Chapter 5

            The sun was on my face and I was still in Alex's arms. I didn't move once. Although it was conferrable, I was really stiff. I slowly slipped his arms off of me and I sat up. I stretched out my arms and stood up. I almost lost my balance but I caught myself on the table. I popped my back and wiggled my legs to get them woken up. I walked back to our bunk and I pulled out my day bag. I grabbed my pill box and took it to the bathroom. I got my water bottle out of the fridge and I dumped the handful of pills into my mouth. I downed them with my water and I put everything back.

            I looked to see when we where going to stay at a hotel and luckily enough tomorrow. Even though I was only on tour for about two days, I wanted a shower. But everyone else deserves one more than I do. I was raised to be very sanitary, so not showering two days is a big step for me. Luckily we have boxes upon boxes of baby wipes. Someone was moving around the back lunge and I watched as Kaity walked out all dressed and ready for the day.

            "Good morning Abby." She said in a sing song voice.

            "Morning." I replied with a smile.

            "So how was dinner?" she asked leaning up against the bathroom door.

My smile got even bigger. "It was amazing! We talked, ate, danced and kissed."

            "Aw, how sweet."

            "What about you guys? How was the party?"

            "Like all the others with the exception of John trying to get info about you."

            "Did you say anything?"

            "Why do you like him or something?"
            
            "No, he comes off as a creeper to me. I'm just curious."

            "Well we just told him that you're only interested in Alex and to just stay away."

            "Why didn't you fucking kill the dick?" Alex asked bitterly.

Kaity and I turned our heads and saw Alex giving us a morning death glare.

            "How long have you been up?" I asked.

            "From the moment Kaity first said his name."

            "You hate him that much?" I asked.

He smirked, "More than you will ever know. I'm going to the coolers, do I need to extras?" he asked standing up and walking to the door.

            "One for everyone."

            "Geez." He said closing the door.

           I looked back to the bunk area and noticed all the curtains where closed. I shook my head and I sat back down on the couch and waited for Alex to come back. The door opened a few minutes late and Alex walked up with an armful of water bottles. I grabbed the Excedrin from the counter and I walked back with Alex. He slipped two bottles under Jack's curtain and I placed a few pills in Jack's hand. We moved onto Zack and then Rian's bunk. Alex gave an extra bottle to Kaity and he took the last one.

           "Is this regular?" I asked looking at Kaity then Alex.

           "Only when we have a party." Alex laughed.

           We heard a grown or two from the back and we muffled our laughs.

            Everyone slowly emerged from the bunks and quietly got dressed and ready for the day. Sun glasses covered eyes and earplugs were shoved in ears. We walked off the bus and took a short cart ride to breakfast. We got our food and walked to a large shaded area. Jack, Ana, and Sam were lying on the grass with their empty plate over their eyes. All the rest of us ate silently. I didn't dare look up at anyone because I might just start laughing and I wouldn't be able to stop.

            Breakfast ended quickly. We walked to the equipment trailer and got the stuff the boys needed. I looked up at the board and saw that The Maine and All Time Low were on right after one another. On separate stages though. But the stages were right next to each other. I waited back stage with Sam, Ana and Kaity while All Time Low was busy warming up. John walked up to us and hugged Sam. "Hey lil sis." He said smiling, "What's up Abby?"

            "The sky dumb ass."

            "Ha-ha-ha very funny."

I scrunched my nose and walked toward Alex. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he leaned down and kissed my caller bone. It was time for All Time Low to perform. I kissed Alex on the lips and smacked his butt as he walked up the steps to the stage. Us girls stood by Flyzik by the sound booth and watched all the funny faces Zack, Rian and Jack were making. But by the end of the show Jack seemed to be all sobered up.

            We sat under a tent and watched the back of The Maine. Alex sat behind me and rested his chin on my shoulder. I looked down at him and smiled. He returned the smile with his cute "innocent" childish smile. The one smile that every girl fell for. He wrapped his arms around my chest and looked at the stage, right at that moment John was looking back at us. Alex laughed and John rolled his eyes before turning back to the fans.

            "Don't tell me you two are fighting?"

            "Well others usually yell or fist fight. We have a contest, I guess."

            "Oh well you win by a long shot. Déjà vu."

            "Huh?" he asked tilting his head.

            "I said the same thing yesterday to John." I laughed.

He smiled again and kissed my neck.

            The day went on just as good as yesterdays and the day before. We hung out on the bus or the merch booth. Walked to the sighing and went back to the bus. When the sun was no longer in the sky and the convoy of buses and trucks where heading down the freeway to the next town you knew it was time for sleep. But that's the thing. I couldn't sleep because I was too eager to take another shower. I played solitaire on my laptop one game after another until Alex pulled it away.

            "Hey I wasn't finished!"

            "I just wanna see what you've got on here."

I rolled my eyes and watched him play around on my laptop. He took the CD out of it and laughed. "Sims? Are you kidding me?"

            "No, and when your in a hospital for a week that game gets really fun."

            "Oh really?"

            "Yeah, I'll show you." I said taking the disk and placing it back into the computer. I clicked on the icon and Sims3 flashed a cross the screen. We ended up creating a family for us and playing around on it for the last couple of hours until the bus pulled up to the hotel.

            "Oh my god I cannot wait for a shower!" Ana cheered.

            "Hellz Yeah!" I added.

            "You better get use to it." Jack said looking over to me.

            "Feeling dirty?"

            "Yup."

            "Shit." I said hanging my head and they laughed at me.

            We had gotten all of our stuff we need and we ran to the lobby and got our room keys, we jumped in the elevator as it climbed up the shaft. When the doors opened we slipped into the hallway and we ran to our rooms. Neither one of us could seem to get the door open fast enough. I looked up to the room number and laughed as it swung open.

            "What's so funny?" Alex asked pushing me in the door with our stuff.

            "My two lucky numbers are 6 and 13."

            "Really? Wow, I though people would tend to stay away from 13, even a girl like you."

            "13 has got me to were I am today."

He smiled and turned to the bathroom, "Is it okay if I go first?"

            "Go right ahead."

He opened the door and started to strip down.  "Hey can you get my bathroom stuff?"

            "Sure." I said pulling out the bag and tossing it onto the counter in the bathroom. The door closed and the shower was turned on. I smiled and pulled out my stuff for a shower.
