After a quick shower I changed back into the clothes I wore before the concert when I was pretty much attacked by Sophia who launched herself at me and tightly wrapped her arms around her . "You were amazing up there. I can't wait to show you all the photos." 

"Thank you babe." I laughed and grabbed my phone. The amounts of notifications and missed calls were shocking. Although maybe not, given that most of them were from Lauren.

I rolled my eyes at Lauren's dramatics and quickly called her back on FaceTime.

"Eva, fuck, are you okay?" Lauren said before even holding her phone in front of her so I couldn't even see her properly.

"Calm your tits Lauren." I laughed and grabbed a beer on my way outside the dressing room so I could talk to her properly. "I'm fine. I'm more than fine." I was still smiling from ear to ear and I doubted anything could make me stop smiling in this moment. 

"Why did it take you so long to answer me? I was pretty much already at the airport." Finally Lauren held her phone in front of her. It was good to see her again. The last couple of days we had been texting a lot, but with her studying for her finals and me being with Bojan and the rest of the band we didn't really have the opportunity to call. Or well, we didn't put in the effort to call, if we wanted to schedule something, we definitely could've. 

"Knowing you, you probably were still trying to find your carry on." I told her fondly.

"Hey! I'm like this close to finding it." Lauren argued playfully. "Now let's focus back to you. WHAT HAPPENED?! I need to know the whole story!" 

I ran my hand through my hair and laughed. Where to even start telling this story... so much had happened leading up to tonight. "I wasn't meant to go on stage. The boys weren't able to move the date so I was supposed to just play from backstage." I explained. "I guess Bojč just managed to sway my mind. He made me realise that if I wasn't going to go on stage now, I probably never would." I said and looked back at the closed door of the dressing room. "And I'd be perfectly happy with never setting another foot on stage a couple weeks ago. But I don't know... it just seemed like not a horrible idea." I continued and snickered. "I mean, I did sorta snap at him when he first suggested it. But I couldn't shake the thought and then it just happened."
