"Ryan! I swear on my Nana's life I will kill you if you do not stop being an ass!" Liz yelled at him as she loaded the van and Ryan T watched her do so. The boys were all partying by then and Liz was ready to party herself, but the merch needed to be loaded and Ryan T wasn't about to load it for her.
She placed the last box into the trailer, sighing heavily in defeat once it was set down. Liz hopped out of the trailer, pushing it up from the back and latching it quickly. She looked at Ryan, glaring at him and shaking her head angrily. Without a word, she passed by and made her way into the van to change into a shirt that wasn't sweaty. She pulled her shirt off, still wearing a tank top after having learned her lesson on the first tour. Quickly Liz pulled on her clean shirt, tossing the dirty one into the back and grabbing a random hoodie off the floor, she slipped into it as she climbed out of the van.
"Nice hoodie," Ryan T smirked at Liz, looking her up and down, "Danny's clothing became yours now?"
"Shut up Ryan T," Liz shot him a dirty look, walking by and going towards Toad's Place's back doors. She ignored Ryan as he made a few snide remarks and just kept walking inside. The minute she was in the door Ryan O'Connor handed her a beer and threw his arm around her shoulders, "You're late."
"Thank your lovely other Ryan for that. He just stood and watched me load everything!"
"I'll talk to him for you, if I can remember tomorrow morning..."
"Thanks, you're a doll," Liz smirked, patting Ryan's cheek before slipping out from his hold on her. Ryan rolled his eyes at her, shaking his head as Liz walked away from him and headed into the party. She found the drink table surrounded by boys and opted out of hanging with Joe and Seth. She scanned the room, spotting a few possibilities. Seeing Vinny, she abandoned her other choices and quickly made her way over to where he stood with two boys she had seen but not met yet. Vinny spotted her, smiling widely and pulling her under his arm so that their hips bumped, "Boys, meet the only female on this god forsaken tour, Liz. Liz, meet the techies. This one that looks like a twelve year old is Alex Greico, but we just call him Greico to avoid confusion with dumbass over there."
Vinny nodded toward Alex, who was speaking loudly to a group of girls Liz figured he brought along, and rolled his eyes in response. "This is the most amazing boy you will ever meet, Matt. Flyzik is his nickname, since it is his last name and all, and he is the tour manager and guitar tech and bass tech and sound tech."
Liz nodded, shooting the two of them a smile, "Pleasure to meet you both! Matt, I admire you for doing what you do. Greico, well, nice to meet you!" The group started to laugh as Greico feigned hurt at her lack of appreciation. Vinny dropped his arm from around her shoulders and shook his empty cup, smirking, "Be back soon ladies!"
Liz nodded, someone else catching her attention. She frowned at the sight she saw, glancing to Matt and Greico, "Hey...I need to do something. I'll see y'all around."
She set her beer down with no intentions of going back for it, heading out towards the boy she spotted sitting alone. Liz plopped down into the seat next to Danny, smiling softly at him, "What's wrong kiddo? Not in the mood to drink or is something bothering you?"
"I just, I've been having trouble with the lady. We'll work it out. We just fight constantly now so, I don't know. Trouble in paradise."
"Want to go out to the van and talk it out over a beer?"
"Please?"
"Okay, I'll be out there in just a minute. Go ahead I'll grab our drinks."
"You're a lifesaver Liz, thank you," Danny smiled, reaching over and squeezing her shoulder as he walked by to go outside. Liz nodded, walking the opposite direction towards the drink table. As she got closer, Joe and Seth stepped in front of her, arms crossed and glares on their faces. Joe took a drink of his beer, returning his arms back to their crossed position as he stepped forward towards Liz, "What was that?!"
"What was what?"
"You, Danny, that!"
"Oh, that! Danny needs to talk because him and his girl are having trouble, and, we all know he comes to me for that," Liz smirked, patting Joe on the head before she walked around him, "I'll talk more later, I need a beer."
Liz continued to the drink table, grabbing the first two beers she could find and taking off for the door. She ignored Ryan T as he tried to bug her once more and continued on, making her way to the van with ease. Liz climbed into the back of the van, offering Danny one of the Bud Lights she managed to grab. He took the drink quickly, greatful for it, and reached for his keys. He quickly popped the top off and took a swig as quickly as he could. Liz stole the can opener, popping it open and taking a long drink from the bottle. "Ready?"
"Not really, but I need to," Danny took a deep breath, letting it go slowly and shaking his head, "I don't know where to start with this. We just...we were perfectly fine until I had to leave for tour. Then, all of the sudden everything is not okay and I'm wrong about everything. It's like she is mad at me for following my dream, but, whenever I come home she encourages me and wants me to keep at it!"
"She just misses you Danny..."
"All we do nowadays is fight though, and even when I'm home she finds something to pick a fight about. It's like she wants us to just break up!" Danny took another drink, shaking his head and looking over at Liz with a soft smile, "Thanks for dealing with me, by the way, and is that my hoodie?"
I wanna know everything about you...
REST IN RESULTS
"No problem, I don't mind really," Liz laughed, nodding and sipping her beer, "Yes, this is yours. No, you cannot have it back tonight. I'm using it and rather comfortable."
"Whatever Elizabeth," Danny shook his head, raising his beer towards her before taking his last sip of it, "Lets hangout here tonight?"
"Sure thing Danny. Remember, we have a whole three month tour to party..."
"God don't remind me..."
