We spend about a week travelling around Scandinavia, doing interviews, appearances and not to forget; shows. After travelling through Finland, Sweden, Norway, back through Sweden to Denmark, we play two shows in Germany, one in The Netherlands and the last show in Belgium before we head over to France and head back home. The shows are all amazing, very similar but amazing. We perform our setlist, have some fun with fans by pointing them out, singing happy birthday and some even tell me random jokes but we also enjoy reading the signs they have made out loud. The fans throw things on stage varying from our own 'dolls', the classic pants and bra, glow sticks, food, empty water bottles etcetera.

Being on tour makes me feel alive and I highly enjoy the interaction with the fans but after this many weeks, I long to be home, to spend time with my family, my friends, Louis. I haven't heard much from Louis after our late night phone call. He texted me to let me know Ben and him are working things out and that he's been very busy with work, football and basically just living life. Don't get me wrong because I love my life but often I get jealous of other peoples freedom. Just being able to walk outside without people recognising you or taking pictures of you wherever you go.

It gets a little much sometimes. Liam and Niall don't have any problems with it because they're usually not the paps' target. They get to live their life outside of the band without it being documented every single day. There have been several times where Niall had a girlfriend and the fandom didn't know about it because the paps just don't seem to care and he was pretty good at hiding his relationship. Whereas Liam just dates and no one bats an eye, they get their pictures taken at premiers and people know they're together but it somehow isn't interesting enough to write an article about, unless they break up of course.

Zayn is struggling with fame a lot more. He gets very anxious when a new album comes out or before the first few shows of a tour and he prefers to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible. Dating someone like Perrie Edwards doesn't help much either. Zayn is a lot more reserved or as the fans call it 'mysterious'. He doesn't like to talk about himself an awful lot and prefers to have the others answer questions during interviews unless the question is directed towards him. I like comparing Zayn to Mentos; Hard on the outside, soft on the inside.

We're currently on the bus, driving through a small France village where we'll have our last stop before heading to Calais to take the Eurotunnel back to England. Niall and Liam are playing Fifa, sitting so close to the TV that it can't do any good for their eyes as Zayn and I lay on the couches behind them. "So what are you looking forward to most after we get back home?" Zayn questions.

"Probably just sleeping in my own bed, spending time with friends," I tell him and see him nod in agreement. "Can't wait to see my family and just hang out at home, alone or travel" he replies. "Ah, you little introvert!" I laugh and pat his head. "Nothing wrong with being an introvert" he huffs. "I never said there was. Are we there yet? I want to stretch my legs" I sigh but don't get a reply as Zayn has buried his face in his sketchbook, busily drawing whatever he had been working on earlier.

We get to the train a little early which I'm very happy about and as soon as we're in the queue to get on the train I jump off the bus. The driver informs me that the queue will start moving in 15 to 20 minutes so I have to make sure I'll be back on by then. Zayn also steps outside for a breath of fresh air but Liam and Niall stay on the bus, playing video games. It's too hot for a sweater and beanie so jeans and a t-shirt will do, hoping there aren't a lot of fans in the queue or area.

I absentmindedly walk around, kicking a stone every once in a while and just listening to some music on my phone. I can't believe the European leg of the tour is already over, we've met so many people. There were so many interviews, photo shoots, so many fun memories but I'm glad to be home in several hours. Being in my own house, my own bed, my own tub and after a day off we have one more day filled with several meetings the day after but we'll actually have a few weeks off as soon as the meetings end.
