Audelia's POV:

,,To us!" We all said in unison, our glasses clinking together as we raised them to our lips. The tequila shots slid down my throat, leaving a burning sensation in their wake. I grabbed the lemon wedge next to my hand and squeezed it before popping it into my mouth, wincing at the sourness.

,,That was an incredible tour," James cheered, his words slightly slurred from the alcohol. ,,Especially you, Lia. You rock." Lars chimed in, clearly drunk from his fourth shot. "He's right, you are amazing Lia. And I hope you'll continue to rock alongside us for many years to come."Cliff reclined in his chair, adding, ,,You deserve all of this. We're here to make your dreams a reality."

I leaned my head onto Kirk's shoulder, closing my eyes and taking deep breaths of his familiar scent. This was what I had always wanted - to be on stage with my best friends and make music that touched people's hearts.

But Lars interrupted the moment with his rumbling stomach. ,,Do we even have any food here? I'm starving."

I rolled my eyes but couldn't deny that I was also feeling hungry after performing and only having two shots of tequila in my system.

,,I don't think so, but I can go get some," Cliff offered, the most sober out of all of us. The others were stumbling and barely able to stand straight.

,,I'll come with you," I said suddenly, feeling the need to stretch my legs and get some fresh air.,,Nooo, baby, don't leave me," Kirk whined playfully as I got up from the couch.,,Don't worry love, I won't be gone long. Just long enough to grab some food for all of us," I reassured him, leaning down to place a quick kiss on his lips.

,,Get me some chips," Kirk mumbled, already starting to doze off. ,,I will, love. Anyone else have any requests?" I asked the rest of the group, making sure everyone would be happy with their snacks.

,,I could use a beer," James said before I could even finish my question. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. ,,Non-alcoholic request, James. We have enough alcohol in this room as it is. And besides, I'm pretty sure there's some beer somewhere around here if you look hard enough."

,,Fine then, I'll take a Snickers," he pouted, disappointed that I wouldn't buy him more alcohol.Cliff appeared behind me and asked Lars, ,,And what about you?"

,,I think I want some gummy bears, but not the sour ones," Lars replied after contemplating for a moment.

,,Okay, so chips, Snickers, and non-sour gummy bears. Anything else?" I confirmed, determined to get everything on the first trip so I wouldn't have to go back out again.

,,That's all for me," Lars said with a satisfied nod.

,,Yeah, and come back safely," James said, seating himself down on the plush couch. He reached for a bottle of what I assumed to be vodka and took a long sip from it. I sighed, already mentally preparing myself for the massive hangover these guys would have tomorrow. I loved them, but they drank like fish, especially James. He was going to be a huge pain in the ass tomorrow, but oh well.
