Danny's pov:

After my call with Am, we had to go to the venue to do the soundcheck and everything. I hated that Amy was feeling shit now that she was alone. I mean, if I would be home I'd look after her and make sure that she's gonna be okay. Now she's alone, and well, Am is quite hard on herself sometimes... I really hope that she'll go to Rina or Jessica if she needs any help and that she won't be too stubborn. Even though I doubt that, cause she can be extremely stubborn...

"Dan we're here!" Mark said waving his hand in front of my face. I looked up and realized that I had been staring while I was thinking about Amy and hadn't even noticed that we're already at the venue. Mark had told Rina that Amy's ill as well, so that she could keep an eye on her. That reassured me a little bit but I'd rather be with her myself. Not that I don't like touring, don't get me wrong. I love touring and playing to all our amazing fans. It's just that this is my first tour away from Amy and, well, I already miss her...

"Yeah, I'm coming." I said unfastening my seatbelt and stepped out of the car. I shut the door behind me and followed the lads and the crew through the back entrance inside of the venue. I walked to our dressing room where I put my bag down with things I'd need for tonight, like my clothes for the gig and clean clothes for after the gig. A few seconds after me Glen and Mark came walking in as well and did the same as me. We sat down on the couches in the dressing room and just chilled for a while.

"Dan, you don't have to worry about her." Glen said, obviously noticing that I was thinking about her the whole time.

"I know, I know. I just can't help it." I said sighing.

"She'll be okay mate. I told Rina about her and she'll make sure that she's okay." Mark said trying to reassure me as well. 

"Yeah, you're right." I said more trying to convince myself than them.  We relaxed for a few minutes more until the door of the dressing room opened and someone of the crew asked if we were ready for soundcheck. We stood up and followed him to the stage where everything was already set up for us. Mark took one of his guitars while Glen took his place behind the drums. I put my earpieces in and walked over to the microphone. We started with 'paint the town green', cause that's gonna be the first song we're gonna play, and we worked the whole setlist of like that. 

When we finished the soundcheck the people for the parade were let in. They were all standing in a line in front of the stage, looking at how we were messing around with each other. After a few lads of the crew explained to them what they had to do, they all got a green flag so we could try it. Luckily everybody understood it, and did what they had to do so after two times we were satisfied. We took some time with them to just talk to them and take photos, cause they were fans after all.

After that we went back to our dressing room to kill the last few hours until our gig. I grabbed my phone and scrolled through twitter. Amy and I had confirmed through twitter that we're together a few months ago. It wasn't like it was a surprise cause we were spotted together countless times. The first months I could get away by saying that we were just friends, until there were photos of us holding hands, and kissing. When those photos were in the paper and online I had to ignore the tweets asking about us. But a few months ago we decided to tell that we're together, cause we're together for almost two years, it was time to tell. But, like I said, it wasn't really a surprise. I'm just glad that most of the fans were happy for us, and said nice things. I just told Amy to ignore the haters, which was hard for her in the beginning, -I totally understand that-, but now she's okay with it. A lot of fans DM her as well or send her tweets and like we do, she reacts to a lot. I love it to see that she's so sweet to our fans, and that they're so sweet to her.

I replied to some tweets until I saw a tweet from Amy, who was answering tweets from fans as well. A girl asked her if she missed me while we're on tour and she replied with,

'@Leanne_: Yeah, of course. But it's okay cause I know that he loves performing🎤'

I smiled to myself when I saw that and decided to reply as well,

'@Amy_Roberts @Leanne_ I miss you too, babe❤️'

Seconds after I sent that tweet there were a lot of reactions at how cute we were when we were tweeting to each other. I spent almost an hour tweeting to fans, Am had stopped bit earlier.

Our gig was in an hour and a half so I decided to get ready so I could call Amy before we'd go on stage. Otherwise it would be too late if I'd call her after our gig. Well, I think it's too late cause I think that Am's gonna go to bed early tonight. I changed into the clothes that I'd be wearing tonight and put my contacts in cause I was wearing my glassed today. I re-styled my hair in the bathroom and walked back to our dressing room where I found Glen, Mark, Ben and Rodney starting to get ready as well. I grabbed my phone and dialed Amy's number. I walked out of the dressing room so I had a bit more privacy while I was talking to Amy. That's a downside of touring, you barely have any privacy... After a few rings she picked up the phone,

"Hi!" She said, her voice sounding hoarse, but I could hear the happy tone which made me smile.

"Hey babe, how are you feeling now?" I asked, deciding to ask her immediately how she was feeling, to stop myself from worrying.

"Still the same, only the headache it a bit better." She replied.

"Well that's a start." I said trying to see the positive sides.

"Yeah... How was your day?" She asked, changing the subject.

"Good, even though we didn't do that much. We went to the venue after I called you this morning and did the soundcheck. We just chilled after that and now we're getting ready for the show." I said quickly summing up what I had done today. We talked for a little longer until Mark came and told me that it was time for cheeky hour. Amy obviously heard Mark in the background cause when I returned to her she was saying that she hoped I had an amazing show. We did the stupid 'I love you more, I love you most' game until I gave in and we hung up. Smiling I walked back to the dressing room, it was nice hearing Am before we have to go on stage. I really hope that she's feeling better tomorrow...

When I entered the dressing room I was met by Mark who handed me a glass, while having his own in his other hand. Glen had something else in his glass cause he doesn't drink.

We just did our last song, 'hall of fame' and were walking of the stage. The roar of the crowd still ringing in my ears, high from the adrenaline and sweat all over my body. It was an amazing gig, sure, there we made a few mistakes cause it was one of the first gigs of the tour. But they were just small mistakes and I think the crowd didn't really noticed. I took a towel and quickly wiped the sweat of my face and hung it around my neck. I walked to our dressing room to get my clean clothes and have a shower. I quickly looked on my phone and saw that I had a text from Amy saying that she was going to sleep. She had sent it an hour ago so she's probably asleep by now. I decided not to reply, scared that that would wake her up and I want her to have a good night of sleep. 

I took my clothes and went to the showers. I washed all the sweat out of my hair and from my body before I stepped our again. I changed into my clothes and waited for a little longer until everyone was ready and the cars had arrived to take us to the hotel where we were staying tonight.
