"Are you ready?" asked Austin, coming into her room. She nodded and held up her suitcase, yawning a bit.
"Yeah. I'm just-just-" She yawned, unable to contain it. "Tired."
"Yeah, you can sleep on the bus." Austin said, making sure she had everything, toiletries, personal items, clothes, shoes, sun glasses, chargers, things she would need for a few months. "Shit!" He exclaimed, suddenly remembering that he had forgotten to give Sienna her laptop and camera.
"What?"
"Nothing, nothing. I gotta-I'll see you on the bus." he said, racing off to his room, brushing past a sleep ridden Josh. "Hey, can you help Sienna bring her stuff down?"
Josh nodded and slugged his way to Sienna's room, rubbing his messy hair. Austin scrambled into his room and grabbed the bag before shoving it into his suitcase. Sienna walked past his room with Josh in tow, and they trudged down the stairs like little troopers. Austin smiled and grabbed his bags after going through the mental checklist and he stumbled down the stairs, hid hands holding his bags carefully, not wanting to break her gifts.
"Oh my God." Murmured Sienna. Austin followed her stare and smirked. She was staring at the double decker bus in awe. Austin nudged her slightly.
"You like it?"
"Yeah…" She breathed. "You're all sharing a bus?"
"Yeah. We are." Austin told her, ushering her on the bus. He stepped on the bus after his daughter, and then pointed to the small set of stairs towards the back of the bus. "Go up there. That's where we're bunking with YMAS."
"Okay." Sienna said, walking off to where Austin said to. Austin set his bags down and then made sure everyone was on the bus. He made a mental note and they were soon on their way to pick up BMTH and AA. "Austin? Can I take the top bunk again?" called Sienna's voice from upstairs.
"Go ahead." Austin encouraged, taking the bag of her gifts from his bag. Sienna walked down the stairs and eyed the bag wearily.
"What's that?"
Josh, and the rest of YMAS sat down on one of the lounge couches, starting up FIFA with Aaron and Alan, as Phil and Tino were picking out spots on the bus to sleep in.
"For you." Austin said, handing her the bag. She glared involuntarily at it and then at him.
"Austin-"
"Ugh, just open it, Sienna. You're gonna have to accept it whether you like it or not." Alan muttered. Sienna rolled her eyes and peeked in it, making Austin smile.
"Oh my…" She muttered, pulling out the camera. "No, I'm sorry."
Austin rolled his eyes. "You're welcome, Sienna." he told her, grabbing his bags and racing away before she could tell him to take it back.
"Real mature!" she called, but he could hear the smile in her voice. Good.

Sienna

"Take! Back! Every word I said, ever said to you! Take! Back! Every word I said, because, everything I touch turns to stone!" Oli screamed into the mic. Sienna and Tom Sykes (one of BMTH's photographers) stood in the pit taking photos of the performances. She met both BMTH and AA, and personally, she made a strong connection with Lee Malia. Maybe it was because they were both quiet and shy, but either way, Sienna really enjoyed his company. She asked Austin if she could go back into the photographer's pit, and with much convincing and having to wear a ridiculous 'I'm With the Band' jacket, he let her stand with the other photographer, and since she was about a half a month into the tour, the media knew her well, so did the venues she was attending, so they didn't question her.
"Ever since this began," Oli screamed, "I was blessed with a curse, and for better or for worse, I was born into a hearse. I know I said: my heart beats for you." Oli glanced down at Sienna, reaching his hand out slightly, such sadness captured on his face that Sienna raised the camera and took multiple shots. "I've been lying girl, I've been lying to you." Oli looked down and threw his arms up, before whipping them down. "Everything I touch, turns to stone!"
"It turns to stone!" The crowd screamed back. Oli smirked which lasted about a millisecond.
Sienna knew that Oli was recently engaged and he was missing his fiancé to shits, so she promised Hannah that she would send some pictures of Oli her way. Jordan's wife was missing him as well, so she took some of him. She learned that the girlfriends of Asking Alexandria were less missed and she didn't really have to worry about that.
Oli leaned down to Sienna and grabbed the camera from her neck before grabbing her was well. She squealed and wanted to struggle away from him, but his grip didn't let up as he pulled her up onto the stage and handed her the camera back.
"Can you take a group photo, love?" he asked in her ear. She nodded, blushing as the crowd roared at Sienna. She had the boys scoot together and the snapped some photos. Lee gave her a small smile and she blushed, running from the stage. She took a picture and sent it to Avery with a wink face. His immediate response was: 'Oh! You lucky bitch!'
She and Avery had been texting non stop, much to Austin's dismay. Austin was constantly up her butt about what the two were talking about. Like right now. Austin was perched on her shoulder like a lost puppy, waiting to prank BMTH's encore song to get back at BMTH for coming onstage while Of Mice performed and basically tackled them to the ground and sat on them as they tried to continue playing Ohioisonfire. Pocketing her phone, she glared at Austin and he smirked innocently, grabbing an ice cold Smirnoff for Oli to be 'Iced'. Alan held one for Lee, Aaron one for Matt Kean, Tino one for Matt Nicholls, Phil, one for Jordan Fish. (I know BMTH tours with a second guitarist, but I'm lazy and I don't really wanna add another person to this already 22 'main' characters on tour story. TOO MANY)
"WE WILL NEVER SLEEP! 'CAUSE SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK! AND WE WILL NEVER REST 'TIL WE'RE ALL FUCKING DEAD!" Oli screamed. Austin smirked and grabbed the microphone to announce BMTH to stop. Sienna got out her camera and set it to video.
"Awe, you little hipster." Phil winked, nudging her. She rolled her eyes and pressed the recording button.
"I HAVE LOVED AND I HAVE LOST, SLEEP HAS STOLEN FAR TOO MUCH!" Oli roared, unaware of Of Mice's intentions. "SO DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES, NOT JUST YET! SLEEP IS JUST A COUSIN OF DEATH!"
Austin smiled and walked on stage followed by his bandmates. Oli gave him an odd look, but he didn't say anything, continuing the song.
"I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, IF YOU THINK YOU'RE ALIVE, THEN YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD-"
Austin brought the small bottle from behind his back and Sienna tried to suppress a giggle as Oli gave his a hardened look his mouth quirking as he kept singing. "I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, IF YOU THINK YOU'RE ALIVE, THEN YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD!"
Phil cozied up next to Jordan behind his keyboard and computer which was turned off seeing how this song didn't need any electronica and he promptly turned it on as Jordan batted at his hands.
The drums faltered as Tino kept stealing drum sticks from Matt's grasp and Sienna zoomed in on Aaron who was smooching Matt K's cheek. Lee was skipping away from Alan who was wearing a shirt with Lee's face on it with hot pink writing that read: I <3 Lee Malia!
Austin spoke into his mic over the screams of laughter from the fans.
"Why, hello, Oliver Sykes!" He said brightly. Sienna took a small step towards the stage so she could get a better angle of the prank. Oli rolled his eyes, smirking.
"Carlile." He greeted. Austin smiled.
"This is for you." he said, pulling the Smirnoff from behind his back. Oli looked exasperated as he leaned back, his eyebrows shot up.
"Yeah, fuck you, mate." Oli said tiredly, taking the Smirnoff. Oli turned and saw his bandmates had also received the same treatment. Sienna giggled and took another step forward and Oli caught her eye as the bands divided, standing next to each other, waiting to drink the whole drink.
"Wait, what the fuck is this?" asked Jordan, looking at the drink in confusion, rather than hatred like the rest of them.
"It's called 'Icing'." Matt explained, sneering at Tino who was twirling one of Matt's sticks. "You have to down the whole drink in one sitting. Right now."
Jordan rolled his eyes. "But it's cold!" he whined.
"Hence the title: 'Iced'!" Danny shouted from somewhere off stage.
Sienna was now standing a few steps from both of the bands, Austin standing behind her. Oli glanced at Sienna, his eyes looking hurt.
"You were in on this too?"
"Not really." Sienna replied. "They told me about it two minutes ago." Oli shook his head sadly.
"Oh, I see." he said in faux depression. Alan cheered.
"Ready? Go!" he squealed.
Oli sighed and popped the cap with his bandmates and soon, they were chugging the drink with bitter expressions from the cold. Austin cheered them and Sienna laughed, knowing the laugh would be loud on the recorded material.
Finally, Oli yanked the now empty bottle from his lips and chucked it at the ground, glad that the endeavor of drinking the ice cold beverage was over. The bottle shattered and soon was joined by both of the Matt's bottles, Lee's, and Jordan's.
"That was fucking awful." Jordan sighed, rubbing his temples. Of Mice roared with laughter and Oli wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and pressed his thumb to the roof of his mouth to cool the head rush.
Sienna smiled and was about to stop the video when Oli leaned into the microphone and narrowed his eyes at Austin.
"Oh, it's on, Carlile." He threatened with farce hatred.
Of Mice ran off, stepping over the glass as the stage crew quickly cleaned up the glass so the artists weren't in danger of hurting themselves and they cleared off. Oli rubbed at his temples and Sienna stopped recording.
"Where were we?" Oli asked the crowd.
The crowd began to chant. "I have loved and I have lost, sleep has taken far too much, so don't close your eyes, not just yet-"
The band started to play at that exact moment and Oli screamed: "SLEEP IS JUST A COUSIN OF DEATH!" and to finish it off, he burped loudly, his middle finger raised at Austin who waved and stood by Sienna.
"Did you get it on camera?"
"Yeah, you're gonna have hell to pay." She warned him as Oli jumped around on the stage, the rest of BMTH trying to clear their heads of the cold alcohol.
Austin smirked. "You should start a YouTube channel. Post these. Call them, 'Tour Wars'."
Sienna snickered. "Yeah. I might do that because I have to post a video for life skills."
Austin patted her head. "Ask Tom to help you make the videos. He makes a lot of tour updates for BMTH. I'm sure he'll help you out."
Sienna glanced down at her camera happily. She never really told anyone about her love for film making. She remembered sitting with her mom while watching the TV show 30 Days by Morgan Spurlock, and wished she could make a show like that, and with her new camera and laptop, her dream was finally possible.
