Doll Face

~2 ½ months later~

Today was the day I would go on tour with Pierce the Veil. I was also informed that Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men, and All Time Low are going to be on the tour as well. It took a lot of convincing for my mother to let me go on this tour, but she realized how much this meant to me and what great opportunities could arise from this. We’ll be on tour for about two months.

Pierce the Veil arrived at my house and I nearly ran out the door with my bags. Waiting was agony. I said a quick goodbye to my mother and immediately got on the bus.

“Wow somebody’s eager.” Jaime commented once we got on the bus.

“Just a little.” I replied. “So which bunk is mine?”

“You get to have one of the top bunks.” Mike laughed. Apparently the top bunks were the worse to have.

“That’s cool. How long til we get to the first venue?” I asked.

“Less than an hour.” Vic answered. “I’ll help you unpack.”

“Vic you don’t have to baby me.” I told him.

“I’m not babying you. I just want to do something nice and make sure you’re comfortable.” he admitted then blushed a little. I pretended not to notice.

After Vic helped me unpack, we sat in the back lounge with the rest of the guys. We went over my setlist. I had written about thirty new songs and I narrowed them down to the twelve best.

“What time is the show?” I asked.

“Doors open at 6:30 and the show doesn’t start until 7:30.” Tony informed me. It wasn’t even noon yet.

“Are we going to do anything in the mean time?” I questioned.

“We’re gonna meet up with the rest of the bands and hang out.” Jaime said.

When we reached the venue area, all of us got out of the bus to stretch our legs. The Pierce the Veil bus was the last one to arrive. Everyone was sitting in lot on chairs and there were corn hole boards and beer bottles littering the grounds.

“Who’s this pretty girl you have with you Vic?” asked Ben Bruce. I nearly screamed. Ben Bruce just said I was pretty.

“Back off Ben. She’s underage. You can get arrested.” Vic informed him in a harsh tone.

“Technically where I’m from the age of consent is seventeen.” I joked.

“Calm down Vic.” Ben said and he walked over to give me a hug. I melted into his arms.

“I can tell by the way you’re looking at me that you’re a huge fan.” Ben observed. I nodded because I lost the ability to speak for a few seconds. He let me go and put his arm around me.
“I’m going to take you under my wing, literally. Let me introduce to everyone.” His accent was so sexy.

I looked back at Vic and he seemed pissed. Then Mike walked over to him and whispered something in his ear. Vic nodded and turned his head away from us. I wonder what Mike had said. Introductions weren’t really needed. I knew who everyone was. I gave every single one of them a hug. Austin Carlile even gave me a kiss on the cheek. I had tears running down my face.

“What’s wrong?” asked Jack Barakat.

“It’s been a dream to me my favorite bands and now it’s happening. It just doesn’t seem real. I’m scared I’m going to wake up and this is just gonna be another dream.” I confessed.

Danny Worsnop walked over to me and pinched my arm. “Ouch!” I yelled.

“See you’re not dreaming. This is real darling.” he told me.

The whole day was just pure happiness. I cherished every single moment. I took pictures with everyone. James Cassells handed me a Corona Ice which Vic made a point to take out of my hand.

“Elena is only seventeen guys.” Vic announced.

“Don’t be such an old man Vic.” James joked.

“Plus I was drinking when I was fifteen.” Alex Gaskarth chimed in.

“We have a show tonight.” Vic reminded everyone.

“We’re not going to get drunk.” Danny said. “At least not too drunk.”

“I agree with Vic.” Austin interrupted.
“Hey!” I yelled and stood up. “I just won’t drink right now. I’ll save it for tonight.”

“There it’s settled!” Ben said throwing his hands in the air. He sat down in my seat.

“I was sitting there.” I stated. Ben pulled me down on his lap and wrapped his arms around my waist.

“Better?” he asked. Our faces were only inches apart. I blushed bright red.

“Mhhm.” I said. We stayed like that until it was time to get ready for the show. I couldn’t help but notice thee few times I would look at Vic that he was glaring at Ben. I hope I wasn’t about to start drama.
