tour bus bitches - a warped tour fanfiction

                It had been almost an hour since they'd arrived. Gerard, Bri, and Meaghan were all hunched over their sketchbooks like losers.

"Your posture sucks ass, Gerard."

"I have scoliosis," he sniffled.

Meanwhile, Mikey, Ray, Ashley, Natalie, and Jackie talked amongst themselves. Ashley poured a jar of vegemite all over herself, rubbing it on her arms like lotion. They averted their attention to the door as Lazuli poked his head in the bus.

"We're leaving in ten minutes." Mikey furrowed his brow.

"But Frank isn't back yet."

"Well where is he?" Ray voiced, fishing in his pocket. He produced a hot pink flip phone, then dialing Frank. It rang 69 times before he picked up.

"Frank? Where are you? ...You don't know? Okay, what are you doing then? Frank, you know I'm holding that for you. Okay, hurry then." He clapped the phone shut with a sigh, rubbing the side of his head in frustration. "He said he was looking for his brain cell."

"That dumb bitch," Mikey sighed. From that point on they waited, anxious to see if Frank would make it to the bus before they left. Time dragged on slowly, wracking the nerves of everyone alike. Suddenly, Natalie spotted him out the window, sprinting toward the bus. He looked stupid as fuck, but at least he would make it in time for the departure.

"Leaving in ten seconds, guys," Lazuli warned. They watched tensely, Frank running as fast as his legs would take him. "3...2...1..."

The doors shut and the bus began to move. No one spoke. Frank was gone...left behind. Only the sound of the bus engine and the slurp of vegemite on Ashley's arms could be heard.

"I can't believe this." Gerard began to cry, taking off his back brace in order to fold over on himself properly. Bri silently took the brace for unknown reasons. Jackie sat down next to him, patting his fucked up back comfortingly.

"Maybe I can play for him at concerts?" She offered, hoping to provide him with some comfort.

"I'm a shitty leader," he cried, his eyeliner going literally everywhere. Everyone jumped as there was a sudden bang against the window. It was...Frank! He was stuck to the window like a dead bug, banging desperately on the glass whilst also screaming. Natalie opened the window, helping him climb inside the bus.

"How the hell did you do that?"

"It wasn't me," he shuddered. "A kangaroo threw me, I think my dick fell off." Everyone turned to Ashley, who was now slurping the excess vegemite off her arms.

"What? I wasn't just going to leave him there."
