SONG - Missing You by All Time Low

VIC'S POV

"You guys were awesome last night. The fans literally went wild." I laughed at Kellin. We were grabbing some food from catering before going to set up for the afternoon.

"There was literally a girl so into it that she headbutted some guy and passed out." Elle pointed out.

"Jesus. Was she alright?" Kellin looked concerned as he put his arm around Antonia.

"Yeah, we made sure first aid sorted her out." Antonia said to him, her head sinking into his shoulder sadly. A moment later she got up and walked off. "I'm going for a walk. I'll be back in a moment."

"Dude, is she ok?"

"Zimbabwe's just having a bad day. That's all. I'll make sure she'd ok. She just liked to be by herself for a bit sometimes, so I leave her. She'll be back in a minute." Kellin put on a brave smile but I saw his worry right through it.

"You guys ok?"

"Oh, hell yeah! We're stronger than ever." This time there was a true smile on his face in reply to Elle's question. It reassured me a little at least. "Well, it's nearly 1:00pm now. We should all probably go and soundcheck before gates open at 4:00pm."

"That is very true. I don't even think Mike and Jaime are up yet."

"Jaime is. I saw him this morning." Kellin told me.

"Seriously? He got himself up?"

"He was with Jenna."

"That explains it all." I smirked.

"Wait, what?" Kellin looked confused.

"They're dating!" Elle said. I couldn't quite read her opinion of it. It was either ecstatic or over-the-top to stop her concern showing.

"That's so cute! I'm gonna go and find Antonia and the boys. We'll probably be done in about an hour and you're on after us so I'll see you then!" He ran off on his skinny little legs. I always envied how good his legs look in skinny jeans.

"I better call Mike and then we'll find the other two." I took out my phone and dialled Mike's number. It was likely he would b fast asleep.

"Hello?" A sleepy voice said through my phone.

"Mike, are you awake and ready yet?"

"Who is this?"

"Your brother." i said, patronisingly.

"Oh right. Vic?" I heard a sniff and presumed he was ready to fall back into oblivion.

"Yes, I am Vic. Your only brother." I sniggered at his tired stupidity.

"Well, I'm ready. Just waiting for you."

"So, we'll see you at the stage right now then?"

"What? Shit." I heard his voice awaken fully.

"Get your skinny little arse out of bed or you'll miss catering! We're soundchecking in an hour so get ready and we'll meet you to pick up all the instruments in about 20 minutes."

"Alright alright, I'm up but for catering, not you." He put the phone down and I laughed. Mike was the most chilled guy I had ever known. His relaxation was key to every day life and that's why he is so happily settled down and content with his life. I always tried to be there for Mike and help him grow up to be happy. I guess it worked. He always looked up to me and I was so scared he may have copied my self harm but he didn't once. It would have made me so guilty if he had of done.

"Next we need to locate Tony." I had known he would be up andready. He would have had his lunch earlier than us so I guessed he was probably visiting the ATL boys. We wandered over to their tent and surely enough, Tony was in a deep conversation with Zack. "Tony!"

"Victor!" He smiled as he saw me walk in.

"Everybody decent?" Elle said as she walked in.

"Jack's naked in his sleeping bag but he won'tbe up for a while." Zack shook his head in disappointment. Elle giggled. "He's a reckless man."

"How was your night in the tent? You're idiots for wanting to camp." I smirked.

"Hey, camping is very fun!" Zack faked being offended.

"In England? Man, I love this place but the weather is wild!" everyone agreed with me. "Anywa, I just came to tell Tone that we're sounchecking in an hour."

"Ah what a relief it is that we're not on today." a voice came from behind us all.

"Good morning Jack." Zack called.

"Is it? Is it really a good morning? I was awoken by people discussing work when I was having nice dreams of Alex." He looked genuinely pissed off but then his face dissolved into smiles. "I'm just kidding, however I am getting up and if you want to see all of me, that is fine. If not, clear off."

He winked at us as we walked out in laughter, Zack and Tony following us.

"I suppose I should go and see if Alex and Rian are up." Zack informed us. "I'll catch you all later. If I don't see you before hand, break a leg!"

"Oh, sorry Elle." he added, with a snigger, before walking off in the direction of the hotel.

"Ha, bloody ha." Elle said as we headed across the field. "Tony, have you seen Hime?"

"Not since he walked off with Jen this morning." He shrugged. "You're probably best to ring him."

"Ah, I will in a minute. We better make sure one of the mini vans is available. I am not carrying all of the drums here."

KELLIN'S POV

"Antonia! Hey, baby wait up!" She carried on walking but I was too fast for her and caught up in no time. I put my arms on her shoulders and stopped her from walking. "What's wrong?"

"Kellin, it's just a bad day!" She shouted and tried to escape my grip but I held her tight. I could see her getting panicky and her eyes were filling with tears. "Kellin."

"Come here." I pulled her into a hug and I felt her body shake as she sobbed into my chest. I sung lightly into her hair. "Can't promise that things won't be broken, but I swear that I will never leave."

I held her as she cried and it wasn't for several minutes until she calmed down enough to raise her head. Her eyeliner had smudged all down her face.

"Let's go back to the hotel, get your face all cleaned." I took her hand. "Are you gonna tell me what's up?"

"You'll miss soundcheck." She sniffed.

"Vic won't mind us running over by ten minutes. Now, spill." I said as we walked, heading for the hotel.

"I just feel so crappy today Kel."

"I'm here and you're stuck with me so we're gonna get through this." I sung again, this time a section from Two Chords, knowing it always calms her down. "I'm not leaving, i'm staying here."

It made her giggle.

"You're such a saddo."

"But you are my queen and I do this all for you. I owe it to you. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you." She smiled at me. A gentle smile that warmed my heart. "Thank you, for staying with me."

"Why the hell would I ever leave you?" She kissed my cheek, having to jump to reach. I pulled her up onto my back and gave her a piggy back ride all the way across the field. "Kel, put me down!"

"Never. I wouldn't want those Doc dirty." I laughed. "The Queen of Zimbabwe should never have dirty shoes."
