"Guys guess who freaking tweeted at me" I said outloud with an excited grin. I was on the Neck Deep tour bus laying on a bench with my head on Ben's lap.
"Barack Obama" Fil said looking up at me.
"Ah no" I replied giving him a puzzled look.
"Miley Cyrus" West spoke up.
"No"
"Mark Hoppus" Llyod chimed in.
"No you guys are horrible at guessing it was Andy Leo" I said giving them smug looks.
"Barack would have been more exciting to be honest" Fil said matter of factly to me. I rolled my eyes and turned my head to look up at Ben. He leant down and gave me a quick kiss, which led to multiple 'ew's by people on the bus.
"Grow up you guys" I muttered rolling my eyes.
"Guys, stage now. Your times have been moved" Kevin Neck Deeps tour manager said poking his head through the door. All the boys hopped up and started to trail off the bus including me and Ben.
"Can I give you a piggy-back ride" Ben randomly asked me as we were walking. I nodded and jumped up on his back.
"If it's a piggy-back race that you want" Fil said dramatically "them it's a piggy-back race you'll get". He then rushed up and jumped up on Wests back. Lloyd moved out in front of us acting as the race starter with his hand in the air.
"Are we seriously doing this guys?" I shook my head at them.
"Why are you scared that we'll win?" Fil said smugly, I stuck my tongue out at him and nodded to let Lloyd know we were ready.
"Right, 1-2-3 GO!" Lloyd shouted swinging his arm down in front of us. I felt Ben start to run quickly beneath me and cheered him on clinging to his neck tightly. We were gaining lots of weird looks from people walking around Warped but that didn't stop the boys from sprinting as fast as they could with people on their backs. The stage soon came into view and I could feel Ben slowing down, breathing heavily. Suddenly two members walked out in front of the race holding a piece of barrier. With no time to stop or swerve, Ben, West, Fil and I crashed into the barrier leaving us in a tangle of limbs, all of us groaning.
"That was such a bad idea" I mumbled cradling my grazed knee.
"Yeah, but I think we won" Fil said smiling despite holding his hand up to his bleeding arm. We all flipped Fil off and got up. Leaning on each other for support we all struggled to the stage despite the multiple wounds we all had.
"Hey idea, you should come and sing A Part Of Me with us" Ben said turning to face me as we stood on the side of the stage. I bit my lip and pondered over the idea. All around me Neck Deep was getting their instruments ready.
"I don't know Ben, what if your fans don't like me" I looked down at the floor as a funny feeling in my stomach began to grow.
"Nonsense! We share a lot of the same fans, come on, come sing with me" Ben made me look up at him as he was doing puppy dog eyes and sticking out his bottom lip. I rolled my eyes and quickly nodded, feeling sick to my stomach. Ben punched the air and hugged me before rushing on to the stage to join his band. I stood on the edge of the stage watching Neck Deep perform their set, but I couldn't concentrate, anxiety filling my mind. Before long Ben started to sing the first words to A Part Of Me, and a member of their crew handed me a microphone. Soon it got to my bit of the song and Ben spoke into the mic.
"Please welcome to the stage, Karina from Silver Lining".
I stumbled onto the stage and put the microphone up to my mouth.
I fell for a boy who could never ever let me walk home that way cause you gotta be safe, so hold back you're fuse, we're both leaving soon, I can't fall back on you cause that's not what I do
As soon as I sung the first line all my anxiety left my body and I sang my part passionately into the microphone with the help of the crowd. Ben ran up and threw his arm around me as we both finished singing the last parts of the song. The crowd before us was going insane, with mosh pits erupting in various places. Ben thanked the crowd and we all waved before walking off together.
"That was insane oh my god" I said grinning widely. Ben chuckled and threw his arm around me.
"You're so cute when you're excited" he said planting a kiss on the top of my head. I giggled before standing on my toes and pecking him on the lips. I then wriggled out of his arms and hugged every member of Neck Deep. I came to Dani last and threw my arms around him roughly. He leaned in a whispered softly in my ear.
"I still haven't forgiven you for getting me out in dodgeball"
We both laughed and I winked at him before running back to Ben.
"I don't even know man I just feel really hyper and not at all anxious and let's go do something" I looked up at Ben who was still laughing at me. He took hold of my hand and started to walk towards another stage.
"C'mon you, let's go mosh".
