Both Sides of the story (Jordan Eckes)

Chapter 2

It was finally the day before Warped Tour officially started. Yesterday,  we flew over to Texas last night and got here really early in the morning. There was a van picking us up in the front of the airport, so we grabbed our bags/ equipment and stuffed it all in the back. This was gonna be one of the best summers of our lives.  Especially since the lineup was absolutely on point. I'm really excited to get to do what I love with the people I love.

"Hey Riley, we're at the hotel", Hunter shook me back to life.

There were buses everywhere. Some bands were already packing some of their stuff in the trailers for tomorrow, so we ended up doing the same. Instead of helping, I just looked around the bus filled parking lot. It was mostly empty except for some guitar cases sitting next to the trailer and two guys carrying them.

"Thanks for the help Riley. We highly appreciate it", Hunter said while wiping his forehead with the back of his hand.

"That's what I'm here for", I pat his back and grab my little backpack.

The others are already in the hotel, running to grab the elevator. Fortunately, the people inside held the door for us. The elevator was definitely not big enough to fit this many people. Alec presses the button to bring us to the 6th level.

It takes a little more time to get to the 6th floor than I thought it would. The doors instantly opened up and Hunter was the first to run out of the compact little area. You can see the sweat dripping from the little strand of hair that is sticking out of his snapback.

"Hey bro,  you good", Dustin handed Hunter a bottle of water to cool down.

"Yea I'm good, let's just get to our room

I'm exhausted", Hunter dragged his bag along the carpet floor.

I heard that we were set up in alphabetical order so in the room across from us has to be, This Wild Life. Asher and I have this really huge obsession with This Wild Life, so we are praying that they are on hotel neighbors. If that's even a thing.

It also means that We are the In Crowd should not be too far from our room.  That would also be a problem because the whole band is basically in love with them.  We all met at a WATIC concert a couple years back. Thanks to them that we are even a band that will be touring on Warped tour!!!

"Kevin Lyman is holding a little pre warped party tonight, so get your pretty little asses ready", I grab some denim shorts and grab my favorite Late Nite Reading tank top. I didn't want to do anything to big so I grabbed a little hair band and threw my hand into a ponytail.

  The Boys dressed up into khaki shorts and different colored button ups. I feel so under dressed standing next to them. Oh well, I'll make it work. I always do.

-----------------------------------------------------

  It's been an hour since we just arrived to the hotel. Since we had a good half hour to waste we just walked around the whole hotel and see if we reconize anyone. Ya know because we are all huge fangirls, or in this case one fangirl and four fanboys.

   When we got to the lobby, there were more people then there was before. The couches in the corner were piled up with bags and suitcases. It was complete madness.

"Um Riley.. don't panic. Look to your right", Alec Pointed to the right. ALL the boys looked like they were about to explode.

  Standing to the right in all their glory,  was the most amazing band in the whole world. Jordan Eckes, Tay Jardine,  Rob Chianelli,  Cameron Hurley,  and Mike Ferri from We Are the In Crowd. 

  Out of all the years I would dance around in my room and spend money on seeing them live, I finally might get to meet my favorite band. Of course, Jordan looked like he just visited from heaven itself.

"Riley they're coming", Alec pulled my arm in the opposite direction.

I couldn't move a muscle, even if I did it would be too late. Standing infront of me was Jordan Eckes and Mike Ferri.

"Hey you're Riley Miller, right?", Mike said.

Jordan stood there with his little lop sided smirk like the angel he is.

"Uh yea, you're Mike Ferri", I nervously pointed out.

"Well that Is the name on my birth certificate", I turned around to try to find anyone who will save me from embarrassing myself even more, but of course no one was there.

"Hey I'm Jordan", he held his hand out and I quickly took it. I mean it is Jordan eckes.

"RILEY COME HERE!" Paul pulled me over to another group of people and introduced me.

"Duty calls", I said goodbye to Mike and Jordan then went over to Paul.

"Looked like you were dying over there" nudged Paul.

"First time meeting Mike and Jordan from her favorite band. Of course she was dying", Bert wrapped his armed around my shoulder.

 A couple people came around the group and talked to each other, while I zoned out. There wasn't really anyone I reconized, other than Paul, Bert, and Tyler Carter. It was hard not to focus on Tyler, he dyed his hair a pastel purple color. You couldn't miss it, even from a mile away.

Behind Tyler, I saw Jordan and Tay talking to Nick Santino and Sydney from Echosmith. Jordan was looking incredibly cute and it was hard keeping your eyes off of him. He wore this dark blue button up and khakis, with grey vans and the usual snapback sitting perfectly on his head. I cant believe that I didn't notice it when I talked to them, but I was too caught up with making fun of myself to actually care.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Party was not as eventful as everyone thought it was. A few people stumbled out of the dining hall with assistance from their friends. It was quite funny when Asher thought that there was a time bomb in the elevator. In all reality, it was just the beeping sound letting us know what floor we were on. I had to room with Dustin for the night which is the worst thing you can ever do to someone. Dustin has a problem with sleepwalking. One night Dustin slept in the same room as me and Hunter, and in the middle of the night, Dustin woke up, went to the kitchen, and started eating this really hot, hot sauce that I use for my buffalo wing recipe. It was so spicy, that he ended screaming and sticking his head under the faucet in the kitchen sink.  At least in a hotel room, there wasn't much to make a mess of.
