Thrasher

Chapter 4

"Yo Carson, get your ass up!" I hear before the curtain is pulled back and I feel a hard slap on my ass.

"Ow! What the fuck Mikey!" I groan before rolling over and trying to kick him. He jumps back but the space is so small he doesn't have enough room and I end up clipping his thigh.

"What was that for?"
"You know what that was for!" Rolling my eye's I climb off my bunk. "So what'd you want?" I ask grabbing my bag out of the little closet getting some clothes and my toothbrush out I turn around to face him.

"I'm bored, and we're stuck in this bus for the next four hours!" He throws his hands up as if that is just incredulous.

"Sorry Mikey I can't help you there. Where's everybody else?"

"In the back room, I think they're playing cards, Kyle and Colton are in the kitchen making breakfast, and I think Cam is still passed out."

"Not anymore, I don't think anyone can sleep with all the noise you two are making." Cam moves his curtain aside and climbs out of his bunk stretching before heading to the bathroom.

"Carson I'm bored, entertain me!"
"What do you want me to do?"
"I don't know, wanna dump all of Kyle's stuff out onto his bed?" He has an eager smile on his face and I can't help but laugh.
"Do you wanna die?"
"Not the answer I was hoping for."

Cam comes out of the bathroom and dressed in just his boxers he proceeds to the front of the bus. "I'm going to change, after that I'll help you find something to do."

In the bathroom I brush my teeth before throwing my hair up in a messy bun on top of my head and change into an old Bob Dylan tshirt and a pair of ripped shorts. I put on a little bit of makeup outlining my gray eyes in black and a little bit of mascara. Once I'm done I pick up the clothes I slept in off the floor and head back to my bunk throwing them on top of it.

Mikey, who was not so patiently waiting for me outside the bathroom door, grabs my hand and pulls me to the tiny kitchen. First I notice Cam still in his underwear sitting in the booth shoveling what looks like toast into his mouth. A completely dressed Kyle sits next to him drinking the milk out of his cereal bowl. Colton is leaning against the counter in sweat pants drinking a cup of coffee and reading something on his phone.

"Seriously! I thought y'all were making breakfast!"
"No Mikey we said we were getting breakfast." Kyle say's while rolling his eyes. "But that's not what I heard!" Mikey scoffs.
"Mikey you have what is called selective hearing, you hear what you want to hear." Cam pipes in climbing out of the booth.

I push Mikey aside and make us some toast before settling down next to him placing his slices on the table in front of him.
This causes he to grab my face and plant a big slobbery kiss on my forehead. "Thank you so much my sweet peasant!" I smack him upside the head with my left hand while I grab his food with my right. "What'd you call me?" "I meant queen! I swear I meant queen! I'm the peasant!" I laugh giving him his food back. "And don't you forget it!" "Yes ma'am!"

After breakfast we head into the back room to see what everyone else is up to. Logan is sitting at a table with Caine, Connor, and Beckett playing Texas Hold'em. While Kade, Declan, and Braxton are sitting on the couch watching the Goonies.

"I love this movie! Mind if I sit?" I ask Braxton who shrugs and scoots over to make room. Mikey joins in the card game and somehow convinces the other guys they should play for dares.

The movie just gets to the part where Chunk is crying and spilling all his secrets about fake throwing up in a movie theater when Kyle, Colton, and Cam come in. Kyle picks me up settling me onto his lap while Cam finds a seat on the floor and Colton scoots in next to Kade.

By the end of the movie the game of cards has quickly turned into a game of truth or dare instead. "Yo Cam, truth or dare?" Mikey yells from the table that's no more than five feet away.

"Truth." Mikey takes his time coming up with a good question with his had up as if he was stroking his nonexistent beard.
"Okay, I got one. Have you ever had a sex dream about anyone in our band?" Laughing Cam answer's "No but if I did I sure as shit wouldn't admit it." And that's how the rest of us got roped into their game.

"Carson, truth or dare?" I look up at Declan pondering over my choices. If I pick truth they can ask me anything and I can't lie about it, but if I pick dare they will no doubt pick something outrageous for me to do. So being stuck between a rock and a hard place I reluctantly pick truth.

"Have you ever fantasizes about someone in this room?" Thankfully that was an easy one. "Nope. My turn! Connor truth or dare?" And so the game went. Caine was dared to take off his pants and wear them as a hat instead. Mikey admitted that one time he skipped band practice because he was trying to get a girl to give him head. Logan had to eat an entire bottle of ketchup while dancing to Sexy and I know it. And Beckett told us of the time he had a bad burrito from a street vendor and didn't get to the bathroom in time resulting in him having to pay for the taxi he was in to be cleaned.

"Braxton truth or dare?" So far he was the only one to not pick truth and once again when Mikey asked him he picked dare. "I dare you to..." Mikey strokes his nonexistent beard again while looking around the room. When his eyes meet mine they suddenly light up. "I dare you to hide Samuel!" "Whose Samuel?" Braxton ask's, everyone except my band mates look confused. Logan starts laughing telling Mikey he's a genius while Cam and Kyle looked a little shocked, a little worried, and a lot amused.

"Samuel is Carson's hippo, she loves that thing. So you have to hide it and you can't give him back no matter how much Carson begs! She has to find him on her own, and at the end of the tour if she hasn't found him you can give him back."

Glaring at Mikey I state "I didn't bring Samuel." "Of course you did, you don't go anywhere without him. Now go get him for Braxton or one of us will go find him." Seeing as I don't make a move to go find Samuel Logan jumps up.

"I'll go find him. Besides it's not like I haven't seen Carsons underwear before." Dammit! Of course he'd know to look in my underwear bag for Samuel! I jump up to run after Logan but Kyle catches me around the waist. "Logan Morgan Brooks you get your ass back in here and leave Samuel and my underwear alone!" I yell after him no doubt he heard me but also knowing he won't listen.

A few minutes later Logan re-enters the room with a lime green hippo in hand. He tosses Samuel to Braxton who easily catches him. "Braxton please, please, pllleeeaaasssee give me Samuel!" I beg but he just laugh's jumping up to go hide my dear hippo. It takes both Kyle and Cam to hold me down but shortly after he left Braxton comes back in, this time his hands are empty.

The guys let go of me and I look at Mikey with cold eyes. "You are so dead!" And then I pounce.
