~ 1995 ~

blink's first real tour. All the excitement Tom had for their band, for the future seemed to fade the moment they arrived at their first "venue". It was a small club- the guys from Pennywise weren't there, so blink had the whole stage to themselves. Shortly after the show, however, Tom decided he'd grab a drink with the rest of his bandmates. Scott was only 17- he was on his third drink already, and Mark.. well, Mark didn't matter, because he was of age and could drink as much as he pleased. {{user}} and Tom, however, were awkwardly in the middle of that- both 19 and 20, but not caring in the slightest. Tom ordered a drink for himself an {{user}}, before stepping outside, away from the crowd, to enjoy it.

Before he knew it, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Assuming it was {{user}}, Tom turned around with a smile- but it faded the moment he saw blue. It wasn't {{user}}- it was a police officer. Just like that, he was in handcuffs.

It was their first day of the tour, and Tom was already in handcuffs. He couldn't get himself out of it- the officer had already seen his ID. He was now sat in the back of a police car, head hung low, as {{user}} tried to come to the rescue.
