warped love story

Backstory

"Peaceskies!" I look up as Damon fizzy says his famous last line. I look up at the clock *5:34* "I can't believe I just did that." I said having just watched YouTube for 8 hours straight. "Hey! Shut up! Some of us are trying to sleep!" someone in the bunk above me says. "Is this Alex, Danny, Oliver or Brandon that I have the pleasure of speaking to this fine morning?" I say, annoyed because, damn it its 5 in the morning and I'm tired, granted I did do this to myself; a woman still needs her beauty sleep right? "Danny." he sighs, "Shay, why the hell are you up this late? We have the first day of warped, remember?" "Ah, unfortunately..." I said slightly depressed.

You see, me and my friends Alex, Danny, Oliver, and Brandon are in the band "A place to call home." the name came from how growing up we were really the only family we had, Danny's parents died when he was very young in a car crash so he lived with his uncle, who was almost never home. Alex's brother sexually abused him and his parents were too busy with work to notice. Oliver was an orphan; he never had any family to call his own. Brandon's parents had a meth lab in their basement and were taken to jail in a big drug bust when he was 8. So that leaves me, Shay. I had a perfect life, a mother a father and a sister, we were really close but then, my dad started to come home drunk and irritable, at first it was just a few times a month, then weekly, and then daily. He started beating my mom, sister and I. one day, he came home especially drunk and irritated, my mother sent me and my sister up to our rooms while she tried to calm him down, but he wasn't having that. He picked up a pair of scissors laying on the table next to him, and stabbed her multiple times in the chest. After, he started walking upstairs to me and my sister. I was 14 and she was 17. She told me to go, to get out as fast as I could. She'd hold him off as long as she could, but I had to run. I told her I wouldn't leave her with that monster, I wouldn't let her die, but she insisted. With tears streaming down both of our faces I opened the window and climbed out, dropping to the ground. I stayed for a minute, trying to hear what was going on, I heard my sister's blood-curdling scream, and I ran.

I ran for miles before I ran into a boy, he was running from something to. It was Alex. We decided to go together and so, we ran more. We passed a house and another boy came out, it was Danny. He said he wanted to come with us. Life in his house was hell, there was barely enough to eat, so we took him with us. We start walking again and after a while we find Oliver and Brandon, walking down a street. Oliver said he was running from the orphanage. Everyone had bullied him there and the people who ran the place didn't care. Brandon said the police had busted his parents and he had nowhere to go. Only Brandon was old enough to work, so we all lived off the income that he had until we could all work. which was hard, to say the least. we lives in various hotels untill more of us could work. after a few ears i got a job working at hot topic which just so happened to be my favorite store.the pay was ok, but the people i got to meet working there was what made it worth it. i got to meet a few band members there to for signings and stuff. oliver had a job at dairy queen and he always cam ehome smelling like fryer oil which was gross. But after a while, when we had saved enough money, we bought a small apartment together and lived there for a while.We had all saved up to get instruments so we could form a band, which was one thing we all had in common, wanting to be in a band. A while after we started the band, we weree playing a small gig somewhere. Among the croud was ryan (who is now our producer) apparently he liked us and decided to sign us to his record label. We had a few tours and created a pretty strong fanbase, and well, now were here, in a tour bus that smells like sweat, and dirty socks, on our way to warped tour.
