Battle of the Bands

-Julie's Point Of View-

"Okay." I said quietly as I nodded, "Let's go."

"Piggy back ride!" Kyle shouted and the next thing I knew, I felt him jump onto my back.

Oh, I can't do this!

"I'm going to fall!" I said quickly as my knees began to buckle.

"Her face is turning red!" Austin said before he laughed.

I felt Kyle's weight lifted off of me and in the same moment, I was twirled around and lifted up onto Kyle's back.

"Better?" Kyle questioned.

"Much." I answered as I smiled.

"Good. . .Now to the green room!" Kyle shouted before he shot off in the general direction.

I squealed and gripped onto his shoulders tighter.

The rest of Forever The Sickest Kids, Ryder, and Melissa followed behind us.

When Kyle and I entered the green room he set me down on the couch and then ran over to the drum set in the corner of the room, picked up Bob the pink flamingo lawn gnome, and brought it back to me.

"Bob missed you." Kyle said as he held out Bob to me.

I smiled, took Bob from him, and kissed him on the beak.

Kyle looked at me, to Bob, and back to me again, "Y'know, I missed you too." he said as he smiled sheepishly.
