Today was the day of the first show of the tour. To say I was nervous was an understatement.

Nobody had ever heard my music before, what if they hated it? What if I got booed off the stage and my dreams shattered before me? Then what would I do?

Calum told me it would be fine, he told me it would all be alright but how did I know?

It was two hours before the concert and I was continuously pacing the dressing room. Calum was lounging on the sofa, his legs over Luke's lap.

"Ava relax, jeez it'll be fine" Luke exclaimed, I returned with a glare.

"He's right Av, come with me." Calum said, taking my hand and leading me out of the room. He took me into the empty room opposite and kissed me softly.

"Calm down babe, it's all going to be okay."

"I sure do hope so."

"I love you baby."

"I love you too."

"Ava your on in 1 minute" Somebody said, thrusting a microphone into my hands which were uncontrollably shaking.

"I love you and I'll be right here watching you." Calum said, pressing a kiss to my temple.

"Yeah you'll smash it." Mikey smiled, pulling me into a hug. Luke did the same, as did Ash. I hesitated at first but his insistency changed my mind so I returned it.

"And your in on in 5, 4, 3, 2..."

Making sure I couldn't back out, Luke and Mikey pushed me out onto stage, screams erupting immediately. I walked cautiously to the middle of the stage, placing the microphone into the stand.

"Hello London, how we all doing tonight?" I shouted into the microphone, screams answered me, making me grin.

"I'm gonna take it as your doing good yeah?" More screams. "In case none of you no me my names Ava and I will be Five Seconds of summers support act for this tour!"

"So enough about me, who's ready to hear some songs?"

Yet another load of screams answered me, so I took the answer as a yes.

"This is Take My Pain Away."

"You gotta feel it

bet it keeps you up at night

you know that I'm leaving

everything will be alright

And even when I'm miles away

You got me high like cocaine

we're moving faster than a freeway

and I can feel you in my veins

baby take my pain away

take my pain away

Hit me like a kick drum

love me like we're still young

we're older but we're still the same

baby take my pain away

take my pain away

So,this ain't easy

I'll make worth it if you see it through

days, without speaking

probably think I'm over you

And even when I'm miles away
