Reality ➳ one direction

Chapter Six

Well, it's Tuesday. Today is the day we leave for the tour. It's currently 3 am. We leave at 4 am since there is an interview at 1 pm with a radio station. This is definitely one thing I will have to get used to when being on tour, getting up early that is. I hate mornings so much. I feel like Jesus and coffee will be my best friends for the next few months. I hope to be a good friend to the boys, also. I believe that can be one of the best ministries: showing love and building relationships. Through that people will see the Love of Christ in you.

I was looking around, making sure I had everything. "Okay, let's see here," I thought. I grabbed my purse, which was on the floor next to the couch, and put it on the counter. Rummaging through it I said, "I got my charger, my wallet, extra makeup," I unzipped the side pocket making sure I had some lady products, which I did. "Well I guess I'm set."

I arrived at the studio since that's where we were meeting. I got my luggage out of my trunk and walked inside meeting Paul, all the guys but Louis, and most of the staff. Because the whole crew was quite big we had more than one bus. I was talking to Paul, asking him questions about how everything was going to be. He was explaining everything to me, and he told me not to worry about anything, that it was all going to be okay. Harry and Liam walked over and starting talking to me.

"So are you nervous since this is your first tour?" Liam asked me.

"A little." I replied smiling a bit.

"Eh. Don't worry. They aren't that bad." Harry said with his slow raspy voice. You could tell he was tired. His eyes were a little puffy and his voice was six times more raspy and slow.

"Of course you would say so. You are used to them. You know it's not often a girl gets to go in tour with her favorite band, who is also the biggest boy band in the whole world." I said.

They chuckled a little. Just then Zayn and Niall walked up and joined the conversation.

"So, where's Louis?" I asked.

"He's running late. As usual." Niall said with a little attitude.

"Well someone obviously isn't a morning person." I said to him.

He gave me a look that well, I'll just put it this way, if looks could kill... I would've been dead right then and there.
I just gave him a look back, all in play so don't worry, and then turned to the other guys.

"Don't be mean, Niall." Liam said. Yep. There is daddy Directioner coming out. He acted as if he was getting on to a 9 year old boy the way he said it.

"Hello." I heard a voice coming from behind me. It sounded like Louis. I turned around and sure enough, there was Louis walking up to the guys and me. We all said hello and talked for a few more minutes. Paul eventually came and said that it was time to go. I walked up to Paul and asked if we could say a prayer really quick for safe travels. He said we could so everyone gathered in a circle and I led the prayer.

"Dear Lord, we thank you for this day that you have given us. I pray that you will keep us safe as we travel these next few months. I pray that you give the ones who will be away from families peace and comfort. Just lead us and guide us with every step we take. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen." The prayer ended with an Amen. We all loaded on the busses. Paul showed me which bus I would be on and I got to chose my bunk. I chose the very top, of course. I set my luggage where it was supposed to go and got into my bunk. I decided to get just a few hours of sleep while I could.

About an hour and a half later I heard someone knocking on the side of my bunk. I rolled over and opened the little curtain. There was a young girl, probably not much older than me, standing there "Hey. My name is Carmen. I was just going to let you know that we are stopped at a gas station, so if you want a snack or need to go to the restroom, now is the time to do so." Carmen informed me.
