will we talk? {sam fender}

59

"to finish tonight! this is will we talk!"

the drums to will we talk start to thud and it feels like the whole arena is shaking with excitement.

i should have sam on stage with me right now, it's the only way to sing this song properly, but i think i'll fall in love with him again if he is on stage with me, playing the guitar and harmonising with me.

"if you dance with me darling
if you take me home
will we talk in the morning"

"they leave
weave around the nights commotion
and dodge a Mexican stand off
and catch a cab back to his flat

there's no romance
sprawled out across the couch
can't even make his fucking face out
an age old ritual"

i sing my heart out to the final song of this whole tour, i'm finding comfort in knowing sam is somewhere watching me right now in this arena.

"thank you newcastle! i love you good night!" i shout into the mic before bowing with my band and running off stage

i feel sick, there is sweat dripping off me and i am shaking. it's probably just the nerves and build up of this last show.

someone passes me a bottle of water which i gulp down, everything's a blur as i am rushed back to the green room.

there are so many people around me, i can't wait to get out of here.

my ears are ringing as haley taps my shoulder "well done lacy that was great!"

i don't have the energy to smile at her so instead i flop onto the leather sofa and breath out a long large breath.

the door opens and sam and tom come in with big smiles on their faces "you were class lass!" tom smiles pulling me up off the sofa and into a hug

"aye proper good like" sam smiles now pulling me into a hug, i think we're both on auto play as i melt into his arms before realising what is happening.

we awkwardly move away from each other and i smile politely "thanks guys"

"so what's the plan? ya going out an' about?" tom asks me grabbing a snack off the table and munching on it

"to be honest, i just want to get into bed" i chuckle awkwardly, if i were to go out it wouldn't be with these two.

"aye that's fair enough" sam agrees with a nod "what time are yer leaving?"

"probably soon"

i go into my dressing room and get changed into my hoodie and leggings and take off my makeup, it feels good to not be caked in makeup and out of an outfit that is way too tight for me.

once i have finally sorted myself out, i thank the staff and everyone there, it's a bit emotional thanking my hair and makeup artists for the last time.

and it's even more emotional saying goodbye to my stage manager aaron, he's been here for the entire tour telling me what to do.

"it was so nice to see ya pet" tom smiles at me
as the three of us stand in the private car park of the arena.

"aw thanks for coming" i smile

"yer going to have to come see us on tour now like" sam chuckles, i nod with a big smile. his blue eyes are still alight even in the dark

"oh definitely"

"yer going to have to drag lewis along too, the dick is ignoring me messages" sam says, oops that may be my fault. lewis hasn't been too keen on sam at the moment purely just to show me support.

"ah sorry that may be my fault" i laugh awkwardly, we say our final goodbyes but without hugs before they get into a car and i get into my car.

i message lewis to tell him i'm on my way home before i start to drive up to glasgow.

"and now on the radio we have a song from lacy hope and sam fender, lacy actually sung it tonight at the final night of her tour, despite the two being broken up. this is will we talk on radio X"

word spreads fast, i feel sick just thinking about what people have to think about bruises.

it's a song that exposes so much of me, but i was ready to sing it.
