"Promise you'll actually go see mom while I'm gone," I said as I threw another pair of leggings into my suitcase.
Dallas took it out, properly folded it, and placed it on top of the stack of the leggings. I'm really basic and there's no reason to dress up on tour, especially after getting fitted for the outfits we're supposed to wear.
"Demi..." Dallas trailed off, folding a tee shirt that she had obviously missed.
Dallas had this really weird thing about visiting our mom in the hospital and I don't know why. I don't think she can handle seeing her like that, and it really hurts our mother's feelings but Dallas can't seem to get past it. But I need her to for me. Our dad works a lot so he can't always be there. I need her to check on our mom the way that I do. I know she doesn't want to, but she's going to have to suck it up.
"Can you please act like the older sister for once?" I begged as Dallas released a low huff.
Dallas lived her life according to her own rules without any consideration for what those around her have to say about it. At times it was admirable, but most of the time it was just annoying.
"I will try my best but no promises. Promise me that you won't come back from this tour pregnant," Dallas responded with a knowing look.
I told her about Trey because I didn't have anyone else to tell and Dallas had been the one pushing for me to sleep with him anyway.
"I won't. Why would you say something like that? I'm only 20," I reminded her.
Just the thought of being pregnant this young almost caused me to gag. There's nothing wrong with it, but it would definitely ruin my career and after a short break, I'm just getting started.
"You just told me to act like the older sister for once. Now I am," Dallas shrugged as I rolled my eyes. She is so annoying. I'm almost glad that we're going to be apart for a few months. Almost.
"Wait, wait, Demi, do you know this one?" Kimmie scrolled through her phone to find another song for me to dance to.
A running theme of this whole tour is tardiness. Trey is late again. It's our first day of rehearsals on the road and he couldn't be bothered to show up on time. I texted him, he read the message, but he didn't respond.
Two days ago we started tour but the first official show isn't until tonight. All of us dancers share a bus and it's kind of chaotic. Imagine an all girls college dorm room but on wheels. It's not the most comfortable thing in the world and there's definitely not enough space for all of us. We haven't done much these past two days but now Lewis wants to rehearse everything. We're supposed to be running through the whole show but that's kind of hard to do when the main star isn't even here. I like Trey but he's actually super unprofessional, like it's his world and everyone else is just living in it.
"Yes, but wait I don't know the beginning! Only the pre chorus," I said as I tightened my ponytail.
Last night, Kimmie and I discovered that we both like kpop. Well, she likes it a lot more than I do. I just think the dances are fun. Now she's playing "More & More" by Twice and I'd be lying if I said I didn't know most of the dance.
"You're gonna say more and more and more," Kimmie sang along as I danced.
Kimmie is actually super funny. So is Kai. She's recording us while I'm trying to remember all of the dance moves and she's laughing because she doesn't even know what the song is about. The rest of the girls are kind of just lounging around the stage while we goof off. At some point, everyone was trying to look busy but we gave up about an hour in. Trey is really late.
