The Remains of my Wasted Youth
010
Rebecca’s POV
I woke up the next morning feeling relaxed and calm within myself. I yawned and stretched to the best of my ability seeing as I still had Alex’s arms wrapped tightly around my body while he snored away. I gently pried myself from his arms and placed a small kiss on his forehead before jumping out of the bunk, grabbing my bag and clothes and heading towards the bathroom.
I got into the bathroom and had a relaxing long shower, washing and shaving myself. I jumped out, drying myself off and dressing in my underwear. Next I chucked on a pair of high-waisted studded shorts and my superman tank before pulling on my black studded converse. I knew the weather was going to be hot so it would be smart to dress appropriately. I grabbed my skull and crossbones necklace as well as my many bracelets including my superman and sonic wristbands. I let my hair dry in its natural wavy style and applied eyeliner and a small amount of mascara, before deciding to leave it at that.
I left the bathroom bumping into a semi unconscious Rian mumbling to himself about coffee. I chuckled knowing myself, Zack and Matt were the only ones on this bus who understood what a morning was…although Rian did once you got caffeine in him.
I enter the front of the bus finding Matt sat doing work on his laptop and Zack doing his morning work out.
“Hey.” I mumble before walking over to the sink, pouring myself a cup of water and taking many tablets.
“Morning.” They mumble back, Matt turning to shoot me a smile. I grab myself breakfast and sit myself down at the booth opposite Matt.
“Last minute management?” I ask swallowing a bite of toast.
“Sadly yes, and I gotta wake up the boys in a minute.” He sighs rubbing his forehead. The task of waking up Alex and Jack is the more difficult than feeding a lion, I felt sorry for Matt.
“I’ll do it, I gotta go get my camera anyway.” I reply finishing the last of my toast.
“You sure?” he questions smiling.
“Yeah sure why not.” I reply standing up. “I’m heading out in a second so I’ll go do it now.”
“First day taking photos huh? Nervous.” He asks typing away.
“Not really, I do take photos for a living Matt.” I laugh.
“Yeah true, oh and here.” He says handing me a laminate. “Your all access pass, I forgot to give it to you earlier.” He explains.
“Cheers Mickey.” I reply giving him a hug and then skipping off to the bunks. I grab my water bottle, slowly pull back Jack's curtain and pour the water all over Jack laughing.
“WHAT THE FUCK?” he screams sitting up causing me to crack up laughing more.
“Hehehe wakey wakey Jack, pay back for walking into the bathroom and taking a piss while I was in the shower.” I yell in his ear laughing. Revenge is sweet.
“One time Becz, one time.” He groans before getting out of bed and walking towards the bathroom.
“Whats going on?” comes a voice from behind me. I turn round coming face to face with Alex whose head was peaking behind our bunks curtain. He chuckles at the sight of me smiling and holding a water bottle. “Revenge?” he questions laughing. I nod smiling before walking over and planting a small kiss on his lips.
“I’m gonna go out and start taking photos before the fans turn up okay?” I explain running a hand through his hair.
“Okay sweetie, you want me to come with? I can get ready quickly.” He mumbles smiling against my lips.
“I’ll be fine, you spend some time with the boys, and besides you know me…I get caught up in my work.” I mumble against his lips before gently kissing them again.
“Okay…don’t get lost and be back before gates open.” He mumbles before laying back.
“Okay hun, see you later, also Matt wants you up.” I reply before grabbing my camera and phone and walking out of the bunks. I quickly stop off to let Matt know they are awake before exiting the bus with a chorus of ‘byes’ following.
I slowly leave the bus area and start off towards the stage areas, passing people setting up various tents and stalls. I continue on my walk, snapping photos of stalls and tents, bumping into people who I hadn’t seen in years.
I walk and walk, taking no notice on where I was going, causing me to bump into someone falling on the floor.
“Oh my god I’m so sorry.” Comes an unrecognisable voice above me. I look up and notice a blond man holding out his hand to help me up. I take it and pull myself up.
“No, no it’s fine, I weren’t looking where I was going.” I say checking my camera over to make sure it hadn’t had been affected. Luckily it was fine.
“Press?” he questions motioning towards my camera.
“I guess so, AP magazine sent me as tour photographer.” I explain shrugging.
“Oh right, well that’s cool.” He replies smiling a cute smile. “I’m Dan by the way.” He says smiling holding out his hand.
“I’m Rebecca.” I smile shaking his hand. A look crosses his face before disappearing quickly. Weird I think. We stand there talking for ages about different things before a message signals on Dan's phone.
“Well it was nice meeting you Rebecca but I have to head off and find my friends.” He says smiling holding his phone up.
“Let me guess, your band is performing on this tour.” I question smiling.
“Yeah, you should come check us out! We’ll be at Monster Energy Stage at 3pm.” He smiles. I nod and agree before saying goodbye and continuing on my walk of the park. I walk back to the bus section happy with myself for making a new friend and getting some good photos.
I open the bus door and immediately hit by a wave of hairspray causing me to go into a coughing fit.
“Oh my god, Jack fucking calm down with the hairspray!” I yell chugging down a bottle of water.
“SORRY NOT SORRY!” he yells back obnoxiously like a five year old. I roll my eye at his ridiculousness.
I walk into the back room and spot Alex laying on the sofa, eyes closed with his headphones in. I plop myself down on the sofa causing him to open his eyes and take out the headphones.
“Have fun?” he questions smiling.
“Yeah it was good, I met a new friend named Dan.” I smile.
“Not replacing me already?” he questions smirking.
“Of course…and hes a musician.” I joke back causing him to laugh. “I’m kidding anyway he’s taken…his girlfriend is gorgeous.” I reply kissing Alex on the lips.
“Well in my eyes your gorgeous.” He replies wrapping his arms round me and pulling my closer causing me to giggle. We sit there for a while, just kissing and talking before we're interrupted.
“ALEX WE HAVE TO GO, STOP FUCKING REBECCA AND COME ON.” Yells Jack causing both of us to burst out laughing.
“You gonna come to the signing?” he questions.
“Yeah, I gotta find something to do before seeing Dan’s band.” I reply standing up stretching.
“Do you know what the bands called?” he questions.
“Nah.” I shrug causing Alex to chuckle and grab my hand leading me out.
I woke up the next morning feeling relaxed and calm within myself. I yawned and stretched to the best of my ability seeing as I still had Alex’s arms wrapped tightly around my body while he snored away. I gently pried myself from his arms and placed a small kiss on his forehead before jumping out of the bunk, grabbing my bag and clothes and heading towards the bathroom.
