Out of my limit

I looked out at the mess before me. My brother and his band had been up all night, this had resulted in at least fifty beer bottles, seven pizza boxes and tweleve passed out band memembers and crew. Looking at all of them sprawled out randomly across the living room you wouldn't think that they had their first concert of the tour tonight.

As I started to gather all the bottles together my brother, Alex, walked through. His pink candyfloss hair in a mess, his clean shaved face was growing into stubble. He was walking around in his boxers, something that I have grown use to as I basically live with four men. It was great though, they didn't judge you if you wanted to just laze about or eat pizza at 8 in the morning. It was a pretty great life like.

"Hey kiddo, you don't have to do that" he said while rubbing his temples, clearly hungover.

"Yeah but if I don't, no-one will" I joked. He took a seat on the kitchen bunker and in came Zack, another member of the band. He began helping me clean up.

"So what time are we leaving to go to the venue then?" I asked, hoping to get some signs of life from my brother. He didnt respond. "Alex!" I said sharply, hoping to get his attention.

"Aw, sorry. Er we will leave here at like three? That gives us about two hours to get ready. The opening act will meet us there and it gives you time to set up the sound equimpent"

Zack spoke quietly but with a deep voice "Can we stop at In-n-Out first? This hangover ain't going away by itself." I nodded eagerly, I wasn't hungover but you never turn down a chance for fast food.

Looking into the living room again the rest of the boys began to stir. I left downstairs to go get ready. I was too tired to care and pulled out the first things i could find which happened to be denim shorts, a black vest top and red checked shirt. The longer I stared in the mirror the more and more flaws I could find with my skin. I quickly covered them with a layer of foundation, some mascara and a thick black flick of eyeliner. The long wavy hair that fell down my back was being more a nuisance than anything today so i threw it into a messy bun not even caring. I was going to be side stage anyway and no-one ever seen me.

 I looked across my desk to see a picture of my mum on her wedding day. That picture was the happiest I had ever seen her. All through my childhood she had been miserable and unhappy due to my abusive, alchoholic father. After she killed herself four years ago my father ran away and we haven't heard from him since and i'm glad. I wish he had ran away earlier than that and somehow my mum might still be alive.

By the time we actuallly left it was half three. everyone had manage to rise and the house had returned to some normality. After piling into three cars we made our way to the local in-n-out, already late we had to get drive thru. I was driving our old baby blue mustang with Danny, Jack and Matt in the back. The venue was a 20 minute drive away if the traffic was quiet, it usually is in our hometown Baltimore. I went over a few speed bumps and heard some moans from the back.

"Fuck sake Geogria, do you have to go so fast?" Jack moaned

"Jack, we are sitting at traffic lights right now?" I looked at him laughing, he had sunglasses on to cover the dark circles over his eyes and was almost falling asleep.

"But it feels like we are going like a million miles an hour" he moaned

"Well that is what you get for getting pissed at two in the morning" 

"It is happening again tonight, first night of tour and all. Party back at yours Alex said. Everyone is invited"

"Oh the joys" I said sarcastically. Don't get me wrong I love my brother and his parties but it is always me left to clean the mess up.

We pulled up to the venue and you could see a line of fans queing up already, some of them had probably been there since early hours just in hope to meet the band. As the boys got out the cars the squeeling started and they began shouting the boys over. The loud noises did not work well with a hangover and they eneded up going into the venue straight away. The rest of the crew walked into the different changing rooms, I walked into the one that was the boys. I would have to start setting up the sound board in about an hour. That was what i wanted to do in the future, lights and sound. It just helped that my brother was in a band. I threw myself on the couch and began tucking into my burger. The boys came in and began collapsing around the room, Alex came over and lay down on me. 

"Are you fucking kidding me" I laughed while choking on burger.

"Deal with it, im very hungover and could not give a shit" I began hitting him like a child trying to get him off me. 

"You are asking to get killed" 

" Well get off me then"  He looked up at me and I knew he was planning something. Before I knew it I was getting fireman lifted over his shoulder and he began walking around the dressing room,  so naturally I began shouting. He opened the door which  lead to back stage. 

"Alex, where the fuck are you taking me?" 

"Around"

"You are a dick like" 

"Nope this is me being a dick" He began spinning me around and running about the stage with me. I couldnt help but give in and laugh at him. I could feel the burger coming back on me, just as I thought I was about to be sick he stopped.

"Alright Alex man?" I heard a cheeky Australian voice say. This must be the opening act, I have never met them before but the band rave about them all the time and talk about how amazing they are. I knew that three of them were roughly my age and one was a tad older. There was Calum, Michael, Ashton and, and, and... aw shit, I couldn't remember the other ones name. As I racked through my mind trying to remember his name another voice piped up.

"Dude who the fuck is that on your shoulder?" 

"Aw yeah" Alex laughed and dumped me flat on my ass on the ground "Guys, this is my little sister, Georgia".

I looked up to see 4 young faces looking back at me. "Georgia, this is Michael" pointing to a young cheerful looking boy with crazy coloured hair. "Ashton"  He was tonned with a cheeky smile and a bandana wrapped around his head. "Calum" a asian looking tattooed boy who was very cute "and finally Luke" That was his name, Luke! And oh my god, words coudln't even do him justice.
