Life On Tour (Peterick Sequel)

You're About To Bloom

Kind of a filler chapter *collective moans* But I would love for someone to suggest random update names bc as you can tell I've hit rock bottom.

I awoke to the sound of light conversation and the scent of breakfast. Normally my eyes decided to flutter open somewhere around noon, but my early night must've triggered an early morning.

I sat up, rubbed my eyes, and looked around the bus living area and over at the kitchenette where the appetizing food was. I scanned over Pete who was sat on the other couch, Joe who was doing whatever he was on his phone, and the blurry figure of Andy that was leaning the small counter. Ah Andy, just the man I wanted to see...or squint at.

"So what about being straight Andy?" I asked across the bus groggily, still half-asleep. He froze as my bandmates directed their surprised attention towards me.

"What about what?" Joe responded, obviously as confused as me.

"What are you talking about Patrick?" Andy asked, almost as if he was trying to cover for something he didn't want the rest of us to know. I shook my head and claimed that's must've been dreaming, even though I for sure knew I wasn't.

After convincing Joe to bring me a cup of coffee, I grabbed my glasses and phone from the side table and opened the twitter app. My notifications were oddly growing even though I hadn't sent out anything in the past day or so.

I moved my thumb to the little blue bell and read through the replies to a picture I was tagged in.

"@joshuadun- @petewentz You lucky little shit Pete. I need to come and cuddle with him"

"@hellosarahurie- @petewentz So cute!! Pass him through the internet to me!!"

"@hurleyxvx- @petewentz Stop staring at him, it's a little creepy..."

I was pretty confused on why everyone was tweeting Pete about something I was tagged in about being so cute. I scrolled all the way down until I reached my answer.

"@petewentz- My little angel <3" Attached there was a picture of me curled up on the couch, asleep.

"You tweeted a picture of me sleeping?!" I asked Pete a little loudly, my cheeks turning red.

"What? I couldn't help it! You just looked so cute!" I sighed and put my face in my hands. Pete knew that I never really liked posting things about relationships or showing any PDA. It just wasn't my thing.

"Oh come on babe," Pete came over and sat down next to me. "I think the goal of this tour is to get you over your "fear of showing affection." I rolled my eyes as he continued to push me. "Pleaseee? I want to show off my Patrick." He nuzzled my neck, giving me chills and making me cave in.

"Oh fine. But nothing to the extreme!"

I was laying in the bedroom when the door abruptly swung open to Pete.

"What would you say if we invited a guest on tour with us?" My mind stopped. A guest? We already had three bands and Lolo.

"Like to sing with us? Or just be a roadie? And who exactly?"

"Just a roadie," he replied. "And I want you to guess."

"Peteeee," I whined.

"Erica"

"What?"

"Erica," he said again. "What if she could come on the road with us for a few days?! What do you think?!"

Pete had a pretty excited look on his face. I knew him and Erica got along very well and were becoming good friends by texting and using social media.

"Well obviously you have to check with management fir-"

"Already did!" His sudden answer caused me to jerk my head back and blink a few times.

"Well I guess if Joe and Andy are alright with it and if she's allowed to then...I'm okay with it." Pete ran over and jumped onto the bed next to me.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" He wrapped his arms around me, kissed my cheek, and settled into the bed before he got out his phone and most likely texted Erica back to say she could come along.

"So when would she be here?" I asked.

"Probably the 15th to the 23rd. This is going to be so much fun Patrick!" I shook my head and laughed at his silliness.

"Should I tell her that you're fangirling over her coming with us?"

"Well she might be doing the same so you can't blame me!" I laughed again and directed my attention back to the book on my lap.

/No POV/

Pete- {Patrick said yes!! I'll let the venue know that you're coming so we can meet at the gates next week.}

Erica- {Yay! and ok, I'll let my dad know that we'll see you there. By the way, since my parents are divorced (which you already know) I don't think you've met my dad before so I'm sure he'll want to meet you guys before he lets me off on a week with ya haha}

Pete- {Alright! We can work out times once the day gets closer.}

Erica- {Sounds good!}

Pete- {Oh and one more thing...}

Erica- {What is it?}

Pete- {So I made this deal with Patrick this morning that he should work on his "fear of PDA" and he agreed, as long as I don't go to the extremes. Do you think you could help?}

Erica- {Haha oh my god I would love to! I run a blog, so maybe I can post a thing or two there from time to time while I'm with you guys.}

Pete- {Perfect!}

Erica- {Well I'm going to go get a few things together. Thank you sooooo much for suggesting this and allowing me to come!!}

Pete- {No problem! Can't wait to see you ;)}
