A Handful of Moments

2. Aftershow

"20 minutes!" I shouted after the boys came running off the stage. Trying to get them out of the venue in time was one of the most stressful parts of my job. Seriously, how long does it take to shower and change? I turned to follow them backstage, there was so much I had to get sorted before we left. I heard a very familiar voice calling my name from the stage.
"Hey, Matt!" I span round, a grin spreading across my face. It had been so long since I'd seen her.
"Ri!"I called back, opening my arms to my not-so-little sister. She walked into my hug, squeezing me tightly. In all honesty I had completely forgotten that I had invited her to the show.
"Hey stranger" She said brightly, pulling away. I resisted the urge to raise my eyebrows at her outfit. I had to tell myself she wasn’t a little girl anymore.
"Did you enjoy the show?" I asked with a smile, I already knew the answer by the look on her face.
"Um...YES!" She said exuberantly with a massive grin, waving her arms around.
"I'm glad! Where's Hanna?" I really hoped Rina had not come all on her own, especially dressed the way she was. Anything could of happened.
"Oh she went home, she didn’t want to stay" She shrugged. I opened my mouth to answer when my name was called. Luke, one of the crew, was waving his arms at me, telling me to hurry up. It was getting closer to curfew and I was almost certain the boys wouldn’t be ready yet. I waved Luke forward.
"Right, I've got a few things to do before we leave the venue. Luke will show you to the VIP room, you can chill in there until we're ready to leave" Luke smiled at Rina politely, which she returned.
"Okay bro" She answered, turning to follow Luke down the hall chatting happily. I didn’t waste anymore time. I walked through the venue, checking in on everyone to make sure everything was packed up and ready to go. My last stop was the bands dressing room. I wasn’t surprise they weren't ready, walking around in towels and whipping each other. It was a good job it was me and not someone that didn’t know them like I did, there was a lot of skin on show.
"Listen up guys! We need to leave in 10 minutes, stop fucking around! Oh and my sister is sat in the VIP room so don’t walk around with your dicks out. And be nice" I eyed them seriously, letting them know I meant business.
"Why? You scared she'll want me" Jack joked, flicking his wet hair dramatically and standing in a seductive pose. The others laughed.
"Go near her and I will break your weedy legs" Rina was off limits. No exceptions. I didn’t care if she was 21, she was still my sister.
"Kidding, jeeze. Chill yo' dick…" Jack said, disappearing into the shower room. I didn’t move from the doorway. I was going to make sure they were out on time.
"We'll be out in 10 Matt, don’t sweat it" Rian assured me, gently pushing me out of the door.
"You best be!" I shouted as the door closed in my face. Jack's comment had put me in a bad mood. I made my way to the VIP room to check on Rina. She was sat on the couch, flicking through her phone. She looked pretty bored. She looked up as I entered.
"Almost ready to go" I told her with an apologetic smile. I did feel bad. It had been ages since I last saw her and although I wanted nothing more than to sit and catch up with her, I had a job to do. I just hoped she'd understand. Not that she would say anything if she didn’t.
"Where are we going?" She asked me with a smile, her eyes eager. She obviously wanted to get going.
"To a club for the after show. I reckon I owe you a few drinks now your 21" I said with a grin. Her eyes lit up and she returned my smile.
"Seriously?"
"Yupp" I nodded, smile still in place.
"Well...lets go then. You’ve got a lot of alcohol to buy" She told me, standing up. What had I gotten myself into? I definitely wasn’t going to drink too much, I needed to keep an eye on her.

Rian kept his word, the boys were only a few minutes late out. After all the equipment was packed into the vans everybody made their way on foot to the club, it was only a few streets away. Anyway, the tour bus would have drawn attention to the boys. The band left before me and Rina as I had to be the last one to leave, I said we'd meet them in there and told them to not drink until we get there. I didn’t want Rina to feel as if she had to catch up with them. There was a massive line outside the club doors, it was lucky we had free entry. The party was in full swing, there were bodies moving everywhere. I searched the crowd, trying to find everyone. When I finally spotted them by the bar, I led Rina through the darkness to introduce her to them.
"There you are!" Rian exclaimed.
"This is Rina, my sister" I said, gesturing my hands towards her.
"Hey Rina" Alex smiled warmly at her, holding out his hand which she took in hers. She smiled back at him.
"Hi" Rain greeted her brightly, doing the same as Alex.
"Hey!" Jack half screamed, pulling her into a hug. Her shocked expression was pretty funny, but Jack wasn’t. I glared at him until he let go of her. He smirked at me, punching me lightly in my side. Zack didn’t say anything, he gave her a slight nod and a smile.
"Hey. Great show guys, it was awesome" She said.
"Thanks! It looked like you were enjoying yourself" Alex said with a smile, winking at her when her cheeks became warm. She must have been fangirling in the crowd.
"Where'd your friend go?" Jack asked her, obviously referring to Hanna. No guesses why he wanted to know where the blonde went.
"Oh, she went home" Her eyebrows furrowed very subtly, wondering why he had asked.
"Oh…." Jack said clearly disappointed. Part of me wished Hanna was here, at least then Jack would be distracted from Rina.
"Right, drink?" I said, breaking the small silence between us.
"Shots! Alex answered.
"I wasn’t asking you" I looked back over to Rina, waiting for her reply. Jack put his arm over her shoulders.
"Rina's cool, I bet she wants shots" He said. The smirk playing on his lips told me knew exactly how much he was pissing me off.
"Uh...sure"
"6 vodka shots please" I ask the bartender, not really sure it was a good idea. He poured them out and I handed them round the group. We clicked the glasses together and flung them back. I looked over to Rina with a scrunched up face, she didn’t even flinch. How much vodka had she been drinking? She hadn't been 21 that long.
"You look way to used to the taste of vodka for my liking" I said with a smirk, half joking half serious. She slammed her shot glass down on the bar.
"Oh shut up, you weren't exactly an angel when you were my age" I was slightly taken aback by her mild outburst. I had just been owned by my little sister. Of course the boys all laughed and jeered at me.
"Ouch" Zack spoke up for the first time, high fiving Rina.
"You can stay" Jack said, placing his arm back on her shoulders. She grinned at him blatantly pleased by what he had said. He was so close to crossing the line as he whispered something in her ear, making her look at me and laugh. Alex looked at me and could probably tell from my expression I was about to lose it. He punched Jack's arm and gave him a look. Jack rolled his eyes and lowered his arm, mouthing me an apology.

After we moved from the bar, I lost track of the amount of drinks I had bought myself and Rina. Things were starting to get a little blurry. Everyone had dispersed into the crowd of dancing people, occasionally meeting at the bar when drinks ran out. When I got to the bottom of my drink, I realised I hadn't seen Rina in a while. I managed to find Jack in the crowd, dancing with some girls. At least she wasn’t with him.
"Have you seen Rina?" I asked him, shouting over the music. He didn’t stop dancing to answer me, only turning his face towards me.
"She was at the bar with some guy, I don’t know where they’ve gone" I looked back over to the bar. She was nowhere to be seen. I proceeded to find the others, asking if they'd seen her. Most said they saw her at the bar, but no one had seen her since then. Where was she? I told myself she was 21 now, she knows how to look after herself. She'd be okay…. Right?
