Danny's P.O.V:

I was the last to wake up... I assumed anyway as I could hear everyone talking. After lying in bed for about 15 minutes, I finally got out of my bunk. Only because I needed a wee though. Otherwise I would've stayed for as long as I could.
When I walked towards the bathroom I noticed everyone except Ben was there.
"Afternoon Danny. Hangover?" Cam was the first to greet me.
"What time is it? And yeah, pretty bad."
"It's about 12 ish." Kyle added.
"And where's the birthday boy?"
"We assumed he was still sleeping, but when we went to wake him up, he wasn't in his bunk..."
"Strange... could be at that strippers house?" And just at that moment, here comes Ben himself.
"Could be," said Ben, walking in and sitting down with everyone else. We was all supposed to be up first and then when he woke up we were gonna sing happy birthday to him, but I guess that's out of the window now.
"3, 2, 1," Sam said to us, while Ben was looking rather confused as to why he was counting.
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Ben, Happy Birthday to you. Hip hip, hooray! Hip hip, hooray! hip hip, hooray!" we all sang whilst Ben's confusion turned into a genuine smile.
I totally forgot that I needed to go to the toilet, and sat down next to Kyle. Everybody was getting their gifts out and handing them to Ben, one by one.
The first gift was from James and Brandi. It was a green day t-shirt that Ben had had his eyes on.
The second was from Sam, some beautiful and expensive guitar picks.
The third was from Cam. He had gotten him 3 CDs. These were the brand new Slipknot album: .5: The Gray Chapter, the new Foo Fighters album: Sonic Highways and a Guns 'N' Roses Greatest Hits album.
Kyle's gift was a bottle of Jack Daniels.
My gift was next. Yes even though I hate him I can't just not get him a birthday present. It would be awkward and unfair. He still gets me them too. My gift was shot glasses. They were three; one said 'vodka' in red bold lettering; the second said 'tequila' in yellow capitals; the third said 'rum' in green lowercase letters. But that wasn't the only thing I bought him...

"Aw thanks guys! I can tell this is gonna be a fucking awesome day!" Ben said, after unwrapping all his gifts from us.

"Hey Ben, did you have a good night last night anyway?" Sam piped in.

"Yeah, it was one of the best nights in ages!"

"Glad you had a good night, I- well we have something planned for tonight, Ben, so don't make any plans." Cam said with a wink.

"Thank you Manchester! You've been a wonderful auidience, but before it's finished, I'd like to ask you a favour," All Time Low, Black Veil Brides, our managers and My Chemical Romance entered the stage.

"Can we sing a happy 23rd Birthday to Mr Ben Bruce and 33rd to Mr Frank Iero over here? Can you fuckers do that for me?" The crowd went wild, and I just smiled and continued. "Okay, 1, 2, 3..."

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday Ben and Frank, Happy Birthday to you!" the crowd, and all of us on stage chanted. 

"Hip hip,"

"Hooray!" they screamed in reply. 

After that, both Frank and Ben said a thank you to us all and the crowd, and we have one thing left in store for them. 

Those of us who could sing, all had our mics, whilst the drummers, guitarists and bassists were playing the instruments. We sang Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana to the crowd. As it is a well known song, everybody was jumping about and singing the lyrics back to us.

"Hello, hello, hello, how low

Hello, hello, hello, how low

Hello, hello, hello, how low

Hello hello, hello" 

Ben was really putting everything he had into this performance. So was everyone else really. Then Andy began to sing the chorus, and it was now time for Ray, Ben and Jake to play the solo whilst the other guitarists were looking proudly at their other band members. 

"With the lights out, it's less dangerous

Here we are now, entertain us

I feel stupid, and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino

A mosquito, my libido

A denial, a denial, a denial,

a denial, a denial, a denial,

a denial, a denial, a denial."

Me, Andy, Gerard and all the backing singers sung together for the last chorus, putting our heart and soul into it. 

"Thank you everyone for coming out tonight, we hope to see you next tour!"

Tonight had been a great night, and this was just the start of it...

After we had gone back to the bus and had changed, we all set out to the shops, with Ben and Frank still in confusion and curious of what we had planned for them. We went into serveral shops in groups, as we couldn't all go in a buy beer from the same shop. 

After buying a crate and a bottle of whatever liquor they had to offer, we headed to a field that wasn't surrounded by houses, so as not to disturb the neighbours. The field was pretty big and as planned, the girls from the strip club had come to join us again, with a few other friends we had invited to come down. 

We all set our beer down, and i took my bluetooth speaker out of my pocket. We made sure to let everyone know to bring one if they had one, and we also bought a couple, just in case they all die before the party ends. I played some Calvin Harris to get the party going and we all began to drink.., again.
