The High Life. The final stretch

Chapter 27

Rhianne POV

I got home and Connor was playing with Evie. I thought he would have taken her to the label by now.

"Hey babe." I said walking into the living room

"Hey sweet." He said smiling

"What the movie premier?" I asked

"I know old.....But you remember that Harry potter play they did back in 2016?" Con said

"Yeah. Harry potter and the cursed child." I said

"Well they've made it into a movie." Con said

"That's cool." I said smiling

"Yeah. We've been invited to the premier." Con said

"Cool." I said

"Do you want to go?" Con said by the look on his face he was half expecting me to say no

"Yeah sounds like a good night out. Lilly can look after the kids. Will get Ben round and the twins so that Jodie can come." I said

"Okay." Con said looking surprised.

"When is it?" I asked walking into the kitchen

"Week Friday." Con said following me with Evie in his arms.

"Cool." I smiled

"Pay Lilly and Ben to look after the kids." Con said

"Yeah. 5.30 an hour. What time does it start?" I asked

"7." Con said

"Okay so half 6, will make sure Lilly has enough milk for Evie so she can put her to bed and if she wakes up. Back about half 12 ish. So that 6 hours. There's 7 children so." I said counting on my fingers.

"£50. Each?" Con said

"Yeah that should fine." I said

At 4 Lilly, Ben, Casper, Jessie and Grace walked through the door I had picked Blake up at lunch time so he was already home.

"I did It!" Jessie shouted

"Well done. Knew you could do it. thought you were going to ring me?" I said

"Wanted to tell you when I got home." Jessie said running straight at me holding out his arms.

"Fair enough." I smiled

"Well done Jessie." Con said

"Thanks dad." Jessie said

"Need to call Luke and Ash." Jessie said

"Use the house phone dude." Con said

"Okay." Jessie said letting go off me and heading into the living room to get the house phone.

He called Ash and Luke and they both shouted down the phone at him. which caused him to phone away from him at arms length. We all laughed

"When are training sessions?" I asked when Jessie came back into the kitchen 10 minutes later

"Thursday straight after school. They start this Thursday." Jessie said

"Great." I smiled

"Sir said I could wear my kit if I wanted." Jessie said with excitement.

"That's awesome." Casper said smiling

"Yeah." I said

Over the next 2 weeks not much happened. Me, Jodie and Charlotte went shopping for outfits for the movie premier. All the kids were coming to our house. Edward was also come to our just to keep an eye because it was a lot of kids for Lilly and Ben to look after but I had said that he wasn't to interfere unless Lilly asked him to help.

Me, Jodie and Charlotte were out shopping. Connor was in charge of Evie. He'd said something about having time to myself without the kids and to enjoy it plus he was wedding planning with Brad, Sid and James. From the text messages I got he was rather bored.

"Should I just call him. Make sure he's okay?" I said as we walked into John Lewis

"Rhianne." Charlotte and Jodie said

"Sorry." I said I had said this about 4 times in the last 2 hours that we had been out.

"You need to stop worrying." Jodie said

"It's the first time I've left con with Evie for a long period of time." I said

"I'm sure the pair of them are having a great time together." Charlotte said

"I'm sure your right." I said

"I'm always right." Charlotte said

"We haven't been out together in a long time." Jodie said

"Yeah. It's been ages." charlotte said

"What happened?" Jodie said
"Life got in the way." I said

"Yeah. I miss not having children. I wouldn't change luna, Oscar and even Ben for the world but life was so much similar when I didn't have kids." Jodie said

"Yeah like we could just drop everything and go on tour. I thinks that's what I miss most. Touring." I said

"Yeah I miss touring loads." Charlotte said

Me and Jodie looked at her.

"What?" she said

"You still get to tour." We said

"Yeah but its not the same. Michael and Jacob aren't there or the other 5sos boys or when I came on tour with you guys it's not the same being on tour with people you don't have a relationship with. When i'm on tour now. It's I get up get straight to the venue keep out of the way and get the stage up. Run the stage through the show then if it needs taking down we take it down and it doesn't then it stays up and I make sure that it's ready for tomorrow. Then I go back to the hotel and go to sleep. But when out tour with the 5sos boys or the Vamps boys it was we all go up together headed to the venue together. Had a laugh while me, Edward and Josh put the stage up. I got to watch you guys messing around in the arena then we would all have something to eat before the show then I either go and sit and watch the show or I would be back stage making sure everything's running as it should. Edward and Josh are both great don't get me wrong but there is only so much they can handle at one time. Edward is not in charge or lighting and Josh has switched to security. It's not the same we don't have as much of a laugh as we used to." Charlotte said

"Its okay someone's taking over from you next year aren't they?" I said

"Yeah........Edward is. Not that he knows yet but he's taking over from me and if I'm honest he's ready to take over from me. He's learnt so much over the year." Charlotte said

"He is very clever bless him." Jodie said smiling

"Yeah he is." I smiled

"When you going to tell him?" Jodie said looking at Charlotte

"Don't know yet." Charlotte said me and Jodie laughed

"Think I'm going to do the next tour with laser light this year then hand it over to Edward. Because I know he's not ready to stop and nor is Josh." Charlotte said

"They will work great together." I said

"Yeah they will." Charlotte said

We had a lot of fun shopping. When we had got our outfits for the premier we went over to the record label. Charlotte was tour planning Jodie was helping James with some stuff and I was going to do some stuff with the new security team.
