Rebecca’s POV

Ahhh warped tour. A place I always wanted to go but never got the chance to when I was younger due to living in England. I had heard stories told of the place, about how for the bands it was their summer camp and that for the fans, it was their own traveling Disney Land. It was the place to go if you loved music…especially the rock/alternative scene.

I had never been able to go before due to my work commitments, but Alex had somehow managed to swing it with AP magazine to allow me to go, even if it meant me working all summer photographing bands. To be honest, I didn’t really mind though, I would have ended up taking pictures of them in my free time anyway; I just loved photography too much.
I couldn’t help but picture the summer before us; a summer we will fill with memories. Late nights drinking and partying, beach bonfires, days spent meeting the devoted fans and all the pictures I would capture…this summer was going to be perfect.

I packed my suitcase the night before, filling it to the brim with shorts, tanks, t-shirts, skirts, underwear, a couple of dresses here and there and one or two bathing suits. I chucked my various pairs of shoes into a half filled bag, a bag me and Alex agreed to use as the shoe bag. Next I moved onto packing the essentials; toothbrush and paste, shampoos, conditioners, shaving products, make-up and so on before placing my laptop, iPod, and kindle into my laptop bag. I finally made sure my camera was safe away in its own bag before heaving the suitcase to the top of the stairs, knowing Alex will carry the case down for me as I was so short and helpless. I retreated back to the bedroom before crawling under the covers knowing tomorrow was a big day ahead. After what seems like half an hour I hear the sounds of Alex heaving my heavy suitcase down the flight of stairs before retreating back.

I close my eyes just as I feel Alex climb into bed next to me, placing a gentle kiss on my forehead and pulling me into his arms. It was there that I fell into a comfortable sleep.

I woke up the next day to the sounds of Alex’s melodic voice.

“Baby, it’s time to get up, we’ve got to get on the bus. The cases and everything are already on there.” He mumbles.

“What time is it?” I grumble, sleep still heavy on me.

“4am.” He replies causing me to let out a groan.

“Come on missy you can sleep on the bus.” He replies picking me up and carrying me downstairs. When we reach the bottom I stand up on my own walking outside to the bus and entering, leaving Alex to check over the house and lock up.

As I walk onto the bus I am immediately enveloped in a hug.

“Yay, I can’t believe were going on this tour together Becz, its gonna be so much fun.” Comes Jack’s excited and too loud for what time it is voice. The boys continue to talk around me, myself zoning out on their voices when I am rescued by Alex.

“Guys come on, let her go to the bunks and sleep, she’s not use to this time okay.” He says before scooping me up and carrying me to the bunks, causing a chorus of goodnights from the boys, myself carelessly waving back.

We enter the bunk compartments before Alex gently places me in a middle bunk before crawling in himself and wrapping his arms round my body. I snuggle into his arms and close my eyes again…letting sleep envelop me.

*Dream*

“It looks so cool.” Comes the voice of the boy I have loved since I was 5, his eyes trained on the pictures in front of us.

“I know right, I wanna go one day, imagine all our favourite bands we could see.” I reply, my eyes glancing from the boy to the pictures of the Vans Warped tour on the computer screen.

“You better not go without me, I wouldn’t be happy Rebecca.” He replies turning to look at me.

“Dude trust me, the first time I go to warped tour you will be there, we will go together, I promise.” I reply holding out my pinky. He quickly envelops my pinky with his own before shaking.

“You’re my bestfriend and I promise you, we will experience the warped life together.” I mumble smiling causing him to smile back.

*End Of Dream*

I woke up quickly sitting in the bunk, realising I am now alone. I don’t know why that memory had come back from my childhood, but it felt so strong. I hadn’t spoken to the boy in years, he promised to keep in contact when I moved but we never really spoke after I left England. I kept trying to message him back over the years and see how he was but he ignored every message and email.

It was as if after I left he forgot about me, you know like the saying: out of sight, out of mind. However I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty, experiencing Warped without it, it was something I had promised to do with him…but then I always promised to myself that me and him would end up in love and together. I sigh shaking my head before crawling out of bed shaking off the dream. If he had the nerve to forget about me all those years ago then I had to forget about him, I had a great life now with Alex, I was happy and about to embark on this wonderful tour with him and my bestfriends. I sit in the bunk thinking to myself for a couple of minutes before the curtain is pulled back to reveal Alex.

“Great your up.” He says smiling . “You slept the whole drive here.” He smirks causing me to blush and shrug my shoulders. I climb out of the bunk, placing a gentle kiss on his lips before grabbing a pair of shorts, a tank and converse before running to the bathroom; having a wash, brushing my teeth and changing my clothes.

By the time I exit the bathroom, the bunk area is empty. I walk out to the front of the bus coming face to face with the guys. We mumble hi to each other, a smile on all of our faces, just happy to finally be at warped tour.

Alex quickly stands up and walks over to me giving me a tight hug and a gentle yet firm kiss before mumbling the words I was waiting to hear.
“Let’s go out and start warped tour love.”
