The Way It Is (A Pierce the Veil Fanfic) *EDITING*

Chapter 33 - Let's gather round the campfire

~~Jaime's POV~~

So.

These girls are insane.

But a good kind of insane. They're fun.

We are all sitting at picnic tables that are positioned around a fire pit, and it's about 10pm by now. I'm sitting beside Vic and we have our hands clasped together under the table where the girls can't see. Bee demanded that she oversee the music that plays in the background. Which is a mix of like, all our music. Not that I'm surprised. After all, they're here on Warped.

When I say all of us, I don't exactly mean everyone. Some of the buses already had to leave to go to the next venue. Those being BVB, MIW, TØP, Issues, ADTR, ETF, I Prevail and Suicide Silence (except Mitch who stayed with Austin). It's okay though, because the girls got to at least meet them before they left. That leaves OM&M, ATL, FIR, SWS, BMTH and of course, us.

However, the only ones, besides me, the guys and the 4 girls, that are out here by the fire are Jack, Oli, Kells, Austin, Mitch and Alan. Ronnie hasn't made his way over here yet so they haven't even met him.

They're all just chatting about nothing and everything. I'm just observing, listening and thinking.

Shan now has a journal full of autographs, along with some signed picks. Liz and Bee both had AP Magazine issues that they brought to have us sign. They're all so nice, sweet and funny. Well, Bee and Liz can be kinda mean. But it's an okay kind of mean. Bee is just a little scary. They're sweet girls though.

"Well mates, I've got to pop off. The lads want to hit the road tonight instead of tomorrow." Oli announced, standing up and running a hand through his long hair with a sigh.

"Boo, you whore." Liz pouted, earning laughs from all around.

"Bye Olipop!" Bee and Shan squealed, running over to hug him. Liz slowly trudged over to join the group hug.

"I'll catch you later, loves." He chuckled, placing kisses to the tops of each of their heads. They let him go, looking a little sad. "Lads." He waved to the rest of us before turning and disappearing into the dark.

Kellin is in the middle of conversation with Jace when Justin runs over to the group.

"Kellin, you asshat. We've been trying to call you for like the past hour." He shouts, crossing his arms.

"Well dude, I've been right here." He laughs, "What's up?"

"Manager says we have to leave if you're gonna make it to the airport on time." Jus informs.

"Oh shit. Okay. Ladies, it's been a pleasure. Dudes, I'll see you later!" He rushes, quickly hugging the girls, who also hug Justin again.

"Bye Justy! By Kelli Qwon!" Shan giggled, waving to them as they ran off toward their bus. She then turned back to continue talking to Alan, who she hasn't stopped talking to since they met. Alan seems to really like her though, which is awesome.

"And then, there were 12." Mike laughed.

"Actually..." Jack trailed, looking down at his phone. "Make that 11. Lex just texted. They want me back."

"Lame!" Liz yelled, pouting a little. She does that a lot, but she's only 16 so it's understandable.

"I know. I'm just so amazing. You're gonna miss me when I'm gone." Jack joked, waving to us all before leaving with a wink and blowing a kiss. He didn't really stay very long. He's only been here for about 20 minutes. He's more of a 'let's get plastered' type and the girls can't drink. Not legally, at least.
