The World Tour

I watched as he danced across the stage, the kids at these shows adored him. They adored all of them actually, they screamed the lyrics so damn loud and made sure they made their mark as a date on the tour. No one wanted to be forgotten. And Vic didn’t like to forgot a single one of them. It makes me happy that he feels so passionate about the fans.

He jumped back onto Tony’s box, looking over to me and smiling. Thing’s are weird for us right now, ever since our kiss a few nights ago, he’s been kinda odd with me. Even though he was the one who kiss me, it’s like it was my fault for not stopping it. Maybe I should have, but why on earth did it happen in the first place. What happened with me and Vic is in the past, nothing else can happen.

“What’s up Portlandddd” Vic screamed into his microphone, the crowd when crazy. It’s kinda awesome to see how much of an influence he has over crowds because I just remember him as the dorky kid I dated in high school.

“Do you still like him?” I heard from beside me. I looked and noticed it was Brian, I didn’t know how to answer that one. My gaze fell upon Vic again.

“I don’t know, really I just don’t anymore” I sighed, my head felt weird saying that. “I need to stay away from him I think” I mumbled.

“You can stay as far away from him as possible but it’s evident that it doesn’t work. We were there after that break-up Lynn, it wasn’t just simple. You say it didn’t really affect you, but it did. And after all this time, you’re still into him. It’s okay though, I won’t tell anyone. And hey maybe that’s real love” Brian told me. I looked up at him again, confused but sad. Maybe he’s right?

I walked back to the green room and found Kellin in there with his daughter Copeland. He looked up and smiled, she looked at me and pointed. “Daddy, who’s that?” She asked.

“That’s Lynn, she sings in a band” Kellin smiled at me even more.

“Hey Copeland” I walked over and sat next to Kellin on the couch. She stood up and came over to me.

“You have pretty hair” She said, pointing to my hair.

“Oh wow, thank you. I think you’re hairs even prettier though” I told her, her beautiful little eyes lit up and she ran back over to her father. The door opened and a woman walked in, who I assume to be Kellins wife. “Mommy” Copeland called out and ran for her. I guess I’m right.

Kellin walked over and kissed her quickly. “Go knock ‘em dead” She said softly. He kissed Copeland and walked out the room.

They both looked over at me and the woman walked over, holding Copelands hand. They both sat where Kellin had previously been sitting. “That’s Lynn” Copeland said proudly.

“I’ve heard so much about you, I’m Katelynn by the way” She smiled at me and pulled Copeland onto her lap.

“It’s nice to meet you too, the both of you” I said to Copeland and Katelynn. Copeland hugged into her mom, it was really adorable.

“Stop being shy Cope” Katelynn said her the beautiful girl in her arms.

“She is literally just a mini Kellin isn’t she?” I was mezmerised by Copelands eyes. They are so damn beautiful.

“I know, it’s really comforting because whenever he’s on tour I feel like a part of him is still here with me. She is just a mini me of Kellin” She kissed the top of Copelands head. It’s adorable to see such a happy family.

“I’m gonna go get my stuff together, but it was great meeting you guys and hopefully see you again soon” I said standing up.

“Definitely, say bye Copeland” Katelynn said to her daughter.

“Bye!” She said excitedly, I waved at her as Iwalked out of the room.

As I walked out of the green room I realised that the show was over, Tony and Mike came off the stage and walked past me, sweaty and pumped from the show. “That was kick ass!” Mike high fived Tony.

“Was pretty good” Tony smiled at Mike. Jaime was in tow and then Vic came down the hallway.

“Lynn, party on our bus tonight” Jaime told me as he walked by. Vic looked at me and nodded. I smiled lightly and walked on, I had to go get dressed for this so called party on the ptv and sws bus.

I put on some high waisted jeans and a crop top. It’s my favourite outfit at the moment, I dunno why I just like skinny jeans though. My hair was actually okay from the show, being a support band is kinda useful since we don’t have to run around too much and aren’t on stage as long. After I was ready I went to the lounge area, everyone was sitting around. Well Alex and Brian were sitting with the Issues lads.

“Okay so Mila Kunis, Megan Fox or Jennifer Lawrence?” Alex asked Tyler.

“Oh that’s tough. I’d marry Megan Fox, fuck Mila Kunis and kill Jennifer Lawrence; even though it’d just eat my own testicles than hurt any of the three” Tyler laughed. I leanened against the counter.

“Is the party even staring any time soon?” I asked, feeling slightly impatient.

“I think so, we could go wait on their bus and just start without them” Michael suggested. We all nodded in agreement and left our bus to go over to their bus.

“Okay where’s the party at!?” Tyler went in first, beers in the air and slightly drunk already.

Jaime, Tony and Mike were sitting on the couches, beers covering the tables and counter tops. “Here, now that y’all have arrived” Mike threw his hands in the air.

Vic came into the livingroom area with a bottle of whisky and cups. “I like drinking whisky with my friendssss” He sung loudly. Everyone joined in and finished the next part of the song. The Sirens dudes came out (minus Kellin) and joined in too. The bus was kinda packed, making things interesting.

I watched Vic’s girlfriend walk over to him and cling to him, it’s kinda gross actually. The funny thing is, you can clearly see how much he hates it. She just can’t take the hint, I wonder how thing’s are between them now?

“Lynn you need to do some shots with me” Mike pulled me to the side. I looked at him with confusion. If I’m honest, me and Mike haven’t really spoken. Not since prom night, which is kinda odd.

“Shots of what?” I asked. He wiggled his eyebrows and poured shots of whisky. He poured five shots each. “Oh God, this is how I’m going to die” I mumbled.

“Don’t worry, tonight you’re going to learn to drink like a king and not die” He handed me the first shot. We downed it quickly, feeling the burn in my throat, making me cough.

“Oh, my God that is horrific” I sat the shot glass down.

“Number two” He handed me another. I threw it back quickly. And then another, until the five shots in front of me were gone.

“Yep, I’m gonna die” I laughed.

“No you’re gonna have a great night, party until you pass out and have sex with one of these guys!” He laughed.

“Mike!” I lightly punched his arm.

“Okay, the last part isn’t gonna happen but the first two are, and we are going to get over this awkward thing between us because I miss having you as a friend” He told me. I looked at him and then hugged him.

“I’ve missed you too Mike” I mumbled into his chest.

“Now, beer?” He asked. I pulled back and nodded.

“I’d love some” I told him.

He walked over and got me a cup of beer.

Vic‘s P.O.V

“Okay, is this it?” Lynn asked for the fifth time in a row, she is really drunk.

“Yes Lynn” Mike told her again. She threw the ping pong ball and it made it into the cup.

“I did it!” She shouted and jumped up and down on the spot. She turned and grabbed the first person closest to her, who happened to be me and hugged me. “I am the beer pong champion” She shouted, everyone laughed at her outburst. She was definitely the most intoxicated person at the party.

She didn’t let go of me, which kinda scares me. Jenna went to bed about an hour ago so luckily she isn’t here to see Lynn all over me. Lynn finally let go to get a drink of her beer, but then re-attatched herself to me. “Lynn I think you’re a bit drunk” I told her, she could barely hold herself up.

“No way, I’m fine” She pushed herself away from me and almost fell into the table. I grabbed her waist and pulled her onto her feet.

“You should go to bed” I said quietly. She doesn’t handle alcohol well as far as I’ve seen.

“No, I’m good here Vic” She tried to shrug me off so I let her. I don’t wanna cause a scene. As she pushed me off her someone walked onto the bus, a dude I’ve never seen before. Mike turned the music down and we all looked in this guy’s direction.

“Lynn” He said loudly. She looked up and the realisation covered her face. She grabbed onto her mouth and pushed past me to the bathroom.

I looked at the guy again and Alex went up to him. “Hey dude, I didn’t think you were coming?” The dude looked at Alex.

“I wanted to surprise her, I guess she’s surprised” He sighed.

I walked backwards to go towards the bathroom to check on Lynn. The dude decided to follow me. I got to the bathroom and this dude was right behind me. “Sorry who are you?” I asked, it came out much harsher than I intended it to sound.

“I’m her boyfriend” He said as if it has some sort of athority over me.

I knocked on the door and there was no answer so I turned the door handle and her boyfriend tried to push past me. “Whoa dude, don’t” I laughed. He looked up at me and gave me an odd look.

“Is your girlfriend in there?” He asked. “Didn’t think so” The door opened and Lynn stood there with a worried look on her face. She grabbed me into the bathroom and locked the door behind us. I can’t help but feel slightly smug about it.

“Vic I didn’t think he’d come after our argument and now I’m really drunk... he doesn’t approve of drinking. What am I going to do?” She panicked.

“Sorry to break it to you, but I think he knows” I said softly. She looked up at me with sad eyes.

“This is why he argued” She whispered. “He doesn’t like drinking and he thinks because I’m touring with loads of guys in bands that I’ll get drunk and cheat on him” She looked so scared of it all.

“Has he ever done anything to hurt you?” I asked with fear. Her eyes went wide and she shook her head no.

“I need to go to sleep” She panicked. I put my hands on her shoulders.

“Look, you need to sober up and then we’re going to have a chat about this, but first your boyfriend is out there and that needs to be dealt with” I told her. She nodded slowly and then let out a huge sigh.

“Here goes nothing” She mumbled. She unlocked the door and opened it, revealing a very angry looking dude.

“Lynn, what the Hell are you playing at!?” He shouted at her.

“Hey don’t shout at her” I told him. He looked over to me.

“Who do you think you are, this isn’t your business!” He yelled back at me.

“I’m her friend and guess what it’s my business when it’s on my bus on my tour, she’s under our supervision since she’s on our tour so dude, don’t shout at her” I told him, the fury beginning to rise up.

“That’s fair enough” He nodded in understanding, he then grabbed Lynn arm and began pulling her through the bus.

“Hey get off me” She told him, trying to push his hand off her arm. He wouldn’t let go though. He pushed through everyone in the livingroom.

“Mike stop him” I told my brother. Mike stood up and tried to stop this dude from taking Lynn off the bus but no one could get them in time.

I pushed past everyone and jumped off the bus. He let go of Lynn, “What the Hell do you think you’re doing Lynn, you’re getting out of your mind drunk with a bunch of guys. You are going to get yourself into a situation that none of us want” He shouted at Lynn, she stood in silence. Tears rolling down her face.

Pretty much everyone got off the bus to make sure nothing bad happened. “What situation is that huh?” She spoke up.

“One of them could easily take advantage of you and if you’re drunk enough then you might not be able to defend yourself!” He screamed at her.

“They’re not like that!” She shouted back. He shook his head a laughed.

“They’re shitty rockstars Lynn, of course they’re like that” He spat at her.

“Am I just a shitty rockstar too huh?” She shot back. He rolled his eyes and sighed.

“I was kinda hoping that after this tour you’d realise that you’re just not cut out of the touring life and come home to me, where you belong” He told her. She laughed really loudly, making me smile.

“Why would I do that, I’m happy for once. This tour is life changing and if you can’t back me up then please, fuck off” She looked him up and down.

What happened next is something I didn’t expect. He grabbed her by the hair and pushed her to the ground. Me and Mike both ran over to him and pushed him away from her. “Oh got your new boyfriends saving your ass now Lynn?” He laughed down at her, she sat on the ground. Her lip was burst and blood was pouring down from it.

“No, and we’re not new friends, pal. We’ve been friends for almost a decade, now fuck off or we will all personally kick your ass. Shitty rockstars aren’t nice remember” I spat at him. He looked at me and shrugged.

“You’re a skinny little freak, you’ve got nothing that I’m afraid of” He laughed.

“I’ve got thirteen friends right here, I’m pretty sure every single one of them would kick your ass right now for being such a disgusting human being. You’re not welcome anymore, if you’re seen anywhere near this tour then I will personally kick your ass, and then have you thrown in jail” I told him. I probably don’t look or sound intimidating but I had to get my point across.

“You better come home after this tour Lynn, I will burn your stuff if you don’t” He pointed down at her.

“I’ll buy her new stuff, now go!” I shouted at him. He shook his head and walked off. After he was out of sight I turned to Lynn, she was sitting on the ground crying.

Mike lifted her up and took her onto her own bus, right now I can’t even think of sleeping. I’m just so angry that anyone could think of being like that to Lynn.
