The Tour Life Of Adriana Perry
My Hearts In Two
I woke, holding my head feeling like I had been hit by a truck. Rolling over I came into sudden contact with the floor with a thud. Letting a huge groan I opened my eyes once again to see me sprawled out across the floor of the living area of the bus. Propping myself up, I looked around. Mike was led on the floor a little further away from me. Vic was half on the table, half off the table. Jaime was stood in the doorway with that usual grin on his face. “How long have you been there?” my voice croaked.
“Long enough to know me seeing you half undressed is not something I want to see.” he laughed, walking back into the bunks closing the doors. I sat up looking at myself. A horrified expression coming onto my face. I reached back to grab the blanket, wrapping it around me. I stood up too see Ben led on the couch, in nothing but his boxers. Didn't I just fall off that? Oh dear god. Please tell me I didn't do anything with him last night. The door to the bunk area opened and in walked Sam. “Morning...” I mumbled, holding onto the blanket as tightly as I could.
“You didn't hook up with Ben.” he said, motioning towards my anxious state.
“Then why am I half naked?” I was kind of regretting asking that one.
“James was trying to get your drunk ass into bed, you heard something in here. Came running in, jumped on top of Ben who was hooking up with someone and well you passed out after the chick left.” he explained as he got some water passing it to me.
“Oh.” was all I managed to get out. He informed me that we were heading to the next venue today so I could sleep off this major hangover. With a smile, I headed into my bunk. I opened the curtains to find Danny in there, with no surprise a girl. “Worsnop, the fuck are you doing in my bunk?” He jumped, banging his head off the bunk above.
“Fucking A, what?” he half shouted at me.
“Please tell me you didn't fuck a girl in my bed.” He gave me a guilty look. “Ew. Have it. I'll use someone elses.” I cringed at the thought of sleeping in that bunk now. God, they really didn't have any morals. I decided to just to grab some clothes and begin tidying up the bus. Someone had to do it and asking the boys to do it would be like asking a pack of monkeys. Grabbing some clothes I headed into the bathroom. I was greeted by a mass of tattoo's. “Oh hey, can I use the shower?”
“Go for it.” replied Oli not turning his attention away from the mirror. I gave a small cough. “Oh, sorry. Hey, Hannah's joining us later today.” I let out a small squeal, more of a squeak, at that. Another girl on the tour with me, not to mention it was Hannah freaking Snowdon and I adored that girl. With that he left. Locking the door behind him, I turned the shower on letting the water get hot. Looking at myself in the mirror, my eyes were badly bloodshot, my eyes looked droopy sort of say. A small bruise caught my eye, looking closely I noticed it being a hickey. I chewed my lip, trying to think who could of possibly given it to me.
Climbing into the shower after stripping down, I began singing to myself. Letting the hot water cascade down my body, closing my eyes I just stood under there. I was too lost in my own mind to notice someone had somehow made their way into the bathroom and into the shower. My eyes snapped open as I felt them nudged me slightly. “Shit, you scared me. Why are you in here?”
“I wanted to talk, here put that round you if you feel uncomfortable.” He passed me a towel. I did wrap it round me. Not caring if it got wet through right now. I was more concerned as to why Cameron was in the shower with me.
“Well spit it out then.”
“That on your neck, who's seen it?”
“No-one why? Jesus Cam, you look nervous as fuck.”
“If anyone asks, it was James okay? Last night never happened.” He rushed out. I felt my mouth open slowly. Did he just say what I thought he said? I inwardly sighed. God, I was turning into a slut. “We didn't sleep together, it was mor---”
“He's going to know it wasn't him.” I whisper shouted. Why was I even bothered? I wasn't in a relationship with James. It was more of a flirty friendship with the occasional fuck. I was more bothered about this getting back to Kellin.
“You do know that you two hooked up last night?” I shook my head. “Exactly, he doesn't even remember you two getting it on. So it was James.” He climbed out, heading out the bathroom. I quickly finished up in the shower and getting out. With a quick dry, I threw my clothes on and headed out. I was stopped by Mike. He looked a little worse for wear. He was about to say something when he shoved me out the way to hurl. I screwed up my face and wandered to the kitchen area for something for my head. I was praying to god, I didn't remember last night.
“Morning beautiful...” A voice whispered in my ear, two arms wrapping round my front.
“You know Cassels, we need to stop meeting like this.” He let out a low laugh, before turning me to face him.
“Who said I wanted to stop?”
“Who said I wanted to carry on?” The smirk was visible. His eyes flickering from mine, down the my neck and back up. Had he seen it? No, he'd of said something surely. “Get this mess cleaned up.” I broke the silence, moving past him and into the back room. Grabbing my laptop, I loaded up Skype and hovered over Kellin's name. Do I ring him? I really did want to see him. I clicked to call him, he answered straight away.
“Hey, how's tour?” he was smiling at me.
“Alright, can't you come back? I miss you.” I could of sworn I heard him say he misses me to. I grabbed the acoustic that was in this room. “Can I play you something?” He nodded. I strummed a few chords before I started singing.
Once I had finished, his smile was a little bigger. “Did you write it?”
“Oh no. It's one of Craig's songs. Picture Perfect. It just reminds me of you.” The door opened and my uncle Vic called me to come out. “I'm talking to Kels, I'll be out soon.” I yelled back before turning my head back to the screen. We were sat there for well over 2 hours, just talking, laughing and even some tears were there. We said our goodbyes and hung up. I sighed, flopping backwards so I was now led down.
Let me tell you how I feel. I wanted Kellin, he was every bit perfect. But I wanted adventure. Something I didn't get with Kellin. Kellin was sweet, caring, kind, gentle. Yes that was amazing at times, especially in the bedroom. But sometimes I needed something to get me going, in and out the bedroom. We were too perfect, we barely argued. “Uncle Himeeee?” I called, well half whined.
“Yes baby girl?” his head popped through the door seconds later. I patted the empty space next to me. He came in and sat next to me. “What's on your mind little one?”
“Kellin. I want him back, but I need adventure and excitement. I hate not having it.” Yes, I was actually talking to my uncle about basically my sex life but I had no-one else to turn to. Plus I could trust him not to go telling everyone. That's probably because me and him do have a bond that no-one else really knows about it, you know with him being my biological dad.
“Talk to him. Spice things up somehow. That's what your mom and Mike did at one point.” I gave him a funny look. I did not need to know that sort of stuff.
“Not right now.” His head turned, his eyes were on my neck and they widened. “That is why. Every time I get drunk or bored I end hopping into bed with James. Excitement like I said.” We spent a good hour talking about me. Vic burst into the room, cutting our chat short. He locked the door, both me and Jaime gave him a confused look. He just stood there doubled nearly with laughing.
“Uncle Vic? What's going on?” I asked, I began laughing myself for no apparent reason. He calmed himself down before talking.
“I may or may not of just pissed your Uncle Mike off little one.” As if right on cue, Mike's voice came up along with a dozen bangs on the door. I jumped up, unlocking the door and throwing it open. I covered my eyes straight away. He was stood there completely naked, covering his bits with his hands.
“Put some clothes on Uncle Mikey! God damn.”
“I would if Vic would give me them back or at least a towel.” he snapped. Vic yelled a no. “Fine, I'll walk around starkers.” I pushed past him. Digging around in my stuff I grabbed him a towel, throwing it at him. He wrapped it around him. “You're my favourite niece.”
“You have two of us remember, Uncle Mikey.” I laughed. “Speaking of Fran, she's coming out with Hannah to see us.” The thought of having 2 other girls here with me had me all excited. It was hard work being the only girl on the tour.
***
Everyone was now gathered in the living area, the bus now tidy and clean. I had my head on my now sleeping Uncle Jaime's lap as we watched Star Wars. I was mouthing along to the words, I'd been shouted at countless of times already for saying them out loud. My phone soon grabbing my attention as it vibrated by my side. I jumped up, answering it.
Hey Fran!
Hey girlie, we're at the airport! Where are you guys?!
Hang on let me check...
I placed my hand over the microphone part. “How long till the airport?”
“2 minutes!!” yelled Oli who was beginning to get a bit even more excited about picking up his girl.
Hey, 2 minutes. We'll come to you.
Alrighty! See you soon. I hung up, grabbing my coat and standing by the door with Oli. I was now just as excited as he was. As soon as the bus stopped, before anyone could say anything both me and Oli raced off the bus, running as fast as we could through the car park, dodging traffic all the up to the arrivals entrance. I ran straight up to Frances, pulling her into a tight hug. We both were screaming as were Oli and Hannah. They grabbed their cases and followed us to the bus. “I can't wait to see Kellin and the boys.” she grinned.
“Erm, babe? They went home. There's a different band with us.” I didn't want to tell her because she was a major fan of the Asking Alexandria lads. I knew she'd had a fit and faint as soon she saw them. We soon got back to the bus. Oli and Hannah first went on. I stood outside with Frances. “Now, when we get on the bus. Remember to breathe okay?”
“Alright?” With that she got on the bus. I followed her quickly. She had stopped in her tracks. Jaw dropped. Then she screamed. I mentally punched myself in face. She was seriously embarrassing me. “A-as-asking Ale--” With that she turned to me and engulfed me in a hug. I mouthed an apology to the guys who were laughing.
Once we'd settled in and set off again we returned to back what we were doing. Which involved sitting around being lazy, eating junk food and watching movies. I wasn't really watching the movie though, I was too busy thinking. Thinking about how to bring up the topic of excitement to Kellin. Thinking about how to tell James that me and him would never happen again. I had no idea what to do. I was totally split down the middle with this situation.
“Ads!” A shout snapped me from my thoughts. I blinked a couple of times, trying to regain focus of the real world. “Jesus, you zoned out big time.”
“Sorry babe, what is it?”
“We're going out, we've arrived. Go get your pretty little ass ready.” Frances grinned at me. I quickly jumped, rummaging through my case. I found the shortest and tightest skimpy black dress and heels I could find. Running to the bathroom, I turned the shower on and climbed in. Closing my eyes, I put my head back, sighing as the water seemed to make all my problems disappear down the drain. Quickly finishing up, I got out. Drying myself off I slid into the dress. I shoved my hair up into a messy bun and dried it like that, I was determined to make myself look as sexy as possible. Yes I was talking about getting back with Kellin, but I wanted some excitement right now and I knew how to get it.
Applying my make-up, it was classy but sexy. Lining my lips, I applied a deep red lipstick. Puckering up, I smirked at myself in the mirror. I looked hot, if I must say so myself. Grabbing the hairspray, I put a lot of it on. Along with one of the boys wax, scrunching it up even more. Throwing my reflection a wink, I slipped on the heels and walked out. I spotted everyone else was ready and talking to each other.
Frances was the first one to turn around. She gave me a smirk and a nod of approval. My uncles just sort of looked of me with disapproving looks. The rest, well you can imagine what they were saying. But one person caught my eye, that's right you guessed it. The one and only James Cassels staring at me.
This was going to be one hell of a fun night.
