"Ugh..Josh?" I say. I show him the computer screen. He looks back at me. "Some of them are the same city, same time, different venue" he says. "I don't know what I'm gonna do" I say. "I've sold VIP for Canadian shows of both tours" I say putting my head in my hands. Josh wraps his arms around me. "Don't worry we'll figure something out babe" Josh says as he rests my head on his shoulder. "I just don't know what to do" I say looking up at him. " I've gotta sing 2 sets that are an hour long, do 2 sound checks, 2 sets of meet and greets and Patrick wants me to do a song or two with them and so do you. " I say. "Don't worry about it Al. It'll work out. We'll figure something out and make it work" Josh says as he give me a hug. I pull away and pull out my phone.

I dial Pete's number. "Hey Alli what's up?" Pete says. "I've kinda got a problem" I say. "What's going on Al? Everything okay with you and Josh?" Pete asks. "Yeah everything fine with me and Josh. It's about tour. Alot of the Canadian dates are the same city, same night, same time but different venue for both the tour I'm doing" I say with sadness in my voice. "We'll work out the set lists so you can do both." Pete says. "Aw thank you!" I say with relief. "We know you wouldn't want to disappoint your fans" Pete says. "Thanks again Pete" I say with a smile. Josh notices my smile and smiles back. "Gotta ran Al. Talk to you later about the set lists" Pete says. "Later" I say before I hang up. "What are you all smiley about?" Josh asks. "Pete says we'll work out the set lists so I can do both shows" I say with a smile. "That's awesome Al!" Josh says as he hugs me. "You were right when you said we'd figure it out" I say to Josh. "I'm alway right Alli." Josh says before he pecks my lips. My phone starts ringing. "Way to ruin the moment" Josh says as I pull my phone out. I check the caller ID and see it Pete again. "You miss me that much already?" I ask. Pete laughs. "Yes. I mean no. I've got the set lists figured out but we've got some news." Pete says. "That's awesome! What's the news?" I ask. "Unfortunately the only dates we'll be with Hedley, We the Kings, Marianas Trench and Classified are the 3 Canadian dates. We're doing 4 months of tour in Europe, Asia, Australia and South America." Pete says. "Uh" was all I managed to say. "Gotta run again. See you tomorrow" Pete said before he hung up. Josh noticed I was looking down again. "Al?" He asks. I feel like I'm about to cry. How am I gonna be away from Josh for 4 months. "Al? What's wrong?" Josh asks. "Uh" was all I managed to say again. I went to the bedroom and sat on the bed. Josh followed behind me. He say down beside me. "Al tell me what's wrong" Josh says as he pulled me into his lap. He wrapped his arms around me. "It's about tour" I say. "What about it babe?" "We leave tomorrow and were only doing 3 shows with you guys then we're going to South America, Europe, Asia and Australia for 4 months." I say with sadness. "It's sucks that we won't see each other for 4 months but we'll tweet, call, text and Skype every day" he says. "That's the problem Josh" I say. "How?" Josh asks. "We can't afford to text and call. It's too expensive." I say looking at him. "We can still Skype." He says looking back at me. "But we can't. The time difference. When your sound checking we're eating lunch. By the time your show starts I'm doing meet and greets. When your show ends mines just starting. By the time you head back to the bus and have time to Skype before bed I'll be playing my set. When I'm done with the show and meeting fans it'll be like 3am for you. As a singer I know how important it is for you to sleep. When you wake up I'm still sleeping. We have 4 days off on the whole tour. 2 1/2 of those days were traveling the other 1/2 were resting and the other day were relaxing. It's right after I have 3 sets and 5 interviews" I say trying not to cry. Josh held me for a while, we enjoyed the moment.

"This might be the last time for a while" I say as I crash my lips onto Josh. He kisses me back instantly. His tongue quickly finds its way to mine. We spent almost 15 minutes making out. After that we packed up everything we need for tour. By the time we finished we fell asleep in each others arms. It'll be the last time for a while. 7am came fast. We both headed to the airport to go play our first show together. The first show flew by. The second day and show flew by also. Today is the day we didn't want to come. I just finished my set and Marianas Trench are halfway through theirs and Fall Out Boy just finished theirs and are meeting fans. It's the last song of Marianas Trench's set. Josh called me out on stage while he sing Beside You. He told the crowd how I'm leaving on 10 minutes for 4 months and won't be able to see him. We slow danced to the song as close as we could. The song ended and so did the show. Patrick had gotten my stuff from the Marianas bus and its now in the FOB bus. The time I didn't want to come is here. The final 5 minutes. Josh and I just walked off stage and we're both crying. I gave Mike, Matt and Ian quick hugs before returning to Josh. We walked out back by the busses. It was time for me to go. Josh pulled me in for a huge hug. I can feel his tears on my shoulder. I really don't care if fans are watching us right now. I pull back and crash my lips onto his. He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. We kiss passionately until we hear someone calling my name. "We'll I guess this is goodbye for now" I say thru tears. I give him another huge hug. I crash my lip onto his one last time. Quickly finding his tongue for a few seconds. I pull away and peck his lips. I give him another huge hug. "I love you baby." I say. "I love you too. I'm gonna miss you" he says. "I'll miss you too" I say. I give him one last kiss before heading onto the bus.

2 months later.

I haven't talked to Josh much. We tweeted a few times back and forth. Everyday we DM each other saying "I love you and miss you.". The tour has been really good so far but I miss Josh soo much. Only 2 more months.

2 months later

We just finished up the last show of the FOB tour. And we're heading to Vancouver from Tokyo. Travis of We the Kings called me. I told him I missed my flight and wouldn't be able to perform in the final show of their tour. We actually were on a plane from Tokyo to Brazil. From Brazil we flew to Florida. Then Florida to Toronto, then finally Toronto to Vancouver. I snuck home and had a well needed shower. I did my hair and makeup and put on a fancy dress I bought in Paris. I threw on basic black stilettos and headed back to the venue. We're planning on surprising Josh. Marianas Trench were on stage now so they had no idea. Everyone else was on side stage watching. I went to the venue with Fall Out Boy. We finalized all the plans and FOB went to grab some seats to watch. I snuck the the nosebleed section of the venue. I went to an empty seat and held my microphone. They started playing the opening of 'Good To You'. Before the first verse started they started playing 'Beside You' Josh looked confuse but started to sing the first verse. As the pre- chorus came on I stood up. As soon as the chorus started the sound guys turned on my microphone and I started to sing. I made my way down the section singing the song. When the chorus ended I was at the bottom of the section. I continues to sing the song while walking around the different sections. Josh didn't know it we me singing. By the time the final chorus started I was down at the start of the floor section. A spotlight was placed on me as I was singing. The crowd started parting to reveal me walking down the middle singing. Josh started crying when he saw it was me. I ran threw the crowd and jumped up on stage. I moved in close to Josh as soon as we sang the final line together he dropped the microphone and crashed his lips into mine.
