《You're the One - Part 1 || Greta Van Fleet》Chapter 5: We'll See
Advertisement
The next morning, I woke up, my head pounding. Thankfully the room had finally stopped spinning. The night before was a complete blur, and who's sweater was I wearing?
I could hear talking coming from the other side of the door. The last thing I wanted to do was walk out there in the middle of whatever was going on between them all. For all I know, I was the only one who didn't remember a single thing that happened last night.
I had to get it over with sooner or later. I slid the door open.
"There she is!" yelled Josh from his top bunk. His head propped up on his hand, he smiled at me. "How you feelin'?"
"I'm fine.." I managed. Sam laughed.
"No she's not." I looked around to see Jake towards the front of the bus, sitting down at the table. I made my way through and sat down across from him.
"Hey.." I sighed. He looked up at me and smiled.
"Well, good morning." He said. "You doing alright?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Just wish I could remember something from last night."
"You.. don't remember anything?" He asked.
"I think I was with Josh.. is.. is this his sweater? How did I get this?" he started blushing.
"Um... y-yeah.. that's his." He said quietly. "You guys were pretty friendly all night.."
"Great.." I mumbled. "I.. I'm not usually like that." He laughed.
"I know. You told me."
"I did?" He nodded, giggling to himself.
"Yeah, and don't worry.. apparently nothing happened."
"Good.." I sighed.
"Yeah, but..he did seem a little disappointed." My cheeks burned.
I looked over at Josh. He was still propped on up his top bunk, talking to Danny. Little flashes of the night started to pop into my mind. His hand in mine, our fingers intertwined. Empty glass after empty glass on the coffee table. He looked over at me and smiled. I smiled back.

"So when do we get to the venue?" I asked, turning back to Jake.
"We should be there in about an hour. We have interviews and soundcheck, and then the show starts at 9. I think you'd get the best stuff if you were around for all of it." I nodded.
"I'm excited to see you guys play."
"Yeah, after I saw your work I knew we had to have you for our tour."
"You? ..I thought Jo-"
"You ready for the best show of your life?" Josh chimed in. He slid into the booth next to me, our legs touching again. Jake shot him a look. He shrugged it off.
"Yeah, I was just telling Jake how excited I am to see you guys play. He said there were gonna be a ton of opportunities to get great shots."
"Great! You can hang with me." Josh said. "I'll show you around so you'll know all the best places to shoot." He gently placed his hand on my leg. My cheeks burned again.
"Great."
I was surprised when we pulled up to the venue. It was much larger than I was anticipating. Come to think of it, they didn't give me much information when I was hired for this gig. And I didn't hesitate to accept, considering it was my first actual tour. I didn't want to waste any time asking questions.
"This place is huge!" I said, looking around. Josh flashed me a huge smile.
"Just wait until tonight, it really lights up when everything get's going. And being on the water? It's amazing."
I could see what he meant. It was beautiful right now, so I could only imagine once the show got started.
"So where do you guys need to be first?" I asked. Josh moved closer to me.

"We've got an interview in a half hour, but come with me, I wanna show you around.." He said, grabbing my hand. I quick peeked at Jake to see his face drop.
Josh lead me down through the seats towards the stage. I followed closely. The venue was still completely empty. I couldn't imagine this completely filled with people. Mainly girls, I'm sure. I knew the kind of crowd a band like this would draw in. Considering the single night shows I've shot before, I'm sure it would be nothing compared to what I would be experiencing for the next three months out here.
"Here would be perfect for you.." Josh said, pointing out an arena in front of the stage.
"You could get us all, but I'm sure you'll have free rein once the show starts, if you wanted." He turned back to smile at me. His eyes sparkled when he smiled. I could feel myself blushing again.
"Josh, I think we should talk.." I said. His face dropped a bit.
"What's up, mama?" He asked, letting go of my hand. He made his way up onto the stage, checking it out for himself.
"About last night.." I said. He nodded.
"Gotcha." he sighed. He was quiet for a moment.
"It's not you, it's just.. I don't want anyone thinking I got this job.."
"Cause you're dating someone in the band. I understand." I giggled.
"We're hardly dating." He smirked back at me.
"You know what I mean." He laughed. I looked up at him. He really was handsome, and even just standing up on that stage alone, you could tell he was meant to be up there.
"I do."
"Are you always this forward?" I finally asked him. He shrugged.
"No, actually." He said quietly, shoving his hands into his pockets.
He was blushing now. It was cute.
"Then why now?" I asked. He turned back to me, shrugging.
"You seemed...different." His tone changed. It felt less forced; real. "Well, you still do." He laughed. I smiled.
"I'll back off.." He said.
I continued to stare up at him as he walked the perimeter of the stage, looking out at all angles. He pointed out another spot to me, I made my way over.
"But I think once you get to know me, you'll forget all about your silly rule." He smirked. My cheeks were burning again.
"I guess we'll have to see." I said, smirking back up at him.
"I guess we will."

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.

And I feel disgusted with boy to boy, so it may be hurtful, but I'll never like you." "Well, so, that's why President Wen tried to avoid me? Did you feel uncomfortable?". "Well, yeah, because who wouldn't be like me?" "But I didn't do anything wrong or did I cross over the line, right?" "I guess so." "Since that's the case, we can still be friends, right?" "But... won't you get hurt?" "Well, that's should be my problem, right? And besides, I'm also happy when I'm together with you." Is it possible for those two to end up together?
