The next morning I felt a lot better, I had slept so good in Tonys arms and I had convinced myself that these notes were just a stupid prank someone played on me.
So I told the guys I would go to work as usual. They protested at first but I assured them I would be around people the whole day so nothing could happen to me.
As the guys had a busy day with meet and greets, interviews and visits to the Merch tent before their set, Tony demanded that we would at least meet up for lunch around 2pm, which I gladly agreed to.

And what about Alex you ask? Yeah what about him. I had tried to push every thought about him to the back of my mind. I felt so hurt, so deceived, so used. But what could I do? What had happened, happened and I could not make things undone. I regretted that I had actually believed he felt something for me, only to find out that he was exactly like most of the other band guys. They only think about themselves and don't care how many hearts they brake.
I felt like I wanted to cry and scream and hit the walls but I decided not to. It wouldn't change anything. So I would just wait until this wound had closed and healed hoping he would not leave a scar.

I nearly ran into Jack in catering but managed to dodge behind a group of people, I didn't want to talk to him because he would definitely be on Alex's side and try to defend him and ask me to talk things out with him and I wasn't up for that at least not yet.

Another reason why I wanted to work was the fact that I had planned on getting 'my band' a little publicity and couldn't wait to set this plan in action. So I went to check Petrichor's Merch tent to see if the band was there and I was lucky, they were all sitting at the tables signing give away posters and chatting to a couple of fans that had found their way.
I went up and fist bumped them, even getting a smile from Tieran who was gnawing on half an apple. Well not what I call a proper lunch but I suppose you can't expect too much.

Then I turned to look for the man I needed for this. I saw him a few tents up in conversation with Andy Biersack and rudely jumped in to disturb their talk.

"Well if that is not my favourite person on Warped. The one and only Bryan 'friends with the' Stars." I yelled in my worst Australian accent, throwing an arm around his shoulder. "How are you mate?" I patted his chest. I really made an effort here to be as obnoxious as possible.

Bryan hated my guts, since the year I kicked him off the Merch area because he was trying to sell his stuff without having consent of the organisers. And I intended to use this fact to my advantage.

He stiffened at the touch and looked at me with a forced smile. "Hey Gi. I'm fine thanks." While Andy just stared at me as if he was wondering what drug I was on.

I pulled at his arm dragging him along, constantly talking very loudly. "Hey Bryan, how about we have a coffee together you know like catching up on things."
His face fell considerably at the prospect of having to spend even more time with me.
"I don't know Gi, I'm kinda busy..." He tried to get out of this.

By now we were in front of Petrichor's stall.
I turned Bryan towards them. "Hey look at these losers, Bryan." I pointed at the band laughing "I mean I know a lot about music and shit and I can tell you those guys suck." I felt mean to say this but I needed to.

Bryan once told me to shut up talking about music because I had, quote 'no fucking clue' about anything, so I tried to get him even more wound up by bragging about my musical instinct. I acted as if I wanted to pull him further but he resisted and yanked his arm away, looking intrigued at the young band.

"Actually Gi, I have heard them and I think they are great." He retorted, if this was true or not I could not determine but it didn't matter because he stepped even closer to their tent and turned to me with a smirk on his face.

"I think they are so good that I will ask them for an interview straight away. Sorry but I have to work now." With that he turned away and approached the band that looked a bit shocked at first.

"Whatever, Bryan." I yelled angrily after him before I turned around walking away so that he couldn't see my grin. Yes! Nailed it!
