Here I Am Again || a Patty Walters Fic

•2

I showed up to work the next morning with the same cheesy smile on my face. Who am I kidding, I had the same smile all week. Every day Regan laughed at how much my smile grew as it got closer to the day I would fly to LA.

While I was extremely excited, this wait was more painful than last week's event of my boyfriend leaving me. I just wanted to see them already, them and their music always make everything in my life alright.

It was finally the day. I jumped out of bed, grabbed my already packed suitcase, got ready and drove to the airport.

After getting through security, waiting, boarding, and taking off, I finally landed in LA. I saw a man in a suit holding up a sign that said "Brandy-Embassy Suites." I figured that was the hotel they were putting me in for the night.

I left with the man and he drove me to my hotel in a very nice cab. It was so close, and I didn't think my heart could have been beating faster.

After getting to the hotel and falling asleep, I woke up the next morning to the phone in my room ringing.

I picked it up to hear a woman from the front desk say, "Hello ma'am, are you Brandy?"

"That would be me," I answered as my breathing stopped and I threw the covers of myself.

"Good morning, excuse me, are you expecting anyone?"

"Yeah, why?" I nearly fell over.

"There's four men at my desk that say they're here to pick you up, is that correct?" She asked suspiciously.

"Y-yes!" I stuttered while I panicked, throwing everything in my suitcase. "Tell then I'll be down in a few minutes."

I hung up the phone and frantically got dressed and brushed my hair and teeth, all while trying to keep my composure.

I finished up and ran to the elevator, taking a deep breath while pushing the lobby button.

I walked out of the elevator as casually as I could and almost passed out when I saw them at the front desk waiting for me.

They all looked up at me and smiled.

"You must be Brandy," Patty said happily.

"Yeah, it's so nice to meet you guys!" I exclaimed.

"It's nice to meet you, Brandy!" Ben said.

"We're gonna start out in the tour bus, the venue is about a half hour away from here, you ready?" Alistair asked.

"Yup! I cant wait to go in the tour bus, I can't say I've done that before." I laughed.

"Well, I can't say it's glamorous," Foley laughed. "At least you're excited."

We got in the tour bus while Patty did a cute but awkward hand gesture pointing to the inside of the tour bus. "We're about to leave, you can either take a bunk or sit on the couch, we're just gonna hang out until we get to the venue," He smiled.

"We have an extra bunk now, our touring guitar player just left us for the rest of the tour. We're kinda fucked, but at least it's just us now," Ben said, frowning. "We'll figure it out eventually."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," I replied. "I'll just hang out on the couch, where should I put my stuff?"

"You can put it here," Patty motioned towards the empty bunk.

I set my stuff in the bunk and sat down on the couch.

"Wait!" Patty exclaimed. "Come here!"

I walked over to where he was standing by his bunk.
