Dépaysement (h.s)

59

Delilah Lavigne

We parted ways with Gemma yesterday after we had breakfast with her, I can't leave the part out of her showing me many pictures that she had of Harry when he was younger, we went on a task last night which involved Niall and Louis bickering the whole time on who got to either steal the money or crack the code, and now we're in Nashville, Tennessee for day 23.

The boys are sound checking right now as Jade and I roam the halls of the venue singing It Wasn't Me by Shaggy.

"We should start a band ourselves." Jade laughs as we finish the last line out of breath.

"I can play the piano but that's as good as it gets with me. Let's just hope you can play something because those vocals are shit." I point at her playfully and she grabs my finger, pretending to bite it.

"You bitch! I never said I was good, trust me I know I sound tone deaf." She sticks out her tongue and I poke it with a laugh.

My phone starts buzzing in my pocket so I pull it out and an unknown number pops up, I furrow my eyebrows with a hum and Jade nudges me, "Who is it?"

I bring my screen close to her so she can see, "It's unknown." I shrug and her eyes widen with a sly smile, "Very obscure. Answer it, it's probably a stupid twelve year old prank caller."

I roll my eyes and press answer, "Hello?" I cross my arm over my stomach, ready for a prank call.

"Delilah Lavigne?" The person on the other side answers the call to.

I bring my head back and look at Jade with narrow eyes, she urges me to put it on speaker but I dismiss her, "Who is this?"

"My name is Myra, I work for an article called The Tennessean, have you heard of it before?"

"It doesn't ring a bell, sorry."

"I know you're affiliated with the band Hypnotic and I was just wondering if you could possibly allow me to interview you on your experiences on tour with the band?"

"Who is it?" Jade whispers and I hold my finger up to silence her to which she rolls her eyes impatiently, "Uh, now is definitely not a good time because they have a show soon but maybe after? I can call you back later tonight or tomorrow morning?"

"That is perfect! Thank you so much, just call me whenever and I will give you the location and time. Have a good day!" She hangs up and I turn to Jade, "Some lady who works for an article wanting to interview me about touring with the band." I explain to her.

Her face fills with confusion, "Why you? How did she even know you?"

I shrug with pursed lips, "Maybe I've been photographed? I have no clue."

"What's the article called?" She questions, "The Tennessean."

She pulls out her phone and searches the name then shows me her phone with a confused face "Yeah no, you shouldn't do it. This is like a news article, not an interviewing article. I don't buy that shit."

I laugh at her skepticism and we continue our walk around the venue, taking a few pictures of each other in front of signed pictures from famous people who have previously played in this venue, and arrive back at Niall's dressing room.

The guys all sit on the couch with sweat dripping down their heads and look out of breath, "God it smells like a boys locker room in here." Jade plugs her nose and Niall furrows his eyebrows, "How do you know what that smells like?"

She averts her eyes away from him, "Uh, never mind what I just said." She laughs nervously and I burst out into laughter at his face.

We make small talk about the upcoming show until it's time for them to perform, Jade and I get our passes and head to the side stage as they all walk on with bursts of cheer from the huge crowd. It's almost like each show they have, the crowd gets bigger and bigger even though it's all the same size venue.
