[TOUR] On The Road

[trez matthew steele]

Sean was between a few songs, giving them time to retune by talking to the crowd, when Trez felt his vision start to go. He drew in a breath, mumbling to Zayne as he stumbled for the stairs and backstage.

Seconds later he was on the ground, one of the agents calling for a medic and somebody from the bus to bring him water and a wet towel. He held Trez's head as he seized.

On stage, Sean looked around, working his jaw, the. Grabbed his own guitar and set up an acoustic mic so they could continue, knew what was going on. Trez wouldn't have left otherwise.

Harper and AJ were in the middle of the floor playing cards when her phone started to ring. She couldn't think of what it might be, because the only people who had her number were the boys. But the name on her screen was someone she didn't have in her phone- Nash.

"Hello?" She asked, but the only sound on the other end was a siren. "Well, won't Sean be happy to know his boyfriend's communicating from the dead." She said, throwing her phone on the table as she started off the bus, AJ hot on her heels. But security still wouldn't let them back.

"You don't get it!" She said, trying not to talk so loud that Sean could hear and distract him. "Where's Trez?"

"You don't need to know."

"You're going to tell me where he is, or you're gonna have five feet of hell on your ass." She said, her eyes glowing a bright yellow. And as he leaned closer to her, drawn in by her eyes, she elbowed him in the nose, sending him backwards. She shoved the gate open, yanking AJ after her as she bolted backstage,

The agent looked up, raising an eyebrow. "There were passes on your bus," He offered, still supporting Trez's head. "Here, take this one. Go get something for his fever and get him some water. Trez relaxed and groaned, curling up on the ground with a shaky breath. The guy patted his back gently. "Don't sit up, it's okay.."

[harper reese lebeau]

"We weren't looking for passes. We were trying to get them off the bus this morning." She said, leaving AJ there with him. She seemed scared, and knelt down beside him, slowly stroking his hair.

She tucked the pass into her back pocket, and walked off to get him water and tylenol. She came back not long after, handing them to the agent. "Is he gonna be okay? Why can't we switch his medicine or something?" She asked, stuffing her hands into her pockets, watching AJ play with Trez's hair.

[trez matthew steele]

The guy tapped two pills into his palm and handed them to Trez, followed b the water, then helped him sit up.

"I'm fine," He mumbled tiredly. "And I could go in an'..get it switched.." He paused to swallow the pills, drinking down half the bottle of water. "I just haven't yet.."

He could hear the crowd and band out there, wanted to go back out. But he knew they wouldn't let him. He didn't need to risk passing out.

"You want me to fill for you?" Harper asked, reaching down to mess up his hair. She bent down so she was in front of him, kissing his forehead gently. "I'll go when you go, okay?" She said, gently stroking his cheek. The crowd got louder than it was before and she stood back up, handing the pass back to the agent as she tucked her shirt back in, sitting across from Trez.

Trez nodded slowly, then closed his eyes with a soft sigh, tilted his head back. "You guys enjoying, at least?" He breathed. "AJ, how old are you?"

[harper reese lebeau]

"Yeah. It's fine. I think the crowd's overwhelming AJ a little. There's a lot of people out there." Harper said, messing with a piece of paper on the ground.

"Nineteen.." AJ said quietly, looking up at what she could see of the stage.

"It's gotta be strange, dating Zayne since he's so quiet."

"He's really sweet, though.. He's not mean or nothing.." She said quietly, wringing her hands together.

[trez matthew steele]

"We'll go to a club tonight then, so you and Xander can still get in.." He smiled faintly. "Zayne is like, amazing.. Even if he can't talk. He's awesome." He patted AJ's knee gently. "Not a mean bone in his body, either." Shifting his weight, he stretched.

[harper reese lebeau]

"They can get into the bar. They just can't get anything to drink." Harper said, smiling over at AJ when Trez said Zayne didn't have a mean bone in his body. She stretched her legs out in front of her, leaning back on her hands. "That's more than you can say about a few of us."

"Yeah, I don't think Aubri likes me.."

"Aubri don't like anyone. She's a royal bitch. I'm a bitch but at least I come by it honestly." She shrugged, obviously not caring. She knew she could be a bitch.
