Ashton almost couldn't believe his luck. Since his early teenage years, since he was twelve years old, he had been a fan of Green Day. A band that 5 Seconds of Summer, as individuals and a collective, admired greatly and had referenced in their music, credited to their sound. And now, here Ashton was, twenty-four, sat in the same room as his idols. Ashton was always told not to meet his heroes, but the guys of Green Day had met, and exceeded, every expectation Ashton had ever thought about them. Sipping a can of Coke, Ashton couldn't afford to drink a beer and cloud his judgement, knowing that 5 Seconds of Summer were up next, but still, he grinned with a joke Luke had cracked, his grin broadening when Billie fucking Armstrong laughed along.
Billie was surprised, to say the least, when he saw 5 Seconds of Summer was added to the tour's bill. The promoters and organisers had told him, Mike and Tre that having a fresh band, with a huge following, on the tour would turn more heads. What he wasn't expecting, however, was getting along with them brilliantly. Billie already thought the world of the young men. They were ambitious, surprisingly good at their craft, and knew how to put on a show. Glancing at his phone every so often, Billie exhaled as he saw he hadn't received a text from Avery yet. Are you alive, or do I need to send search and rescue? He text quickly, focusing back on the conversation.
Giselle flashed her backstage pass to security, looking back to Avery with a grin. The girls had been friends since they were babies, practically raised as sisters more than friends. Walking with her head held high, Giselle stopped outside the green room, looking to Avery. "Ready?" She murmured, tapping the door a few times anyway, before Avery could even offer an answer. Giselle was excited about joining Green Day on tour, because all damn year, she had worked to gain her report card of all straight A's to graduate high school with. She wanted to take a gap year before going to college, and there was no better opportunity than now. The girls were practically raised on a tour bus, and travelling was much better than staying at home.
