & men and Bring me the horizon.

I felt so privileged to be able to come backstage with them, and from the looks of it so did Lizzi. She was stood in complete awe of the people.

I decided to leave Oli and Lizzi alone, seen as I spend quite a reasonable amount of time with them. So I walked over to Aaron, from Of mice & men and started a conversation as normal as I could get, when my inner fanboy was coming out.

"Hey" I awkwardly said to Aaron smiling. "Hey, you're they kid that Oli has taken quite a shine to aren't you?" Aaron winked at me. The act that Oli had gone around and told people about "us" was so exciting. "Yeah that's me!" I sniggered. "Well you seem pretty cool! You're not freaking out like a lot of people would in your situation..." Aaron said attempting to compliment me. "Trust me, I am screaming and crying inside!" I laughed.

I felt like the people I were surrounded with had been my friends for months, even years for some. Nothing was awkward at all, that one upside.

"Two minutes!" A woman loudly shouted in our room. All the band members picked up their instruments and headed side stage, stretching to get ready for the show. Of mice & men were meant to go in first so I had a chance to stay with Oli a bit longer and watch one of my favourite bands.

They ran on stage and started playing. "You're cute when you smile." Oli said obviously noticing my grin. "Thanks, you do too!" I replied. Smooth, Josh! I thought. 'You do too' what as I thinking.

Lizzi grabbed my arm and pulled me aside. "Can I just say, you and Oli are so lovey dovey! I've never seen him look or act like that, even Matt Nicholas said so!" She admitted. I smiled in a cheeky way, like I did when I was nervous.

I drifted back over to Oli, sliding under his arm. I looked up at him and reached up for another kiss before getting back to watching Austin sing with Of mice & men.

Before we knew it, the set was over and it was Oli's turn to go in stage. I think I was as excited as him as he ran on stage and the crowd cheered. They were his behind a screen with a white light flashing on and off. They walked toward to the start of the song and then the screen dropped. The show started.

I was head banging, singing, jumping, everything I would have been doing if I was in the crowd. To be honest I think I looked slightly out of place because Lizzi was talking to Alan and everyone else was smiling and slightly swaying to the music.

The show finished and Oli ran off stage followed by Matt K, Lee, Matt N and Jordan. I was grabbed by Oli as he almost span me around.

"You were so good!" I shouted as Oli kissed me. "Thanks, do you guys wanna come to the after party in the bus?" Oli asked. I smiled, "Yeah!"

We all had a beer backstage before heading to the bus, we were having a separate party to the guys in Of mice & men today because they had all the crew with them too.

After an hour of partying, dancing and a lot of whiskey and beer, I guess you could say things were getting a little more heated between me and Oli. Oli grabbed my arm and took me into the arena, where we could lock the door.

Oli locked the door behind us and we sat on the sofa, kissing passionately. I knew where this was heading and to be honest I was quite nervous.

Oli started undoing the top buttons if my shirt when I pulled away. "What up?" He asked. "I...I just haven't done this before..." I admitted. "Don't worry, you'll be fine, I was nervous my first time too. Do you want to?" Oli asked compassionately. "Yeah, sorry, I'm ready." I smiled at him and we got back to kissing.

I pulled away to take my top off and so did Oli, then immediately got back to kissing. Before I knew it we were starting to take off our skinny jeans. They took some effort. As Oli helped take mine off he stopped for a minute and saw the scars on my thighs.

He looked at me in the eyes and then back at my thighs. I felt so ashamed, I didn't want him to notice them, but how could he? He ran his hand over them and then bent down and started kissing them. I laughed, it kinda tickled and I felt like crying because I was overly happy he didn't want to stop because of it.

He looked back at me and kissed me hard and then he got on his knees. I couldn't believe this was happening.

----------------------------------------------

We lay there for a minute, sweaty and tired. "They say drunk sex is the best sex." Oli laughed. "Well, that's one thing that got right." I laughed again with him.

I looked at him looking at my wrists, and I was looking at his tattoos. They look a lot better in person than in pictures. I looked back at Oli who was still looking at my wrists. I had to make a snappy deduction on wether to hide them or show him.

"They're distracting aren't they?" I said holding my wrist out. "It's not that they're distracting, they make me feel like I hadn't reached you in time, it makes me sad to be honest!" He said his eyes slightly filling with tears. I hugged him, "but you were there for me, you just didn't know it." I smiled.

----------------------------------------------

Me and Oli made our way back to the bus where the party had died down a little but was still going strong. Lizzi looked at me with "the look" as if to say did you? I nodded at her and she winked and smiled.

Oli looked at me as we sat down on the chairs outside. "So I wanted to ask you if you and your friend Lizzi wanted to come with us on tour? Matt has taken a liking to her." Oli giggled. "Oh my god, yeah, of course I will I'll ask Lizzi!" I shouted standing up. Oli pulled my arm and sat me back down, "Lizzi already said yeah, I was waiting to ask you!" He laughed.

I hugged him whispering in his ear, "thank you so much..."
