Chapter 5 Part 4: Start Of Tour.

Cassidy:

Perri's alarm wakes me up at 3:30am. I roll over and rub my eyes. I sit up and look over at Pel, he's putting on his glasses. I push back the covers and go over to the wardrobe. I pull on my fashion joggers, a plain white top, my white vans and my leather jacket. I put my hair up in a messy bun then head into Ava's room. I take her into the kitchen and warm up some baby food. I feed her as Perri gets ready. Once Ava's finished I put her on the sofa and turn on Disney Junior. I grab my daisy bag by vans and fill it with snacks, drinks, makeup bag (since I have none on) and I throw my phone in there as well.

"All packed and ready?" Perri says kissing me on the cheek.

"Yeah!" I say putting my bag by the door.

I grab Ava's travel bag from her room putting it next to mine, then picking her up and turning off the TV.

"Let's go." I say following Pel out the door.

We drive over to Pel's mums house.

"Thankyou for doing this!" I say giving Ava a hug.

"No problem, we are coming to see you on Wednesday." She says leaning on the door.

Me and Pel say goodbye to Ava then head over to Dancework.

"This is the first time I've spent a night away from Ava." I say looking out the window.

"Awe babe!" Pel says placing his hand on my thigh. "You deserve this break."

We pull up next to Sam's car and pass our suitcases over to the tour bus driver. 

"You excited Cass?" Jord says nudging me.

"Yeah! I'm so excited!" I say as we all climb aboard.

We are heading to Birmingham for the first night of the tour. Apparently it's a complete sell out! I can't wait. 

Our journey takes about 4 hours. We pull up outside the N.I.A and get taken in by security. The arena is huge! We put our bags side stage and go on to rehearse. The crew talk to us about lighting and smoke machines, then the band talk to us about how the music will sound. That takes about an hour and a half. After that we begin to run through the numbers. Then it's mine and Pel's dance. We block our number out. We have smoke machines and a disco ball. It's very romantic. Once we've ran through it the boys whistle and cheer.

At 3pm we stop and have some food from the restaurant nearby. I start to get nervous.

"You'll be fine babe!" Perri says putting his arm around me.

"How did you know that I was nervous?" I say looking at him.

"I can tell! I've known you a while now!" He says pulling me into a hug.

After we've finished our food we head back into the N.I.A and head into the dressing rooms. I've got one to myself hence me being the only girl. Hair and Makeup file in to create a whole new look. They make my eyes pop and my hair looks amazing. They've created a very heavy smokey eye but it looks so cool. Plus they've given my hair lots of volume by creating beachy waves. 

At six thirty we all meet in Ashley's dressing room for a group pep talk.

"Well, to start off, Cassidy you look amazing!" Ashley says.

I look down and blush. "Thanks!"

"Right, this is the opening show, we need to rock this. Give all the energy that you've got. Make the crowd go crazy. Ready, 1-2-3 - DIVERSITY!"

We all put our hands in the middle and complete the chant. After we go side stage and wait. When the lights go down the crowd begins to scream. Perri kisses me quickly then gets into position.

The boys absolutely rock the first half. After the interval we continue with our dances. Mine and Pel's dance opens the second half. The crowd erupts after we've finished.

The last number goes so well. It was defiantly something to remember.

"Well done everyone! You rocked it!" Ash says hugging all of us.

We go back to our dressing rooms and get changed. Once we are all ready we get back on the tour bus and settle down for the night.

Bring on tomorrow!
