Feel My Bones Ignite

⊗Kat⊗

"Fuck off," I groaned, shutting my eyes as I felt tugging at my shoulder.

"Sorry babe, we have soundcheck in an hour, let's go," The voice, which I immediately recognized as Olivia's spoke. I jumped down from my bunk and I pulled on a pair of maroon skinnies, a ghost town shirt and maroon vans. It's been about 3 days since tour started. Today was our first soundcheck. I walked into the bathroom and I applied moisturizer and primer before starting with dark eyeshadow. I applied black mascara, winged eyeliner and I did my eyeliner. I put on foundation, bronzer, and some light blush. I straightened my hair and brushed my teeth but putting on maroon lip gloss. I put in my contacts.

"Kat? You almost ready?" I heard our tour manager call.

"Two seconds," I called back and I put in my white gauges, black tongue ring and a black nose ring. I grabbed my phone before leaving the bus. I got to the stage and met with the other band members. Everyone took their positions, Jesse on guitar, Chase on bass and Olivia on drums. I stood at the front-center mic. I turned to take a look at each of my band mates who gave me a nod to indicate they were ready. I looked to my right and saw Calum and Michael. I smiled while Calum nodded at me. I turned to face a crowd of fans who came to watch the soundcheck.

"Hey guys. So we're Stay Awake. I'm Kat, I play lead guitar, that's Jesse on Guitar, Chase on bass and Olivia on drums. This is our first soundcheck, I hope you guys enjoy what we play."

~A Few Hours Later~

It was finally time for the show. I was so excited. I showered and I changed into a pair of black skinnies, self-ripped at the knees, a black Motionless In White tank top which had the skull hand with the middle finger sticking up on it, and my black vans. My make-up was still the same, Oli braided my hair and we dyed it pastel blue, pink, purple and green. I was basically a unicorn.

"Kat!" Mimi, my tour manager called out.

"I'm coming!" I got off the bus and walked to the venue.

"Kat!" Jesse yelled my name to which I then ran in his direction. I could hear the screams from outside. We sat backstage for a couple minutes as we tuned our instruments before they told us to go on stage. I stood at the center mic and I looked at each of band mates who nodded at me to indicate that they were ready. I looked to my right where I saw the 5sos boys. Luke looked shocked as hell, he really wasn't expecting this, Calum nodded at me to which I grinned and I turned to face the crowd.

"Hey guys, we're Stay Awake, we're gonna play some music for you guys, I hope you enjoy it." I looked at Jesse with a signaling nod before we both played the intro to Guts in unison.

Shooting for the stars

Desperately reaching

For something in the dark

Pictures of memories

Buried in my heart

Lie awake and dream of

The endless possibilities

Catch my breath and go for it

Take apart

Everything that's

Holding me down

Make a point

To pick a new direction

To make a new connection

Is this what it feels like?

Finding out

That I've got the guts

To say anything

Feels like

Breaking out
