Left For Dead

Shannon POV
So the end of Denver was weird, but we made through yet another venue, I woke up to my phone ringing. I groaned and pushed Leon off of the sofa to grab my phone. It was light outside so it looks like we fell asleep in the living area. I saw that it was a blocked number but thought nothing of it. I pressed the green answer button and raised the phone towards my ear. “Hello, this is Shannon, and why is your number blocked?” I sat forward on the sofa while Leon was staring at me from the floor intently. “Hey babe, it's Lauren”. That's when my happy spirits had been crushed into a million tiny pieces. My best friend. She left me without leaving not even a note. Her mum had to tell us where she was. “Why are you ringing me?” You could tell by my posture and my slightly raised voice that I wasn't in the mood to talk to her. “Just thought I would ring my best friend to catch up”, that's when I snapped. Leon knew what was going to happen, so he went to wake the girls up before I wake them up. “My best friend? That's strange because they are all here with me” she giggled and replied “no silly I'm talking about me”. I laughed sarcastically “you? My best friend?” Just as I had finished those few words I saw the band and Leon piling into the living area. Echo and Vanna sat down, vanna was trying to explain what happens when I am angry and stuff. Where as ally comes up to me and puts her hand on my shoulder and sits me down onto the sofa, Leon goes to the bunk areas I'm presuming to get changed. “YOU MY BEST FRIEND?” I screamed down the phone. “Yes, Lauren you WERE my best friend one of them, you were like my sister and your family was basically my family, but bestfriends at least tell their friends where they are going before they leave so they don't have to worry for multiple days before finding out from their fucking mum” I growled. “Aw you can still hold grudges” I heard her smiling through the phone. Wow this bitch has changed. “YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT ELS--” The next thing you know Echo comes over pulls the phone from my hand and ends the call. She smiled sadly at me “sorry I don't like seeing people mad” she shrugged, I smiled “thanks” I huffed and leaned back into the sofa. “So where are we today?” Leon said as he waltzed casually back into the room. Vanna stood up and shouted with her arms above her head “VIVA LAS VEGAS BABY” I smiled, all of them liked to drink, where as I don't because I become even more angrier than I already am. “Girls we are going to mix up the show a bit” I smiled, and walked into the bunk areas.
So I had just thrown the girls what they are going to be wearing today and they are scared about their tits falling out and shit. Fuck it, if they do that's more fans am I right? Our set was in 10 minutes and the stage was quite far away and fans were everywhere, so we all did what I did yesterday and wore a shirt over the bikini top until we reached the stage.
Eventually, after being stopped several times, and losing Ally, we reached the stage just on time to perform. We were about to go on when we heard a few voices behind us “break a leg” we turned around to see Jaime smirking straight at vanna, “oh no” we all mumbled. Next to him was Chris motionless, I had only talked to him once and that was at the party. I smiled to him and he mouthed good luck. I removed my shirt and all the girls followed my actions before I ran on stage and sat on my stool. When I run out people actually cheer quite loud, but everyone says I'm the weird one in the band so I guess it's cool. I have my signature neon green glow in the dark drumsticks and we begin our set.
It was all going well until I felt a bucket of water being thrown over me half way through. I carried on drumming but still looked around for the culprit, vanna was scowling off to the side, so I looked to where her eye contact was and she was glaring at a Jaime being dragged away by our tour manager and Mike whisper shouting at him. I shrugged it off, well at least I am wearing a bikini top.
When we left the stage, I felt a towel being thrown at me straight away so I caught it and looked up, I smiled and thanked Mike before all the other girls came running off the stage “I'm going to fucking kill him I swea--” vanna couldn't finish her sentence due to Echo interrupting “why did he throw it at Shannon and not at Vanna?” She squinted towards Mike. He giggled a bit and rubbed the back of his neck “he has a bad aim” I snorted “he must do” the girls had all got their shirts back over the, to cover their bikini tops, but I am wearing mine all day because it's fucking roasting. Next thing you know Chris motionless comes towards me and starts clapping “hey at least you guys kept playing when the hole titanic shit happened” we all smiled.
After the meet and greet and us talking to the bands for the rest of the day, me mostly talked more to motionless. We started to head back towards the busses, every band was planning to go out tonight. I mean it's Vegas right? But I thought I should just stay in and watch films with Leon.
Me and Leon were sitting on the sofa when the girls came in all dressed up, “are you sure you guys don't wanna come?” Vanna asked. We both nodded and continued to watch game of thrones. I heard my phone vibrate and remembered the Lauren incident earlier. I grumbled and reached over Leon's legs for my phone, it was a text from an unknown number. I opened it up and it was definitely not someone I thought it would be. “Hey it's Mike, you know Fuentes. I got your number from one of your band mates, sorry if that's weird” I smiled at the screen. Leon looked towards me “I swear you are bipolar as fuck” he said jokingly I laughed and slapped his leg, he made a gasping noise to fake being in pain and I focuses back on my phone “oh yeah it's fine, thanks for telling me who it is or I would've shat myself” as soon as I sent it I got a reply. I love people who instantly reply yaaaaaaas. “You coming out with everyone tonight?” I frowned “no I don't drink, so I'm staying in and watching tv with Leon” I sent the message and the next one I received made my day “wish you were going:(“ I started jumping up and down and showed Leon my phone. “Yeah ok, ok, calm down, yeah I know, calm down” he kept saying even though I was interrupting him between every word. This is the thing, people rush into things, I don't like the idea of that, I will meet up with them and have tiny I guess you could call them dates and then after like a month that is when my decision is made. The shortest amount of time it took me to make a decision is 2 weeks.
Let's see how this turns out.
Ally's POV
“So where exactly are we headed to again ?” I asked Kevin as I fixed my dress (___) and stepped into the limo that they had offered to us. “For the one hundredth time Ally it's MGM Grand. It's the new casino that just opened and we were all invited to go by our warped manager.” He said as we all sat down. “When we get there I want you guys to go and have fun. You all have been working so hard lately and you need some time to just let it loose and that time is tonight, so try and have fun.” He said to us.
**skip car ride**
“Well Ellie and I will go now, maybe by miracle we might win the lottery and become rich tonight.” He chuckled. “I'll meet you guys back at the bus by the morning.” And so with that he and Ellie left. “Great now what? I've never been in a casino before I don't know what to do.” I said as we stood there outside awkwardly. “I think the first thing we could do is go inside.” Echo giggled. “Good idea.”
As soon as we entered I could instantly feel the great energy of everything. With the loud music playing, so many people laughing, dancing, gambling, playing it felt great. We stood there for a good five minutes talking for a bit before the boys from All Time Low came up to us.
“Guess who?” Alex asked as he put his hands to cover Echo’s eyes. “Alex?” She laughed while taking his hands off her face to look at him. “Where's curious George ?” Asked a very drunk Jack while stepping in front of Vanna and I. “What ?” We both said at the same time laughing. “Just ignore him.” Zack said trying moving Jack out of the way. “It's only been his fourth drink I have no idea how he got drunk this fast.” He said laughing at Jack who at the moment was trying to take his shoe off. “I'll see you guys guys later I'm on Jack duty right now!” Zack said while running off to get caught up with Jack who ran off.
“Well okay if I'm going to ‘let it loose’ I'm going to get a drink too.” Vanna said quoting Kevin from earlier. When we looked over the bar we could see some band members sitting by there but who stood out the most was Jaime who at the moment was trying to chug down a bottle full of probably beer.
“Uhm are you sure you want to go over there by yourself?” I asked remembering clearly that she and Jaime can't be near each other without trying to slaughter the other. “Yeah I think I'll be fine, but if he says anything stupid I won't resist to punch him.” She said. “Alright then.” I said laughing.
I turned back to Echo and Alex and overheard them having some weird conversation about Pirates and so I decided to leave the two of them by their own and with that I left.
**30 minutes later**
I was currently sitting with Kellin and Gabe from Sleeping with Sirens and the Fuentes brothers, Mike and Vic.
“Well you can just get on a water slide from a pool, jump on it and it'll lead to a beach. There you go, boom!” Gabe yelled to Mike as he took another sip from his beer bottle and stood up to go ‘dance’ really weirdly. I honestly had no idea what he and Mike were talking about, all I knew is that they were both pretty drunk.
“Whatever. I win anyways.” Mike said as he took his phone out. Kellin, Vic and I just exchanged weird glances and shrugged, Oh well.
“So how's warped so far Ally? Have you met anyone you're interested in yet?” Vic asked while trying to wink but failed miserably. I noticed Kellin shot his head up to look at me. “I love it! And yes I think I did but he's really not interested in me and I'm not interested in being in a relationship or anything like that the moment.” I said and Kellin then looked down at the floor. What was going on with him? Should I ask him ?
“Guys should I call Shannon ?” Mike interrupted my thoughts as he pulled up a chair next to me. “Aww my little bro has a crush” Vic teased him. “-do not!” Mike said and crossed his arm like a little kid. “Hey Is that Shannon over there ?” Vic asked and pointed behind him. Mike then fell off his chair while trying to turn back. “Abort mission, she's seen me!” Mike yelled dramatically drawing attention to our table making everyone laugh around us and with that the he ran off.
“I'm never going out to drink with him ever again. That's for sure.” Vic said laughing.
We then carried out with our conversation from earlier before. I then received a text form Vanna.
Vivi: Came top my weddkng everyyone!!!’n
Ally: What ?
I set my phone down, the girl was probably drunk. So I decided to just let her be.
But the intercom over the casino then rang getting everyone's attention. “Everyone please come and and join the stage to welcome our new wedding couple!!” The speaker said into the microphone.
“What's going on ?” Kellin asked. “Looks like a wedding in Vegas.” Vic said happily as he took a sip of his beer. “Let's go see it.” He said.
As we came closer and closer a familiar blue haired girl came to view. Vanna. Wait What!?
“Is that Jaime? Oh god what is he doing!?” Vic asked as we sprint closer to them.
“Do you Jaymie take Vanessa as your bride ?” The speaker or in those case preacher asked Jaime clearly saying both their names wrong. This was obviously too much to process at the moment because we knew they both hated each other and now all of the sudden they're together. As they kept talking we stood there and watched.
“Yess-sir.” He slurred into the microphone. While trying to put a ring on Vanna's hand and dropping it. “Oops” he said laughing and picked it up.
“And do you Vanessa take Jaymie as your husband ?” He asked her.
“Noooo! Kidding! Yes I fucking do!” She said laughing uncontrollably.
“I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride.”
Jaime then picked Vanna up bridal style and kissed her as he tried walking down the steps from the stage and falling a few times. The crowd then erupted into cheering and loud screaming which prevented us from catching up to them with everyone in the way and with that they left. “What are we going to do!?” Vic asked frantically. “He can't get married yet, not now!”
“I need to find Echo and Kevin, you guys go look for Jaime and Vivi.” I told them. “Okay I'll call you as soon as we find them.” Kellin said to me. As we were getting to go off in our separate ways, Mikey went up to the microphone.
“Alright-Alright!! Everyone wait!!! Who stole my fucking cellphone?!” He yelled into it putting his hands on his waist. “Unbelievable, I cannot believe this! Everyone empty your pockets now!” He ordered. “One of you have it!” He said and pointed at us. Mike’s face then started turning pale and he put his hand up to his mouth and puked all over the stage. Yells then came from the crowd complaining about the puking disaster that just happened. We then ran upstage to get him. He put his hands on his front pocket and pulled out his cellphone realizing he had it in his pocket this whole time. “Oh this is embarrassing.” And with that he fell to ground.
**15 minutes later**
We had finally found Echo and Kevin but Vanna and Jaime were nowhere to be seen. We were standing outside in the cold windy night getting lectured once again by Kevin. “This is not what I meant by having fun, what do you mean Vanna got married ?!” Kevin asked. “Call her again please.” Echo then pulled out her phone and called her again.
She answered and Echo put her on speaker. “Heyyy mom!” Vanna answered into the phone. “Hey V, it's Echo where the hell are you ?” She asked desperately trying to get an answer from her. “I do not know” she said laughing. “Can you please just come back to the casino please or go back to the bus.” Echo said. “Sure thing mom but I gotta go pick out the flowers now, goodbyee mom tell dad I said hi!” And with that she hung up. I then looked at Echo who had made a funny face and I honestly couldn't help but laugh, even if it was an inappropriate time to laugh it kinda was funny to see all of this happen tonight.
Echo then joined me which earned us getting a death glare from Kevin.
“Well what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right ?” I said trying to lighten up the mood.
