Drama Is All Over The Place

Chapter Sixty-Two

Aj's Pov-
"We'll be hitting Albuquerque in a few hours!" Our driver Jeff informed us. Thank God. As much as I love being on the tour bus, it gets to cramped. We have a show there tonight, so we're resting as much as we can. Then we gotta do a quick sound check/rehearsal, then we do the show. Sometimes I wonder why even do those sound checks/rehearsals, I mean we've been doing this for 4 years now. But our manager wants us to be the best, and we are the best. I was bored and looked around, Kevin was sleeping, Nick was playing Nintendo, Brian was eating a sandwich while watching Nick, and D was sitting off to the side with a blank stare. Even though Kevin told me to back off, I still gotta know. I creeped over to Howie and said, "Why the blank stare?" He didn't look up, just kept staring off. "You just want to know what's been bothering me." He spat, looking annoyed. I rolled my eyes and said, "Yeah. And?" Getting up to get away from me he said, "Do you not listen? I'll talk when I'm ready. And I'll talk with all of you."

D must have told Kevin I had bothered him, because he was standing in front of me with his arms folded over his chest. "Seriously AJ? We agreed to give him his space." Rolling my eyes I said, "All I asked was why he had a blank stare." "He's just got an attitude problem because he wants to be stubborn and not tell us what's bothering him." Brian came over to us and said, "Hey, guys, umm were about to hit Albuquerque." Kev and I nodded and all 3 of us walked back to the bunks to grab our stuff. D and Nick were coming out as we went in, "Y'all not gonna pack your stuff?" I asked them, D of course ignored me; "We already did." Nick said. Kevin pointed to my bunk and said, "Pack your stuff AJ."

The second we hit Albuquerque, it started to rain. It wasn't just a little sprinkling, it was raining like cats and dogs. So we had to wait for it to clear up before we could get into the venue. We were parked outside of it, in an area where we could be at peace before the fans discovered that we were back here. After about 15 minutes, we were getting antsy, we had been on this bus for hours. I opened the curtains up to the windows and said, "Looks like the rain is clearing up." Soon the five of us were scrambling around to get our bags, and off the bus. We pushed each other towards the door and off the bus, once we got outside, Nick yelled, "FREEDOM!" We all glared at him and said, "Nick! Shut up!" A security guard saw us, and pointed to the door and said, "Go in." We all rushed inside the venue. Our manager spotted us and took us to a dressing room where we could drop our stuff off. He then hurried us to the stage for a quick rehearsal.
