downtime & brown boxes

"Now that," I pointed behind me at the door leading to the stage, "is how you finish off a show!" I laughed as I made my way to the catering table, deciding between a water or a beer- can you guess which?

"No- you're right! You guys absolutely smashed it out there wow!" Our manager takes a seat on the black couch, cracking himself open a can. "Any plans for back home?" He takes a sip as his brows raise.

"Not much really." I shrug and take a sip. It's the same old thing every time: greet family, catch up with friends, write, drink- write some more...

"Well," he sighed "make sure you rest up, maybe in the next upcoming weeks we can expect the label to give us the green light on that studio time for the debut."

"What about the debut?" My twin brother Jake asked as he strolled into the dressing room, the other two members- Sam and Danny not far behind.

"Studio time could be coming up really soon for you boys, the public anticipation is high so we gotta take advantage of that while we can." Our manager, Craig, smiled; taking another sip of his beer.

"Ah I can't wait to officially start writing for it, I already write down some lyrics!" Sam, the bassist, beamed as he took a sip of his water. "I absolutely cannot wait, can you tell?!"

"Easy there young brother, we're still waiting on that signal." Jake took a sit on the couch's arm, a foot resting on the coffee table as I sat next to him on the couch. "Think you're gonna head out tonight?" he asked as he shifted to look at me.

"Nah don't think so." I said as I picked at my pants; staring off into nothing, "not really in the mood tonight, yanno?" I shrugged.

"Yeah I get you." Jake nodded, raising a brow. "Ready to go back home?"

"Eh, kind of," I shrugged once again, looks like shrugging was my move for tonight, "It's the same routine over and over again. Don't get me wrong- I love it back home but," I sighed "traveling at least gives me something new even if it is just parties. At least the location is different and I'm not seeing the same ole faces I grew up with." I sighed in defeat.

"Understandable." Jake nodded.

"Maybe I'm just over this whole thing," My eyes went wide, "the partying I mean."

"Oh I thought you meant this whole thing!" Danny jumped in. "I am not ready to move back there just yet, give me some time!" he laughed. Ah Danny, he always had a good attitude about most things, charismatic- at least he kept us somewhat level-headed.

"Nah don't worry Daniel, not anytime soon." I smirked, getting up with a clap before patting my brother's knee,  "now let's get packing- we have a plane to catch!"
