I got up extra early the next day and quickly got dressed. No one was up yet so I made sure to keep extra quiet. Damon's flight would be landing at 7:00am and it was barely 6:23am. I still had time to spare so I sat down on the couch in the front lounge and looked through my Instagram. It's obvious a photographer has to have an Instagram to add all the amazing pictures to, it's just common sense. When Instagram failed to entertain me, I got on Twitter and scrolled down my dash... nothing new. I sighed out in boredom and decided I should just get to the airport early and wait for Damon at the Starbucks there.

Just as I was getting up from my seat, I heard a loud thud coming from the bunk area. I looked over to the doorway to see Zack lying face down on the floor. He didn't even seem to notice that he had fallen from his bunk which was way at the top.

"Zack?" I called out. He didn't move. Was he dead!?

"Don't bother," I heard a voice say. "He has sleep insomnia."

Jack poked his head out of his bunk and smiled at me.

"But he just fell like 10 feet!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah... oh well." he shrugged. "Where are you going?" he asked.

"Airport, gonna pick up a friend." I said.

"Can I come with?" he asked.

"If you can get ready in 5 minutes." I replied.

He sprung out of his bed and surprisingly, he did get ready in 5 minutes. Though his hair wasn't spiked up like usual, instead he wore a beanie over it.

We headed off the bus and looked around the venue, we were in a new city. I didn't even feel the bus moving while I slept, I was exhausted.

We had to get past FOB's and PTV's tour buses to get to the street so I lazily dragged my feet along the pavement in an attempt to get to the main road while Jack skipped happily. How was he so full of energy at this time of day!? We passed Fall Out Boy's bus successfully but when we passed Pierce The Veil's we could hear shuffling coming from inside the tour bus, then the front door opened and slammed shut again. I looked up at the person that had came out of the bus to see that it was actually two people, Jaime and Tony.

Jack went over to them, I tried walking past them but they immediately noticed me.

"Good morning to you too, Sky." Jaime chuckled. "Why are you two up so early?" he then asked.

"I could ask you the same thing." I replied but then felt bad about not answering his question. "We're going to pick my friend up at the airport." I explained.

"Oh yeah, the reporter for AP, right?" Tony said, his voice just above a whisper.

"Yup! But why are you guys up?" Jack chimed in.

"Something terrible has happened!" Jaime exclaimed, his tone full of panic and his face serious .

I got freaked out.

"What?! What happened!?" I urged.

They laughed at my worried expression.

"Nothing, we need food for the bus and it's our turn to go so here we are." Jaime explained.

"You scared me!" I protested. "But we seriously have to go now." I added.

"Yeah, alright, see you later." Jaime said as Tony waved goodbye to us.

"Later." Jack said.

"Bye," I said, waving back at both of them.

We got a taxi and told the driver to take us to the airport. Along the way, Jack would point at people walking by and say sexual things about them.
