Closure ~Asking Alexandria Love Story ~

Chapter Nine - The Match

"MUM!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, sweating, panting, crying.

James was lying next to me, he was already awake.

I flew out of his arms and puleld my knees to my chest, rocking myself forwards and backwards. "It's okay" I whispered to myself. "I'm okay"

I felt Jameses grip around my waist pulling me back to him. he put his arm under my legs and turned me around so my legs were over his, he pulled my head onto his chest and wrapped me up in the duvet. "Shh, it's okay" he whispered. Brushing through my hair with his fingers nad rocking me. I was frantic. The nightmares were getting worse, why?

"You know you'd get less nightmares if you opened up more you know" he sighed.

"I can't" I sniffled. "You know that"

He sighed again, as if what I said angered him. "Shaney sooner or later you're going to open up, whether it's to me or not, you're going to have to"

I didn't listen, I just shut my eyes and went back to sleep.

I woke up, the light shining through the white silk curtains. I was no longer in James' arms. My eyes were openly lightly and the room was extremely bright a vibrant.

"Aw man I am telling you now I never thought I'd get that shitfaced!" I heard Danny laughing.

"Aw I'm telling you, well tour starts today so this should be one hell of a ride!" James echoed from the bathroom.I could see Danny's head tilted back on the couch. I sat myself up slightly. Let out a huge yawn and ruffled my hair.

Danny turned around, he was hungover judging by his signiture shades, he gave me a little sympathy smile.

"Tired?" he smiled.

I nodded. "Very!"

"Best hurry up and get ready then" he coughed. "Bus'll be here in half an hour" he slowly sank back into the sofa.

"You what?!" I shrieked. I jumped out of bed, I ran to the bathroom and banged on the door, James finally came out, he jeans on showing the hem of his boxers and his shirt in his hand. "All yours" he smiled.

I rushed in and quickly got a shower and managed to straighten my hair. I flew out with a towel around me, luckily for me the guys were watching TV so they couldn't see me sneaking about. I pulled out some blue skinny jeans, a white and black Asking Alexandria baseball shirt..I felt like wearing something cool..and some black adidas hightops. I pulled out a black zip up hoodie and within minutes I was dressed with some time to spare.

I packed up all of my things and threw them with Danny and James' things, the rest of the lads came into the room with their things too, they threw them with ours and we just chilled for a bit.

Finally the tour manager who I learned that his name was Mike, turned up. Excited, stressed but mostly hyped. "BUS IS HERE GUYS!" He yelled.

I went to grab my bag but Danny was in my way. "Here" he gestured, he grabbed my bags as well as his and hopped off to the door and called for me. "Hurry up Shaney baby" he sang. I giggled and ran after him and the guys.

We headed down the stairs and all the way outside to be welcomed by a giant black tour bus with a massive Asking Alexandria sign on either side of it, this was really happening!

The lads were stacking up all their things in the storage compartments outside the bus, Mike nudged me onto the bus. "Up you go doll" he smiled.

I climbed up the steps, the isle was quite big, it was 10 bunks, five on one side, five on the other. Spaced out, between each bunk was 4 drawers to put our clothes in. As I walked down the isle there we sofas, built into the walls facing each other, black. I kept on going, to the left was a bathroom, it had a small shower, toilet, and a small sink, it wasn't much but it was still great, carrying on there was a small room, it was big enough for a flat screen built into the wall, because that is literally what was in it, a sofa, a few consoles, and a CD player that was built into the entire bus, surround sound, you could plug your phone into it too! I exited the room, just before the 'game' room as we call it, there was a mini fridge/freezer, and a row of counters with cupboards above them. This was the kitchen area, once again black marble, with black appliances, a mini microwave, coffee maker, a kettle and a toaster. The cupboards were stuffed with food, the fridge freezer crammed with microwave meals, beer, energy drinks, candy bars, snacks, food!
