Mine chapter 13

"Five minuets!"
John, the tour manager of Black Veil Brides stuck his head out the window. "Five minuets!"
All of us were standing outside the bus chatting. Almost every bodies family was here, hugging them, wishing them good luck, giving things to keep them from being lonely on the road.
I tried to put on a happy face for Jake but it failed, I looked just as miserable as I felt.
"Come on C, its only a few months." Jake said.
"You'll be far away though." I said "In frickin Iowa or something."
"We don't go to Iowa...but still, you have your phone, Skype, YouTube..." he sighed.
"Youtube?"
"People are going to be posting videos of us live, silly." he said. "Me kicking ass at guitar mostly."
I chuckled before frowning hopelessly again.
"Atleast you came to say goodbye...Its not like any of my family will be coming."
As soon as he said that a red beaten up car pulled in behind Sammi's car. Jake groaned as we noticed it.
The driver's side opened, a girl with flaming red hair and sluttish clothing stepped out, walking over to us.
"Savannah." Jake said, glaring at her.
"I heard you were leaving so I came to say bye." she said in her annoying, high pitched girly voice.
"I think not talking to me for a couple years would've cut it." he snarled.
"God you're such a bitch." she said "I'm being nice for once."
"Speak for yourself, sweetheart."
She rolled her eyes.
"We have to leave soon and I'd rather talk to CC more, please." he said.
"Savannah crossed her arms. "Atleast say good bye to me?"
"Okay. Goodbye to me."
I giggled softly. Savannah glared at me.
"Fine. Be like that. Again, I was only trying to be nice to my faggot of a little brother." she said, storming back to her car.
People were staring. She did a U turn out of her parking spot, just missing Ashley's aunt's motorcycle.
"That was uncalled for..." I said.
"Tell me about it."
"Start boarding! San Diego in 5 hours!" John yelled.
I felt my lip quiver as I held back tears. Jake hugged me tightly, burying his head in my shoulder.
"I'm sorry I have to leave." he murmured. "I love you."
"I love you too" I started crying "more then I can ever scream."  
The rest of the band began to board the bus, only us two left outside.
"Jake!" Sandra called.
Jake let go of me, I leaned down and kissed him quickly before he turned away.
Sandra held the door for him, she looked at me and tapped her head. Signing for me not to forget what she told me a few days ago.
All of us stood out on the sidewalk as the bus started up and pulled away. Jake peeked out the window and waved at me, I waved back and blew a kiss to him.
Within a few seconds the bus had dissapeared. I stood, watching the traffic down the street.
I tiny hand touched my shoulder. I looked down at Sammi, she nodded at me. "They'll be back before you know it." she said.
"It'll be a while though." I said.
She watched the traffic with me for a few seconds before returning to her car. The roars of Ashley's family's bikes snapped me out of the trance. I shook my head and walked to my car.
I sat in the small vehicle for a few moments, leaned back in my seat. I could still smell Jake's cologne, he always sprayed it in the car after I smoked or he farted. I breathed in the scent of the body spray, holding the fragrance in my lungs for a few seconds before letting it out.
I hoped he was having fun. Tour sounds amazing...you get to see so many new places around the country and for some, around the world.
"You'll get to go on tour soon CC." I said to myself, sticking the key in the ignition and starting up the car. "Sandra said."
Sandra. She's probably the 2nd best woman I knew. He could hug her but seeing as she was maybe 2 feet shorter then me it'd be awkward...
I waited for traffic to pass and pulled out, steering on to the narrow street toward the freeway.
I swear I saw that black bus on the freeway, but it wasn't the same. It had different design on it. Could it be another band like Black Veil Brides? Driving away from everyone they loved so they could tour and rise in fame? I sighed and went back to paying attetion to the road.
I clicked the radio on. A song by Nickleback started playing. I crinkled my nose and switched stations.
System Of A Down. Much better.
"WAKE UP! Wake up. GRABABRUSHANDPUTONALITTLEMAKEUP!" I sang along, drumming on the steering wheel.
Driving and music. Somehow it makes me cheer up.
I pulled onto the off ramp and down the street towards my apartment building. I pulled into my parking spot and switched the engine off, breathing in the Jake smell again.
He'd been gone for what, 15 minuets? And I missed him already. I sighed out the air in my lungs and got out of my car, clicking the lock button twice and making it beep then headed to my apartment.
I flicked the switch to the lamp on the far wall. The room filled with a small yellow-orange glow, making it seem warm. I only felt its cold, emptyness without Jake's presance.
"They'll be back before you know it." I told myself.
My phone buzzed. I reached into my pocket and flipped it open, seeing who it was from.
A picture of Jake and I from a few years ago poped up, below it was the words "New Message from Jake Pitts."
I opened the message, reading over the text.
"Hey CC just got to the concert place in Veg. You comin rite? <J+C>"
J+C was his phone signature. I smiled and texted back.
"Yea buying tkt now. <3 u" I typed, pressing send.
I opened my laptop and went to the ticket website, clicking on the concert date and time.
I mouse over'd the "BUY TICKETS" icon when a box poped up.
My heart sank as I read the little box. Big red letters spelled "Sold out!"
I flipped open my phone again, clicking "New Message" and choosing Jake's contact.
"Show jst sold out =[" I texted, pressing send.
I sat it down on the keyboaed side i didn't use, checking other ticket sites, all of them were sold out.
My phone buzzed. I looked at the new message.
"FUCK! well idk what 2 do, were not lead so we cant give out free tkts. ill talk to andy. <J+C>"
I rolled my eyes and started to type. "dont worry bout it bb ill watch YT or something."
It took a while for him to reply, I even tried Bing. Nothing.
5 or so minuets later my phone buzzed again, this time with a call.
"Hello?"
"Hey. Uhm, we just tried asking the lead band for free tickets but...they kind of got mad at us..." Jake said. "I don't think I can get you in."
"Its okay." I said "Youtube should show it in a couple days."
"I'm sorry baby..." Jake sighed.
"Its okay really." I said. "Now go kick ass with your guitar!"
I could feel him smile through the phone. "Okay."
I kissed the mouth piece then hung up. Throwing my phone onto the sofa that I was sitting on.
I stared at the computer screen, set on the Bing.com  homepage. I shut the laptop and set it to the side, stretching out on the sofa.
I flipped open my phone, scrolling through random shit before finding the video section. The small icon preview of the latest video caught my eye.
I clicked on it and the video began to play. As I watched it I remembered it, asking Jake to take the video for me. I giggled softly and traced my finger over the scream, watching my own face smile dumbly at me.
"Is that what I look like when I do that?" I snickered.

(Jake POV, thank you writer's block.)

"We're up next after this band." Andy said then went off to do vocal warm ups.
I checked my phone again to see if CC texted me. He was a bit mad when the show was sold out, I felt bad for not being able to get him tickets. I missed him, we'd been away from eachother for only a few hours and I was really missing him.
He was probably sleeping. Knowing him, he'd fall asleep anywhere. One time he almost fell asleep while walking to the store, we still joke about that every so often.
Jinxx was clicking away furiously at his phone, trying to get every last word into his message. Ashley was drinking a bottle of laced water and Andy was still growling at the wall.
I looked at my phone again, set it down, looked down, back up, down...
Calm down I told myself He's asleep. You have a concert, you can't be jumpy
Sandra tossed one of her drumsticks in the air, tried to catch it but it clattered to the floor. Jinxx and I both looked over at her, as she picked them up.
"Sorry. Did I ruin everyone's zen?" she said jokingly.
"Jake is jumpy as fuck Ashley is probably drunk Andy is screaming at the wall and my thumbs don't want to work. Thats a pretty interesting zen." Jinxx said.
"I swear to drunk I'm not god..." Ashley said "...wait...whoops."
"Wow." I said, picking up my phone and turning it in my fingers.
The voices from onstage got louder, I could hear the announcer say into the microphone "This is a new band, they have one album out plus a demo thats on sale back in the back, they're a rock band from Hollywood California, give it up for Black Veil Brides!"
The crowd whooped and screamed. Andy lead us through the small brick hallway and onto the stage. I took my guitar and put it round my shoulders.
We launched right into Knifes and Pens, the crowd seemed impressed with it. When I actually looked up I saw some people holding up rock fingers, others middle fingers.
"LIAR SAY GOOD BYE!" Andy sang the last note, a mixture of cheers and boos came from the crowd.
Andy said something but I was looking over the crowd. Hundreds of eyes stared at us, sneering, smiling, glaring, none of them fimmilar. I guess we'll have to get used to that, strange people staring.
"This song is called Beautiful Remains."
~
"We kicked ASS!" Ashley yelled as we returned backstage.
"Yeah we did!" Andy said, his voice scratchy.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket, quickly texting CC. "1st concert kix ass. U ok? <J+C>"
I got his reply a few seconds later. "Awesum! BTW Mom says good luck xx."
I smiled at the message, kissing the screen and putting it back in my pocket.
