Tony POV~

Dammit! I think Emery likes Vic. When I walked onto the bus they were laughing. It may have been just the Pantera joke but still, they are spending so much time together! What if they are... No! They just met! They wouldn't be doing that shit! I have to talk to Emery at some point. I just don't know when! I can't do it now because she is asleep. So is everyone else, except for me. I open my eyes and sit up in my bunk. I'm careful not to hit my head on the bunk above me, I tend to do that a lot. It looks like we are on the road again. Our driver is some old guy named Bob. He is pretty nice except for in the mornings. He is very grouchy in the mornings. I step out of my bunk to see that Jaime is awake too. I take a seat by him on the couch. "What's keeping you awake?" I asked. "Memories of Kat." He said.

Kat was his high school sweetheart back in the day. She went to Harvard for college, but when she moved back to San Diego we were on tour. I knew her too because she came to the guitar shop a lot. She always looked but never bought anything. Just like Vic.

"Well turtle, what about you?" Jaime asked me. "Emery." I whispered so Vic and her wouldn't hear. "She is a bitch." Jaime replied. "No she isn't!" I snapped quietly. "Damn why you got your panties in uh uh-" Jaime stuttered. "A wad?" I finished. "Ya that." He said. That's another phrase to add to the "Jaime Can't Talk Good List". "You know why!" I said. "Ohh because you like her." Jaime smirked. He is the only person I have told about my little crush so far. "So little schoolgirl, what are you going to do about Vic and Emery?" Jaime asked, still smirking. "Nothing, because they aren't together. They are just friends!" I replied. "Sure they are." Jaime said. "Well I'm going to try and sleep before everyone wakes up." I said while standing up. "I guess I will too." Jaime said as he gulped the rest of his beer down.

Vic POV~

I was having sweet dreams of touring and Emery until I woke up. I heard whispering so I quietly sat up in my bunk. I think it was Jaime and Tony. I heard a few words like "Emery" and "friends" and "schoolgirl". I don't know why they are talking about Emery. I might have a clue why they are talking about friends and schoolgirls. Jaime and Tony always talk about their old friends and what illegal things they did with them. Jaime is probably calling Tony a school girl because of his crush on Jenna from Tonight Alive. He always listens to them while we warm up. I usually hear "Listening" in his earphones minutes before we go on stage. I shrug to myself. They are probably just having a normal Jaime and Tony conversation. I go back to sleep.

Emery POV~

I finally wake up from a peaceful slumber. That was the best sleep I have had since, well, ever! I think it helped that I just broke down to Vic about my life. I have been bottling up for so many years! I check my phone for the time. Wow! 9:30 in the morning! I hop out of my bunk. It looks like we made it to the venue. This Wild Life has made it also. I've started listening to them and they are pretty good! It looks like someone left a note for me on the couch. It reads:

Dear Emery,
The guys and I have loaded everything into the venue. We are currently at McDonalds eating breakfast. We will bring you back something. If you need anything just call one of us. Except for Jaime, he blocked you on his phone because we prank called him with your phone.
Love, Vic.

I remember when we prank called Jaime! It was the funniest thing! We told him we were Pizza Hut and his order could not be delivered because he was stupid. We may have been a little drunk. It was still funny though. I guess he didn't appreciate that little call. Oh well!
