Don't Make This Easy

“Aw, they're so cute and peaceful. Should we wake them up?” Jenna whispered.

“Nah, they were up all night.” Jaime whispered back to her.

“Doing what?” She asked, laughing a bit.

“Just talking.” Vic told her. “She has trouble sleeping when we're on the road sometimes so he’ll just stay up with her and they'll talk and watch tv until they pass out.”

“Oh that's sweet.” She cooed. “I still think we should wake them up. It's already noon and I'm bored, I need someone to go do something.”

“Go away, I'm sleeping.” I mumbled into Tony's chest.

“Well good morning sleeping beauty.” Jenna laughed. “Come get food with me, then we're gonna go do something fun.”

“No, I'm sleeping.” I said again.

“Come on, get up.” She whined. I sighed but nodded at her.

“Go, I'll meet you at catering.” I said. She smiled and ran off the bus. I sat up and stretched, earning a rather pathetic face from Tony.

“What?” I laughed.

“I was comfortable.” He said with a pout.

“That sucks, we can't sleep all day.” I said as I got up.

I went to my bunk and grabbed clean clothes. I changed quickly and brushed out my hair then ran off the bus and went to find Jenna at catering.

“Oh good, you actually made it.” Jenna said as I walked up to her.

“Well yeah, you know that once I'm awake I can't go back to sleep.” I said, rubbing my eyes under my sunglasses.

“I don't know, you guys looked pretty cozy. I think if I didn't make you get up and meet me here you would have gone back to sleep.” She laughed.

“Oh whatever. I'm here now, so what are we doing after we eat?”

“Honestly I don't know, I just wanted to hangout before the set and press and all that.” She said. I laughed and shook my head as I grabbed a plate.

“Oh Jacelynn.” I heard Jack say from behind me in a singsong voice. I turned around and smiled at him.

“What's up Jackie Boy?” I asked.

“I have been instructed by your loving cousin to tell you that you are to join us for a fire and some grilling tonight, or else you will sorely regret it.” He said, trying to sound formal. I laughed and shook my head as I got my food.

“I don't know Jack.” I said.

“Come onn, you haven't hung out with us once this whole tour.” He whined. “Hell, you used our shower and you were gone so quick that I didn't even have a chance to see your boobs.”

“Good, you don't need to see my boobs.” I laughed. “Can Jenna and all the boys come too?” I asked him. He nodded quickly, grinning wildly.

“Yes, yes. If it means you'll come, then fuck yes.” He said, speaking a mile a minute.

“Alright, then I'll be there. What time?”

“Nine, don't be late.” He said, giving me a quick hug and then running off.

“Well tonight should be interesting.” Jenna laughed. I smiled and nodded.

“Oh you have no idea.” I laughed. “With any luck you'll get to whiteness me being designated drinker.”

“Oh lord, is that something I want to see?” She asked.

“It's a sight to see, that's for sure.” I said.

We headed back to the bus to eat. I pulled out a couple lawn chairs for us and we sat down and ate. The guys were just coming back to the bus too, probably coming from an interview.

“Hey guys.” I smiled.

“How bad is the line at catering?” Jaime asked.

“You may want to wait a bit or go find food elsewhere.” Jenna said.

“Dammit.” He muttered.

“How do you guys feel about a fire, grilled food, and lots of booze tonight?” I asked.

“Is that even a question?” Mike asked. “Where at?”

“All Time Low’s bus.” I told him.

“Wow, you're actually going to hangout with them?” Vic said, sounding surprised.

“I was informed by Jack that if I don't then Zack is going to make me regret it.” I laughed. “So I told him I'd go but only if you all can come too.”

“Using us to hide from Alex?” Vic asked.

“Only to a certain extent.” I said.

“Alright, well we’re in.” He said.

“Sweet.” I smiled. “We're gonna go watch some sets now, I'll meet you guys at the stage for you.” I said.

“We’ll make sure your camera gear gets there.” Tony said. I thanked him and then Jenna and I left.

~*~

After the guys set and walking around with Jenna for a while we headed over to All Time Low’s bus. When we got there they had the grill and fire pit going. After we ate we started drinking and Jack was having fun telling stories from high school

“I shit you not, she did a two minute long keg stand, and didn't even puke.” Jack said, laughing and slapping his knee as he replayed the memory in his head.

“Longest two minutes of my life.” I laughed.

“Oh, and then there's the time that you pounded an entire bottle of JD in like thirty second.” Alex said, elbowing me. I laughed a bit and nodded.

“Alright, where are these drinking skills now?” Mike asked.

“Locked away because I've turned into a bitch when it comes to drinking.” I laughed.

“Yeah she's not fun anymore, she only drinks on tour now.” Jaime said, sending me a fake glare.

“I'm getting old, I can't keep up.” I said.

“You're literally younger than everyone here except Jenna.” Tony laughed.

“Okay well I feel old.” I said and stuck my tongue out at him.

After a little while we started playing truth or dare with. But not traditional truth or dare, there were two decks of cards, one for truth and one for dare. Basically you chose what you wanted and then someone picked a random card from the deck and read it to you. It made the game a lot easier because no one had to think of anything and having someone else pick your card made it so no one could bitch out and change their card.

A lot of stupid shit went down while we played, and we were all incredibly wasted at this point. Jack, as usual, ended up naked, ran onto the sleeping with Sirens bus and streaked through there screaming. We got Vic to smoke with Mike on a dare and it was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen. Rian went and pantsed someone, I couldn't tell who, but then chased him down and I thought he was gonna get punched but he didn't. Jaime did the Macarena, disturbingly well might I add, from start to finish. Everyone else was lame and chose truth, and after Jaime’s dance, it was my turn.

“If you choose truth, we’re fighting Jacie.” Jack warned. “I got naked for this shit, nothing gets worse than that.”

“I don't know, seeing Jaime do the Macarena was pretty disturbing.” I laughed.

“See, nothing to worry about then.” Zack said.

Everyone started chanting for me to take a dare so I took a big sip of tequila and gave in.

“Alright, alright. Give me a dare Jackie Boy!” I said.

“Fuck yeah!” He screamed. He grabbed the dare deck from Mike and grabbed a random card. “And your dare is…. drum roll please drummers.”

Mike and Rian both slapped their hands on their laps, giving Jack the drumroll he wanted as he dramatically flipped over the card.

“Kiss the person to your left for one minute.” He said. My eyes went wide the second he said that. Alex was to my left. Fuck. “Well that's fucking lame, I had to strip and you just have to kiss someone.”

I sat there for a minute, trying to decide if being the person to bitch out on a dare was really worth it. I never bitched out. Ever. It was unheard of. And I really didn't feel like having to chug any drinks or having to remove any of my clothes.

Finally, I made the potentially horrible decision to not bitch out. Instead though, I went to the right. We were all wasted so I was hoping that they would just rolled with it and not give me a penalty.

I grabbed the front of Tony's shirt and kissed him quickly before I regretted my decision and anyone could realize that I hadn't gone to the left. Much to my surprise he kissed me back without any hesitation and brought his hand to the back of my neck deepening the kiss.

I could hear everyone around cheering and cat calling but I ignored it. I was too busy mentally freaking out over the fact that I was kissing Tony Perry. I was kissing my best friend. What the fuck kind of great idea was this.

When the minute was up I pulled away quickly and Tony just laughed.

“That wasn't your left.” He said.

“That was so not your left!” Jack yelled.

“Yeah it was.” Vic said, holding his hands up in L shapes. “See, left.”

“Yeah, that's your left Vic. Not hers.” Jaime laughed. Vic just stared at his hands like they had betrayed him and mumbled “oh.”

“Party foul!” Mike howled. “Take a drink and remove one article of clothing, and shoes don't count.” I just shrugged and took my SnapBack off, setting it on the ground and picking up the bottle of tequila that was sitting at my feet. I took another big sip and then put the cap on it.

“No, hats don't count either!” Jack yelled.

“Too late, I took my drink, my turn is over.” I said, sending a fake smile his way.

“Fine.” He whined. “But I will see your boobs before the end of tour, mark my words Jacelynn!”

“Yeah, good luck with that Jack.” I laughed.

“Alright, Jenna’s turn.” Rian said.

After Jenna took her turn we played never have I ever for a little while, and by the time we decided it was time to head back to the bus, I was completely wasted. As we walked back to the bus, I wrapped my around around Vic's waist for support. He was still high as a god damn kite, and drunk on top of it. He giggled to himself and I looked up him.

“What are you laughing about?” I asked.

“You're so tiny.” He laughed, patting the top of my head. I slapped his hand away with my hat that I was holding.

“You're not much better.” I told him.

“Yeah but you're like, pocket sized.” He said, slurring his words a bit.

“And you, Victor, are high as a kite.” I laughed.

“Yeah, well, you're drunker than a sailor.”

“That is very, very true.” I said.

“Did you know that you kissed Tony?” He asked dramatically, suddenly holding my face in his hands. I just nodded. “Like you really kissed him.” I removed his hands from my face and nodded again.

“I'm very aware, I'm drunk but not that drunk.” I said.

“You owe me twenty dollars.” He said, holding his hand out.

“The fuck I do.” I laughed.

“You totally do.” He said as we walked onto the bus. Jaime, Mike, and Tony were still outside goofing off. “You kissed him therefore you owe me twenty dollars.”

“Dude, I wasn't even a part of that bet, nor will I ever be, and it was a dare, no way in fuck was I going to kiss Alex.”

“Fiinee.” He sighed. “I'm going to bed. Goodnight Jacie Rae.” He said, waving as he disappeared to the bunks.

We still had a little while before we had to get back on the road so I headed back outside and pulled my skates out of storage. I laughed as I watched Jaime doing the Macarena again while I put my skates on.

“You're way too good at that Jaime.” I laughed as I stood up and started skating around.

“Oh god, the daredevil has awoken.” Mike said dramatically as he watched me skate around. “Someone have 911 on speed dial, she's gonna end up dead in the next twenty minutes.”

I turned on my skates so that I was now skating backwards and flipped him off.

“I've done way worse than skating while drunk and I've never gotten hurt.” I told him.

“Yes, but have you been this drunk while doing those things?” Jaime asked.

He had his hands covering his eyes and was peeking between two of his fingers. I just laughed and shook my head.

“Stop being such a baby, it's fun.” I said.

About ten minutes later the driver told us it was time to head out so I put my skates back in storage and we all went back on the bus. I went over to the couch and laid down face first then someone sat down on my back.

“I don't know who's sitting on me, but I will puke on your shoes if you don't get off of me.” I said into the couch.

“Ew, gross, alright. Getting up.” Mike said as the weight on my back suddenly was gone. “Wanna get baked?” Mike asked, his voice suddenly ringing in my ears. I turned my head to see the he was crouched down next to me.

“No.” I said, shaking my head. The second I had laid down I got really tired and started to feel like shit.

“Aw, why not?” He whined.

“Too much alcohol.” Was all I said before I buried my face in the couch cushion again.

“Well, Jacie’s down for the count.” Mike announced with a laugh as he stood up.

“If you're going to sleep, turn the lights off.” I said loudly into the cushion.

The bus suddenly got really dark and I got even more tired. I could hear Jaime, Mike, and Tony talking quietly near the bunks but ignored it and drifted off to sleep.
