Blow The Candles Out

Alex’s POV

I looked at the time, 11:09pm, was it too late to call Emily and ask her to come on tour? What if she was sleeping? I stopped over-thinking and I grabbed my phone off my bedside table and dialled Emily’s number,

“Yello?” She answered sounding like she just woke up, nice Gaskarth

“Shit sorry did I wake you?”

“Alex we’ve been through this, I don’t sleep.” She laughed, “Anyway whatcha want?”

“I was wondering if you wanted to come to Europe with us on our next tour…?”

“I thought you’d never ask!” She quietly squealed. Thank god.

“I hope you’re prepared to share a bus with smelly-assed guys for another two months!”

“I’ll be sure to bring lots of scented candles and air freshener then.” She laughed, “And most importantly I’ll get to spend my birthday with my favourite person in the world!”

“By person you mean me right?”

“No dumbass, Jack.” She paused for a moment, “Of course you!”

“It’s getting late, I should let you get your beauty sleep.”

“What are you implying? That I need sleep to be beautiful?” she gasped,

“Mayyybe.”

“Go to sleep dickhead.” She laughed,

“Fine. Night gorgeous.”

“Night dickhead.” She laughed again then hung-up; she must enjoy calling me names. Another two months to spend with Emily, hopefully everything will go okay.

Emily’s POV

I checked the calendar, June 7th, a month till my birthday and a week till tour. I had already packed and was pumped, I was only a little excited, but unsure why, I’d already been on a tour with the guys, well I guess once you go on tour you never go back. There was a knock at my door; I turned to see Zack,

“So I heard that my little baby sister is joining us on tour again!” He smiled walking into my room,

“Who said that?” It’d been a week since Alex invited on tour, I guess Zack hadn’t got the memo,

“Everyone. They’re all so excited for you to be coming back on tour.”

“Really?” I thought a bunch of guys would be bummed about a girl ‘crashing their man time’

“Oh yeah. Jack won’t shut up about it, he’s gained an unhealthy attachment to you lately.”

“Awh he’s a cutie.” I giggled, “By the way, how’d the date with Alison go?” I quickly asked as he began to leave the room, Zack had been hanging out with Alison a lot recently ever since tour ended, must be getting serious.

“Great! She’s just so amazing!” and he was still head-over-heels in love with her,

“I’m so happy for you Zack.” I walked up to him and gave him a hug. Alison and he were the perfect couple; they got along so well and were inseparable.

“Thanks Em.”

~One week later~

“Emily!” The whole band and crew yelled as I walked onto the bus, I guess everyone was excited about me being on the tour again,

“Hey guys!” I yelled back before getting almost tackled to the ground by a bunch of men. They all seemed a little too happy to see me, but I didn’t mind the affection from them. I chucked by bag in my bunk and began unpacking it slightly,
