Bailey's POV
I planned to spend the day with Harper before I had to sing at the concert tonight, but Harper is working with her brother to help him bring back his voice.

I can understand why she's doing it, but I really wish I could spend some time with her too.

Anyways, instead of spending time with my girl, I'm stuck hanging out with Hardy and Ernest.

Harper's POV
Morgan and I try hard to fix his voice all day with no avail. When the concert starts, I leave my brother to go watch Bailey sing.

When Bailey's finished up, I go back to Morgan's tour bus to check up on him.

"Your voice any better?" I ask. My brother sighs and shakes his head.

"No. I hate to say it, but I think we're just gonna have to cancel, Harp." Morgan mutters. I nod.

"Okay. I'll go tell the crew so they can announce it,"

"Harper, make sure they say that I'm gonna give everyone refunds, okay?" Morgan adds. I nod.

"Okay. I'll do that,"

When I get back stage, Ernest is up on stage singing. Hardy already sang and he walks over to me.

"Is Morgan singin' tonight?"

"No. His voice is shot," I reply. Hardy swears under his breath. I sigh and shake my head. "I know. It sucks. I'm gonna go talk to the crew so they can announce it to the crowd. Morgan's plannin' on givin' everyone refunds too,"

"Okay. Thanks for the update, Harper." Hardy says. I nod.

"Of course. See you later, Hardy."

"Yeah. See you later, Harper." Hardy says with a nod.

I sigh in exasperation as I make my way over to the crew to tell them what's going on. This is probably my least favorite part of my job. Disappointing fans.

"People are so rude," I mutter as I fall back on the couch. Morgan and Memphis both frown.

"Why?" Memphis asks. I sigh.

"People were throwing drinks on stage and shouting curse words all because Morgan wasn't able to sing. I don't get it. They literally got a refund for their tickets. That's probably a whole paycheck back into their pockets because, no offense bro, but your tickets are expensive." I explain. Morgan nods.

"Yeah. They ain't cheap, I won't deny that, but they're probably mad because of having to pay for hotel rooms and other expensive stuff just so they could be here."

"That's true. I just wish people weren't so rude all the time," I mutter.

"I just hope no one starts any rumors. Some people just love ruining other people's lives. And no offense, Mo, but you have already had some problems in the past if I remember right." Memphis says. Morgan nods.

"Ugh. I hated dealin' with all of that. Ever since then, I've been keepin' Morgan on a tight leash when it comes to alcohol consumption. I'd prefer him to not say racial slurs in a bar ever again," I explain.

"Don't worry about it, Harper. I'm sure everything'll be fine. How much damage can people do when a singer loses their voice?" Hardy says.

Suddenly, Memphis's phone vibrates with a text. She checks her phone and she doesn't look happy when she sees the text.

Memphis had gotten a text from Lainey Wilson with a video attached to it. Memphis pulls it up and shows it to Morgan and I.

"I just found out what damage they can do," she mutters, looking angry.
