I won't give in. (Denis Shaforostov, Asking Alexandria)[NOT EDITED]

Nine days later I stood side stage, watching the guys rehearse their set as I balanced the vocals, making sure that Denis's mic was louder then Ben's, and that Ben and Cameron's guitars fed equally to the speakers.

They worked through their set, occasionally stopping to mess around.

When they finished, they came off of the stage. "When is Lunch?" James asked me. Along with working to balance sound, I helped manage their schedules and PR.

"You have an interview with Alternative press in ten minutes in your dressing room. Lunch will be brought to you during the interview.

"I could kiss you right now." James smiled. I cringed at the thought. James was like my brother.

"That's nasty bro." I laughed as we walked down the stairs to their dressing room.

James laughed as we walked in and they all took their seats on various couches.

"You look nice today Nova, what's the occasion?" Ben asked. I looked down at my black skinny jeans, white loose tank top and combat boots, my hair was up in a bun with a bandana tied around my head like a headband.

"What are you talking about Ben? I look like I do any normal day." I laughed.

"Well compared to last tour."

"Last tour I was dressed in horrid clothes because I knew that I was going to get vomited on almost every day by a drunken Danny." I laughed. "Denis I already like you better because you have gone 24 hours without vomiting on me."

"Good to know how to stay on your good side." He laughed.

The venue manager Radioed into my ear. "The reporters from AP are here."

I hit talk on my radio. "Send them down." I replied.

"The reps are here?" Sam asked.

"The food is here." James smiled brightly.

I laughed, getting up to go open the door for the reporters.

The guys all walked around the room, grabbing food, getting ready for their signing.

There was a knock on the door and as I went to go get it I tripped on the rug.

I was quickly grabbed and held steady by Denis.

"T...thanks." I smiled awkwardly.

He chuckled.

"Be more careful next time." He smirked.

He made sure my balance was steadied, then released me.

I walked to the door, a bit embarrassed by what had happened, I let the reporters in, my face extremely red.

"I'm uh...gonna go make sure everything is ready for tonight."

A few hours later I returned to the dressing room, knocking on the door.

"Are you all dressed?" I asked.

"Come in." Ben yelled.

I walked in, immediately seeing a naked James, I shielded my eyes.

"You said you all were dressed!" I shrieked.

"I said to come in, I never verified that we were dressed." Ben laughed.

"James do you have your pants on?" I tapped my foot impatiently.

"Yes."

"Does everybody else have their pants on?"
