When it got to my lunch break, i was so tired i couldn't be bothered to do anything.But i was hungry, i pulled my pasta out of my bag and ate most of it then threw the rest in the bin. I pulled out my ipod, i still had an hour to kill. I rested my head on the table and listened to selfish machines album on loop. I could feel myslef falling asleep so i went to grab some coffee, after i drunk it, i went back to work. Joy. I spent the next few hours doing the regular mundane things i have to do, cleaning, making coffee and washing out the machines. But most of the time i was just day dreaming, staring out of the window, kinda hoping that Pierce The Veil were going to walk back in. I'm not that lucky. The evening rush kicked in at about six, which kept me and Jade busy for an hour and a half. When the shop was empty em and Jade made coffee and sat down at a table in the shop. "You're still pretty bummed, aren't ya?" i raised my head from my steaming cup of drink and nodded. "I don't undertand why you didn't just go, i would have done" Jade had short blond hair and was pretty girly, well way more than me anyway, so it was weird to be getting advice from her. In respone i just shrugged, I didn't really feel like talking about it to be honest. I just wanted to go home. I turned around in my chair to look at the clock, half eight. Only half and hour left. Pierce The Veil are probalby playing right now. Sigh. I threw away mine and Jade's cardboard cups and wiped down the table, i looked around for some more mess to clean, to kill time but there was hardly anything. So i stood around waiting for the nine o'clock. When i got home, i threw my stuff on the floor near my bed and searched my pockets for my liprings and put them back in. It stung like a bitch, i only got them done like two weeks ago and i have to keep taking them out. I changed into an oversized aerosmith t shirt and climbed into bed and switched on my tv. I watched the simpsons untill i fell asleep. Livin the high life. When i got up the next morning, i had a little more time to get ready for work. I had a shower and washed my hair, returned to my room and dried it. I put on my PTV vest that had a dreamcatcher on and my black demin shorts. I was straightening my hair when my phone buzzed. Jade. 'Can you please bring some milk to work 'cause we're not allowed to get some from the shop xo' Great, now i have to leave earlier, i quickly put my make up on. My boss wasn't running the shop so i left my snakebites in. I walked into work holding up the milk with pulling an unimpressed face, put it on the counter and went to put my stuff in my locker. Another day. It all went the same and boring untill lunch. The shop phone rang. "Hello?" "Hey, can i speak to Sydney please?" "Yeah, i'm Sydney" Weird. "It's Tony, me and the guys felt bad about yesterday morning and we all wondered if you wanted to hang out with us before we leave?" Was this a joke? "Uhhhmm..yeah sure!" "Can, you come over to the venue from last night in about ten minutes?" he has the sweetest voice, i just wanted to reach through the phone and hug him, again. Then it hit me what he said, ten minutes, i have to work. "I'm really sorry but i have to wor-" "Forget about the crappy job, from what i gathered you hate it anyway, so what do you say?" How the hell was i supposed to say no to Tony Perry. Opportunity of a lifetime. "See you in about ten" I squealed and hung up the phone, ran out back to grab my stuff. "Where the hell are you going, it's only me and you on today?" Jade yelled as i ran out the door. "You're on your own, i quit!" i laughed the whole way out the shop. I paced myself walking down the street towards the venue. What if this was some sick joke? What if I was just heading to someone who's gonna beat the crap out of me. Shut up Syd! It was Tony, how would he have known? Duh! I was physically shaking as i approached the street. I walked up to the doors, nothing, i tried around the back, gate was locked. I'm extremley pessimistic and lost all hope. I turned around to walk back and beg for my shitty job when.. "Yo Sydney, over here!" I turned around to find Mike around the other side of the building and i ran up to the door to catch up. "I hope you weren't giving up that easily were you?" he laughed. Ah crap i'm shaking. "No" i laughed really nervously. I was sitting amoungst their equipment, I was surrounded by guitars and large boxes. "Wanna com ehang in the booger?" Vic asked. "Yeah, sure." I was sat in the back of the booger, just talking to the guys about random stuff, harry potter, star wars and my bad exscuse of a life. I thanked them for letting me come and meet them and for saving me. They are all so sweet. When i was talking to Jaime, Vic and Tony wandered off for a bit. When they came back Vic looked at Tony and nodded slightly. Tony cleared his throat and sat next to me. "How would you feel about, running away from your old life and coming on tour with us as a merch girl?" Whaaaaaaat? "Are you serious?! Yeah of course i do! I'd have to go home and grab my stuff though." "Sure, do you want me to help?" Tony offered, in a whisper and i nodded in response with a massive smile on my face.
