expectations.

“Thank you again for letting me use the crew bathroom.” Presley says to Sage, Colten’s sister. Colt had first introduced the two while showing her some of the newer bands at Warped. Turns out not only was his sister a part of the tour, she was apart of the sound team that had made her show tonight possible. The two had hit it off instantly and had quickly come inseparable.

“It’s no problem, babe. I know how hard it is to get ready in a van.” They proceed to get ready for a few minutes and they look at each other in surprise when Sage’s music dock switches from The Diary by Hollywood Undead to One Hundred Sleepless Nights by Pierce The Veil.

“I thought you two pretty ladies should listen to some decent music while you got ready.” Vic says as he walks up behind Sage, snaking his arms around her waist. Sage just smiles and gently blushes as he kisses her cheek sweetly.

“I didn’t know you knew Presley, babe.” Sage nods, moving to sit on the counter of the venue restroom.

“Colten introduced me to her. She’s pretty amazing, right?” Vic laughs before kissing her again and Pres looks away, unsure of what to do.

“I’ve gotta go but just remember to save me a dance tonight, okay?” Sage giggles and slides off the counter.

“No promises! You know how I get when a club has jello shots!” Sage and Presley look at each other and crack up.

“You and Vic, huh?” Sage’s blush deepens as she nods. “Yeah. Well, sort of. We’re not official official but we’re together enough that he would be hella pissed if I slept with somebody else.”

“Oh so you’re sleeping together currently?” Presley asks teasingly as she wraps her hair around the curling wand.

Sage doesn’t answer just lets a small smile slip onto her face. “Oh my god, you are!” She sets down the hot curling tool and hops onto the counter. “For the sake of a fangirl, you have to tell me - is he good in bed?”

Sage bits her lip and nods, three jerky little motions.

Presley laughs at her awkwardness. “It’s fine, S. Now, let’s get hot as hell for a night at the club!” She boosts both hands in the air in a sort of woot-woot-raise-the-roof motion. Sage bursts into another fit of giggles before picking out which eyeshadow to use.

“Hey, Pres!” Jack Fowler (Sleeping With Sirens) yells over the music blaring in the front of the club. “Alan and Ben and Austin and the rest of the guys are in the back.”

“VIP section?” She questions and he nods, laughing.

“Only the best for us, baby!”

She waves goodbye and weaves her way through the crowded club, giving a ‘sup’ nod and a hug to all the band guys she sees on her way.

She walks into the back where all the guys are and immediately starts laughing. Jaime Preciado (Pierce The Veil) is attempting to teach Jeremy (A Day To Remember) how to twerk. They all turn to and look her up and down. They all seem, dare she say, impressed?

Two rather large hands wrap around her waist and turn her around. “Hey, Princess.” “Ben!” She exclaims, throwing her hands around his neck.

“Where have you been hiding out at?” She asks and he shrugs, grinning. “Here and there. But I did take time out of my oh-so-busy schedule to watch you play and you were fucking amazing!” She smiles widely at his praise.

“So what do you say I get you a drink?” He gives her his hand to take and they walk arm in arm towards the busy bar.

“To that I say ‘Hell yeah!’ But there is no way I’m getting as trashed as I did last night.” They both laugh as he hands her a Jello shot. The fruity taste reminds her of Sage’s comment about Jello shots from earlier and she grabs another one before turning to Ben.

“I’m gonna go take this to my friend, Sage.”

“Vic’s girl?” He questions.

She nods and he grabs her wrist before she can leave. “Just remember to save me a dance later, yeah?” She smiles and nods again before going off to find Sage.

She gets halfway around the large room before a pair of hands grasp her sides and tickles her, making her drop the Jello.

“Dammit, Colten! You scared me!” He laughs and his glazed over eyes reflect from the club lights.

“My bad, Beautiful. You look especially sexy tonight.” She backs away a bit, eyebrows raised.

“Are you high or what?”

“High on life, you mean. But I mean if you want to leave with me and get high on something else I’m totally down for that.”

She rolls her eyes. “Okay, whatever drugs you took kind of make you an ass so I’m gonna go.” His smirk falls and he grabs her wrist like Ben had earlier, but this time without the gentleness.

“Don’t leave yet. I wanna dance.”

“Colten, let go.” He ignores her, just wraps his arms around her waist. “Colt, you’re scaring me!” His hands move lower and she slaps him across the face. He stumbles back a bit.

His brown eyes clear a little and he shakes his head back and forth. “I’m sorry, Pres. I didn’t mean to-” “Save it,” she interrupts, “I’m gonna go find your sister. I suggest you go home.”

She skirts around him, aiming to go find someone, anyone but Colt or Elliott. As she turns around the corner of a booth she finds a scene similar to the one she had found Elliott in this morning, except this was a lot steamier.

Alan’s hands grope the blonde’s ass and she pushes him back further into the wall of the somewhat private booth.

Oh.

She backs away but runs into someone.

“I’m so sorr- Oh. Hey, Austin.” His sad brown eyes look down at her before flicking to Alan and the blonde.

“I take it you saw that, huh?” She nods and he leads her towards the VIP section again. “I know what will make you feel better.”

An hour and a half later Presley is practically falling to the floor in laughter as she watches Sage give Austin a lap dance. Oh, the fun of Truth or Dare. They had all left the club and were hanging out at the Of Mice bus.

Vic glares at the pair and grabs Sage and guides her towards the back of the bus as soon as the dare is over.

“I think we all know what’s going down for Victor tonight.” Rian (All Time Low) jokes and everyone laughs.

“More like what’s going down on Victor.” Pres corrects and the bus bursts into giggles again.

The door to the bus slings open and a panicked Hayden comes to the front where Pres and the guys were all chilling in random spots.

“P, I’ve got some bad news.” She gives him a panicked look and he responds by shoving his phone in her face.

“Oh shit.” Is all she can say.
