"Hi Missy." A soft voice said from behind me.
I turned my head to the bus door and took a drag of my cigarette as I saw Savannah poking her head outside.
"Hey Savannah." I said.
She walked out into the dark, closing the bus door behind her.
"What are you doing out here?" She asked me.
I took a long drag of my cigarette and she chuckled.
"Guess that was a stupid question huh?" She said.
"Of course not." I said with a small smile.
"I didn't get to talk much to you before. I'm kind of gonna be hanging around a lot more. I want to get to know you better. It's always fun to hang out with the guys. But it's great to have a girlfriend." Savannah said with a smile.
I smiled slowly and threw the remainder of my cigarette on the floor.
"I want to get to know you too. Zacky is, a good friend of mine, and he seems to really like you." I told her honestly.
The most brilliant smile lit up her face and I couldn't help but smile as well.
"Really?" She asked.
I nodded.
"That really means so much to me. Especially coming from you. I've heard a lot of things about the guys. From what I've read and things I've heard from people who don't really know them. It must take a really strong woman to stick with them through a year long tour. Tells a lot about a persons character." Savannah said.
I smiled and nodded.
"There's so many misconceptions of them. Everyone thinks they're assholes that just want to drink and party and screw random girls. But that's not them at all. They are some of the hardest working men I've ever met in my life. Yeah they like to have fun and go crazy just as much as the next person. But they always make sure the work is done before they play. And a lot of people don't see how real they are. How close their connection is. That they're not just a band, but a family." I told her.
She was looking at me with her head tilted to the side.
"You really care about them don't you?" She asked.
"Of course I do. They're my family." I told her firmly.
She looked a little taken back.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean any disrespect." Savannah said quickly.
I shook my head quickly, trying to clear the anger.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap on you." I said to her.
She smiled and put her hand on my arm.
"Are you okay?" She asked me.
I looked down at the ground and nodded.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just tired." I said.
"Yeah, I heard you and your boyfriend back there." She giggled.
I couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Sorry." I said softly.
"It's no problem. Zacky is the exact same way, but I'm way too embarrassed to do that in a bus full of people." Savannah said with a giggle.
"Keep hanging with us, we'll corrupt you in no time." I said with a grin.
Savannah grinned and lightly nudged me.
"Is that a promise?" She asked.
"Oh that's a guarantee." I laughed.
We started laughing uncontrollably and soon we started talking about the most random things.
It was so much fun.
Savannah was completely right.
It is fun to have a girlfriend.
