Alexis's POV

~2 weeks later

Today was the day that we were finally heading to Soundwave in Australia and we were very excited. Seeing as we were currently in Kuala Lumpur, it was only a couple of hours to get to Australia. Soundwave lasted for a few weeks and we did get some time off when in Australia, probably when we change locations. We were preparing to get on board which was providing difficult because the equipment was taking a long time to check in. It's normally a lot more hassled when there's lots of bands leaving a country but seeing as it was only two bands, it wasn't too bad. It's going to be a nightmare when we leave Australia once Soundwave's finished, there'll be about 40 or so bands all attempting to leave at the same time. Hell, right there. We managed to check all the band equipment after an hour and we were now loitering around the waiting room.

"I'm going to go and get coffee, anyone want some and want to come with me?" I ask my group. Many people murmur their coffee orders and I make a mental note to remember them all.

"I'll go with you, you'll need help carrying it all back." Jaime says and walks towards me.

"Thanks Jaime." I say and smile at me.

"No problem amigo! Ariba!" He says shrilly and we walk over to the coffee shop.

"God, you're really hyper. You have been for the last two weeks."

"Yeah, I've been feeling a lot better since I broke up with Britany. I'm glad you finally got me too see sense and I finally got my head out of the clouds."

"You did. I'm glad you're happier now."

"I do feel a lot better. It's as if a huge storm cloud that hovered over me has now gone." I smiled at Jaime and he grinned back at me. I was glad that my best friend was feeling a lot better now and that the real Jaime was back. We arrived at the airport coffee shop, ordered everyone's coffee and made our way back to the group.

"Alexis?"

"Yes, Jaime?"

"I need to ask you something."

"What is it?" We both stop about ten feet away from where our group is.

"Ermm... Do you like anyone right now?"

"Why are you asking?"

"Just curious, that's all." Well, that was a bit strange. Wait, does Jaime like me? No, he wouldn't. He recently split up from his girlfriend, I don't think he would have feelings for anyone right now. I nod my head at him and we both join the others. After giving everyone their coffee, our flight is called out.

"Right, who's everyone sitting with?" Vic asks us.

"I'm with Tony." Erin says.

"I'm pairing with Katelynne." Kellin says.

"I'll go with Gabe." Jack says.

"I'm joining up with Justin." Jesse says.

"I'll go with my brother." Mike says.

"Well Lex, looks like it's you and me." Jaime says and grins at me. I smile back and we head on to our flight. According to the flight attendants, there was a problem with our booking so we got bunked up to first class which we were all happy about. Throughout the flight, the group were having easy flowing conversations whereas between Jaime and I, there was awkward tension between us. Oh great. This plane ride will be fun.

~3 hours later

After a really awkward 3 hour flight, we finally landed in Australia. The atmosphere was tense betwen Jaime and I. Every time we made awkward eye contact, we always looked away within a few seconds. Even though we were in first class, there wasn't very much room for ourselves and we kept accidentely brushing our hands together. We would both turn red and glance in the opposite direction. Just when everything was okay, this happens. We leave the plane, grab our luggage and band equipment and head to our temporary tour bus. The tour bus itself looked quite nice on the inside and outside. The tour bus would be easy to find because on one side it had the PTV logo and on the other side, it had a picture of the band.

"Look, it's you." I say sarcastically pointing at the picture.

"Haha, funny." Mike says.

"Who's that sexy person on there? He looks better than my boyfriend." Erin says pointing to Tony's portrait.

"Haha, hilarious. You're such a comedian." Tony says in a monotone voice. Erin smiles sweetly at him, kisses his cheek and Tony starts smiling again. Why can't I have an adorable relationship like that? Well, I could... with Jaime. Wait, what? We enter the tour bus and have the problem of bunk situations.

"Right, seeing as there's four bunks, two sets of two need to pair together." Joe, the tour manager says. (I'm not sure if this is his real name.)

"I'm obviously bunking with Tony." Erin says.

"Well, that's one sorted. Fuentes, who's sharing with who?" Joe asks the three of us.

"Alexis can bunk with me." Jaime says and props his arm on my shoulder. What?

"Right, now that's sorted, you can unpack and relax." Joe says and dissapears. If a three hour flight wasn't bad enough, I now need to bunk with Jaime for about a month. Brilliant.
