I woke up before Ben again, but instead of attempting to climb out of bed again, I just lay there. After a while a fell back asleep, only to be awoken by a loud shout.
“Ow! Fuck!” Ben’s voice came from the ground. I poked my head out from the bunk, Ben had rolled out of bed and fallen onto the ground. I laughed, and so did he. He got up and off the ground.
“Good morning Jade.” He whispered.
“Morning,” I whispered back. I climbed out of bed, he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me to the back room. No one was there, so we sat on the couch and put on a movie. A nice good horror movie to wake up to. Perfection.
Ben slid his arm around my shoulders, pretending to yawn and stretch as he did. I laughed at him, real slick I thought to myself. I smiled, he was so cute.
“Hey Jade.” Ben said, turning to me, “Can I ask you a question?”
“Of course, anything” I replied.
“Erm… are we… dating?” He asked.
I felt my heart at the bottom of my throat. I swallowed hard, my throat hurting.
“Erm,” I said.
“Because… I would really much like to date you…” He said.
“I would like to date you too.” I said, turning to look at him.
“Well… now are we dating?” He asked.
“I guess so.” I said.
Ben smiled, he put his other hand on my chin, pulling my face closer to his. He kissed me gently on the lips, another small peck. I smiled and put my hands on the sides of his face, stopping him from moving any farther apart. I looked into his beautiful eyes, as he looked into mine. I giggled and blushed. Ben smiled.
“Your so cute, its ridiculous. You’ve changed so much since high school. Whats it been? Six months?” He asked.
“I guess so” I said,
“You changed quite a bit yourself Mr.” I pointed out.
“Yeah, so have everyone else.” Ben said.
“Don’t get me started!” I said.
Ben laughed. I let go of his face, and turned back to the TV. Ben leaned his head down on my shoulder. We watched movies until the rest of the band woke up.
“I’m hungry” Danny complained, as he crawled out of bed.
“Want to stop for food?” Ben asked.
“Yes!” Cameron shouted off in the distance.
We laughed. Ben informed the bus driver to stop at the next town with a McDonalds.
“I’m so exited.” I said, “I want to explore as much of this country as possible!”
“Don’t explore too much, not everything is oh-so beautiful” Danny said. Danny had already lived here quite some time. He had his own house in the state of California and everything. I thought that was pretty nice. He said if we hit a town near enough to it, he’ll take us there. I really hoped we did, I really wanted to see where the Danny Worsnop lived.
I walked over to my bunk, it was still the same from the first day on tour. I laughed, maybe I should sleep in it sometime. I grabbed a change of cloths, my ‘Get On your Knees’ shirt, with some white shorts. I grabbed some black Vans and headed for the bathroom. We were stopping at a hotel room tonight, so I would finally be able to shower. I straightened my hair, adding a bit of volume to the top so that it wouldn’t look so flat. I pinned my bangs to the side and changed into my fresh cloths.
