Andrea Ross is a rising star navigating the challenges of fame, love, and loss. Haunted by the tragic death of her best friend Jacob, she struggles through toxic relationships and the pressures of Hollywood. When she meets Sebastian Stan at a Marvel...
Andrea still spent nearly every free minute with the band. Even after the clash with Simon, the boys kept welcoming her into their studio sessions, at least when they knew he wasn't around. She'd sit off to the side, watching them jam, joke, and work through new songs.
But as fun and happy as the band looked like from the outside, Andrea knew it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Andrea saw the upsides and downsides that went on off stage, the positives and negatives.
Each of them had their own struggles with the gruelling schedule, the pressure to stay on top, and the constant demand to be at their best. The toll showed in the tension that sometimes simmered during rehearsals or the exhausted looks they exchanged over early-morning coffees. But it was Zayn who seemed the most affected. Andrea saw it in his quiet moments, in how his silences grew longer and his gaze distant, as if he were slipping into a space they couldn't quite reach.
One day, during a break in the studio, Liam casually mentioned their upcoming tour. "We're hitting the road again soon," he said, a small smile breaking through the fatigue. "It's going to be mad."
Harry nudged her with a playful grin. "Andrea, you're coming with us, yeah? It's tradition at this point."
Andrea's heart warmed at the thought. Touring with them had always been one of her favourite adventures—sharing memories, late-night talks, and the thrill of standing beside them as they took on the world. "I'd love to," she replied, her face lighting up. "Just let me know the dates, and I'll see what I can do."
Later that night, her phone buzzed with a message from Louis.
Andrea immediately went to check her shooting calendar for A Small World and, with a sinking feeling, saw that filming for Season 2 was set to start on June 8, right as the band would be in Houston.
