Following In His Footsteps

Chapter Four

We all sat around and played. Most people had seperated from the group or gone to bed. "Alright, Jack, truth or dare?" Ben asked. "Dare" Jack challenged with a smirk. "I dare you to play the rest of this game in your boxers" Ben said. "I know you like this" Jack said with a wink as he stirpped. 

"Alriiight, my turn" Jack said and looked around. We locked eyes and I kind of chuckled. "Alright for laughing at me I chose Alice" Jack said. "Truth because I'm a chicken" I said. "Out of everyone here who would you date?" Jack asked. "Wow I was expecting you to say fuck" I admitted. "I can change that if you insist" he said, raising his hands in defence. "No, no, no. Alright well... I'd chose me. My turn!" I grinned, people groaned at my piss poor answer.

"Fine. I'd chose either Josh, Chris or Alex because we'd have a fun time" I said with a shrug. "Fun time" Danny winked, making quotation marks with his fingers, one bottle still in hand. I rolled my eyes. Alex smirked at me from beside me. Chris had gone to bed and Josh had too I guess since he wasn't here.

"I chose Danny, truth or dare" I said. "Dare" he answered with a challenging raised eye brow. "Wear one of the bras ATL has on stage tomorrow" I smirked. Danny shrugged. "OK" he said. "I chose Alex, truth or dare my friend?" Danny asked. (Koehler). "I'll go truth because you're Danny and you're fucking insane" Alex chuckled, drinking more from his bottle. "Well since you chose truth, everyone saw this coming..." Danny paused.

"Tits or ass?" he said. I expected him to ask who he liked... Wow... "Ass for sure" Alex said with a smirk. "Mike, you're up" Alex said. "Dare" Mike grinned a toothy grin. "I dare you to go run down the venue naked screaming out "raging hard boner"" Alex laughed, so did everyone else. There was still a few workers up so they'd see and hear him. I laughed along too. "Fine" he slurred a little drunk. Mike turned his back to us and stipped, covering his front, and ran. "RAGING HARD BONER!!" he yelled and everyone in our group burst out in laughter. 

You know how when you're in a concert and everyone is chanting the same thing and it feels united and amazing? Well, that's what it felt like right now. I love how we're all a family and so close. Mike came back and put his clothes back on. Tony handed him back his drink. 

"Alright, Josh, truth or dare?" Mike asked. Josh? Oh my god Josh was just out of sight... He was sitting next to Max but I couldn't see him. Great. "Dare" Josh said in his cute accent. "Make out with Alice" Mike laughed. MIKE!? You know what? Screw this whole family thing. Fuck them. "Alan do I have permission to kiss your daughter?" Josh slurred a little. Alan gave him a confused look then turned to me and grinned. "I do" Alan laughed. ALAN'S NOT MY DAD! 

I was about to say something but Josh kneeled beside me, cupped my face, then kissed me. I kissed back. It wasn't a rough kiss but it was more a light kiss. His lips were soft and he smelt like alcohol but it wasn't bad alcohol so that made it OK. Wolf whistles errupted the air along with clapping and chuckles. Josh pulled back and bit his lip, winking, then stood up and went over to his spot again. 

"I chose Tyler" Josh said. "Yeah?" Carter said in a girly way. "Pick truth or dare" Josh said. "Um... I chose... I..." Tyler thought. "He says dare" Michael said beside him. "Tyler I dare you to wear all purple and green and even like, y'know, paint your hair too and act like Barney the dinosaur. Say to the fans he's your insiration" Josh said, making posh and fancy hand gestures as he said "inspiration". Everyone chuckled and Tyler pouted. "Why?" he groaned. 

"Alright Michael, that was your fault, so chose" Tyler said. "Dare" Michael challenged with a look of come-at-me-bro. "I dare you to call Sarah and tell her you're cheating on her and that you're sorry, and, at the end you can tell her it was a dare" Tyler grinned. Michael got out his phone and pressed a few things. "Hey babe!" Sarah said. "Hey Sar, I uh... There's no easy way to say this... But... You know- You know how tours get a little crazy and wild?" Michael said in a serious tone. Holy shit I would have believed him. 

"Michael you've been gone one day" Sarah said. That's true. "I know babe, I uh, I cheated on you. I'm sorry it was an accident" Michael said sadly. Wow, he was good. "Michael? W-Why would you do" Sarah was saying but then Tyler leant over. "No Sarah it was a dare! I'm an asshole I know! Sorry we love you Sarah!" Tyler shouted. "Am I on loud speaker!?" Sarah asked. "Yeah" Michael said. "Michael and Tyler, when I see you again, you're in HUGE trouble misters" she said. 

Everyone started laughing. "We love you Sar, we're picking you up soon" Michael said. "Love you too babe" Sarah said. They said their goodbyes and now it was Michael's turn. 

I woke up the next day in a bed... "Pablo you stupid fuck!" I heard someone yell. I shot up and my head hurt a little. "Shut up it's not my fault" Pablo said. "We've been on tour one day- one! And now the nutella is all gone" I recognised the voice as Jason's. "I didn't eat it all!" Pablo said in his defence. "Guys! What's the problem here? Everyone's hungover and no one needs this" I said. "Pablo ate all the nutella" Jason said, pointing at Pablo like a child who just got busted by their parents.

"Pablo?" I asked, putting a hand on my hip. "I didn't!" Pablo said. I squinted my eyes shut. "Stop the yelling. A whole jar?" I asked. "No there's some left but I haven't had any yet, unlike Pablo over here" Jason said nodding towards Pablo. I saw the bus door was open. "Alright here's how it's gonna go; I'm gonna eat it" I said, taking it. "What!?" they both yelled. I ran out the door and ran through the busses. 

I ran into Jeffrey along the way. "Shit! Sorry" I said. "It's cool, why do you have...?" he asked, motioning to the nutella. "No time to explain, hide me!" I said and we ran into his bus. Pablo and Jason were runnign and looking around. I smirked and Jeff gave me a confused look. "I stole it" I shrugged. "Got any bread?" I said, getting up again. "Uh yeah" Jeff laughed, handing me some. I ate a nutella sandwich. "How come you didn't stay up late?" I asked Jeff.

"Show day today, wonna be on our game" he said. "Alright mate" I said, trying to copy him. "You're cute when you try, but you can't, you suck" he joked, poking the tongue at me. "Shut up" I said, eating my sandwich, sitting on their bench. I then got ready for the day, going back to the Of Mice bus. Why was I in Chelsea Grin's bus? Oh god... I hope nothing too intense happened... I saw Alan drinking water. 

"Alan what happened last night?" I asked. "I got drunk and went to bed. I told Alex to take care of you since he was sitting next to you. Why? Did you have a little sexy time?" Alan winked. "No" I said, rolling my eyes and leaving again. I opened the bus up and got my suitcase foreward. I got my clothes then went for a shower. I came out in a tank top and short shorts since it was kinda hot today. 

I saw Alex walking around with a box. "Hey Alex how come I woke up in your bus?" I asked. "In my bunk" he corrected. "Because you fell asleep on my shoulder" he chuckled, I blushed lightly. "Sorry" I said. "It's fine" he smiled. "Well I'm moving stuff right now to help set up, watch us play later?" he asked. "Sure, if Jason and Pablo don't want to kill me" I said. Alex raised an eye brow. "I stole the nutella" I shrugged. "You stole the nutella!?" Alex said, glaring at me playfully. 

"Oh shit" I giggled. "I'll let you off the hook" Alex shrugged. "Alice" I heard being sung behind me. I turned to see Ryan and Jack. "Hey half of All Time Low" I said. We chatted for a few minutes. "Hey Ace, would you mind helping out a little?" dad asked with Oli beside him. "Alright!" I called. "Well I'll see you guys later" I said. "No we're bored, entertain us" Jack whined. "We're like puppy dogs, you have to entertain us all day" Ryan said.

"Nah we're like boners, don't go away until you deal with them" Jack added. I laughed, "Well I was gonna go help set up so I'll see you dicks later then" I smiled. "Bye!" they waved, walking away to help set up. "So is Hannah coming?" I asked Oli as we moved boxes. "Yeah in a week or so" he said. "What about you? Are we picking up any lucky guy?" Oli asked. "Nope" I shrugged. Oli gave me a confused look. "No boyfriend?" he asked. "No boyfriend" I confirmed. 

"You'll find someone, probably a band member" Oli said. "What makes you think that?" I asked. "There's plenty of guys here who would date you, hey you never know, you might just meet a guy in the crowd then end up dating and getting married and having kids and if that happens I am the god-father or really cool uncle" Oli said pointing at me. I rolled my eyes with a chuckle. "Sure, everyone here is going to be an uncle" I laughed. 

"I know but I said I'm gonna be the really cool uncle, that makes me better than everyone else" he laughed. "Show time in an hour and a half" I heard some workers talking with each other. "I'm probably only going to watch a few people play, I mean, it's pretty hot. I'm thinking about chillin' with Adam all day" I shrugged. "Fair enough love" Oli said. I wondered around after that. I walked around buses and then someone grabbed me, covering my mouth and then my eyes. I tried to move but nothign worked.
