CHAPTER 6

"OMG, Indeed!"

When: Summer 2014

Where: Texas

Time: Just around Midnight

"This is the last stop of the Vans Warped Tour, thank you all for coming out and showing your support. Until the next tour guys, see you." This was said over the microphone as Mayday Parade the last band performing for this show ended their set. It was 10 pm and after the show we were all gathered around an improvised function room backstage (meaning a really big tent) and waited for the closing remarks.

Yes, the Vans warped tour finally came to a close. As we waited, as usual I thought of things (my mind goes hi-speed on me most of the time that's why I space out a lot) I know that we all have learned a lot from this experience. We became a better band, a bigger group or family and more importantly we became stronger individuals.

Yeah, it is a bit sad that it's finally ending (don't make me cry now), we're really going to miss everybody!

Alex (ATL) and his rather wide vocabulary, his word of the days are very enriching but still most of the guys poked fun and we all laughed.

Mike (TAI) and his alcoholic parlor games (good times).

Jared (the Maine) and his super funny jokes.

Kennedy (the Maine) and Sisky's (TAI) charm (don't blame us if we keep staring).

Playing jokes on Conner (BYE).

Hunter's (WTK) failed attempts at amazing us with magic and Travis's (also WTK) hair (surely going to miss that and how much Elle wants to comb it!).

And of course I'm really going to miss John's (the Maine) laugh, he's very contagious laughter. ;)

And then the Van's team comes in and we were now trying to listen to what they have to say.

"The Vans Warped Tour 2014 has been a success! Thank you for all the bands and crews hard work because without it, this event would surely have not survived. So ladies and gentlemen, thank you! We hope to see you again next year. Let's rock and roll again soon!" and the crowd went wild.

"We return to California tomorrow morning so enjoy the rest of the night guys. Good night!" the boss added. And the crowd started to make noise again.

And with that it was the end of the Vans Warped Tour 2014. People were hugging, thanking, shaking hands and doing all kinds of gestures with each other, a happy sight indeed. We even took a group photo one formal the other really wacky.

And then out of the blue somebody yelled (I think it was Mike (TAI), I had a strong feeling) "Where's the booze?" and everybody second in with either a "YEAH! Booze!" or a "Yeah! Let's Party!" or a "Yeah, let's get wasted." Always with a yeah.

And so we partied, we took the tables and chairs away from the center of the room and turned it into a dance floor.

Party music was played, booze and food were laid out and the people started shouting, cheering, dancing and all those stuff.

So this was how rockstars partied....they can turn any place into an awesome party, that's why most of them are wasted all the time! (insert evil laugh here)

Of course ACTA wouldn't miss this party for the world and so we started dancing. We didn't care if our heads were going to hurt the next day, the important thing was that we were happy.

Hey, it's our last night with our friends and on this tour the least we could do is party hard and make this a memorable ending right.

Pretty funny scene if you ask me. To my left some guys were doing the "robot" (yeah that made me laugh, they were cute). To my right a couple of guys were trying to imitate dance moves from Saturday night fever (nice one). At the center of the room guys who can kill it on the dance floor were having a show down and above us....yes, above us a few guys were crowd surfing.

And what do you know, Pearl (standing near the snack table, eating), Darci (hitting the dance floor, dancing her heart out), Garder (next to Mike in the booze table, predictable) and Elle (chatting away with the guys of ATL, also predictable) had their little things in different parts of the room.

And to my shock a guy (pretty sure that was Alex, the Cab) from behind grabbed me and started hoisting me up.

"Heads up everybody, Aria coming through!" shouted Alex while hoisting me. I did not think he was that strong to lift me up by the way.

"WOHOOO!" shouted everyone and they started to lift their arms waiting for me to pass through.

"OMG! Put me down Alex. I don't want to crowd surf since most of you are drunk....you might drop me...if that happens I'm kicking your sorry a**es!" I shouted.

But they all just kept shouting and waiting and then I started to move.

So much for threats.

As I was now moving above the crowd Alex added,

"Every rockstar needs to at least experience one crowd surf and we are giving you yours. You're finally one of us, enjoy! hahahahahaha"

Well I couldn't do anything about it now cause I was moving I don't know if I was going to the left or right or wherever they just "surfed" me around (sounds bad, but it's not what you think ;).

And you know what I enjoyed it (other than the fact that hot guys were yes, carrying me) the feeling was great. I was supported by people I trust and I just didn't have any worries or what so ever, I was happy. So I just closed my eyes and just felt everything, was immersed in all kinds of crazy (hahahaha).

It's like I was on a real cloud nine. Yes, I did feel like a rockstar. It was an amazing experience. You guys should try it sometime at concerts you will be going too in the future.

That must have went on for about fifteen minutes (I literally felt that they took me around the whole room) and when they finally let me down I was caught by (insert super "kilig" feeling here!) OMG, John Ohhh. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(As this was happening Into your arms was playing in my head so to speak.)

I faced him with this really big grin on my face that probably looked stupid and he just laughed and then I joined him.

After that we just stood there motionless, looking into each other's eyes under the dim lighting of the room. (Is this how rockstar romances always start? How I wish! Hahahaha ;)

Then we heard a loud crash on the other side of the room and when we looked it was Eric Halvorsen (A rocket to the moon) drunk and slumped on one of the tables. He then collected himself and said "I'm OK!" loud enough for deaf people to hear and everybody was like YEAH! So the party continued till the wee hours of the morning.
