The
next part of the week went fast. I loved doing concerts, but they were
exhausting. I felt bad for the boys. We only have to do three songs, they have
to do like, seventeen! I haven't sat through an entire concert. Jenny and
Steph had seen each one so far, but I had only seen bits and pieces. This is
how a regular concert goes; we do all the sound checks and stuff, then we
dress, make-up, and all that stuff.
Eat, then mess around till we go on. We
do our stuff, go backstage, shower, mess around till the boys go on. Steph
and Jenny watch, I mess around in our dressing room, occasionally leaving to
watch the boys. Then the boys shower, we all do a meet and greet, then we
either mess around at the hotel, or get on the bus. Tonight though, we had no
show. Tonight, was a night to relax, on the bus. I was happy, because this
time the bus was headed to my home state, but I wanted to be in Columbus. Not
Cinnci, or Cleveland. The closer we got to Ohio, the more excited I was. We
were in Pennsylvania now, we only had about four hours till we were in
Cinnci.
"I'm bored!" I called from my bunk. Everyone seemed to be busy. Even Patch
was playing with Tyke. Kevin was reading, Brian and Nick were fighting about
some game, Jenny was asleep, Howie was asleep, I didn't want to know what
Steph and AJ were doing, and Angie was asleep. I got up and checked on Angie.
I walked to the back of the bus. "If you two wake Angie up, there's gonna be
hell to pay." I warned.
As if on cue, Angie yelled "AUNT WARWA!!!" I lay my head on the floor.
"Quick, pick the couch up and drop it on my head!" I got up and went
to Angie's bunk. "Yea?"
"I'm bored."
"Well, lets see what we can do, we could sleep?"
"No."
"Eat?"
"No."
"Kick the boys asses for waking you up?"
"Yea!"
"You go do that, I'm gonna get some sleep. Can you do me a favor?"
"What?"
"Tell Brian to wake me up in a hour. Then ask him and Nick if he'll watch
you for that hour. Tell them I said that they owe me."
"K." With that Angie ran to the back of the bus, and I hopped up to my
bunk. I soon fell into a restless sleep. I dreamt the strangest dream and
woke up screaming. I dreamt that we played in Columbus, but most the people
there hated me. They booted me off stage. Then, I go backstage and John's
there, kissing my second worst enemy. Tyke was kissing my first worst enemy.
Then, I went to look for Brian, and I find Howie. Howie kisses me and Brian
sees. He runs off, and I run after him screamin 'I love you Brian!' over and
over. Then I wake up, screamin Brian's name. I don't know what it was all
about.
"LO! LO! Wake up!" I heard Stephanie yell.
"What?" I mumbled
"You were havin' a bad dream. Come on, we're eating."
"Eating what?"
"Chinese. I got your fave."
"No thanks. Not hungry. I think I may watch some TV."
"I'd do it why you can. Nick and Brian are eating."
"I know. Where's Angie?"
"I'm taking care of her for the night."
"No, you aren't. Angie is my responsibility, and she won't go to bed unless
I do our special routine."
"LO, chill. You can put her to bed. I just think you need some time off."
"Whatever with a capital double-u."
"Ya, ya. Now go watch some TV."
I hopped down from my bunk and grabbed my book, my blanket, and my puppy.
I went to the back of the bus and settled< down on the couch. I turned on the radio and boyzone came on :
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true
No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know, no matter what
If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say
No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true
And I will keep you safe and strong
And shelter from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born
No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need
No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No Matter What
I started to sing along. When the song finished I began to read, and got so
into the book I didn't notice Nick walk in.
