"Jason hurry up get your stuff out here!" Alice yelled. "We're running late." We are flying to the UK for that part of Warped Tour and then coming back over to America to finish it later.

"Carter!" I turned around and Jaxon, our tour manager, was walking up to us. "Get all the instruments in that van then get to the airport."

I nodded and grabbed my guitars and started walking to the van. Alice and Dustin ran up and helped me load up all the guitar and Jason's drums, as Alice shut the door Jason came running out the house.

"Come on guys we got to go." he said as he opened the car door.

"You did that on purpose you ass" Dustin yelled as he got in the back of the car.

"Maybe" Jason laughed as Alice started the car.

I jumped in the front seat and put in my mixed cd of mostly All Time Low songs and turned it up. We had an hour drive to the airport.

I guess I can use this hour to tell you about us.

Alice, Dustin, Jason and I are in a band, obviously. We're Against the Crowd. We get to play on Warped Tour this year with like all my favorite bands. Alice plays guitar and i swear she's the best guitarist I've ever heard. Dustin is bass, and back up vocals. Jason plays drums, and I sing and play guitar, but I leave most of it for Alice.

We finally got to the airport after stopping a few times because Jason had to have potty breaks. We finally got through security and in our seats. Now on to our 4 hour flight to the UK.

*First Warped Tour Venue*

"CARTER!" yelled a very familiar voice from behind me.

I turned around and there he was, Alex Gaskarth. Skinnies, a tshirt and a SnapBack, just like always.

"ALEX!" I yelled back and he grinned. Almost everyone gave us weird glances.

I dropped my bag by my tourbus and ran up to Alex.

"hey gorgeous long time no see" I said hugging him.

"yeah I know. I missed you! Wheres the rest of your guys?" he asked hugging me back.

"The bus" I mumbled still wrapped in his arms. He chuckled.

"ohh get some Alex" I heard over all the talking at the venue. I mean roughly 130 bands, it's gonna be loud.

We laughed and I looked up to see the one and only Kellin Quinn. My mouth dropped open then I shut it really quick.

Your one of them Carter, no more being star struck.

"Hey man. I haven't seen you in forever" Alex said letting go of me and doing one of those bro hug things with Kellin.

"I know man. So who's this?" Kellin asked turning to me.

"Carter, the lead singer of Against the Crowd. And my best friend, just don't tell Jack I said that." Alex introduced me and I shook Kellin's hand.

"Kellin Quinn. It's nice to meet you" he flashed that killer smile of his and I tried hard not to hyperventilate.

"you too" I mumbled.

Kellin and Alex started talking about how awesome Warped is going to be this year and I started looking around at the crowd of all the bands.

I can't even believe I'm here right now. I never thought in a million years I'd be here right now.

Suddenly two scrawny arms wrapped around my waist and Jack Barakat's face appeared beside mine, his chin resting on my shoulder.

"hey Jacky." I smiled as my eyes still scanned the crowd.

"Carter stop being star struck and fucking hug me." he whinned. I laughed and turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Happy now?" I asked as I released him.

"Very" he let go of me and I walked over to hug Rian and Zack.

"where's Alice?" Jack asked just as Alice and the guys walked up behind him.

I pointed behind him and once he saw Alice he attacked. Him and Alice have always been really really close, ever since the beginning, which was about 2 years ago when we were All Time Low's support band on tour. We've all been really close since then.

Alex walked up beside me and watched Alice and Jack hug each other.

"Are you ready for this amazing tour?" Alex asked looking down at me.

"yes!" I said getting excited, trying to ignore the pit of nerves in my stomach. Alex grabbed my hand and started pulling me through the crowd.

"So you guys have been in Warped before, is it like a lot of people or like more than just a lot of people?" I asked. It was obvious I was nervous and he looked down at me with that killer smile of his.

"There are more than a lot of people, but it's going to be okay. You've played in front of crowds before." he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him.

"I know, it's just nerves I guess." I smiled up at him. "So where are you taking me?"

"To see the main stage." he said, flashing that smile again.
