Chapter 1

"Thank you all for coming to the show tonight. I love being here in Doncaster, love the way all of you beautiful people come to my shows and make it possible for me to do what I do. This will we be the last song for tonight and also for this tour. This is Kill My Mind. Sing along." As soon as he finished his speech the beginning chords to KMM started playing. He knew he needed to end not just this show but this whole tour with a bang, so he gave it his all.

He still can't believe that after everything the last year brought that he finally managed to go on his tour in 2021. And finish it without having to postpone any more concerts. Louis couldn't be more grateful. He was so excited to start his tour in 2020 but after Covid-19 hit he knew that the health of all the people was more important. After pushing back the tour to 2021, he felt a little disappointed since he already played his first show in Barcelona, but then couldn't continue. Then in December of 2020 he postponed the Europe part of his tour which he honestly wasn't too sad about because he could add more tour dates.

Louis didn't realise it at first, but after announcing his live show with Veeps it turned out that there were a lot of his fans in smaller countries that would love to see him. So naturally he organized shows in those countries in smaller venues. The feeling of being so close to his fans will always be his favorite. The big venues have their positive sides too, but nothing beats interacting with the fans in the arena and being close to them, more importantly them being close to him.

Now after several months of touring, the last concert has arrived. Louis is currently in Doncaster, it's the 11th of September and after tonight he will take a long, deserved break with his family here.

"...And I don't know what I'd do without you now," he sang the last words to Kill My Mind quietly, maybe even with a sad note. "Thank you Doncaster. I will see you on the next tour, with new music. I love you all." With those words Louis bowed on stage once, straightend back up and turn around with a big smile on this face. He walked down the stairs behind the stage to get to his dressings room. On his way their his crew congratulated him on a succesfull tour. The band and Louis agreed on meeting in his dressing room in a thirty minutes to have a celebratory beer. In the meantime Louis decided to take a quick shower. Usually he hated showers in venues, even more than he hates avocadoes. But today he wanted to enjoy a beer with his band to reminisce on the last few months and then go their seperate ways for their deserve time off.

After his shower he got dresses in simple black sweatpants and a white hoddie, both of those pieces being from his merch line, ironically. He has to admit that his merch is very comfortable and he even choses it over adidas most days, just never in public. Celebrities who wear their own merch kinda weird him out. A knock pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Come in," he shouted out to his bandmates, who he knew were there. The door opened and the lads came in, wearing the same huge smile like he had. "How are you feeling guys?"

"I think I speak for all of us when I say relieved and sad at the same time. A weird mix to be honest." Isaac answered truthfully.

"Understandable. But I am right there with you guys. Beer anyone?" he said with a smirk on his face, since he knew the answer already. As expected he got five yeses back. He went over to the fridge, got out 6 beers and handed them out.

"So what are your plans for the break?" Michael asked. A simple question, but he didn't have an answer. The only plans he has are for doing nothing for a while, but with his family. During tour they sometimes had a chance to come out to see him, but the school year just started again and Dan didn't want anyone to miss school already. Lottie had come out more often since she was an adult and could make her own decisions. But he hasn't seen her since July either. All he wanted was to spend some time with them, may it be shopping, homework or even making dinner. "I plan on spending some good time with the family for a few weeks and then going back to London to write some new tunes for the next album. What about you lot?"
