"Do you really have to leave?" Nicole said, trying to get me to stay.

"I don't have much of a choice." I said.

"Can I come since you can't stay?" Nicole asked.

"You won't be happy out on the road." I said.

"I would be happier than I would be here without you." Nicole said, starting to tear up.

"Dennis, come on!" said my manager.

"Go." Nicole said. "I'll stay here."

"I love you, you know that right?" I said.

"Sometimes." She said.

"I will always love you." I said.

"Yeah, you say that, but I know I won't ever see you again." She said.

"Dennis! We don't have all day!" my manager said, getting upset.

"I love you, Nicole, and I promise that I will see you again, believe me." I said.

"Love you." She said.

"I will call you when I land." I said.

"Ok." She said.

"Bye." I said, grabbing me bag, and giving her a kiss.

"Bye." She said, wiping away a tear.

"Dennis, if you don't come now, we are leaving with out you." My manager said.

"I'm coming!" I said.

"What took you so long?" he asked while I went up the stairs that lead to our jet.

"Just, sayin' goodbye." I said, starting to feel a little bit guilty. I look back to Nicole when I get to the top, and wave goodbye. Then I grab my bag and I went and took a seat across the aisle from the other guys in the band. They ask if I'm alright, I say yes. Even though I feel like I have forgotten something, and I know that it is Nicole.

After it took off, I put my head phones on and I closed my eyes to try to fall asleep. By the time I wake up we should be almost there, in some city in New Hampshire. Cities sometimes are hard to remember, and my mind isn't on remembering cities at this point.

The jolt of the plane woke me up, it normally does. I pull my headphones off and put them bag in my bag. I pull out my phone and with no surprise it is dead, so I toss it back in the bag, and zip it up.

"Watch out Manchester! Here we come!" said one of the guys. Leave it to him to remember where we are, he's good at that, no doubt about it he is "the remember-er".

"Are you all ready for your tour kick-off?" asked the sound guy.

"Yeah, I have a feeling it is going to be epic!" the remember-er said.

"I bet it will be." The sound guy said.

"I think so too, I mean has Manchester ever let us down before?" said our manager.

"Not yet, let's hope they don't know." 'The big bro' said. Is like a older brother, that's why I say that.

"Well we should get busy, because the show is at eight and you two (me and the remember-er) have an interview at four, and greet and meets after that at six. And you guys have to get set at the hotel, so we are pressed for time." Our manager said, on the verge of freaking out, like normal.
