Chapter 15

Alexis's POV

~The next day

It was the final stop for Soundwave and this was the most crowded date yet. Concert viewers were absolutely everywhere. Adam and I struggled trying to get through the huge crowds of people to get to the shows we were photographing. We eventually made it, not without our bodies feeling sore from being barged constantly by people trying to get to their favourite band's show. We were both stopped a few times by people asking for our autograph and if we could take a picture with them which we agreed to. It felt pretty cool being asked this even though I was only a band photographer. Adam and I had photographed many bands sets today and it was finally getting dark which meant that we were going to photograph my brothers band which was our final one then we were done for the rest of the festival. A big crowd had gathered outside PTV's stage which meant that once again, Adam and I had to force our way through the crowds. We finally reached the front and started taking pictures when the guys came on the stage. halfway through the set, I saw Kevin (I finally remebered his real name! I'm too lazy to go and edit his name in the previous chapters so Joe is Kevin.) arguing with someone. The person shortly stormed off and John caught eye contact with me. I mouthed 'Are you okay?' at him. He shakes his head and nods to backstage, summoning for me to head back.

"Adam, Kevin needs to talk to me. I'll be back ina few minutes." I shout to Adam over the sound. Adam nods and I make my way backstage. After a few minutes, I come face to face with John.

"What's the matter? is everything ok?"

"I just got told that this stage is being shut down."

"What? Why? None of the other band's stages are being shut down."

"I know that and it isn't fair. I never got told why, I just got told that the stag has been shut down."

"Well, that's pretty shit." I mutter.

"Can you go on stage and tell Vic when this song finishes?"

"Sure." John sighs and walks off to god knows where. I turn to see PTV ending Besitos. Before they can perform another song, I walk on to the stage which earns some cheers from the crowd. Vic looks to the side and looks confused when he sees me walk on. I wave to the crowd and approach Vic.

"What's wrong?" Vic asks me, tilting the microphone away from us so the fans don't hear our conversation.

"Kevin just got told that your set's been cancelled and the stag is being shut down and he doesn't know why."

"Oh." Vic looks gutted and I feel sorry for him. It always sucks when one of their sets get cancelled.

"Alright, thanks. I'll just tell the fans now." Vic says and turns to face the crowd when I walk off stage and nod to Adam to head backstage.

"Erm, apparently, our tour manager got told that our stage is being shut down and we're not allowed to play anymore." Vic says into the microphone. The crowd start protesting, Mike looks pissed and Jaime and Tony look disappointed.

"We come all the way from America and this is what we get. We're sorry." Vic says and throws the microphone over his shoulder. Jaime, Tony and Vic throw their guitars to the guitar techs and Mike throws his drumsticks on to the stage before storming off.

"Hey, what's happened?" Erin says as she sees PTV walk off stage.

"Kevin got told that their stage is being shut down and they're not allowed to play anymore."

"What? That's bullshit. All the other bands are playing, why can't they?"

"I have no idea. I'm as clueless as you are." We turn to go and find PTV. Mike was arguing with Kevin, Vic and Tony were sitting on one of the couches and Jaime was talking to the camera that was being used to film their documentary This Is A Wasteland, one of their lyrics from Hell Above about what had just happened.

"Alexis just told Vic that our tour manager found out that our stage had been shut down and we've been forced to stop playing." Jaime pauses for a few seconds and turns his attention to the fans outside. Many of them were still there, chanting one more song and reciting the lyrics to King For A Day.

"It sucks because our friends are still playing, yet we can't. Sorry Perth." Jaime says and Dan turns the camera towards the chanting crowd.

"Hey, you okay?" I hear Erin say to Tony. I decide to go and talk to Vic who looked miserable at what had just happened.

"How are you doing right now?" I ask Vic as I sit down beside him.

"Alright. I just feel a bit sad about the fact that our set got cancelled." We turned his attention to the fans that were still outside the stage reciting the lyrics for King For A Day.

"Wow. You have some pretty dedicated fans."

"Yeah, I do. It's a shame for them because they came to see us play and couldn't see the whole set. It sucks."

"Yeah, it does suck and it is a bad ending to Soundwave but don't let one bad show ruin your whole mood. You played a lot of Soundwave shows and they went really well, you have a UK and US tour to go to as well in a few months. Don't let this one dampen your mood."

"I won't now. Thanks, Lex."

"No problem Vic." Vic and I hug and he stands up to go and find Mike. Jaime sits down where Vic was and puts his head on my shoulder.

"I can't handle the flight back. 21 hours." Jaime whines then burys his head into my neck. I pat his back and comfort him for a few seconds.

"You can sleep on most of the flight. And we'll be sitting together and close to the rest of the
band, you'll be alright."

"Hopefully. How the hell did I manage to get a girlfriend like you?"

"I ask myself the same thing."

"Hey, I'm not a female."

"No. You're a shemale sexican." I wink at him and laugh at his horrified expression.

"Er.. no." He shakes his head and pulls me up so we can help pack away the band equipment and pack our suitcases again. Jaime was right. The flight will be hell. Most of the bands here are also flying back to America which means a couple dozen or so bands with a vast amount of band equipment and luggage trying to check in, put all of their luggage on board and get through security. Hell.
