"Please come to the bond fire sunday." Leo pouted, leaning into my bunk further.

"No, he'll be there! I've avoided him this long..." I turned my head away.

"I thought you said you could be around him?" Brandon leaned down.

I smiled. "Hey Hoover."

"Come out of your bunk, lets walk the grounds." He held his hand out. I took it.

"Is there a specific reason why?" I intertwined our fingers as he led me away.

"Because there are fans out there. You love fans. They always cheer you up. I can tell you're a lil down." He poked my cheek.

We walked around to one of the gates that led to the public space. A bunch of band guys gathered at it.

"Hey guys." I caught their attention.

"Hey, Maddie." Austin from om&m smiled. "Wanna do a run?"

"You should! First warped, you need to." Michael from issues said.

"What's a run?" I approached them.

Tyler held up a map of the venue. "You pick somewhere busy and you run through it without getting swarmed or stopped once. You have to get to one of the check points and back."

"Usually bigger bands do it, but lately you've been getting tons of recognition, so it should work." Austin said. "Just pick one and go. You can take the map if you want."

Tyler handed it to me and I smiled, picking one and saluting, jogging out.

I didn't realize how fun it was running from people yelling your name.

I laughed and waved and blew kisses at anyone who noticed me. Some people looked shocked, some people followed because others were. I grabbed some hands but wasn't stopped.

The checkpoint was the 'to write love on her arms booth. I took a second to catch my breath before turning and running in the same step. As I did I crashed into someone.

"S-Sorry." Alex said.

"You got stopped, didn't you?" Tyler laughed.

"You could say so." I gave a weak smile, handing back the map.

"How fast did you run? You're practically hyperventilating." Brandon had concern in his eyes.

"Let's... Let's just get out of here. What's going on at your bus?"

"We can hang out there if you'd like. C'mon." He turned but I pulled him back and pressed my lips to his. He smiled, the boys hollered, and Alex still lingered in the back of my mind.
