Dream Boy | Waterparks

003

Audrey's P.O.V

I finish my short set, yell a quick thank you into the mic, throw I quick kiss into the crowd, and rapidly walked offstage. Didn't run, didn't walk, just... quickly walked. Doesn't matter. I took off my guitar and looked up to be met by the five guys of waterparks (don't say they are three, I know. And you know I meant the team. Yes, you know.) smiling and clapping along with the crowd, which made a slight blush rise on my cheeks, along with a shy smile.
"Dude, you did amazing! I told you you wouldn't fuck it up!" Awsten says.
"Thanks, haha. But I did mess up! Once! It wasn't bad, but it happened."
"Well, I didn't notice, so it should be fine."
"If you say so." I giggle.
The others congratulate me and we head back to the green room, as the guys finish their last preparations for their set. And that's when it came back to me:
"Hey Awsten, remember that promise you made before?" I ask, with an evil, I guess, grin.
"..no?" he questions.
"You know, how you said that if I messed up, you'd mess up on purpose as well?"
"Oh god. Do I really have to?"
"You can't start breaking promises on the first night, dude. Especially after I said I thought you'd be able to keep the bus clean for a whole 4 shows!" I laugh.
"Fine! I'll mess up, but only once. Keep an ear out for it, alright? I'm going to quiz you after on your waterparks knowledge."
"I bet I'll get an incredible grade!"
He laughs and shakes his head, waving a little goodbye at me as he leaves the green room to the side stage, joining his bandmates. I decide to sit down and rest for a bit in the green room before going out and seeing them perform.

About 10-ish minutes later, I hear the crowd cheering and awsten yelling into the mic. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that means they went on. I get up from my seat and move to the side stage. I watch them perform, making sure to keep an ear out for what song he'd mess up in.

"The waterparks quiz begins now!" Awsten yells, waking into the bus.
"Oh yea, that." I reply.
"The what?" Jawn asks.
"I'm quizzing her to see if she's a real fan or not."
Jawn gives me a wtf look, which makes me giggle.
"First! Which song did I mess up in?" He says as he sits down at the table across the couch.
"Easy. Take her to the moon!" I cross my arms.
"Easy?"
"Yea. I know it all by heart. A personal favorite, I have to admit it."
"Sure. Second question!" He looks around the room.
"What's a surgery that I had before?" He says with a smug look.
"Umm... you had a surgery on your knee."
"Creep???? Literally nobody knows about it??"
"I've been told by a parxie, so I wouldn't be so sure about nobody knowing..."
He gives me a weird look.
"Third question..."
A minute passes by.
"I don't know." He simply says, which makes me laugh.
"Alright then. Now it's my turn to quiz you." I say.
"Wait, what? That wasn't the deal!!"
"Too bad! First question: what's my middle name?" I ask, in a very sassy way.
"How the fuck am I supposed to know that???" He asks.
"It's common from where I'm from. Give it a shot."
"I don't even know where you're from! Uh, uh.. Payton?"
"Wrong! I don't have one!" I laugh.
"Then why'd you ask me what it is?"
"To mess with you? I don't know man, but it's common where I'm from to not have middle names."
"Where are you from?"
"Quebec."
"Huh. Why'd you move to LA? Wait! Don't tell me. It was for the rockstar life wasn't it?" He says with a bit too much energy.
"No..? I liked LA a lot, there is a lot more things than in my hometown. More fun, y'know? That's why I moved here. Probably would've moved here even if I wasn't a musician." I answer.
"Oh." He laughs.
"Why'd you move to LA?"
Just before he can answer, Geoff yells from the other side of the bus.
"Guys, come here!"
We all get up and squeeze in front of what I think is Awsten's bunk. Geoff simply points towards the messy floor, that already has like a pair of socks and a t-shirt on it.
"Audrey and Awsten, you guys owe us pizza."
Awsten, who was standing next to me, quietly whispers "fuck.", loud enough for only me to hear. And that simple "fuck" makes me burst into a random laughing outburst. It's weird using "burst" twice in a sentence.
The guys followed and we all just laughed while Awsten facepalmed himself.

It's now about 2 hours later, and it's around 11:30pm. I decide that I should probably go chill in my bunk and get ready for sleep. I get up from the couch and tell the guys who weren't already in their bunk goodnight as I head towards my bunk. I crouch down and open my bag to get some pjs, and as I do the bathroom door opens. I turn my head around to tell whoever was in there a quick "hey", but quickly turn it back to face my bag after I notice that it was Awsten, only in his boxers, probably because he was in the shower or something. And I think he wasn't expecting me to be there since he shut the door as quickly as I turned my head. My face heats up but I try to set it aside and I climb into my bunk. I close the curtains and change into my pjs as quickly as my small space would allow me to. I then reopen my curtain slightly and lay back down, messing on my computer. Somebody knocks on top of my bunk.
"Audrey?" I hear Awsten whisper.
Ok Audrey, don't be weird about it, you weirdo.
"Yea?" I reply.
"Uh, sorry about earlier. I forgot you were on the bus with us for a hot minute."
I let out a small nervous laugh.
"It's fine, don't worry about it."
"Ok, cool. Now that we set that aside,'I forgot to tell you that I got some pictures of you performing earlier since I saw that you didn't have a photographer? Hope you don't mind, but my point is do you want me to send them to you?"
My brain took a second to process all of that.
"Uh, uh, sure?"
"Alright here, just put it your number, and then at the same time we'll have each other's contacts if anything happens or whatever." He says as he hands over his phone.
I type in my phone number into his phone and noticed the name he gave me.
"A Canada flag emoji? Really? That is so creative and original!" I sarcastically say.
"Hey! What else was I supposed to put? I'll change it once I know more about you, I promise."
"Promises, promises!"
"Whatever! Your number looks funky!"
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" I laugh.
He puts a hand over his heart and acts shocked.
"What??" I giggle.
"You said fuck!"
"And?"
"That's a bad word!"
"Yea..? Your point is?"
"You can't curse! You're not allowed to!"
"Wh-"
"You're not gonna swear under my fucking watch! I'm keeping an eye on you!" He says as he gets up and leaves towards his bunk.
What the fuck?
A few minutes later, the screen of my phone lights up. I open the notification to see that it's the pictures Awsten took. They're all kind of blurry. I enter his contact name as "👺".
Awsten                                                    You

Dude. These suck ass
But thank you

And they say that Canadians
are nice. I have my doubts

Whatever you say
I'm going to sleep now

I plug my phone and lay back down, trying to catch some Zs.
