I zipped up my last suitcase and dragged it down the stairs. It had been a week since I had gotten the job to be a merch girl for the band 'Levels'. Warped Tour didn't start for another few days, but we had to be there to set up and be ready. I had been in a lot of contact with the lead singer of the band Roxy, talking on the phone for nearly two hours everyday just getting to know each other, since I would be spending the whole of Warped with them maybe possibly longer if they decided to keep me on.

I heard a car horn beep a few times outside, it must of been Jack he was picking me up then I was travelling with him and his band to Warped Tour. I was personally looking forward to spending some more time with my brother and the rest of the band and crew, they were off touring so much I barley saw them. I grabbed my three suitcases dragging them out of my open front door onto the lawn. Jack saw that I was struggling and got out of his car and grabbed two of the suitcases chucking them into the back of his boot. I carried the final suitcase and put it in the backseats as there was no space. Jack got back into the drivers seat, so I sat in the passangers seat. I was a bit nervous to be driving with Jack because he isn't the safest sort of driver.

We arrived outside Alex and Rian's house about twenty minutes later, the tour bus was waiting outside already. Jack parked the car on the drive and got out quickly, I un-did my seatbelt, climbing out of the car and shutting the door. Jack had already got my suitcases out of the car and was dragging them towards the tour bus. I catched up with him, climbing into the tour bus after him. Everyone was already sitting down or standing up inside, there was Rian, Zack, Alex, Matt Flyzik the tour manager, Evan Kirkendall the sound guy, Jeff Maker who does the lights, Danny Kurily the guitar tech, Alex Grieco the drum tech and Vinny Petrocelli the merch guy. So for the next ten hour drive, I would be stuck with just these boys for company. Let's just hope they don't decide to get drunk...

I sat down next to Zack as the bus started to drive, I got on with Zack quite well he was good to talk to since he always listened and gave good advice. We started talking about how good Warped was going to be and he was asking me how excited I was to be working for Levels and if I fancied anyone from the band yet. I asked him about how touring was going, how the new album was going and his reply to that? Amazing. After that he plugged in his earphones and shut his eyes to go to sleep.

I got up and decided to talk to Alex, I hadn't really spoken to him in a while. I knew he was in his bunk, so I went over there pulling back the curtain and climbing in. Alex was on the phone, so I didn't say anything till he had finished. As soon as he put his phone down he smiled at me.

"Lisa?" I asked.

"Yeah." Alex replied bluntly.

"Are you still together?" I asked biting my lip.

I'd always had some 'feelings' for Alex, I don't know if it was because he had always been so protective of me, or if it was because he was so incredibly good looking or if it was something else. I'd never acted on my feelings, nor would I ever tell anyone about my feelings because Alex was like my bestfriend, he was my brother's bestfriend I'd never do anything to muck that up.

"Yeah we are. It's getting hard on her now since we never really get to see each other. I've only just come back from touring and I'm off again. She really deserves a lot better than me..." Alex said his voice trailing off.

"Don't talk like that Lex. You're good enough for her, she knows that it's gonna be hard and that you won't see each other much, just make every second count when you do see each other."

"You give the best advice, you're such a good friend George." Alex said using my nickname.

Friend that word stung a little. I really needed to get over this pathetic, little crush for him. Nothing was ever going to happen, he had Lisa they were happy together, she made him happy not me. I quickly kissed his nose like I always did and climbed out of his bunk. I went in look for some food, but the only things I could see around here was a lot of alcohol. I saw Jack bounding over to me with a goofy grin plastered on his face.

"Looking for food aren't ya!" Jack said.

"Yes, I'm starving and you have no food." I moaned.

Jack grabbed my hand and pulled me into the 'little' kitchen they had, rummaging through one of the cupboards which were too high up for me to reach and passing me a bag of Doritos. I said thanks quickly, opening the bag and shoving in the nachos. I hadn't had time to eat this morning, so this was the next best things. Jack walked away laughing at me muttering something about me eating like an animal.

"Gonna save any for me?" A voice said.

I turned around my smile instantly widening.

"Greico! I've missed you!" I said nearly shouting his surname.

"Missed you too buddy!" Alex Greico said pulling me into a hug and grabbing a handful of nachos out of the bag.

Alex Greico was one of my bestfriends, I had gotten to know him through Jack. I always called him Greico because his first name was Alex and there already was an Alex on the bus (Gaskarth) so it was easier so they didn't get confused, that's what the others did too. I hit is hand away as he reached for some more nachos, he knew how possesive I got over my food. It was sad really, I think because I didn't have a boyfriend or anything food was just my comfort zone.

"Bitch." Greico muttered.

"Ergh, fine." I said moodily, handing over the Dorito packet.

He leant over kissing me on the forehead and saying thanks. I felt myself blush a little as I looked over at the other boys and they were doing '<3' with their hands. They always thought something was going on between me and Greico when nothing ever was, and nothing ever would. It was ever since I got pissed out of my head and made out with him, now no one ever drops it constantly bringing it up which got annoying. I decided to go and see Alex again, he was the only one who got just as annoyed as me about the whole situation, I think it was because he understood how much it frustrated me. I climbed back into his bunk, where he was sitting on his phone tapping away at twitter replying to a few fans.

"What's up?" Alex asked his eyebrows furrowing together.

"They keep doing lovehearts with their hands again at me and Greico just because he kissed me on the forehead. It's so bloody annoying." I explained.

"He kissed you?" Alex said his voice fading into a whisper.

"Yeah on the forehead, that's it no biggie."

"I think he might like you."

"C'mon be serious Alex no. He's one of my bestfriends, nothing more."

"But you did kiss him once..."

"When I was drunk. God, I wish everyone would stop bringing that up. I thought you knew that it annoyed me Alex? I thought you were on my side..." I said swinging my legs over the bunk to climb down.

Alex grabbed my arm pulling my back in.

"I am on your side, you know I am. I always am on your side. Let's just forget about it, if they do it ignore them and if you really want I'll say something to them but they're just messing about." Alex says softly.

"I know they're. It's just annoying."

"Just forget about it, lay here with me for a while we've got a long drive ahead of us."

I nodded slowly, laying down and resting my head on Alex's chest. There was nothing wrong with this, it's not like he was cheating, he was one of my bestfriends and we were always like this, expect for me it meant much more, it gave me the butterflies in my stomuch and made me tingle all the way to my toes. Every moment I spent with him made me like him just that little bit more, I needed to distance myself from him to get over him but I just don't think I could. It was like mission impossible. I shut my eyes, my breathing matching Alex's it didn't take long for me to fall asleep. It didn't take me long to start dreaming about Alex either.
