The Tour Life Of Adriana Perry
Tour Day 3 - 4; Problems & Fun
Day 3. We were all up early ready to set off up to Scotland. I'm not sure why they don't keep here doing all the places round here before sending us up there. I knew how the day would be spent. Mike and Jaime would sit in front of the television eating junk food and playing video games, Vic would be doing all them vocal exercises he does.
“Do you want to stay here with me or join your uncles?” He was kneeling in front of me, wide grin on his face. I pointed to him. He stood up, picking me up and taking me to back room. “Sit there, I've got you a surprise.”
He returned with a mini guitar. “I'm going to teach you how to clean it and maybe afterwards I'll have them stop and we'll go get ice cream baby girl.”
A hand waving in front of my face, snapping me from the memory. “You zone out a lot.” laughed Justin who was stood in front of me. I stuck my tongue out and went to living area where Mike and Jaime was. I sat myself on the floor, beside Jaime's legs. Probably a bad place considering how competitive he gets.
“Hey that's mine!” he called as I grabbed some of his food.
“You snooze, you lose.” I shrugged, turning my attention back to the screen. After a while I was beginning to get bored, just like I thought my two uncles were arguing over a video game. “Guys, I'll settle this. Whoever loses has to go against me.” Both of them started laughing.
Just then Vic came in, followed by a couple of the Sleeping With Sirens lads. Kellin was still in his bunk, he hadn't been out all day. Maybe he was mad at me for something? I shook the thoughts from me. The game soon got underway, I was kind of hoping Mike would lose. I look around for my phone, I had to get a shot of them like this. Realising it was probably still in my bunk, I headed down to retrieve it.
Flinging the curtains open, I saw Kellin flicking through it before typing something on it. “Are you a vampire or some shit?”
“I'm resting. Anyway, I see you're getting friendly with a certain member of another band.” So I did do something to make him mad. “If I remember rightly, he goes by the name of B--”
“Ben Bruce, yes I talk to the AA lads. Why?” I mentally rolled my eyes.
“He's bad news. I don't want you speaking to them.” With that he hopped out the bunk and joined the others. I grabbed my phone. Was he really checking up on me? Stuffing it in my pocket, I headed back to hear a cheer from Mike. “Game over bitch.”
I sat next to him, taking the remote from Jaime. “I bet you 50 dollars you can't beat Perry over here.” Vic chimed.
“Make it 100 and you've got yourself a deal.” Mike snorted, oh he has no idea I'm the best at this game. Easiest 100 dollars Vic would of made. As the game got underway, there was a lot of shouting from us both.
I put my controller down as the game finished. “It's like taking candy from a baby.”
“How did you...what?” His mouth was open. I swear they always forget I was brought up as one of them. I knew everything trick they could pull during game time, I knew everything about them when they tour.

“Food is served gentlemen.” I said in the poshest voice I could do as I set the plates of food in front of them. Yes, I agreed to cook them meals. I wish I hadn't right now, I've cooked 4 different meals for them all which really is quite stressful when they keep pestering you earning them all a bar from the kitchen area when I'm cooking.
“Where's Kel?” I questioned realising he wasn't there. They all shrugged. He was still obviously avoiding me. I couldn't tell whether he was being jealous, possessive or protective. Maybe all three. Was it really that bad that I was talking to other bands? Shaking my head, I sat myself down by the couch and ate my own food. “So erm, Uncle Mikey?”
“What?”
“Still grumpy over the fact a girl beat your ass at a game of fifa?” I mocked. He laughed at me before putting a serious face. “I'm off out when we land in about 40 minutes.”
“Who with?” Prepare yourselves for the whole 20 questions or more I'm about to get.
“Meeting a friend or two.”
“Which friends?”
“Askin---” I stopped as I heard someone cough behind me. Of course it had to be Kellin. Someone up in that sky is seriously testing me right now. With an inward sigh, I admitted defeat early. Mike raised an eyebrow at me. I rolled my eyes in response and headed to the bunk area with my over jealous boyfriend. Which may I add is kind of cute, but it's annoying as hell. I didn't see the problem in spending some time with friends.
Kellin soon fell asleep, not long after we arrived. I carefully hopped down out the bunk. I was going out whether he liked it or not. Grabbing some clean clothes, I raced to the bathroom and took a shower. I felt myself fall against the wall, the tears slowly started. This is what happens everytime I climb in the shower, I let all my feelings and emotions out. After a good 30 minutes I climbed out, drying myself down and putting on my new clothes.
“You can go get changed.” I heard my Uncle Mike say.
“But--”
“Now young girl, that's too short. Would you--” I stopped him mid sentence by putting my hand up. I quietly got some more 'suitable' clothes and changed into them. I heard Kellin stir as he began to wake up, just at that second I heard Matt from Bring Me The Horizon's voice. I raced through the bus, grabbing his hand and leaving. I think the others got the message and followed us.
***
I felt my phone vibrate against my thigh; pulling it out of my clutch I looked at the screen. Kellin . Answering it, I instantly regretted it. “Kel? Kel?....Jesus, shut up. I'm out with my uncles and the others. Yes Ben is here with the rest of his band. I'm a big girl, now either join us or stay where you are.” I snapped, putting the phone down before he had chance to respond.
I stood up, storming up to the bar. I could understand him being like this if it was Dylan, but it's not him. I felt an arm snake across the bottom of my back. I looked up to see a smiling James. I flashed a small smile back, shouting my order to the bar man. The second the glasses were put in front of me, I emptied them. I ordered 2 more. “Adriana!!” I turned to see Jaime stood on table not to far away, waving at me. I laughed, waving back.
Quickly downing my other two drinks, I headed back over. James still attached to my side. They all knew I was off limits, but even more so now I was a taken girl. The last time I saw James, we had a minor hook up so I was glad it wasn't awkward between us. I spotted Kellin walk through the door, I pushed James' arm from me, nodding my head. He nodded in reply.
“I'm sorry.” I heard his voice. Without a thought in the matter, I grabbed the back of his head, pulling him in for a quick and urgent kiss. As we separated, he grabbed my hand, squeezing it tightly.
“Look who I found!!” I called over the music as we joined the others. A loud cheer came from the table. Kellin sat down, pulling me into his lap. The night went slow at first, the odd eye contact with James. There was something weird about him now. He wasn't as talkative. “Smoke anyone?” A few of them nodded, they went out the back. I felt a hand pull me back.
“Why is this suddenly awkward?” his thick accent coming through.
“Cassells, are you jealous?” I laughed, holy shit how much have I had to drink?
“Pshht, no.” Patting his shoulder, I headed out back. The others were talking between themselves. I felt my uncle's gaze on me. I couldn't stop giggling to myself. “Addy? You alright?”
“Fineeee, I'm just...I just...” I couldn't finish my sentence as I began to feel myself go. I put my hand against the wall to stop myself. I heard a few voices, telling me I had to go back to the bus. Everything seemed to blur, I began to feel sick. My eyes were feeling heavy.
“I'm taking her home.” I felt someone help me walk through the club. My head was spinning, everything was a blur, I felt giddy, sick. I felt every emotion I've been hiding begin to flow through my body. My feet suddenly stopped as I was settled down. “I'm sorry, it had to be done.”
Blackness hit.

“Good morning! This doesn't usually get done, but I'm doing a random drugs test. I am led to believe someone is taking some heavy stuff. So take one of these and go do your business.” We were all sat in the living section. Out tour manager stood before us. I could barely keep myself awake, my head hurt, everywhere hurt. I was the first stand up, everyone was watching me. I spotted two police officers searching the bunk area.
After doing my business, I took the bottle back. Once everyone had done, we were told to go inside the venue. From what I could tell, the police hadn't found anything. But I had a bad feeling, everyone was watching me. I'd even caught my uncles shaking their heads at me. Something wasn't right. “Hey baby...”
“What's with everyone giving me funny looks today?” I asked Kellin.
“They think you're using again.” I spat the water out of my mouth. My jaw dropped, did I hear him right?
“I haven't taken a thing.” I was positive I hadn't taken anything. Of course panic struck me, because they'd kick me off the tour. I couldn't believe what was going on. Everything around me seemed to speed by. I watched the other bands have sound check while I gazed at the staged, zoning out into my own little word.
“Adriana? Can I have a word?” My tour managers voice snapped me from my thoughts. I nodded and followed him. “We've had your results back, now I need you to be honest with me. Have you been taking again?”
“No, that's a definite.” I said confidently. I knew I was right.
“We'll keep this between us, but it seems then you have been spiked. Keep an eye out next time.” With a small nod, he walked away.
If only I could remember.
“Do you want to stay here with me or join your uncles?” He was kneeling in front of me, wide grin on his face. I pointed to him. He stood up, picking me up and taking me to back room. “Sit there, I've got you a surprise.”
