We'd been on the bus since 7:00am which meant i had to get up at 5:00am to make sure i've packed everything i need as well as making sure bliss actually packed her suitcase.
I was sitting in the lounge area with matty, bliss, george, ross and jamie. adam and alex were fast asleep in the bunks. Luckily the first few shows we were performing at, we could stay at hotels that were closer to the venue.
"y/n check your instagram and twitter" bliss yawned putting her phone down.
"what? why?" i questioned opening instagram first. 
"that photo of you and matty is going viral"

hundreds of comments were appearing under the photo i posted just before we set off to our first venue, it was a picture of me on matty's shoulders whilst he was carrying my bags onto the tour bus.

'are they dating??'
'oh she's so pretty'
'matty healy is so hot'
'what's that on her arms'
'i can't wait for the tour!!'
'ITS ROBBERS GIRL!!'
'i wish i were her'
'they're 100% shagging'

there were so many more comments, it was quite funny. i noticed on twitter loads of 1975 fans had reposted the photo and it was trending.
"matty i hate your fans, i have a name other than 'robbers girl'" i groaned passing my phone to him.
matty laughed scrolling through the comments, "yeah your other name is matty healy's girlfriend apparently, i like that" he got his own phone out and started liking a few comments.

"might have to make robbers girl my stage name" i muttered sarcastically.
"that's not too bad of an idea" jamie said listening in on our conversation.
"really? i don't know.." i tried to think of other stage name ideas but struggled to think of one appropriate.
"robbers girl or matty healys girlfriend, i think both are suitable" matty said with his signature smirk planted smugly on his face. Rolling my eyes, i stuck my middle finger up at him and reached for my redbull.

The tour bus was very spacious and quite comfortable, it didn't feel overly crowded nor cheap. The walls were black and the floor was covered in dark oak wood. A large white, fluffy carpet lay on top it, the sofas in the lounge were large and dark brown. A four seater table was placed in the corner of the lounge where currently a load of equipment and files were sprawled across it. The bunks through the hallway were also surprisingly spacious and the bus was blessed with underfloor heating, matty had made at least five inappropriate jokes about the bunks being able to fit two and how he feels sorry for whoever is going to be under his bunk as i'm on tour with them. George had joked that matty wasn't going to be the lucky one and that he'd win my heart instead which caused matty to be in a mood for about an hour of the drive.

"Bliss wake up, wake uppp" i whined shaking my best friend awake.
"what." she glared, she was still mad we didn't stop off at mcdonald's for hashbrowns.
"can you do my nails pretty please i'll get you five hashbrowns for breakfast tomorrow" i smiled giving my best puppy dog eyes.
"fine go and grab my brown bag, it's somewhere over there" she said pointing near the table.

FLASHBACK

"hey [nickname] what are you doing?" mathew said walking into my small, box like room. I was sitting against one of the white walls writing,

'think i've lost my brain,
what a shame,
you can forget my brain
but please, remember my name'

"writing a poem, Sandy the only nice nurse told me to write them to distract me. it's not working i hate this" i laughed scrunching up the paper and throwing it to the bin.
"did you write any poems before you came here?" mathew asked sitting down beside me.
"a few, but mainly songs" i sighed.
"yeah i'm the same, i have a band back at home. they're like my brothers." he said with a smile, reminiscing about his band mates.
