Everything Personal

The Final Showdown

I was the first up. Alex wasn’t awake yet so I quietly slipped out of our bunk. I quietly tiptoed my way to We Are The In Crowd’s bus. Luckily they were all awake. I knocked on the door of the bus and Mike let me in.

“Yo yo everyone!” I exclaimed.

“Yo Alice,” Tay replied.

“Do you happen to have an air horn in your bus?” I asked.

“Yeah... why?” Mike asked.

“To wake up the guys,” I smiled.

“Oh my god can I come?” Tay asked handing me the air horn. I smiled and nodded. 

Tay and I tiptoed back into All Time Low’s bus and we went into the “kitchen” and.... BBBEEEEEPPPP!!! 

“WAKE UP SONS A BITCHES!” Tay screamed. I pressed the horn again several times before they walked astounded into the “kitchen” to see Tay and I on the floor laughing.

“What the fuck are your problems?” Jack asked rubbing his eyes.

“Your! Your, your faces!!” Tay managed to spit out in between giggling. Alex held out his hands to me.

“Come on, up you get,” he said pulling me up and into his arms.

“Oh hello muscles!” I said hugging him. He let go of me.

“So whats for breakfast?” Rian asked me sitting on the floor.

“Tramp! Get it yourself!” I said kicking his back lightly. 

Rian immediately got up and got himself some food along with Jack and Zack. I walked into the bathroom to put on my make-up. Alex walked in, stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me. Then he rested his head on my shoulder and watched me put on my make-up.

“Why do you wear all that? You don’t need it you’re perfect just the way you are!” he said tiredly.

“I only use eye make-up and I like it. Anyway I’m done now.” He let go of me and we walked into the “kitchen”. 

After a while we all went into the corn exchange and began playing songs randomly. We all took turns. I chose King For A Day and Brain Stew by Green Day, Disenchanted and Cancer by My Chemical Romance and Coffin and Ritual by Black Veil Brides. I can’t remember what everybody else chose, but we defiantly played All The Small Things by Blink-182 loads! We played until seven p.m and didn’t even realize. 

“Guys! Get backstage we’ll call you when we’re ready!”

They called us back in about ten or so minutes later. The first fan that came to Zack was Autumn Chapman and her friend Daisy English. 

“So what’s your name?” Zack asked her.

“Autumn, Autumn Chapman and this is my friend Daisy English,” she answered.

“Excuse me, Alice! Come over here!” Zack called to me. I came over and Zack introduced me to Autumn and Daisy.

“Oh my God hi,” I said. They got all the boys’ signatures and then I asked them. 

“Would you guys like me to bring you onstage for the last song and then hang out with us backstage and in the tour bus for a while?” 

“Oh my god we’d love to!” They chorused. Autumn phoned her grandfather and let him know that they’d be home later. They lived in Cambridge so they wouldn’t walk far to get home.

“We’ll give you a ride if you like, we gotta make our way somewhere else so we could drop you guys off at Autumn’s house if you want.”

“Sure thanks!” Autumn replied. 

They got into their places at the front of the mosh pit and we all went backstage again. We wished We Are The In Crowd and Mayday Parade good luck and then it was time for the longest All Time Low show so far. They played Time-Bomb and then I came onstage for the whole of the rest of the show. I joined in on most songs when it was the parts that I helped write. Then Alex stared playing Lullabies. 

“Wait, hold on before I start, I want Alice to sing this and join in by the way!” He started playing again and I sang with the crowd. 

We had a brilliant time and before I knew it the show was finished and All Time Low had played almost every single one of their songs. We finished and Autumn and Daisy joined us backstage. Then after a while of laughing, playing songs and getting Autumn and Daisy’s twitter name’s we moved to the tour bus to drop Autumn and Daisy at Autumn’s house. 

“Thanks! We had a great time!” Autumn and Daisy yelled to us when they got to the door of Autumn’s house. 

“No problem!” We all yelled back. Then, we were off again. We made our way to London where I would go to meet Black Veil Brides, Ville Valo’s sister, BVB’s girlfriend’s and the Jackass crew in Boston. We stopped in a lay by for the night and in the morning we’d finish traveling to London/Luton airport once again where I would say goodbye to the boys for a month and a half while they continued their UK tour. 

I didn’t want to leave but I wanted to catch up with Black Veil Brides and meet Ashley’s fiancé. 

“Ughh do I have to go?” I moaned at Alex.

“I hate to say it but yes,” he frowned at me. He kissed my forehead then I buried my head into his chest to hide my tears. I hated leaving Alex! “I’ll call you every night though baby I promise, and skype to you!” He kissed my forehead again. “How about I sing to you eh?” I nodded and he began to sing I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith and he lulled me to sleep once again by the sound of his beautiful voice. I love Alex so much!
