I've always wanted to see Italy, and now I was finally here and I couldn't go see anything. We were late as all hell and I needed to get a million things done before the show started in three hours.
If I ever needed super powers, it would be right now. Sadly, I am a mere human and my only power was over the crew that was already working hard as hell to get everything inside. I walked into the venue and started talking to the manager of the venue about possibly getting help from some of their crew if they could spare it. It really helped that he spoke English pretty well because I didn't know a damn thing in Italian.
Other than the major rush of tonight, the rest of the tour has been going quite smoothly. There were way fewer mistakes and a ton less drama than the tour with Bring Me the Horizon, but I also wasn't stuck in a love triangle, er, square, this time around. Speaking of love, Oliver and I were doing well. We only saw each other about once a week, so only twice since getting back together, because we were so busy, both being on tour. We still talked every day and we were slowly but surely working through all the mixed up feelings that we had after our break up. Every day we grew closer and Oliver was doing better and better with the drug issue every day. It felt really fast that he was getting over it and I was so proud of him. I knew it couldn't be easy.
Along with doing well with Oliver, my friendship with the rest of the boys in Bring Me the Horizon was going well. We all talked frequently and planned to spend a lot more time together when we got breaks and when tour was over. They weren't planning on moving to America just yet but they were planning on coming back with us and spending some time there while Oliver was getting settled. For the time being, he was going to stay with me until we decided if he should get his own place or if we were comfortable moving in with each other full time.
For the first time in a long time, everything was looking up. I was happy, like truly happy. I had a great boyfriend and two bands full of best friends that I knew I could trust with my life. I really had grown fond of Parkway Drive and I think I was growing on them, too. They were all going to California when this tour was over and I was going to miss them terribly, but they promised to visit when they played shows nearby and I promised to visit if I was ever managing a tour near them. It all seemed like everything was going to work out in my favor for a change.
"Anne, I need to talk to you." I heard the unmistakable voice of my older brother. At first I thought he was going to be mad about the bus getting here so late and us having to rush everything but when I turned around and saw his face I knew that this was a more personal matter than that. Maybe I spoke too soon about things going my why.
"Whats up?" I did my best to remain calm, not wanting to panic about anything until I knew what it was. Maybe it was something small, and I could fix it right now. But there was also option B where I was about to receive terrible news.
"I have to tell you something but you have to promise you wont panic." Of course that made me want to panic immediately. Apparently whatever Phil was about to tell me was going to go along the lines of option B.
"I'll do what I can." I said. My voice was shaky. I really needed to learn how to control that.
"Bring Me the Horizon is getting a month long tour extension. Oli can't comeback to Philly with you until after the New Year." He said.
He looked so sorry, like it was all his fault but I knew that wasn't the case. This wasn't his decision entirely and he had to do what was best for the company and the band. He needed to put them first this time, not me and my relationship with Oliver.
I swallowed hard, holding back tears as I answered, "Okay."
It was all I could manage to get out. Phil told me he was sorry about ten more times before walking out. I don't even know why he was here, they were on a day off, which they were supposed to spend in the last city. I didn't question it though, because he often went ahead of them to make arrangements days before hand so that things were in order.
When Oliver told me that he would get better, and come back to Philly with me I thought that was it. I thought that we would go back and live happily until another tour came along where I could manage them and everything would go back to the way it was before. But now, everything was going to fall apart again. He was staying here, in Europe, and I would go back to America. We just found each other and now we were going to be separated again.
Love isn't fair.
