"Alex or Lynn one with angst, whatever you feel like writing, i just NEED angst. 😂 i’m glad you are back by the way. ❤️"
Of course you certainly can. And thank you! Lynn it is. But there is most definitely an Alex imagine coming soon!
Just a girl from a small town, with your friend, Lynn, from an even smaller town, traveling around the world with her larger than life band. It was quite ironic and overwhelming all at the same time, considering neither of you thought the band would have exploded quite like it did.
You see, when you had met Lynn a couple of years ago, her band was just starting off. They played small shows here and there and practiced every other day but it wasn't until they got swept up by a producer that you noticed their fan base growing and growing. You couldn't be prouder of them and knowing Lynn on a much deeper level than the fans held a special place in your heart. Her bandmates Alex and Brian were quite the charmers too.
The only thing was, both of them joked about you and Lynn being the perfect couple almost every day, and it was fine.. except it seemed to make her uncomfortable and then things got awkward... To be honest, you definitely had feelings for her.. At least you used to. You squashed them down a long time ago when you realised that nothing would ever happen, and so you continued on like always.
This year PVRIS were beginning their first tour of AWKOHAWNOH and surprisingly had invited you along for the journey. Your day job was almost completely online, so it didn't seem like that bad of an idea. After a ton of thinking (and overthinking), you wearily agreed. Yet, the look of pure happiness on Lynn's face when you told her you were going to go with them was enough and you knew you had made the right decision.
Rehearsals were tough for you though. PVRIS were always busy, with interviews and promos, you didn't realise they'd never have a second to spare. Still, you had no complaints, it was great to see the behind the scenes of it all and you really didn't want to make everything about you when this was their big break..
It's just that, being at practice as your friend's plus one and not having the appropriate skills to properly help out meant that your days were often boring and lonely. At the very beginning you quickly learnt your lesson that even if you did try to help, you were often in the way, (and that just frustrated the people higher up).
You think that's why when the supporting band arrived at the first venue for tour, you had moulded so perfectly into their group of four. You could talk to them as if you had known them for years, it was really crazy and such a breath of fresh air. The band LOUD included Luke, Matthew, Jake, and Jackson, (the twins). The music they produced wasn't typical to what you would listen to, it was a bit more on the pop side, however, that didn't mean you didn't enjoy it. Plus, you just vibed really well with the group, sharing similar interests, likes and dislikes, there was a connection there for sure, a genuine friendship.
Considering the supporting band had a lot more time off than PVRIS you were constantly surrounded by them. Specifically Matthew. It was a complete coincidence that you found out he had grown up really close to home and it was super nice to talk to him about his experiences, he was funny and attractive. No wonder you two were basically attached at the hip. Understandably it was refreshing having someone pay you that much attention.. and you meant that in the least self-absorbed way possible.
Seeing as their rehearsal periods were only an hour, the boys would take you exploring for the rest of the day. It got you out of the quiet and cramped tour bus so you were beyond thankful for that. One of the downsides of this though was that you'd only see your friends at night when you came back from a day of traveling around the city. You were usually too exhausted to stay up late but sometimes you'd chill on the couch and tell Alex and Brian stories about which member of LOUD could eat the most food (and not throw up) or how many times you could get lost in the same town. The nights often ended with all of you curled up in laughter and you think they'd definitely get along well together.
You appreciated these nights but honestly, the more time you spent on that stupid tour bus, the more time you spent regretting your decision, purely because it was putting such a strain on your relationship with Lynn. Where even was she?
You were supposed to be best friends and now you'd be lucky if you caught eye contact with her. She was always so.. disconnected. You tried to fit in things to do with her on the short time she had off, but it was never enough to sit down and actually talk, especially without being interrupted by the crew. You knew it wasn't her fault and you knew for a fact tour would be rough, but in the back of your mind, you had an inkling that she might've been doing it on purpose? You know, being out of the room when you came back for the night or constantly having things to do. All of it just felt off. but you put it to the back of your mind because she'd never do that, right?
--
Today, LOUD had invited you to breakfast in a diner not too far away from the venue. PVRIS had morning rehearsals and then the day off, whereas LOUD had the morning off and then rehearsals for most of the day. It sucked but you knew you could get through one day without them. Plus, you were actually kind of glad it had worked out this way. Maybe you would get some time with Lynn, Brian, and Alex and actually be able to enjoy it.
"Am I going to have to throw my plate of pancakes at you to get your attention Y/N? You've been staring at your juice for the past five minutes." Luke snorted, finding the moment entirely way too funny for this hour of the morning and in turn breaking you from your thoughts with his loud and obnoxious laugh.
"Remind me of how many cups of coffee you've had already Luke? And why I allowed you guys to drag me out of bed this early?" You groaned, snuggling your head into Matthew's shoulder.
You needed to make a mental note of that.
"Hey! I swear this is only my second cup, I'm just really pumped for the show tonight!" He cheered, his voice increasing in volume with each passing word.
"Shhh you're being way too loud Luke, quit it already." You mumbled, your voice muffled yet still at a much quieter level than his, "I'm right on this, aren't I, Matt?"
Instead of a reply, you were met with his fingers tickling both your sides and a loud gasp left your mouth. You were beyond ticklish and you were trapped on the inside of the booth.
But, one hard kick to the shin did the job and got him to stop.
"Ouchh Y/N, I thought you loved spending time with us?" He moaned, clutching his leg like the baby he was.
You laughed, "Not when you pull crap like that, I mean, was that really a necessary wake up call? I swear I'll get you back."
You stuck your tongue out, acting equally as childish.
Jackson giggled, "Wasn't that punishment enough?" He questioned, a round of 'yeahs' coming from the table.
"Nope. Just you wait." You smirked, finishing off the rest of your food.
Matt gulped, "Harsh"
"I hate to interrupt whatever this is, but come on, we better get back. Rehearsals start in ten minutes," Jake advised, nodding to the rest of the group as you all got up and paid.
It didn't take long to get back to the venue, and you found yourselves easily splitting into two's and three's. Luke, Jake, and Jackson had gone backstage to set up their instruments, whereas Matt had offered to walk you back to your bus. An offer you had enthusiastically accepted.
"I guess this is you?" He whispered, opening up the tour bus door once you got there.
"You guessed correctly." You countered, leaning against the side of the bus.
He let out a deep breath before looking up at you, staring into your eyes.
"I really enjoyed this morning you know.." He began.
"Yeah?" You questioned slowly, dipping your toes into where this conversation was going.
"Yeah.. I'd love to do it again sometime, maybe, just the two of us?"
You smiled wildly, "That sounds like a really good plan Matt, I'll see you later?"
He returned a smile just as bright as yours before turning and running to the stage door, "Definitely, See ya Y/N."
You climbed up the stairs of the bus with a small grin still present on your face. The door shutting behind you.
"That sounded serious." A voice said, seemingly out of nowhere.
You looked up and saw Lynn lying beside the window on her laptop, her eyes staying put on the screen.
"Crap Lynn you scared me, I forgot you'd be back here." You laughed, easing into the awkward tension that seemed to be quickly engulfing you.
"Bet you did." She sighed, closing her laptop and moving to get up.
"What's that supposed to mean?" You challenged, confusion visible on your face.
"Nothing, just forget I said anything," She mumbled, walking right past you to the kitchen area.
"No, I want to know Lynn, what's up? Have I done something?" You asked again, following her movements.
"Didn't I tell you to drop it?"
You frowned, "I can't when you're pissed off at me for no reason."
"No reason? Good one Y/N." She scoffed, walking back to the seat she was first sitting on, this time with a drink in her hand.
You couldn't understand what had gotten her so riled up and it was starting to annoy you.
"Obviously something's up, go on, spit it out, Lynn. What's your problem?"
"You really wanna know?" She said, her harsh tone evident.
You rolled your eyes, "Go for it."
"My problem is that lately you're barely seen around this place. My problem is that you don't even care that we're all still here, doing our damn jobs. You've been too busy getting real close with those boys from LOUD, and now you're what, seeing one of them? You only come back here to brag about what a great time you're having out there without us. How do you think that makes me feel? You were supposed to come on this tour as my friend Y/N, not the supporting band's sidepiece" She argued, her jaw clenched.
Now that was uncalled for.
"Seriously Lynn? How dare you? A sidepiece, really? The reason why I started hanging out with LOUD in the first place is because YOU had no time for me, zero. I tried to fit myself into your schedule and you were having none of it. The boys in the supporting band you like to speak so badly of? Yeah? They're my friends. You go to rehearsals every single day for hours and I'm stuck here on this bus doing nothing, but they took me in and gave me something to do. Except now you're telling me I'm somehow expected to sit here and wait for you to get back? Do you seriously expect me to do that Lynn?" You yelled back, pacing back and forth in the small amount of space you could.
She stepped even closer to you, anger evident in her eyes, "You wanna know why they took you in Y/N? Huh? Why they bring you on trips and take you to breakfast? They do it because they're all chasing after you like the dumbstruck little boys they are and you just soak in the attention they give you as if it will never be enough. How does it feel Y/N? When this tour is over you'll be thrown out like the rest of them."
"They are my friends." You repeated, enunciating every word.
This time she stepped right up to your face, "And you're telling me they wouldn't bang you if they could?"
"Fuck you, Lynn. I don't know what's gotten into you tonight but you can talk to me when you stop being a stuck up little bitch." You snapped.
Your faces were only inches apart.
"Why can't you just find someone who you deserve Y/N?" Lynn said quietly, her demeanor softening immensely.
Her hand reached up to caress your cheek, but you flinched.
She sighed, "I'm sorry.."
And with that, she stepped back.
Instinctively your hand reached out to grip her arm, and you pulled her into you.
And then it happened.
Her lips were on yours in a messy and desperate kiss.
It was thrilling and intense and something you had never felt before. Not quite like this. After a couple of minutes, you parted your lips to breathe and at that moment, all was forgiven.
You stared into Lynn's beautiful hazel eyes.
"Bedroom. Now." She whispered.
