Hey guys! Happy Tuesday!

As promised, I'm posting every day this week - and since I only have a chapter and a bit left to write, I'll be posting extra on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day to finish up the book :3 This is the final tour chapter (for this book ;D) but I hope you enjoy it

Summary: The last few days of tour end with a bang, and a music video

Chapter song: Losers - Aryia

WARNINGS: Language

-

After the show in Louisville, I helped the boys come up with a little interlude for the part of the show where we would play Losers. We decided to stay at an AirBnB that night as opposed to a cheap hotel which had been so much more comfier, as I was able to relax once I had the work done and I got to sleep with Aryia alone again.

We had been brainstorming ideas at the merch table that evening, so we all had a pretty good idea for what we wanted to do for the song intro once we got to the BnB.

Unsurprisingly, they had asked me to play the little keyboard segment that I'd made for the beginning of the song to count them in and had come up with the humorous idea to pretend that Jason was a keyboard for Aryia to play. Part of me felt like they'd shot me down from playing the instrument but I went along with the idea from how quirky and unique it was as none of the other bands we were playing with doing anything like this.

I'd had to run through it a few times since Aryia wasn't as used to playing keys as I was, but he'd got it in the end and we managed to make a fun little start to the new song that the fans all loved when it came to the next show.

...

When we reached Oklahoma, we were all feeling a little tuckered out. Mainly from all of our break days which were so scattered, but also from things like Aryia's migraines, being stuck in a van on the road for six plus hours every day, and even though I didn't want to mention it, my pregnancy was starting to tire me out too.

Aryia and Nick had sat down in the room of the hotel we were staying in that night to film videos for their YouTube channels; Nick filming a Q and A after he'd posted a questions filter on Instagram earlier in the week for his and Aryia's fans to respond to, while Aryia had filmed a confessional.

He'd let slip my pregnancy a couple of times when he was filming and I'd been a little worried - since we were both adamant that our parents and families should know about my condition before the fans and our other friends, but I wasn't too worried since I knew he would cut it out when he was editing. This was also the second time during tour that he'd really had time to himself as I was taking a shower at the time and the rest of the band were out getting food or on the phone outside; so really, it was the perfect opportunity to film an insert video for the tour vlogs.

I felt proud watching and listening to Aryia talk about his feelings and how much he felt he had grown since the start of our tour. I'd seen it myself in the way that he sang and even in the ways that he'd helped me with my pregnancy; even with small gestures like buying me Taco Bell when I had cravings or carrying heavier boxes into venues when I had muscle pains. He'd also been super sweet and gave me a massage one night when I mentioned how stiff my shoulders and back felt. If it wasn't clear before, he was definitely going to win Boyfriend of the Year for the third year in a row this December. There had been a lot of personal challenges, but we managed to get through them all together even though we were all sleep deprived in a van or a shitty hotel with five other people, it just made it even more bearable because we were getting through it together and pushing us to see what kind of people we were under pressure. They were Aryia's words but they really rang true and I agreed with him whol-heartedly. We all loved the tour life, and right now I was happy to be here making memories with my favorite people.
