6. footy, fun and fans

Much to your refusal, your management had already booked you, Dylan and Oscar tickets to the next England game. They insisted that it'd be good for your image, reminding you that the British public love football and if they were to see Deaf Moths supporting their girls then that could welcome even more amazing opportunities for you guys, potentially plunging you into the overbearing amount of football hooligans playlists.

You'd finished getting ready, not bothering to purchase an England shirt as you knew the boys wouldn't either. In your eyes, there was no point. You didn't like football. You didn't understand football and You were fine keeping it that way.

As you sat in the back of car that'd been sent for you, you decided to send a message to the boys in the groupchat that you had seemed to be neglecting recently.

As soon as you thanked the driver and stepped out the car you ran towards to two giants accompanied by security a few feet away. "Here she is, not late this time" Oscar joked whilst flashing a toothy smile at you whilst you rolled your eyes. "Oh I see, You're late always and we all don't mention it. The one time that i'm late it's basically plastered across your brain."

Dylan laughed at the pair of you before saying, "As lovely as this is, Tony told us to wait for you and then find him." You nodded your head in response before following behind one of the security guards assigned to the three of you.

You walked through the back of the stadium quite quickly, making jokes with your band mates as you did. Oscar couldn't stop mentioning how if it was just him and Dylan at the game Tony wouldn't have even had to assign security because he'd square up to everyone. Dylan's arm stayed permanently around your shoulders as you reached the door to the Friends and Family area.

Tony had mentioned how his wife was friends with one of the England players mum's and she helped to sort the seating arrangements for the three of you.

The four of you made your way to sit towards the back, you knew you were here for publicity but you didn't need to sit front and centre - you didn't plan on paying much attention anyway. You checked your phone as Dylan and Oscar entertained themselves by seeing how much they could annoy each other and Tony spoke to another person seated near you.
