(the song is the cover When we were young by Andy Beirsack and Juliet Simms. original is by Adele.)

(Bill has Andy's part and Rory has Juliet's part. when it is Rory's part the lyrics will be bold. when both of them are singing it will be bold and underlined.)

(Rory POV)

The next day me and Bill woke up early and went to the studio. We finished the song that we had been working on. We wanted to keep it a surprise for the concert. It was a long process but thankfully we packed early. The song came out beautifully. We ended up getting to the airport before everyone else. Me and Bill decided to board the plane which the company owns. We barely used the private plane. Only if we are touring in the U.S. the plane looks kinda like any private plane. It was more space-ish and the seating was more like booths. There was an eating area, bathroom, etc. I went into the bathroom to change from my pajamas to simple black sweatpants, a white hoodie, and I honestly didn't think to wear shoes since it was our own plane. We sometimes will sleep in here if we use it for vacations. The beds are organized just like the beds in the tour bus. I had my hair down and had my glasses on. I hate having bad eyesight. I feel like I'm wearing my glasses more and more by the day. Riley was lucky being gifted with perfect eyesight. I sat in a booth across from Bill since he wanted the seat in front of the tv screen. I sighed as the girls and the other boys walked in. Tom made Bill let him sit next to the window. Gustav and Georg sat in the back with Blair and Jara. Riley and Rain sat in front of me. A friend, Hannah, was with us. She sometimes films and takes photos of us while on tour as a part of the tour documentaries. She had Max with her. Hannah sat behind me and started filming. "Rory." She said pointing the camera over her shoulder and at me. "You're already filming?" I questioned as she giggled. "Yeah. Someone needs to film these memories." She said as she filmed the twins. Bill waved as Tom had his earbuds in and started lip singing and dancing. Hannah and I laughed as Tom looked at us and just continued. "I swear he's an idiot most of the time." Bill said, drinking his orange juice. Hannah kept filming, mainly Max.

Once reaching LA we walked through the airport with security surrounding us while screaming fans surrounded us. Many had signs they wrote. At one point a girl ended up throwing a whole bouquet of flowers at me. I took them and saw they were china roses. Once we reached the tour bus I sat down near the front taking off my book bag and setting my suitcase to the side. The others scattered while we slowly made our way to the stadium.

It's been a few hours and the sun was setting. The tech crew were finishing up as me and the girls decided to go to the field and do gymnastics for some reason. It was mainly Hannah filming me and Riley doing tumbling. Which was difficult because it was a field and not the bouncing floor that gymnasts have. "Come on, do something cool." Hannah whined at me. Me and Riley were both wearing gym shorts, cropped spaghetti strapped tank tops and had our hair in either buns or ponytails. Since the floor was fake grass we just took off our converses. "Dude, it fucking sucks. This ground fucking sucks." Riley complained while out of breath. I shook my head and started tumbling. Hannah ran to keep up with me while she cheered happily. "Yes! That's what I'm talking about!" She shouted as I dropped into the splits. "Are you flexible?" Bill asked as he and the boys walked in with Wendy's take out. "Obviously." I said as I stood up. Tom immediately smirked and opened his mouth but I covered his mouth with my hand. "Don't even think about it." I said as he sighed, putting his dirty thoughts aside. I uncovered his mouth as Georg handed me my food and left to go give the other staff workers. The stage was also being built at this time. It had the main stage and it had two walkways meeting in the middle to the second stage more out in the field. "Welcome to The Eternal tour. Where a war between the good and the bad finally begins." a demonic like voice came through the speakers which was a part of the intro to the show. Jara came from the back with Georg holding two blankets. Georg took one as he and Gustav laid the blanket down. Hannah took one end of the other blanket as she and Jara laid the blanket down next to the boys. We all sat down and started eating. I sat in between Tom and Rain as Rain was basically yelling at Kiko and Max to back up. Max obeyed but Kiko didn't. I ended up throwing pieces of my food in the distance as the dogs ran off. Music started playing from the loud speakers. It was the instrumental to the new song. Bill and I got up to stop the tech crew but I ran back and grabbed my food before running after the frantic Bill just before his lyrics came on. After getting the tech crew to put on a different song which was now monsoon, I had finished my food and grabbed the frisbee for Max. I grabbed Kiko's toys as well and handed them to Jara before throwing the frisbee and Max ran off and caught it before running back. Riley ran off as Rain and Blair ran off in the distance as well. The four of us started playing catch as Jara played with Kiko with Georg. Bill and Gustav started talking about something in German as Tom watched the scene. Hannah was filming everything. She filmed us, Jara and her dog, the boys, the scene of the built stage with music videos playing on the big screen, the sun settling down into a range of reds, oranges, and purples. I threw the frisbee one last time before Hannah told the four of us to get together for a photo. The three of them came closer as Riley had Max sit in front of all of us. She took a photo before yelling at the others to join as well. "Hey! Get in!" She shouted as everyone gathered. Me and Riley stood next to each other as Bill stood next to her and Tom stood next to me. Jara held a barking Kiko in her arms smiling as Georg stood next to her. Gustav stood between Blair and Rain grinning at Rain who was yelling at Jara about her dog. Blair just laughs as me and Riley smile. Just before Hannah flashes her camera I wasn't expecting Tom Kissing my cheek as she took the photo.
