"Seriously Emily, what are you doing?"
I looked up from the empty Facebook newsfeed on my laptop to see Flyzik standing at the doorway of the bus.
"What does it look like?"
"It looks like," he said as he walked over and shut my laptop, "You're being the most boring piece of shit. Ever." I huffed and slumped further down the couch. "Oh get up. There is an insane party one bus over with some of the most awesome guys, and you choose to be alone..."
"Matt..."
"No. Don't 'Matt' me." He folded his arms and raised his eyebrows at me. "You've skipped out on all the parties so far on this tour and that's just stupid. You can't be alone forever."
I rolled my eyes and looked back at him, staring, until I finally cracked. "Ugh, fine!" I groaned. "I'll be there in ten," I said and got up and trudged down the back to my bunk.
"You'll be fine!" I heard him yell before heading back to the party.

I stared at my suitcase for a solid 5 minutes until I gave in and pulled out some faux leather look leggings, an oversized, slightly see-through black top, and my pair of combat boots. My long dark brown hair fell over one shoulder and I applied a bit of eyeliner and mascara around my green eyes. I exhaled at my reflection in the mirror and eventually forced myself off the bus. I couldn't screw anything up. Or screw anyone for that matter...

I took a deep breath before walking up Pierce the Veil's bus' steps. As I walked in, Matt spotted me and cheered. Most of the guys cheered along with him when they saw me.
"Here she is!" Flyzik walked over and handed me a drink. I blushed and took it from him.
"Don't make me regret this," I warned him. He saluted me and left me to my own devices.

"I will drink you under the table Barakat!" I slurred as Jack shook his head.
"Nah nah, you're tiny! You ain't got nothing on me!"
"We will see!" I pointed to him and smirked. Alex lined up shots of Fireball Whisky.

I looked in the mirror as I readjusted myself and got dressed again. I could see Mike smirking at me from behind, looking me up and down. He got up off the edge of my bunk and walked over, kissing me on the cheek. "Thanks Em. Good to have you back on tour."
He left the bus silently and headed back to the party. I'd wait a few minutes, rather than walking back in together, so it didn't look so suss. I could feel myself sobering up a little as I stared at my reflection. I wiped away the black make-up smudged under my eyes and tamed my hair as best as I could before heading back to the PTV bus. As I walked the short distance between buses, two people stumbled past me, laughing and whispering. I recognised that tall and lanky frame, being led by a girl I didn't know.
"Jack?" I called. He turned to look at me for a moment, winking, before hurrying past me with the girl and disappearing into the bus I had just come out of. I shook my head and continued on.

"Shit, sorry!" I apologised as I bumped into Dan Flint as I walked up the bus steps. He caught me before I almost tipped backwards off the top step. I regained my balance and smiled at him quickly, our eyes meeting for a moment.
"Careful," he smiled at me. I nodded and tore my eyes away before I made my way deeper into the bus towards the kitchen bench to make a drink. I felt like I was being watched and slyly looked over to the couch where Mike was, his eyes burning into every inch of my body. I bit my lip and looked away, only to turn back to find Alex across the bench from me. I tried to make myself look busy by making a drink. It was clear that he knew something was going on, I could still feel his eyes on me. I looked up to see him raise his eyebrows at me.
"Behaving?"
"What ever do you mean?" I said sarcastically.
He shook his head and laughed a little. "I see the old you is back?"
"Don't tell."
He nodded at me and took a drink.
