I followed the guys as they walked inside All Time Low's dressing room. I stayed behind them. "Guys!" Vic called as he ran inside.
“Ah, the Pierce the Veil guys decide to show up too,” one of the guys chuckled.
“Late for the first show,” another guy added. “You guys aren’t getting star struck are you?”
Jaime sighed dramatically. “At least we showed up at all. You know, we can’t keep wasting our precious time on useless sound checks and such small shows all the time.”
I rolled my eyes just as Vic did. “You guys are stupid,” he said.
“We love y-,” the second guy stopped halfway through his sentence when he noticed me. “Who’s that beauty right there?”
I blushed a little and looked down. Not another one of these guys. Mike wrapped his arms around me. “My girlfriend,” Mike said proudly.
“Damn it,” the guy mumbled. I pulled away from Mike and smiled.
“I’m not his girlfriend,” I laughed. I walked to the All Time Low guys and offered each of them my hand. “I’m Thea, nice to meet you.” I said once they'd all introduced themselves.
"And what are you doing here?" Jack asked easily.
"I'm doing tech, kind of," I explained.
"Not on your own. I'm not letting you screw up our set!" Jaime said playfully. I looked back at him and rolled my eyes. "Under full supervision I'm doing tech,"
"But you're watching for most of it," Jaime added.
"Seriously, is there any point in me talking Hime?" I complained.
"She's my cousin," Jaime told them.
"I'm his cousin," I agreed.
"That's where you get the dimples from," Jack grinned back at me.
"Anyway," I laughed. "Are you guys any good?" I asked as I sat in between Jack and Alex.
"We're amazing," Alex grinned.
"And obviously modest too," Rian smiled at me.
"I can tell this one is," I said and nodded at Jack.
"Hey, I am!" he complained.
"Is that why you keep sending me selfies?" Vic asked. I looked over and smiled at him. Vic sat opposite me and smiled back. I saw Mike talking to Rian and Tony and Jaime were with Zack.
"You know if you stand at side stage the fans will think you're a Pierce The a Veil groupie," Alex told me.
"I don't want to be a PTV groupie," I laughed.
"Why not?" Vic joked.
"You can be an All Time Low groupie," Jack smirked.
"I'd rather not,"
"Leave the poor girl alone, Jack!" Alex exclaimed jokingly.
"Sound check!" someone called. I looked over and saw someone waiting by the door.
"This is Thea!" Jack told him proudly.
"Hi," the guy did a little wave. I waited to find out his name but it never came.
"That's Matt. He's their tour manager," Vic explained for me.
"Thanks," I smiled.
"At least you're all in one place," Matt said. He waited by the door and All Time Low followed him out.
Not long after five guys walked in. Everyone looked at them and Vic got up to hug the one at the front. After he came to stand next to me. "This is why you were so excited," I teased.
"Obviously," Vic replied before he rolled his eyes.
"I'm Thea," I introduced myself. They all greeted me and I waited for introductions.
"This is Sleeping With Sirens," Mike told me.
"Jack, Gabe, Jesse, Justin. And I'm Kellin,"
"They can't speak for themselves," I laughed.
"No, they're my band," Kellin grinned.
"He's not really a dick, I promise," Vic said in my ear.
"I believe you," I smiled.
That night when Pierce The Veil were playing I'd been ordered to side stage. Not by the tech team or the tour manager, but by Jaime. According to him it's fine for me to help before they go on but if I screw something up when he's on stage I can screw up the whole tour. I doubt that, but I agreed. I watched them preform. I haven't seen them live for a while, since the early days. And Vic and Mike weren't even with Jaime and Tony. They were good actually, better than I was expecting. Mike was killing the drums. Tony was unbelievable. Vic's voice is sensational. And Jaime has dropped his bass once. I don't think anyone noticed though.
I tilted my head to the side and looked at Vic. He was constantly moving around the stage. His hair was over his face and his bracelets were scattered all over his wrists. They were on the last song now.
"Having fun?" someone asked in my ear. I looked up and saw Jack.
"Are you like stalking me or something?" I smiled.
"You wish," he smirked.
"I am,"
"You are what?"
"Having fun," I rolled my eyes.
"You are now," Jack grinned.
"Someone's a little over confident," I joked.
"I'm allowed to be. That's what being a rock star does to you,"
"Why isn't Jaime like that then?"
"Because he has a girlfriend,"
"And you don't?"
"Why? You offering,"
"Maybe there's a reason you don't have a girlfriend," I joked.
"Nah. I'm more of the boom and run type,"
"Boom and run," I echoed. "You've toured so much you must have a hate club by now," I laughed.
"No. I'm too charming and irresistible,"
"Keep thinking that,"
"It's not me, the voices tell me I'm hot,"
"I hope you're joking," I said easily.
"I don't know. Why don't you give me a once over?"
"No thank you,"
"Come on, Thea," he urged. "I could cook you a pasta dinner first,"
"Then what?"
"See where we go," he grinned.
"Don't make me get a restraining order, Barakat,"
"What about if I get you really drunk at the after party tonight?"
"Good luck to you. In college I could drink any guy under the table,"
"What's your poison?"
"JD and cola," I replied. "Or actually JD and anything,"
"Damn, I like a woman who can handle her Whiskey,"
"Leave me alone," I laughed. "I'll get you beaten up,"
"Who by?" Jack scoffed.
I looked at the stage and saw Vic running towards me. "Vic," I told Jack easily.
"What?" Vic frowned.
"You can beat up Jack for me. Right?"
"Oh yeah," he grinned.
"I'd do it myself but I'm getting a restraining order against him," I joked.
"Don't worry, I've got it," Vic smiled widely and playfully punched Jack.

P.S.
I may have threatened to make Vic leave the band if Simone was mean to My Thea in her chapters. But she threatened to have Vic get pregnant. I don't know how this works . . . ;)
