Killing The Time By Counting The Stars In Your Eyes |BxB|

Noah Cerino

Noah's P.O.V

My nice awakening in the morning was a shake of my torso given to me by Kendrick, whom we called Kenny, and a poke on the stomach. 

"I swear Noah," came Kenny's voice "you better not be dead," I chuckle and roll over on my side facing away from my fellow band members. 

"I'm tired" I yawned and snuggle into the tour buses hard mattress, it wasn't the most comfortable thing to sleep on. "I didn't fall asleep until 5:15" I mumbled and look over to everyone who seemed to be amused by everything that's going on.

"Hey... What's so funny?" I ask and groan seeing the daylight coming from the shaded window, as we go over bumps the shade bounces against the frame of the wall. "Where even are we anyway?"

Garrett chuckle and runs a hand through his hair looking at me with a warm smile "it is currently," he looked at his watch "1:23 in the afternoon" he said and cracked his knuckles "and we have arrived in Portland, we should be at the hotel in a few minutes" Garrett finished and relaxed back on the buses couch letting out a yawn and settling down.

We soon pulled up to a big building that read The Mary Manor Inn  I sighed and got up from my bed grabbing my back, soon after there were screams and happy cries coming from outside, oh great, fan-girls. As long as things don't turn out like last time I should be fine.

"Are you still salty about that?" Jacob laughed, the other guys turned from grabbing their stuff to look at me, I guess my discomfort was showing on my face, I quickly went back to looking normal again, relaxing my face so my nose was no longer scrunched up.

"Shut up," I say and roll my eyes heading towards the door following behind our bodyguards Henry and Tom "I'm fine so don't say anything about it again" I mumbled and Jacob snickers from behind me.

We all head out only to be greeted by screaming fans of both genders, boys and girls. I waved to them and smiled happily following after Tom as girls tried to push their way closer. There were at least 150 people standing outside of the hotel waiting for us. I'm not even sure how they knew what hotel we would be staying at, maybe Jacob posted something about it on our Facebook

There were 7 of us in the band, Lead singer/me, Backup singer/Sebastian, Drummer/Kendrick, Guitarist/Garrett, Guitarist 2/Scotty, Keyboardist/Jacob, Bass/James. It's a full group full of great people who have their own personalities. Sebastian's the tall quiet type who doesn't like to conversate with other people, he's like the father of the group, standing at 6'4 he's also the tallest. Kendrick is sweet and caring, but he's also strict and sometimes serious, like the mother of the group. Garrett is outgoing and happy-go-lucky a lot of the time and was very fun to be around, he was like the older brother. Scotty, well... Scotty was very moody and acted like he didn't care most of the time, he was your typical moody teenager, he was 19 but acted a lot younger. Jacob was the jokester and prankster of the group, someone who you wanted to have on your side. James was Jacob's younger brother, Jacob was 25 and James was 21, James was very anxious and nervous, kind of like me, but much worse, he's been in and out of mental hospitals he entire life and luckily hasn't been back in one since he joined the band, we always keep him on suicide checks though. Lastly, I was the baby brother of the group, awkward, nerdy, also anxious. I was the youngest of the group as well only being 17 and a drop out of high school. I didn't care about my grades too much to be honest, at the time I had too many things going on in my mind, and that's why I ran away from home, well that and a handful of things. I was also on suicide checks as well, mostly because I have high depression.

We all made our way inside the hotel and after getting checked in we went to our own rooms, two people in each room. Sebastian and Kendrick, James and Jacob,  Me and Scotty, and Garrett by himself. I made why way with Scotty to our room and as soon as we got in I ran to the bed near the window and hopped onto it diving into the softness of the comforter and snuggling into it. 

"So soft,"  I whisper and yawn before looking to Scotty to see him chuckling softly.

"You're such a child," he says and lays down on his own bed "we should get some sleep, we have a concert tonight and I don't perform well when I'm half asleep."

I nod in agreement to his statement, we were performing at the space gallery tonight with 3 other bands. It's not what is sounds like, the place isn't like full of planets or stars or anything of that kind of thing, I'm not actually sure why they call it a space gallery actually. But anyway, the can rent out the building for proms and concerts and that kind of thing, it isn't too big of a space but I heard you can fit up to 700 people in there so let's see how it goes. We were going to be performing Killing Time, Bitter Sweet Words, and Stars In Your Eyes, all songs written by Sabastian and me with the help of his girlfriend Megan.

I looked at Scotty to see him climbing into his bed and pulling the covers over his head groaning to himself, I decided to do the same and smiled letting my eyes close shut and letting myself drift off into a dreamless sleep. Everything would go great tonight, I just needed to keep calm and think about the lyrics I'm singing, the lyrics I help write.
