Forever and Always

Chapter 4

Ricky's POV

I woke up two hours later and after I stretched and got up I realized the bus was stopped, so I walked out into the main area and saw Jordan in the drivers seat.

"Are we here already?" I ask

"No we still have another hour ahead of us I just needed to get gas."

"Oh okay, do I have time to step out and have a quick smoke?"

"Yeah I just pulled in so you have a few minutes."

"Okay I'll be back in a bit," I say as I put my shoes on and grab my cigarettes and lighter.

I step outside and walk a ways away from the gas pumps so I don't risk starting a fire. When I'm a reasonable distance away from the gas I light up a smoke and lean against a tree and inhale slowly then let the smoke roll out of my mouth. After a few minutes I was done so I went back to the bus and just as I was walking up Jordan was closing the gas cap on the bus, so I hurried up and got in so he wouldn't have to wait for me. Once I was on, I went back to my bunk and decided to watch a movie on my laptop.

"Ricky wake up we're here!" I hear someone call.

I sit up, put my laptop away, and tidy up the other things that are out of place. As I'm doing this my curtain is pulled back, revealing a tired looking Chris.

"Oh, good you're up I thought I was gonna have to drag you out." He laughs and walks away to finish getting ready.

I head to the back lounge to get my stage costume and makeup out and start changing.  Once I'm changed, I turn on some music and start doing my makeup in the mirror that's mounted on the wall.

An hour later we're backstage getting pumped up for the show, a few minutes later somebody walks back and tells us that there's only two minutes left before we go on. We do our usual pre-show huddle and run on stage to our positions as the crowd screams our name.

At the end of the show Chris thanks the crowd and we head backstage.

"Great job guys!" Chris says excitedly and we all high-five and hug each other.

Once we've taken a couple minutes to celebrate we all head back to the bus so we can shower quickly and go to the meet and greet. When we get there we see hundreds of people lined up by the tent. Once we're all set up and ready to go, security opens the gate on the barrier and people start flowing through. This is my favorite  part of being in a band meeting the fans who love and support us, and being able to show them how much we appreciate them in return.

After about three hours we meet the last fan and head back to the bus.

Devin's POV

When we get back to the bus my phone rings, I pull it out and smile when I see Kylie's name across the screen.

"Hey babe, how's it going?" I answer.

"We need to talk Dev, are you alone?"

"Uh no, but I'll go outside." I say and walk outside the bus. "What's wrong?"

"Well I've been thinking, and I'm not sure if I can live like this anymore."

"What are you talking about?" I ask confused.
