ONE TEMPTATION || [L.P]

The Night Before Tour..

(April Finlay's pov)

Miami, Florida. I spent the night in my hotel room preparing for tomorrow. We are staying in the Faena Hotel, it's located right along Miami beach. I stay up rehearsing continuously, reading along the lines of the written music, a slight appearance of blood even hit my fingers with each chord played and string plucked. "April!" i hear on the other side of my door, followed by a knock. I open the door to find our tour manager, Jake, standing there waiting to fill me with information. "You must be in the lobby by 8 for soundcheck. Bring everything you need as we'll be at the stadium for a while." I agree as Jake walks down a further two doors to get to Ezra's. I shut my door and begin to think to myself what to bring. The checklist in my head begins, guitar, guitar picks, amp, capo...

Tour begins tomorrow. The excitement begins to fill me as i sat, slouched back in my hotel suit joined by the rest of the band. Harry, Louis and Zayn all occupied with a video game, Niall sat opposite me scrolling mindlessly through socials. I snap out of my thoughts as i hear a knock on the door. I arose out of my chair and answer the knocking, only to find Jake stood with a clipboard and pen reading off information, "Be at the lobby by 8. Bring everything you need for soundcheck," before i even got to answer he was already pacing away, most likely to inform the other crew. This tour has majority of the same people as last, same band, same crew, same manager. Of course, there are some new crew that i'm very excited to work with but until then i'm just sat in this hotel room, along the beautiful horizon of Miami beach. I walk back into the main seating area, informing the others of Jakes instructions, "be downstairs by 8, bring everything for soundcheck," i get a few hums and nods of agreement then i take myself out into the balcony. I hear the others begin to pack their things and move back to their own rooms to prepare for tomorrow. I glaze out at the setting sky as i begin to think about the upcoming events of tomorrow.

I hit the annoying ring of my alarm off before dragging myself out of bed and beginning to get ready. My equipment was already prepared and ready to go from last night so all i had to do was slip on some clothes, touch up my face with some makeup and brush out my hair. I quickly put on a grey hoodie and matching bottoms before making my way to the bathroom and start applying concealer, mascara and a bit of lipgloss just for now as the show isn't until tonight. I tye my hair up in a ponytail, grab my things and head down towards the lobby. I stood in the elevator watching the floors descend, 5...4...3...2...1... as i reach the lobby i scan my eyes around in hope of finding someone i know. I finally spot Nora standing with Casper and Ezra and begin making my way over to them. Already wrapped up in their own conversations, i just simply mutter some hellos and join in with whatever topics were being brought up. A few feet away i notice the band. Harry, Louis, Zayn, Niall and most importantly, Liam. I've been touring with the band for the past couple of tours and there's just something about him. Something that gives me butterflies everytime i'm around him. Something that makes me wanna projectile vomit when his names brought up. Something that makes me feel all warm and giddy just by the thought of him. Something that makes my heart leap at the sight of him. Something that makes me wanna spend my life with Liam Payne.
