Baltimore, Maryland
May 17th 2012
"Baaaaltimore you're fucking beautiful!!"
The hometown crowd of 1,500 people screamed, cheered and yelled for the local heroes. It had been a while since we've been back in Maryland; we just got off an Asian tour across Japan, China and the Philippines. After some downtime home, we're back on Warped Tour starting June.
"Alright guys, we only have a couple more songs left in our set tonight." The crowd awwed as Jack played a sad guitar riff to go with.
"Don't worry though! We play one more home show before we leave for Warped in June. Other than that, you'll catch us-"
"Uh- excuse me Alexander McCutie-Butt, but my butt is not leaving my comfy chair because the Orioles are gonna fucking own this summer!"
At the mention of the beloved baseball team the venue roared with cheers for the Orioles. The All Time Low banner behind us dropped down to reveal a picture of the four of us and Vinny living it up at Camden Gardens. A blinking hashtag appeared over our heads on the photo that read, "#BigBallLoverz4Lyfe" which made all of us crack up laughing.
"Anyway, before we play a song probably about dicks and probably about getting them sucked, there is a very special guest here tonight. And no it's not the imaginary girlfriend you all think I have."
"Yeah you losers, he has a very real boyfriend." Jack put his arm around my neck and kissed my extremely sweaty temple.
Laughing I pushed Jack away as the crowd laughed and cried for Jalex. "No guys, it's a little different than that." Looking up at Flyzik and the dudes doing effects I motioned to him. "Flyzik, the lights if you would."
"In all seriousness guys, when I was in high school- when we were all in high school actually, my dad got remarried. Which to me at the time, kinda sucked but kinda rocked. I thought I was gonna get this super hot, Stacy's mom type of step mom right??"
Rian chimed in from the drums. "I don't know dude, Laura is kind of what the cool kids would call, a snack?"
"Thanks for interrupting, Rian. I'll remember that. Now where was I? Ah yes, Stacy's mom. For real, I'm not gonna lie I was mad when I found out she had kids. I lived for being the only child! But anyway, there are two special people I wanted you all to meet but one of them is stuck in Los Angeles on business. Gabby, you'll be missed tonight." The crowd started a slow clap for my younger sister.
"BUT EMMA ISN'T IN LA, SO HERE'S MY SISTER EMMA!" Rian started a drumroll as Emma came on from side stage.
I hadn't seen Em in ages, she came to the NYC show last tour with Gabby and her boyfriend, but it's been way too long. She put her shoulder length red hair into a super messy ponytail; literally it looks like Jack put it up. Anyway- she was wearing our merch for once which was pretty cool. Emma looked so happy.
"I missed you, you big fat nerd." She laughed as we hugged and I kissed her forehead. "My sister everyone!"
On stage, we all bantered on for a few minutes. Emma talked about her new job in the city and how she's also bumped up to babysitter for Baz and Peyton.
"Seriously though, we haven't always gotten along so... Drake and Joshy." Emma said before Jack could interrupt. "Damn right you haven't, do you know how many awkward car rides I had to sit through?! Too many."
"I mean, I can't believe I'm saying this but Jack is right. How the actual fuck did we end up here?"

Hi everyone! Grace here, I'm sorry there hasn't been a set update schedule yet. I have my phone taken away for about another week or so, but I'm trying to update here and there. I'm having major writers block so I felt like this would be something somewhat fun to read to go up. Anyway, expect a real first part in a few days. It's a little over halfway written but it's getting there guys :)
I love you all so much !!!!!!
