Chapter 46 Big Blue Tents and First Encounters

I was already changed and brushing my teeth when Smith got out of bed with a groan and stumbled in. 'What's the time?' he asked, I put my tooth brush back in the bag and turned around, his hair was a mess and was still in his boxers. I chuckled at the state of him, 'It's eight it think. How you feeling?' I asked putting my arms around him. 'A little rough but I will be fine.' He said before bending down to kiss me. I left him in the bathroom and told him that I was going to go and get breakfast.

I walked down to the restaurant and there were a few people already there Ross was sat with Turps at a small table drinking a steaming mug of something, Hannah, Kim and Katie were all sat together eating their breakfast. I went over and picked up a mug of tea and decided I wanted to go and sit with Turps and Ross. I put my cup on the table and sat in between them. 'How are you feeling?' I asked Turps and he nodded, 'Not too bad, I think better than some.' He said looking over my shoulder, Smith appeared with Sips and they were both at the breakfast bar.

Sips and Smith sat with us until we were told to get ready to head to the event. Smith said he was going to get our stuff and would meet me out the front with the others. We all loaded back onto the coach and headed off.

Once we were at the venue I was in awe, the sheer size of It was ridiculous, the tents were like the ones they use a circuses and there were already more than enough people dashing around. 'Hey, you alright?' Smith asked putting his hand on my shoulder, 'yeah just nervous I guess.' I told him and he kissed the top of my head. 'it's alright, we are going to our area and you can take it all in but we need to get there soon.' He told me I nodded and I held his hand as we followed the group.

We walked a fair way into the biggest blue tent, there was loud music and a massive stage as you walked in. People wearing green shirts at every door and wandering around, people with cameras and equipment. Walst I was taking it all in I wasn't really paying attention to where we were going and Smith suddenly let go of my hand. I looked at him then I saw the big sign and everyone's avatars on a big board, there were shelves of merch and some of the guys from the office like Sam and Harry were walking around looking busy. There was also some of the green shirt people stood by the long table in front of the board. The people in the green shirts, there were only three looked at the group looking very excited. Once we made it to the stand Lewis spoke to them, 'Hello can we help you?' he asked with the rest of us kind of stood behind him. 'Hey we are the volunteers that are on crowd control and we were wondering whether we could get signatures and pictures now before people show up?' A tall ginger girl asked him. 'Sure just let us dump our stuff, is there any one in particular you want or all of us?' Lewis asked, she said if it wasn't too much trouble all of us, Lewis looked back at us all and nodded.

We went behinf where all the merch was kept into like a partitioned off wall, 'this is where you can leave your stuff, take a brake whatever.' Lewis said opening a door, there was a table with water on it and foldable chairs lining the perimeter of the space. 'once your done come out this way, this is signing.' Turps said before going through the door he pointed out. I stood and watched at people either sat down or followed Turps out. 'Hey can I talk to you quick?' Smith said grabbing my arm. 'We need to be careful.' He said I looked at him confused. 'If the people catch wind of anything going on between us them we could have an issue on our hands.' He told me, 'I got it.' I told him and he kissed me on the forehead and walked out the doorway. I left my bag behind and did the same. Smith, Ross and Trott were all down the other end, Lewis and some of the others were talking to the people in the green shirts. 'Alright?' Trott asked and I nodded, 'What do I do?' I asked and he chuckled, 'you say hi they ask you to sign something and make them feel comfortable, they think a lot of us and it normally means a lot to them when they meet us. Sit between Smith and I and watch.' He said as the tall ginger girl walked up to us sliding a poster of Sips along. 'Hey how you doing?' Smith said to her. 'Good, looking forward to today.' She said then she slid the poster in front of me. 'How are you finding working with the guys then?' She asked me. 'Err, well it's fun that's for sure, never not busy.' I told her looking at the poster I saw where Smith had signed and everyone else's Hannah had drawn a owl on hers, others had just written their name. I picked up the sharpie and wrote Abbey and drew a star at the end connected by the Y. 'There you have got my first ever autograph.' I said sitting back looking at it, she smiled and thanked me and moved onto Trott. 'See not too hard.' Smith said and squeezed my leg under the table. The other two people came over and asked for their stuff to be signed too. There was a slight back log, the ginger girl was talking to Ross but she moved on. 'We have half an hour until gates open people.' Turps shouted down the line. 'Trott mate do you want to go and check out the table top zone?' Smith asked leaning back on his chair looking around me. 'Yeah go on then.' Trott said standing up, 'Woah wait where are you going?' I asked grabbing Smith's shirt as he stood up but let it go remembering what he had said. 'We will be back soon, just don't wander off Katie's over there if you need anything.' Smith said I smiled at him and he and Trott wandered off.

I walked back to where I dumped my stuff and grabbed a drink off of the table, Kim was sat on her phone and smiled at me when I walked in. I hadn't really spoken to her at all since she broke up with Ross. Turps came in and grabbed a drink as well, 'Where did Smith and Trott go?' Turps asked and I told him they went to the table top zone or something, 'Ok, they better be back soon.' He said looking at his watch, he looked slightly stressed. 'How are you enjoying it so far?' he asked, 'It's good, a little nerve racking but I am sure I will get the hang of it.' He nodded before going back out. I sat in a chair on the opposite side of the area to Kim. 'How's life at the house?' She asked putting her phone down. 'Alright I suppose.' I said. 'Can I ask how Ross is?' She asked after a momentary pause. 'He's been better.' I told her. 'It's my fault isn't it?' she asked I looked at her. 'It's not your fault that you can't deal with who he is.' I said standing up, 'But it's not his fault either.' I said before walking back out. I stood next to Katie, she was sorting merch out, 'You ready for this?' she asked. 'Sure.'
