We Don't Have To Dance

Chapter One

"I thought you told Johnny not to buy so many damn hotels" Andy huffs, shaking his head

"Well I see why he did" I shrug "We're gonna he here for two nights before tour so it'd be kinda stupid to stay on the bus"

"I guess" he nods "You should call him though and tell him you want to-"

"I already did Andy" I laugh a bit

"Okay"

From my drawers, I pick out a few outfits, and throw it in an over night bag. When we're finished gathering our items, we head into the hotel. As per usual; the guys are all in one room, while me and Lyric have our own. Expect, even though Cc is with us, he rooms with Andy.

"Nice hotel" Lyric nods

"Not as nice as the ones we used to stay at"

"Well Johnny probably wanted to make things cheaper for us" she shrugs

"Oh" I nod, in understanding, "Ya know, I'm gonna give Johnny a call"

I whip out my iPhone, scrolling through all my contacts; it's funny how I only had about fifty before I became famous. Now I have about three hundred, so it's almost like a business phone.

Ring ring
Ring ring
Ring-

"Hello?"

"Hey Johnny" I smile "I was just calling about the hotel situation-"

"I tried to get you guys a cheaper hotel because your money concerns. As well as there's hardly any nights you'll be staying in-"

"No I just wanted to say thanks" I laugh

"Oh" he says

"Yeah, we thought you got the cheaper hotel to comply to our-"

"Yeah yeah" he cuts me off "You guys pretty much only have hotels on off days"

"That's good, thank you, I'm happy we're on the same page."

"Yeah" he nods "You guys are in Washington right now, right?"

"Huh" I laugh "We are?"

"I mean you should be"

"I didn't know where we-"

"I did that so the plane tickets would be cheaper. Tomorrow morning, your bus will be moved on a ship over seas, then you guy's will get to Plymouth, have a hotel for the night. Take a cab to your venue, then when you finish, the bus will pick you up"

"Alright alright" I nod "Thanks Johnnie"

"Yeah, kill it out there, kid"

I smile, hanging up

The next day, the plane ride is shorter then leaving from California, but also with that, we're not flying into central so that plays into it. When we arrive we get our hotel, which is actually a little motel, but I'm fine with that.

"I'm happy we get to tour here" I smile "I haven't gotten to see much of the UK"

"Well this is my very first time seeing it" Grim snakes his arm around my shoulder

"I can out to visit Asking"

"It still amazes me the way  you talk about band members" Shane shakes his head

"What do you mean?" I widen my eyes

"It's just awesome that all of your friends are famous" he exclaims, so I nod

"Hey losers" Lyric smiles, walking out in a sparkly tube top dress "Are we gonna go party?"

"The rehab person said-"

"It's just alcohol" she sings laughing

"I mean" Shane smirks

"I'm gonna sit this one out guys" Grim sighs

"Hey" I grab his hand and he looks at me

"Let's go to this god damn party, and have fun. We don't need drugs to have fun"

"Thanks" he hugs me, then we go get ready

I put on some black shorts and a long sleeve sparkly black shirt with wedge heals, and a shower. Then I do Smokey eye, red lip stick, and put my hair up in a pony tail. When I walk out everyone looks nice, so I smile, "Let's go!"

Well when we get to the pub, I feel more confident. They don't really have clubs here, just little pubs, which is good because there's no real drugs.

"This shits lame" Lyric frowns, then goes up to the bar tender "Are there any clubs around here?"

"There's a party" he smiles, then smirks "But there's a fifty dollar admission fee"

We head down to the basement of the bar and automatically there's music glaring and people dancing.

"NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT!"

Lyric scurries to the dance floor, so I drag Grim over, but Shane goes directly to the bar. Through the night I stick right by Grim's side, but as it's twelve and we're tired because not only is it late but the tame difference kinda fucks us up. When we walk around to try and gather our other friends, though, they're no where to be found.

So me and Grim walk up the stairs, and head outside to try and get a quiet place to call... but neither of them answer.

"They'll be fine" Grim sings, "Let's just go back to the hotel"

So we do, but I can't sleep out of worry. When I finally start falling asleep though, it's four in the morning, and that's just when Lyric bursts through the door.

"Woah! PARTY!" She flicks on the light and starts dancing around

"Lyric What the fuck?" I rub my eyes, trying to assure I'm seeing straight

"Come on Max" she grabs a guy's hand, who has accident

"I'm not Max I'm Jim!"

"I missed you Maxy" I walks as she bites his lip, then guides him to the bed

I look at her eyes in disbelief... she's using again!

"Lyric! What the fuck did you do" she looks at me, then gets up and punches me, so I punch her so hard she passes out. Then I start dragging her up the bed.

"You need to leave" I look at the guy watching me

"Can I do her really quick- then-"

"NO!" I scream, "Get out!"

I trudge towards him, running him out of the room. Then I go over to Lyrics bed, on the verge of tears... she worked so hard. I cover her up with blankets, and with sorrow, kiss her head. After, I snatch my key, heading over to Andy's room, which is for some reason unlocked. So I go in quietly, closing and locking the door, then hopping into someone's bed.

"WHAT THE FUCK" Cc shouts frantically

"Sh, Andy's sleeping" I whisper, and he relaxes

"Huh?!" Andy sits up, so I put my hand over Cc's mouth who starts laughing, so I try not to laugh, covering my own mouth, "Fuck off Cc"

I listen to the sounds of Andy's bed croaking as he rolls over, then Cc whispers, "I have a girl-"

"Cc!" I whisper shout "I just need a place to sleep because Lyric is high as fuck"

"Oh, why didn't you sleep with Andy?" He asks

"I didn't know who's bet was who's"

In the darkness I can see him nod, then he lays down, and so do I, facing the opposite way as him. Then he wraps an arm around me, pulling me into his chest, "night"

"Night" I whisper, relaxing
