"Ooo, this one has to be my favourite so far!" Gracie exclaims. The pair were currently situated on their shared bed in the hotel room of Dublin. Morgan had her camera out and was showing a couple of the photos she took that night since it would take forever to go through with the amount she took.
"You look beautiful in all of them. They're all my favourite" Morgan says softly as she places the camera down on the bedside table before getting situated. She then looks up to see Gracie already looking down at her, "you okay?"
"Uh... yeah.. yeah, I'm all good. Just thinking" Gracie replies with a small smile as she sinks into the bed so both girls are now laying on their sides facing each other.
"What's going on in that mind of yours, Miss Abrams?" Morgan asks before seeing Gracie's small smile grow slightly at what Morgan calls her. They both hold eye contact as Gracie keeps thinking.
"I just.. this whole thing is slightly crazy isn't it? I mean, I've toured before but I never remember any of the venues being packed like this one was tonight" Gracie explains.
"That just means your music is getting out there more. You're going in the right direction, and you won't stop. You're gonna be big, I just know it" Morgan replies with a smile as she places a hand on Gracie's jaw. Gracie feels comforted by Morgans words as she closes her eyes with a smile and leans into her hand.
"We also have to be up early tomorrow so we better get to sleep. Good night Tiny" Gracie feels Morgans hand slip from her face before she hears shuffling and then silence. She opens her eyes to see Morgans back.
She immediately misses the feeling of Morgan's hand on her face. She needed it back, and she didn't know why. She didn't know why she felt so strongly for someone who probably didn't feel the same way back. Maybe all of her affection was just her being a good and nice friend. Or maybe she's just like that with everyone.
Gracie didn't end up sleeping that night. She lied awake, watching the ceiling as all of these questions came one by one.
As soon as Morgans alarm went off she knew she was fucked. She had to travel to Glasgow today and perform a show tonight. She was exhausted. Gracie felt Morgan shuffle next to her before they sat up.
"G'morning love" Morgan says as they sit up and rub the sleep from their eyes. They turn over to look at Gracie, "did you sleep last night?" Morgan asks her. She notices to exhaustion in Gracie's eyes immediately.
"Yeah! Yeah, just for a couple of hours though but yeah I did" Gracie lied. She didn't want Morgan worrying for her, that was the last thing she needed.
"...alright. Well, I'm gonna take a quick shower and then we need to head on the road" Morgan says before getting up from the bed and making her way into the bathroom.
Time skip
Morgan, Gracie and her team finally made it to Glasgow and now are running a soundcheck. They usually have a couple fans come in to say hi and listen but due to being slightly behind they couldn't for this one.
Gracie's exhaustion shows on her face and in her voice as she messes up a couple lines.
"I can't get too close i just- oh fuck I keep messing it up!" Gracie shouts into the microphone, shocking the band into silence. Morgan hears a drumstick drop to the ground and looks up from her camera at Gracie's shout.
"That's not the title of the song sweetheart" Morgan smiles from the front of the stage, but it soon turns to a frown when she sees the look on the younger girls face, "hey, what's going on?" She asks as she places her camera down in the chair behind her and jumps on stage.
"I'm just so tired, I barely slept last night and no matter how many coffees I have I just can't get these lyrics right!" Gracie's exaggerated, throwing her arms up in the air before falling back down to her sides, "god, how ironic is it that I keep messing up a song called 'mess it up' I mean..." she sighs, running a hand through her hair.
"I thought you said you slept fine?" Morgan asks and receives a pity look Gracie, "I knew something was up with you this morning. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I just... I figured you were overwhelmed with coming on the tour anyway. You know with all the flashing pictures and screaming fans, I just didn't feel the need to drop anything else on you. I already dropped this tour on you last minute" Gracie explains, grabbing her arm and looking down to the ground.
"Hey..." Morgan says as they put their hand underneath Gracie's chin and move her head to look at her, "I'm not overwhelmed. I'm fine. I just need to know that you are okay" Gracie stares for a couple of seconds before replying.
"I'm okay. I just need to get through soundcheck, have a quick nap and then I'll be fine for tonight's show. I promise" Morgan smiles at her reply, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear before pulling her into a hug.
"Okay Tiny" she replies as Gracie lays her head on Morgan's chest and Morgan's head was on top of Gracie's. They were like that for a few seconds before Gracie speaks up.
"Thank you" she whispers.
"What for?"
"For being here"
"Anything for you, Tiny"
