Who Can Save Me Now?

Andy looked at me apologetically before answering. “Hello?”

What the hell was I thinking? Andy wouldn’t kiss me! He had Juliet! She’s ten times better than me! I could never compete with a girl like her. Andy would never go for a girl like me. “Yeah, bye I guess.” Andy hung up and looked at me my eyes glued to the floor. “I’m sorry about that, Tori. I really am.” He spoke. I shook my head and waved it off.

“No, it’s fine. It’s just I forgot about her.” I stood up. “I should leave, I don’t want to burden you anymore.” I walked back to the front lounge and out the bus door, Andy didn’t follow. I was happy he didn’t follow, but at the same time, I wanted him to follow me and assure me that everything was fine. I got on my bus, seeing the band sitting around and talking. I sat next to Lu-Lu and saw Grant looking at me. He took his phone out and began texting, my phone ringing a few seconds later.

Grant <3: You okay?

I texted back that I was fine, that I was just a bit tired from the movie I had seen.

Grant <3: If you say so. I’m here for you, we all are.

I smiled at him and turned to the guys, talking about the songs we were going to perform tomorrow and about the meet and greet times. After a few hours, we called it a night and I got in my bunk, laying on my side and looking out the window. I heard my curtain get pulled back and I turned my head, Grant getting inside and pushing me over a bit so he can close the curtain.

“Wanna talk?” He asked. I sighed and shook my head, resting it on his arm as he wrapped it around my shoulder. “I’m here for you.” He whispered. I nodded and closed my eyes, falling asleep.

I woke up to Grant gone, but Alyssa grunted before a squeal escaped her lips and a thud was heard.

“Thanks for the peep show.” I could hear Ben smile at her.

“Prick.” Alyssa laughed and Ben did too. I opened the curtain, seeing Alyssa in a regular T-shirt and jeans. I smiled and took my clothes out, Ben sitting across from me.

“Haven’t you ever wanted to just turn into a fly and buzz around and spy on people?” He asked.

“I would kill you if you were a fly.” Grant called from the front, Lu-Lu laughing.

“Shut up! I wasn’t talking to you.” Ben yelled back and Alyssa laughed.

“Yeah, it would be cool.” She shrugged.

“But what or who would you spy on?” I asked, slightly confused.

“You’re significant other, you could get into concerts for free, or simply fly around and enjoy the day.” Ben grinned.

“Until you crash into a windshield and the idiot driver turns on his windshield wipers and you die from the force and intensity of it.” Alyssa smiled at Ben. He stayed quiet as I pushed my bag of clothes under my bunk and he sighed.

“Mood killer.” He grumbled. I laughed and Alyssa and Ben walked to the front while I got changed. We sat around in the front, watching TV and talking until we got a call from our driver that sound check was going to start.

We all got to the venue, each of us getting in our places and practiced a few song intros and going over what we were going to do before we headed backstage. Andy and his band were doing their make-up, being the first ones to go on and open up.

“Hey Vic, think we should do Love Like War?” Alex asked Vic. He turned to him and smiled.

“Only if Tori agrees to sing Hold on Till May with us.” I agreed and after a while later, Black Veil Brides was called out. We sat around in the back, talking and telling jokes while All Time Low had their meet and greet. When they went up to perform, we had our meet and greet and it still surprised me how many teens wanted to meet us.

Alyssa was smiling at all of them, accepting hugs and getting cards from many fans. She even accepted a bouquet of flowers on of her male fans gave her with a necklace.

Ben accepted every ask he got about taking a picture with them. He hugged all of them, even if they didn’t ask. He got proposed by a girl and made her cry when he had her sit on his lap for the rest of the time.

Lu-Lu made funny faces at all the kids who were in line, laughing at the ones who returned them and took pictures with the kids in front of her.

Grant hugged them all, accepting our CD to have us sign it and posters.

I smiled at the kids, them telling me about everything wrong in their life and I could only nod and let them know that in the end, everything was going to be fine.

Once our greet was done, we joined the other bands and I got stuck sitting next to Andy. He smiled at me and I returned it but I still knew that liking him would be useless. When Pierce the Veil was up, I got my personal microphone, taped with characters from every Tim Burton character a fan had given me. I waited for my queue and when it was finally given, I walked out and joined Vic. The fans screamed and I smiled at them, beginning my small solo.

“If you were me you’d do the same
‘Cause I can’t take anymore
I’ll draw the shades and close the door
Everything’s not alright
‘Cause I would rather…”

Vic did a little dance, me kissing his cheek and I smiled at the crowd, walking off after grinning at Jaime and Mike and patting Tony’s back. I walked back stage and when PTV was done, Mice started getting ready, them going on after us. Alyssa walked back to the changing room, changing into her Issues muscle shirt that showed off her colorful arms and sides, not to mention the neon green sports bra she had on. She walked back out, sitting next to Lu-Lu who began tracing her tattoos as she pushed her red bangs back into place.

We got the two minute warning, Alyssa, Grant and Ben doing their traditional back flips as Lu-Lu and I stretched. We huddled in a circle and Grant began talking. “Alright, we’re gonna kick ass tonight so hard, the kids are going to be sleeping by the time Mice go out. Let’s rock, scream, sing and drum as hard as we can.” He agreed and we began getting ready. Grant patted my back, smiling at me and I hugged him, pulling away and jumping up and down.

The lights dimmed and Lu-Lu grabbed her guitar running out and jumping, the crowd screaming. Grant was right behind her, waving at the group before Ben walked out, smiling and getting into place. Alyssa stood next to me, the two of us watching the fans scream until they became silent.

“I bet they scream more for you than me.” I turned to her.

“Yeah right, you’re the lead.” She smirked at me and I smiled at her.

“Care to bet?” I asked. She nodded and we shook on it.

“If I win, you have to drum one song and sing too.” She grinned.

“And if I win, you have to go out and crowd surf on the duck.” I smiled. We had an inflatable duck and Alyssa looked over at it, seeing it deflated and thought about it.

“You’re on.” She laughed as we shook on it again. She grabbed her sticks from the chair, Austin sneaking in a kiss on her cheek which she punched his shoulder and cursed him out for. I laughed, seeing her grumble curses before walking out. The venue screamed and she waved, standing on her stool before sitting down. I watched as Lu-Lu shushed the crowd. I stood aside, looking at the crowd from the back and sighed.

“Go kick ass.” Andy whispered behind me. I looked at him and nodded, walking forward. The crowd screamed, just as Alyssa hit her sticks on the cymbals and swore. I laughed at her and explained the bet to the fans.

We sang our hearts out. Alyssa going out on the duck and began crowd surfing. Lu-Lu ran out to the edge of the stage, jumping to the crowd while doing her guitar solo and never once missing a beat. I sang my heart out, Ben singing with me as Grant screamed his last note. Alyssa made it back on stage and we waved goodbye.

“Good job guys, the kids probably left before they could hear us.” Alan joked with us as we went back to change out of our sweaty clothes. Once back with the group, we watched Mice perform before heading back out to our buses, getting a night full of sleep before our next concert the next day.
