I went to my seat in the arena. Jackson just finished. I saw him run back stage and hug Ally. MKTO was on now. when they came on stage an introduced themselves, Tony winked at me. The girl next to me elbowed me. I shot her a look. She stuck out her hand "I'm Ari" she said. "Liz" I said. "You here with your parents?" asked the girl. "Nope" I said as I pointed to Jackson who we could see back stage. "That's your boyfriend?" she asked in shock. "No, Jackson is my brother" I explained. She nodded. She was silent for about three minutes. "Wait Jackson Guthy is you brother!" She asked. "Uhm... yeah" I said. "Oh cool, I'm part of stage crew" she said. "Oh yeah, I though you looked familiar" I said. She gripped my arm. "Yeah, I'm following them around on tour, setting up the stage" she said. I nodded. We exchanged numbers and made plans to hang out after the show. She reminded me of my best friend back home. When MKTO was done performing I skipped the rest of the show since I've seen it a thousand times. I went to Tony and Malcolm's dressing room. I knocked then walked in. Malcolm was sitting shirtless on the couch. Tony was laying in a chair. "Hey cupcake" he said. "What's wrong?" I asked as a patted his back. Something was obviously wrong. "I'm just not feeling so well" he said. I felt his head. He was sweating. "Is there anything I can do for you?" I asked. "No, I'm fine" he said. I was about to walk away until Tony stopped me. "Well, actually you can do one thing for me" he said with a grin on his face. "What might that be?" I asked. He stood from the chair and approached me. He stared down at me. He softly laid his lips on mine. "Aww aren't you two cute?" said Malcolm from behind me. Tony looked over my shoulder at him and shot him a 'shut the fuck up look.' I laughed and walked away. Before leaving the dressing room I congratulated them on their performance. "You guys were great out there" I said. "like always" said Malcolm. I rolled my eyes and then left. I looked at my phone. I received a message from Ari. She said that the concert was over and she asked me to meet her outside in the parking lot. "Hey so you know Jackson right?" I asked. "Well I'm his stage crew, so yeah" she said. I thought as if I was a complete idiot."Come with me" I said as I walked into the arena. I turned back to make sure Ari hasn't wondered off. Suddenly I bumped into someone. "I'm sorry" I said as I looked up to find Drew's sister Kayla Chadwick. "It's fine" she said. We were all about to walk our separate ways until it finally hit me. Kayla Chadwick was the sister of Drew, who was in the band Emblem3."Wait Kayla, are Drew, Keaton, and Wesley busy?" I asked since Ari and I were really bored."No, we were all about to go to the movies, do you two want to come?" asked Kayla. I looked back at Ari who shook her head rapidly. "Sure, will the guys mind?" I asked. "They won't care" she said. I laughed. "Meet us in the parking lot near the flag pole in ten minutes" she said. I nodded and walked back to my bus as Ari followed. When we got there Ally and Jackson were cuddled under a blanket. "Hi there" Ari said to the both of them. Ally smiled. Jackson stood from the couch and shook her hand. "I'm Ari" she said. "Oh yeah, stage crew, I know who you are" he said. "You did a great job on stage" she said. "Oh thanks" he said. Ally pulled him back down onto the couch. "Hey Ally, Ari and I are going to the movies with Kayla, Drew, Keaton, and Wesley. Wanna come?" I asked. "Sure" she said as she stood from the couch. Jackson stood up after her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. He laid his forehead on hers. "Don't go, stay with me" he whined. Jackson made a puppy dog face. "Okay, fine" she said. Jackson pulled her into the bedroom. Ew, not this again. I grabbed Ari and pulled her out of the bus. "I guess she's busy" I said. We both laughed and walked toward the flag pole. Everyone was all ready. We took two cars. Drew drove in one, with Wesley in the passengers seat, Kayla and Ari in the back. There was one more seat but Drew's car was a mess so I offered to go with Keaton. I got in the car. Keaton turned up the radio. One of Emblem3's songs was on the radio. It was 3000 miles. "Guess what?" he said. "What?" I asked. "Today, it's my-" I cut him off. "I know, it's your birthday" I said. "How did you know?" he asked. "I heard some fans talking in the arena" I said. He nodded. "Well happy birthday Keaton" I said. He laughed. "thanks" he said as he pulled into the theater. I got out of the car. Keaton and I walked into the theater to find everyone already seated. I sat next to Ari. The movie was good. It was called "the way way back." I'm pretty sure that none of the guys like it though. The movie ended quickly. When we all went outside, it was dark. We all climbed into the cars. Keaton and I stopped for smoothies on the way back. I got my favorite, strawberry splat. "So did you like the movie pop n' lock?" asked Keaton. I shot a glare. "I liked the movie, but trust me, I'm no pop n' lock" I insisted. "We'll you have to proof yourself! The guys and I are going to this club next weekend when we play in Vegas. You better come, show me your moves." Keaton said. I rolled my eyes. "I'll go, I'll show you my moves" I said. Keaton parked the car. "See you later pop n' lock!" he said as he walked away. I walked to Tony and Malcolm's bus. I knocked on the door. Malcolm answered it. I walked in. "where's tony?" I asked. Malcolm pointed to the back bedroom of the bus. I walked into Tonys room. He was laying on the bed. I plopped down next to him. "How are you feeling?" iI asked. He turned to me. "A bit better" he said. I messed up his hair. He spotted the smoothie in my Hand an reached for it. I jerked it back, took one last sip, then gave it to him. he slurped it down quickly. "Ugh.... brain freeeeeze" he whined as he shoved his head to my collar bone. After about two minutes, he looked up at me, kissed me, then laid back down next to me. I moved my head to the side, then gently laid my head on Tony's chest. He tangled my hair in his fingers, as I stared at the ceiling. I stayed there the night, for I was scared of what Ally and Jack were doing in my bus.
