24: Goodbye, Latin America

Alex's POV:

We toured around the famous sites in Bogota: Plaza de Bolivar, Botero Museum, Museum Nacional de Colombia, and Parque de la. It was a fun trip that we get to tour around first before performing our show. I took photos of every scenic view of the said spots and they were all kept on my phone.

Tonight's show was a blast. Movistar Arena was fully loaded and overhyped as the crowd sang along with us especially in the outro, Just The Two of Us. And the fans here are really friendly and almost most of them got to take memorable photos with us.

After the show, the boys and I made our way to the Cabrera Resto-Bar in the city capital. Breana and Kelly didn't come along with us, since they went back to their respective homes for work purposes. We ordered martinis that cost for about $4 (Colombian Peso) for the four of us. A Latin music was playing on the background.

We talked about the two remaining parts for the tour and then after this, we'd be back in Sheffield again to have a break and to slowly plan for our upcoming album to work on by next year.

Jamie then ranted us about his conversation with Bridgette they've been doing well as of the moment and Avery and I just kept joking and me, flirting around with her. Since our last chat, I didn't text her after that, updating of how our tour rent.

After drinking at the bar, we made our way to the local stalls in Bogota, Jamie and Nick literally bought Wayuu Mochila bags whilst Matt and I ended up looking around. I already shipped my presents from Mexico to my parents in Sheffield. Mum gave me a video call when the moment she and dad received the souvenirs, and they said my present was delightful. I miss them so much.

And then my eyes found a chocolate that is being sold; when the moment Matt and I approached it, the chocolate's called, The Chocolate Santander, a famous chocolate in Colombia. We bought the milk and dark chocolate flavour since we're chocolate persons.

Jamie commented after Matt and I bought the chocolates, "Can I have some of those, mate?"

"Nope", I replied, giving him a mean tone.

"Come on Alexander and Matthew, where did you buy that?", Nick interrupted as he was too curious.

I pointed them the nearest store, "Right over there", Jamie and Nick made their way to the chocolate stall in which we bought our souvenir.

We waited for them, and eventually Nick and Jamie ended up buying tons of chocolate unlike Matt and I did. They're trying to make us envious and I just rolled my eyes at the two of them as a sassy response towards their actions.

Until we came back to the hotel, there were some people who still took photos with us, I blame myself for being too tired. As I saw my own self in one of the fans' photos, I eventually laughed at my tired expression, Oh Alex, you should've make your fans proud. I looked haggard in the photo as I told the fan but she just said it's alright since she appreciated seeing me for the first time in person.

I immediately took off my shirt and laid down on the bed and began playing Reptilia by The Strokes. Avery's also a fan of them, Oh alright. She shares every song I like. Santiago in two days from now and next week would be the very last, in Asuncion. After this, spending time with our families in Sheffield, the moment where we could spend our fall and winter season.

Avery's POV:

A week has passed since our examinations occurred. I was nervous of seeing my results even though I studied harder and harder. We were in the university, checking our results and I prayed and prayed that I'd get passed even if I couldn't make it to the Chancellor and Dean's list . I confidently checked mine, as some of the students from my major also checked theirs. I didn't approach the board as my hands were already shaking and took a deep sigh first before doing so.
