Left For Dead

Vanna-
*click*
I smile at Jaime and look at the picture that showed in my screen. I showed Jaime and he nods, approving of our official announcement to the public. Sure people knew we were married but we decided to act not married and basically go to the first step, yet still wearing our wedding rings. Make sense?
Having a cool afternoon with ( one of ) my favorite human @ptvjaime.
I post it on instagram and hand Jaime my phone as my dress had no pockets what's so ever. We walk hand in hand through the buses and back to the stages where we wanted to go catch a band with my name, Vanna. That would be an awkward meeting, in my personal opinion. Once we got to the side stage, they were barely going on stage. I was always happy to figure any music no matter how old the band will be or how new they are to the scene. Like the saying says treat people like you want to be treated, I sure do want other people to come see my band as well, besides, we all have each other support. They were great, they were pretty hardcore, but overall great. They knew how to get the fans moving and creating circle pits and everything. I found myself slightly head banging while Jaime recorded them with his phone. Soon their set was finished and I step to the side as they ran by us.
“enjoyed?” The singer asked us. I nod, and smile. “What's your name?”
“Vanna, but they call me Vivi.” He chuckles as he gets the whole Vanna thing. “You guys are great, totally have gained a new fan.”
“Why thanks, Vivi. It means a lot to us. You play?”
“Guitarist.” Jaime squeezes my hand as he recalls our first encounter. Oh, he is so lucky I'm starting to care for him
“Nice, well we should hang out, Vanna. It was nice meeting you, see you Jaime.” Jaime waves and I turn to him with my eyebrows in surprise.
“you know them?”
“they're nice dudes. Talked to them once or twice.” I roll my eyes and we make our way to another set.
“Babe, what if I got a tattoo?” I asked him as we continued to walk.
“What made you think?”
“Echo got one, it super pretty, and totally fits her. I thought about it and I'm pretty sure I want one, but I don't know what.”
“well think of a design and I'll take you when we go back home.” he wraps his around around my shoulder, plants a kiss on my head, and I knew our small conversation was over.

“I'm really craving Chinese food.” I complain to Ally as we walked around the lonely streets. We were bored out of our mind and we started to walk out the arena and into the streets. We were looking back, as if we were leaving little bread crumbs to get back.
“Vanna, do you ever think about something else that isn't food?”
“Ally. Are you really asking??” I look at her and smiled, she just chuckles, shaking her head in disappointment. “come on! I know you want some too!” Ally sighs in defeat and nods. I jump in accomplishment and we walk inside the nearest Panda Express.
We ordered our food and sat in the furthest table there was and ate, asking some juicy information about each other.
“Me and Jaime made it 108% official today” I inform her as I took a forkful of orange chicken. Her eyes go wide, and claps softly, trying not to get attention from any one around us, cause my hair was already attracting too much of it. “I know. But I hope it lasts.”
“and the divorce?”
“we shall see.” internally I wanted that divorce so If he was THE ONE, we would get married the right way, but we will never really know. At least for now. We finished our plates and began to walk outside the restaurant.
“Vanna, what time is it?” I look around my body, and cursed. Jaime still had my phone.
“Jaime has my phone.” She sighs and looks at her phone, making her eyes go wide. “what?”
“what time was bus call?”
“I think like 9… why?”
“Vivi… its 10.” we looked at each other for a split second before we sprint towards the venue. We didn't bother the cars, the traffic lights, we just hoped they were still there. My dress bounced along with my running, so running with your arms down wasn't the best thing to do right now, but I ain't showing my body off to just any body. We arrived to the arena and continued to run towards the bus area. We stop and tried to catch our breaths before looking at the empty parking lot.
“Fuck”

Ally's POV
“Fuck” Vanna says out of breath as we looked around the RV parking lot. “They left us. How can they even leave us without knowing ?” Vanna asked pacing around. I shrugged and pulled out my phone from my back pocket. I quickly scrolled through my contact list looking for Shannon’s name, I found it and rang her. It was ringing and then right in the moment when I heard the faint sound of ‘Hello’ it turned off. “Dang it! It's off, I didn't have any battery anymore.” I said putting my phone down and looking at her in despair. “I don't have mine.” She said groaning while kicking a rock that was near us.
“Wait look right there!” She said pointing towards a public pay-phone near where we were. We quickly and carefully jogged to it making sure Vanna wouldn't show anything given she was wearing a dress at the moment. “Do you have any money on you ?” I asked checking my pockets for any leftover money from earlier. “No I spent it all on that shrimp earlier.” She said holding both sides of her head. “Vivi I told you to save that extra money for later!” I said desperately while sitting back down. “Hey don't look at me like that, you know you liked that food too.” She said holding her hands up in defense while sitting down next to me.
“Maybe they'll remember us and come back.” I said optimistically, playing with the dirt around us. We had been sitting down for the past probably two hours and nothing had happened yet. “Hmm I don't think so and even when they did they wouldn't find out until tomorrow morning by the time they arrived to the next venue.” She said while sitting back up. I laid back down in the grass around me and looked up at the sky. I thought maybe Vivi was right. Kevin was sleeping when we left so he didn't know we were gone, Shannon was with Mike and nothing goes through her mind when she's with him so obviously she wouldn't notice our absence yet and Echo, she had recently just gotten a new tattoo and well she was probably in her own little world and probably wouldn't notice either. “Great we're totally screwed now.” I said while thinking through it.
We sat there for the rest of time, talking about the first time her and I met back in kindergarten and how we became best friends on the first day just because we were both wearing the same ‘Cookie Monster’ shirt and also wearing the same purple light up shoes. And a few years later Shannon came along. Who'd have known ? Fifteen years later and we were still close now more than ever, of course Echo had join us now and I have feeling that maybe in about fifteen years more we are still going to be like we are now, inseparable. We became more and more tired, afraid to fall asleep and have some creepy old guy come to us while we sleep but with the show and everything we did earlier in the day, tiredness took over us and we decided to sleep for a bit. I took off the black jacket I was wearing that I had stole from Shannon earlier when she wasn't looking since it had been getting kind of cold at night and put it around us to make sure we were covered, and we that we fell asleep.
**few hours later**
“Ally c’mon wake up” Someone said, shaking me awake. “Are you guys okay ? Damn how long have you guys been sleeping here ?” Shannon said while trying to shake Vanna awake with Jaime on her side. “What time is it ?” I asked, yawning. “It's four in the morning.” Tony answered from the side. I looked up trying to adjust to the light from Mike’s phone to see all the guys from PTV, Shannon and Kevin standing in front of us with worried faces. “Ahh the light!” Vanna exclaimed while covering her eyes making everyone ‘shh’ her. “Sorry about that.” Mike said slightly laughing at her response to it. Echo then ran up to us from the bus door and hugged the both of us, “I thought something had happened to you girls.” She said. “Nope we're okay.” Vanna said chuckling while trying to stand up. “But couldn't you guys have arrived earlier ?” She said walking up to Jaime who had a blanket on his arm, probably for Vanna. “You guys had us so worried.” Kevin said giving us the ‘dad’ look again. “I'm sorry, we were hungry.” I said looking down, remembering how we went out to eat which began this whole thing. They chuckled at us, while beginning to walk back to the bus. “C’mon you guys need to get some sleep for your show at noon.” Kevin said.
Vic then came to my side, helped me up and walked me back to the bus. “I told Kellin what happened. He wanted to come look for you but his manager didn't let him, said he needed to get some rest for his show also but I don't think he got any knowing you were out missing.” He said leading me back with the rest of them. “Well Thank you, I'll text him when I get inside.” I said, smiling and giving him a small hug. “Goodnight Ally and don't go off anymore without telling us first.” He said chuckling as he ruffled my hair. “Tell that to Vivi.” I said giggling. “Goodnight!” I said while walking inside our bus. I noticed Kevin and Echo had gone back to sleep, Shannon and Mike were in our small kitchen talking and eating while Jaime had decided to stay with Vanna for the rest of the night so they went to sleep in the back lounge since there was more space for them there. I went to the bathroom and looked at my reflection, my hair was a mess and I had dark circles around my eyes, I'm surprised they didn't mistake me with a raccoon. I giggled at the thought and washed my face. When I finished I slowly made my way through the bunk area until I reached mine towards the end, I pulled out my phone and texted Kellin to let him know they found us and that I was back in the bus. “What a night we had.” I say to myself knowing no one was listening to me. I put my music on and stared at my bunk wall while slowly beginning to close my eyes and falling asleep.

Have fun
