Waking up today was the most difficult thing. I was excited because I was out of the hospital, but the bus was freezing cold. Somehow someone turned the AC all the way down to like -40 degrees.

I got up and I started towards my backpack. I pulled out a tee and a pair of jeans. I was wearing my all time low shirt with black jeans, along with my blink sweatshirt. Well more like Michaels but I stole it from Ash who stole it from Luke who stole it from Michael.

"Hey that's where my sweatshirt went!" Michael yelled.

"Shhh!"

"Relax Dylan everyone's awake," Luke said coming in the room. Ash and Cal followed behind them.

"Sorry I didn't know," I said.

"It's cool," Ash said and came behind he wrapped his arms around my waist. This time I didn't feel self conscious about it at all.

We've spent the last week traveling to our destination. This week Ash has gotten a good amount of sleep each night, and I've been eating three meals a day. I've actually been getting hungry in between the meals which is good. It shows how much I've grown.

"Ash," I said blushing as he kissed my cheek.

"What is it a crime to tell my girlfriend she's beautiful?"

"No I'm sorry," I said turning around.

"It's fine don't say sorry," he said.

"Okay I'm sorry," I said and laughed. "I say sorry to much."

"Yes yes you do," he said and leaned in. Our lips smashed together and I got these butterflies in my stomach that just never fade.

"I love you," I said pulling away.

"I love you too," he said breathlessly. He grabbed his things and started to change.

"When is our first show?"

"Tonight," Michael said.

"But don't be scared everyone is going to love you guys," Luke said.

"Yea don't sweat it," Cal said. "They're going to love you Dylan I just know it."

"That's good," I said . "That's good."

"Yea," Ash said.

I was honestly so scared of this. I was scared of being judged by the people out there. There is going to be over 10,000 people there. 10,000. That's a large number. A very large number.

We only played for a maximum of 12 people before and now it's 10,000. We've come so far now we can't stop.

I should really go for a run. It would help me get my mind off things for right now. I decided to get changed into my gym clothes.

I then got my earbuds on and put my music on. I started off at a slow pace to get used to this. I felt this burning in my chest and for some reason I liked it. It felt good to run and do this.

Before I knew it I was running back up to the bus. Looking at the clock I saw it was 4:00 p.m. Our sound check was at three, and I missed it.

"Hey why did you miss sound check?" Riley asked running up to me.

"I'm sorry I was running and I lost track of time."

"Oh," she sighed. "Are you okay I mean like really are you really okay?"

"Yea I mean before my run I was a little nervous about the show but now I'm not," I said. "Thanks for wondering though not many people do."

"I'm always here to wonder if your okay or not," she said giving me a hug.
