SONG - WE LIKE IT LOUD BY SLEEPING WITH SIRENS

ELLE'S POV

I've always loved festivals, but I never thought as a teenager that I would be behind the stage, waiting for my boyfriend to get off stage. It's crazy. But here we were.

The plane glided into a smooth landing, which I found peaceful, or I would have except there was a vice grip of a hand attached with strength to my upper arm and a hyperventilating Victor with his head rested on my shoulder. Flying had always made him uneasy and I felt so sorry for him, having to face his fears regularly just for work. It must be painful, but I was simply glad to be there. The plane came to a standstill and passengers started to stand up to file off the plane, with a hyper Jaime in the midst.

Vic and I waited for the crowd to clear before gathering our stuff off the plane, where we were guided into the airport to meet a crowd of squealing fans. As we were escorted out and thrown into a van, I heard the cries of fans die out as we all made our way to festival grounds.

"Tony, are you ok?" I looked over to him and he looked a few shades of miserable. I knew he was missing her.

"Yeah. I'm ok." He forced a smile and gazed out of the window. It wasn't long until we were dragging wellies onto our feet and commuting through a soggy field. It brought back the memories of being one of the many young people who'd be getting drunk here in the next few days.

We eventually reached a selection of large tents where we left all of our bags. It was only temporary as we were booked into a hotel for each night. Then, the boys were offered a rehearsal and sound check after being informed that all the gear had arrived from the other van, so we made our way over, vic taking my hand to lead me ahead. It was exhilarating.

Music was already blasting from the many stages and I hadn't figured out who was playing what, but as we grew closer to the main stage, I heard very familiar lyrics from a very familiar voice.

"Oh my fuck it's Kellin!" Vic sounded ecstatic and his face lit up with excitement. "I am so fucking pumped! We haven't seen him since last year. This means.."

"King For A Day?"

"YES KING FOR A DAY!"

As we finally reached the stage, kellin had jumped down and was heading towards us.

"KELLIN!"

"VIC"

"I'VE MISSED YOU!"

"I'VE MISSED YOU TOO BRO!" They hugged it out before Kellin turned to me and threw his arms around me. "Elle! It's so lovely to meet you again! I have someone to introduce you to. This, is Antonia. She's my girlfriend. "

Out from behind, stepped a short girl, a few inches taller than me. Her long ginger hair was swept up into space buns, allowing a proportion of it to float down her back. Her eyes were a gorgeous grey-blue colour and her shy smile made her whole face light up. Her eyes were decorated with thick lack eyeliner which curved perfectly up into a wing. She had clearly mastered the art of eyeliner wings. I liked her fashion taste. Band merch over ripped leggings with some purple docs. She was utter perfection and she made me feel so small. She was beautiful, and I? Well I was just me.

"Elle, is it? Vic's girlfriend? Kellin told me that you'd probably be coming. What a relief it is to have another girl around!" We both laughed. Being with a boyband was fun but the lack of female contact was excruciating. I wasn't great around new people but her attitude and smile made me feel so reassured and comfortable. When I had first seen her, her beaty intimidated me but she was suuch a lovely person. Kellin put his arm around her and she dove her head into the crook of his neck.

"You two are honestly adorable but me and Kellin were kinda together first." Vic moaned.

"Fuck that, you two don't know the half of girl power." Antonia mocked and turned to me. "We all have a lot to catch up on. I mean, I'm guessing Kellin didn't tell you about me?"

"Kellin and I haven't seen each other for a long time. He metioned it in passing, I swear." Vic crossed his heart with his pointing finger in mockery.

"Well, I say that once you guys have sorted out everything for this evening, we should probably meet up and catch up." Kellin stated.

"God I have missed you. Fuck, why do we even seperate?" Vic faked a cry.

"Well, there is news on that." Kellin smirked, bewildering us.

"On what?" Vic was about as confused as I was.

"Seperation."

"What do you mean KQ? You're worrying me now." Vic frowned at him.

"Well, after Jesse left and now we have Nick, we kinda want to move ouselves as a band. Nick used to live in your area and we were thinking, at least temporarily, moving closer to you guys."

"SERIOUSLY?!" Vic was ecstatic.

"I mean, me and Antonia have been wanting to get a new place, we've been wanting a change of scene. There are people we want to get away from and I think to move near you guys would be awesome. Justin obviously shares a flat with Jack and his girlfriend so they'd probably move with us. We'll see anyway. I mean, as a band we don't need to constantly be together. You're only a few hours drive away from us as it is." He snook his arm around Antonia and I grabbed Vic's arm and rested my head on his shoulder then.

"I can tell you really like her." Vic whispered, rather loud to Kellin.

"Yeah." Kellin looked down at Antonia. "She's my fucking queen."

"Queen of what?" Antonia looked amused by his comment.

"Ugh, I don't know. Zimbabwe?"

"Does Zimbabwe even have a monarchy?" She questioned.

"I don't even care." Kellin laughed and he waved us off as we headed to the stage to sound check. I could tell this festival was going to be awesome. More and more bands began to arrive as we soundchecked. We were on just after Kellin and the guys, much later into the evening. Crowds weren't allowed in until 5:00pm. An hour before the first band opened up, which happened to be Bring Me The Horizon. I was excited to see Oli and the guys again. The day after we got a day to enjoy the festival and luckily for us, All Time Low and Tonight Alive were on the second day. They'd be here later this evening and we'd get a chance to watch them. Plus, me being here meant A Love Like War to the extreme!

This was going to be a long touring week!
