After talking a bit more with Bruce, when we had calmed down, we talked about when the flight would take of and everything I had to know. We didn't want to stop talk, we wanted to talk for hours if we could, but I had to talk to Jennifer as well. After talking for a while with Bruce we hung up and I gave Jennifer a bell.

-Jennifer! I said when she picked up the phone.
-Nicole? She said shocked by my happiness. Knowing I had been low for a long while.
-I'm getting back! Back to the tour bus! You to! I screamed.
-Wait, back to the lads?
-YES! Back to the lads, back to Bruce! We got tickets from Rod as well!
-Wait, Rod? Wasn't he the one who got you home? She wondered.
-I know! But he wanted to cheer up Bruce a bit. He had been even lower since I leaved, but now I'm coming back! I said while smiling. I thought a bit about Bruce. I was finally meeting him again.

-Brilliant... she said a bit worried. Seeming as if she was thinking about something.
It got quiet.

-Aren't ye excited..? I said confused.
-Of course, but I don't know if I want to come with you... You know what happened last time, she said and sighed out.
-C'mon Jennifer! It will be great. You and Steve wasn't the best pair in a relationship, I know. But you guys can maybe get along as friends, I think it will be fine, I said trying to change her mind.

-...Won't it be awkward? She wondered.
-Of course not! Ye guys didn't leave angry at each other after all. To be honest, that's mostly why you leaved, because you guys didn't get a long as a pair. We will have a great time getting back there.
It got quiet and she let out a sigh after thinking over it.

-I'll give it a try, you're right I guess. When are we leaving?
I made a happy expression, saying "YES" quiet to myself without her hearing it.

-We'll leave tomorrow morning! Get yer bags ready and I'll give ye a call! I said excited.
-Brilliant, cya!
-Cya!

I wasn't just getting back with the lads, I was taking my best friend with me.

That night I had the KISS album from 1974 on repeat the whole night. Thinking from Bruce perspective, just listening to one specific song...

"It's been a month or two since I sleepin' with you
I'm comin' home again
I've been to east and west, but baby I like best
The road that leads to you

Oh girl, it seems the whole wide world seems to say
Hotels that all look the same
Just seem to drive me insane
But I can't get away
Until I receive a call that tells me that will be all
And then I hope a plane

It's true, I'm not sure if you knew
I'm comin' home to you"

Coming' home - KISS
