Selfish Machines

Chapter Five

When I woke up it was 1:30pm. I jumped out of my bunk and went into the lounge. Everyone was there. Except Tony. "Where's Tone?" "We're already in Houston so Tony went to take a look around." I nodded and went to put my shoes on and go find him.

After a few minutes of walking around, I found him in a dressing room. He didn't notice I was there, so I went up behind him and hugged him. "Hey Tone. What's up?" "Nothing." He said. I looked him in the eyes and kissed him. "Tony, I can't help it. I think I'm in love with you." "Really?" He said happily. "Yeah." "Well finally!" He grabbed me and kissed me again. "So... Would you possibly consider being my girlfriend?" "I would love to be your girlfriend Tony." "Really? Great! Should we tell the others?" "Yeah."

"Sup fuckers!" I yelled as Tony and I walked into the bus hand in hand. "Hey motherbitch!" Mike yelled back. I laughed as Tony and I went to sit on the couches with them. "What time do you guys play?" Karla asked. "Uhmm. We play at 5 and we have to go to sound check at 3." Vic said "Dude. It's 3 now." Raven chuckled. "Shit! C'mon guys! Hurry up, we gotta go!" Jaime screamed as they got up and ran out the door to the venue. "Well, good thing I told them what time it was." "Yep." Karla and I said. "So what are we gonna do? The boys are gone and we're far away from home." Raven asked. "Well, I have a boyfriend girls." "What? Who?" They screamed. I looked at them and smirked. "Who do you think?" "Oh my God. Is it Tony?" "Duh!" "Oh shit!" They screamed. We talked about boys until it was time for the boys to play.

We walked into the venue. When we got to the stage the boys were about to go on. The other band was coming off. I think they were named All Time Low. They were really good too. "Hey babe!" Tony yelled as he came and kissed me. "Whoa! You guys are dating now?" "You didn't tell them?" "Nah." He said smirking. "I dropped a few hints but they are pretty much idiots so they didn't catch them." I laughed as the boys pouted. "1 minute for Pierce!" A member of the crew yelled. The boys put on the ear pieces and grabbed their instruments/drumsticks and ran over to the stage.

Watching the boys preform was amazing. They put everything into it. Anyone could easily tell that the boys were living their dream. I loved that they were.

"Baby, did you like watching us play?" "Yes I did hon." I said as I leaned up and kissed him. "Good." The boys went to their dressing room to shower and change as Karla, Raven and me walked around the venue. "Hey girls." Some guy said. "Hi." "I'm Jack Barakat." "I'm Christine. This is Raven and Karla." "What are you girls doing here alone? The concert ended a while ago." "We're waiting on the boys in PTV." "You guys aren't some crazy fans are you?" "Haha. No. She's Tony's girlfriend and we're the photographers." Karla spoke up and said. "Oh cool. "Sup Jack." I heard as I felt a arm wrap around my waist. "Hey Chris." "Hey babe." I said back as he kissed my head. "Hey Tone." Jack said. "You girls ready?" I heard Vic yell from behind me. "Yep." We all screamed back.

As we walked back into the bus, Tony seemed a bit off. I grabbed his hand and led him back outside.

"Tone. What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Don't say nothing. I know something is wrong. Now tell me." "Jack. The way he looked at you." "What? Tony there is no 'way' he looked at me. Are you jealous?" He looked down a little. "Oh my God. Tony you are jealous! Why?" "Because. He's more attractive than me. And he looked like he wanted you." "Tony. You are the hottest, most handsome man I've ever seen. You have no reason to be jealous. Okay?" "Okay babe." I smiled and leaned up to kiss him. After a nice make out session, we went back into the bus.

Everyone was sleep, so we decided we should probably sleep too. We went to our separate bunks and laid down. I was still up after a while and I knew Tony was up too. I was contemplating going to his bunk but he beat me to it. He crawled into my bunk and wrapped his strong arms around me. "Night buttercup." I smiled at the new nickname he had for me. "Night turtle."
