What I Need

Beachey

It was mid-morning when we arrived at Virginia Beach. I could feel the sweat rolling down my forehead and I felt like a hot dog on a grill.

"Dang, it's hot!" I said out loud.

"Let's go to the beach!" Joey says followed by everyone saying Yeah.

"Oh crab apples,"Baliey says to me, "We don't have anything to wear to the beach."

"Dagnabit," I say, "You're right, I'm gonna have to roll up my hoodie sleeves and you're going to bake in those jeans, but we can still go."

It took about an hour for everyone except Bailey and me to change and about half an hour to find parking. The skies looked gray but nevertheless, we went onwards to the beach.

"I'm so drowning you in the ocean for what you did to me, Seb," Cole said to him.

"We'll see who drowns who, first."

"Uh, Joey," Bailey stuttered, causing me to grin wildly, "You-you look good in your trunks."

"Thanks, ya' look good in those jeans,"

Bailey then blushed and started to giggle, "Thank you!" He shouted, causing Jamie to giggle a little.

"Yeah I wanna piece of that," Seb said," seductively to Joey, smacking his rear end, leading him to say, "Law and Order SVU!"

I snickered and saw the beach far ahead with not too many people on it. Perfect.

"The beach is right across the street, and barley has anyone on it."

As we got through the entrance we saw a lady in a black bathing suit approaching us, looking at Joey, up and down. "Hey um, sorry to all of y'all but the beach is closed, there's a storm a brewin'. "

"Aw man," Seb said.

"Yeah, sorry to y'all, but come back anotha' time though."

We all walked away in disappointment back to our van as Max said, "Hey, hopefully this storm will go away by 5:00 pm, we have a beach show a'coming."

"Hey Joey, " Seb started. "That southern chick was totally checking you out. "

"You think, I mean I-"

"nO sHe wAsN't! " Bailey squeaked out.

We all started at Bailey for a second, and I giggled and changed the subject.

"Yeah, being rained out would suck, Bailey, you know all the good places in VA Beach, show us a good time."

And Bailey did, taking us around the boardwalk of VA Beach until it rained two hours later leading to us having to go to a nice but busy buffet restaurant for lunch until it was time for them to go. As we all got to the beach, show I had to help Buddha and Nick carry most of the equipment to the stage, and as we were carrying the heaviest box, I accidentally dropped it on his toe. "Gaaaaah, oh frick frack!" He screamed out loud.

"Omg Buddha, I'm so sorry,"

"Just get this freaking, stereo off my fricking foot!" And I did, thankful that he's not bleeding but guilty for doing that, which probably made him hate me more. Stove approached me with a bewildered face asking, "Uh, what was that sound? Did a cat get run over?"

"No," I answer, "I dropped a stereo on Buddha's foot."

I went backstage and to the dressing room to see Jamie and Nick checking instruments, Joey twirling his sticks, Bailey staring at Joey nervously, Seb voguing, Cole doing vocal warm-ups, Max drinking and Jamie tinkering with Max's guitar.

"Uh, hey I got all the stereo in place I think it's time for a sound check."

"Thanks, Sneak," Cole said, this time, in a playful manner. They all went out except for Bailey who gripped my shoulders was eager to talk to me.

"You'll never believe what I just did. I made Joey giggle by talking about Ringo Starr, you were right and I giggle, it was the cutest, ugh he's so sexy and adorable, a new word sexorable."

"That sounds like having horrible sex," I said.

"Well I highly doubt that s.e.x with him would be terrible. I've taken a peek at what he's got' down there and let's just say-

"TESTICLE!" It was Seb, screaming into the mic from the stage, interrupting us we looked at each other and giggled, leading me to say

"Well I'm sure he appreciates you and did, I bet he likes you more, I wish Cole would like me more."

We talked about them and their cuteness until 5 pm. The show finally started and the stage was packed with thousands of people. I took a peek to see them playing and being so close to the music was like feeling it inside of me, it was amazing how the rhythms and vibrations could make me feel like it's flowing through my body like blood. Thankfully, backstage security is cool with me just looking at them since they think I'm a roadie and watching them perform up so close it the best gift I could ever ask for. Bailey, Nick, Jamie, and I danced and sung along to their songs, while Buddha just awkwardly swayed and Seb gave me a look and a wink, making me blush and my heart pump even more.

He motioned me towards him by tilting his head at me three times and I shook Bailey who screamed and pushed me towards Seb. The crowd went crazy when they saw me and I loved it I danced to the music and I danced closer to Seb close to him, like really close, let's just say if he wasn't playing guitar we'd be grinding close and the crowd seemed to love it. He tried to yell something but I couldn't hear it until he yelled, "GET BEHIND ME!" And I twirled and as I was behind him he started to rub his behind on my body, I can feel my face flush and I just wonder if anyone sees this but Joey's too busy drumming, Max is doing a flip and Cole is just singing, Stove taking pics, and I think Bailey is just in the background dancing with Jamie and Nick. I whisper under my breath,

"Faster baby. " Hoping he hears but the final song ends which Cole says,

"Thanks for coming out tonight I hope you all had a good time and hopefully be back."

Gah, that was electric! The boys will be doing meet n'greets I run backstage to find Bailey who was standing behind the curtains. "Did you see that Bail?! That was tight!"

"Oh my God that was amazing! I wish I had the courage to go on stage like that!"

"Hell yeah. I can't believe Seb did that."

"That bass solo was rad!"

"Not that, I mean the way we were dancing, didn't you see that?"

"Uh.... what?"

"OMG Bay, we were basically grinding out there, how'd you not see that? "

"I didn't, I don't, wow, you got over Cole quick, onto Seb now?"

I thought about Seb and how funny, and cool, and fun he is for a little and thought he'd be a cool and sweet boyfriend.

"May... be, heh heh. "
