I was caught up in the excitement of the show. I let the music take me away from my fears and worries. I focused in on Alex’s voice. Nyssa was having a blast next to me as we watched the show. When it was over, Jack ran up to Nyssa and started talking his shoe that went MIA when he went into the pit. Before I knew Alex popped up in front of me.
“Ready to go party,” he asked.
“Yeah,” I smiled and he led me backstage to a dressing room. Nyssa and Jack followed shortly after.
While I got a shot from Alex, Jack joined us and we all slammed down our shots. I noticed Nyssa sat down in a corner, on her own like she normally did when she tagged along with me when I needed her as my DD. I wished Jack had stayed with her.
While waiting for Mike from PTV to finish shuffling the cards for our game of Kings, I heard a scream and found Nyssa running out of the room. I went to go after her when Jack stopped me.
“I got her. You stay with Alex, alright,” Jack said and he went after Nyssa.
“I noticed Nyssa acts so on edge. Is she alright,” Alex asked.
“It’s not my place to tell you. I’m sorry. Maybe you could ask her,” I told him.

After a couple draws, I was really feeling the effects of the alcohol. Luckily, Alex was letting me lean on him. I noticed that he was still pretty sober and was keeping an eye on me, which was really sweet.
“You alright Bonnie,” he asked.
“I’ve had too much,” I told him.
“Alright, Bonnie and I are out. Come with me to the bus. Maybe we’ll find Jack with Nyssa chilling out,” Alex helped me up, but I wanted to fall back down. So he picked me up and carried me outside. Once the cool evening air hit me, my head started spinning.
♪Alex♪
I got Bonnie to the bus and found Jack sitting with Nyssa, helping her relax. But as soon as Nyssa saw Bonnie in my arms, her face filled with worry.
“I’m fine, Nyssa. I’m just too drunk to walk right now,” Bonnie tried to calm her down, but it did little good. I set Bonnie down on the couch across from Jack and Nyssa and sat down next to her.
“I’ll take care of her tonight Nyssa. I can walk you to your car so you can go home,” I told her. Then I noticed that she had changed into one of Jack’s shirts.
“I’m not leaving without Bonnie,” Nyssa spoke up.
“Nyssa, I’ll be fine,” Bonnie slurred.
“I have an idea. How about both of you come on tour with us. I want to get to know you more Nyssa,” Jack offered.
“I’d like to do the same with Bonnie,” I added.
“Will Matt mind,” Nyssa asked.
“No, I don’t mind. I overheard Bonnie saying she couldn’t find a job in music management and I’m in a position to offer a job as an assistant tour manager,” Matt spoke up as he came on the bus.
“We’d have to go to our apartment to pack,” Nyssa pointed out.
“And leave the rent payments with the landlord for the time we’re gone,” Bonnie added.
“So, will you girls join us,” I asked.
“Of course,” Bonnie smiled.
“I guess I can tag along,” Nyssa agreed.
“Then it’s settled,” I grinned and pulled Bonnie into a hug. I was pretty damn happy to have Bonnie on the tour now.
♪Bonnie♪
“Now we need to go get our stuff from the apartment,” Bonnie added in.
“I can take the girls over. You two both need to shower. I’ll have the girls back when you guys are done,” Matt volunteered.
“Go ahead. I’ll make sure that there’s a couple bunks for you girls to sleep in,” Alex kissed my forehead again before I got up with Nyssa and followed Matt off the bus and out to our car.
When we got to the apartment, I ran to my room and grabbed a suitcase and started stuffing it with my clothes. I grabbed t-shirts, tank tops, my AWG crew neck fleece, my Tried and True Glamour Kills hoodie, my collection of skinny jeans, shorts, and couple of simple dresses. I grabbed a duffle bag and loaded my zebra print comforter and matching pillows and I packed my flip flops and a pair of black heels. I went into the bathroom next and grabbed my shampoo, conditioner, facial cleanser, my razor, and I grabbed my meds along with my allergy meds, my night retainer, some Tylenol and my stash of day and night quil.
“Nyssa you finished packing,” I asked as I brought my bags out into the living room.
“Yeah, just give me a sec,” she replied and she joined me with her bags.
I quickly packed my laptop up and grabbed my camera bag and phone charger before we took off with Matt to head back to the bus.

When the three of us got back to the bus on the golf cart followed us in since Nyssa insisted on leaving our car at the apartment, I found Alex on the front lounge couch on his phone while Jack was over by a corner of the front lounge, sorting through their movie collection.
“Honey, I’m back,” I greeted the boys as I set my bags down.
“About damn time,” Alex joked as he put his phone away and got up from his seat. He pulled me into a warm hug before he grabbed my bags and took me to my bunk, which happened to be the one above his.
“Ah so I’ll be on top,” I winked as I took out my bedding from my duffle bag.
“Yep. That way I can sleep close by,” Alex smiled as he helped me make my bed.
When my bunk was finished and I had my laptop, camera, and phone charger set up in my bunk, I went into my bag and grabbed my toiletry bag and pjs. I slipped into the bathroom and changed for the night and brushed my teeth before I slipped in my night retainer. I took my long, thick hair and pulled it up into a messy bun and took out my contacts. I grabbed my glasses case out of my bag and put the black thick rims on my nose, washing off my makeup beforehand.
“I’m ready for bed,” I shouted to the bus full of guys.
“Light weight,” Vinny snickered.
“You try waking up at eight in the morning when you had only just fallen asleep at 1 AM due to your restless mind and then talk to me about being a light weight,” I replied jokingly.
“Goodnight, Bonnie,” Alex smiled as he hugged me and kissed my forehead again.
“Night, Alex. See you tomorrow,” I replied before I crawled into my bunk. I popped in my headphones and turned on my ipod, drifting to sleep to So Wrong It’s Right on repeat.
