*October 6th, the dreaded day has come... *

I honestly don't think I can do this "I can't do it" I say to them, as I pace back and forth on the hotel room floor, nervously playing with the bracelet on my wrist...

To be honest, this is pretty much all I've been doing since I woke up which was 3 bloomin' hours ago! What's your problem? YOU! You haven't shut up since this morning excuse me for being nervous

"God, y/nn give it a rest. You're gonna pace a hole through the floor if you keep going at this rate, and more importantly you're giving me a headache so..." Dinah says, as she 'tries' to get me to sit down emphasis on the trying wait did I mention to them that Dinah was here? Nope oh well... now you know

"She's got a point y/n, you have to try and calm down, otherwise you will be a wreck on stage tonight" Mya says, as she starts packing her laptop away and standing up

"Which by the way, you WILL and ARE going to go to, whether you like it or not. Just F.Y.I" Dinah says as she throws me off of her shoulder onto the bed

"OW! DINAH THAT HURT, WHAT THE HELL?" I say holding the back of my head... Hang on just one pickin' minute how and when did sh-

"HEY! Stop daydreaming and listen" the starting to get a little intimidating? Polynesian said

"Listening" I say indicating for her to continue

"Numéro uno-" she says holding her hand up for me to count "-you will go to our show tonight, and you will sing your little Scottish heart out got it?"

I just nod because honestly I am a little bit scared to talk wimp hey it worked for the penguins in Madagascar didn't it, except the waving of course I really wonder about our age sometimes...

"Good, now numéro Dos, you will and I mean WILL greet the girls CALMLY and rationally capeesh" she says, finishing with the crossing of her arms so sassy

"Go to show, sing heart out, calmly and rationally. Got it" I say with as much fake enthusiasm I can muster

"Oh and just incase you think about running, I had mya take your personal belongings, I also had a little word with ally and normani so don't go getting any ideas, now we have some business to attend to, so ciao puta we love ya" and with that said they were gone, well shit...

Her? P.o.V

*Knock, knock*

That'll be her, I think as I head for the door, "COMING" I shout, upon opening it my suspicion was correct it was her, I quickly pull her into a hug "Mya, thanks for coming so soon, I honestly didn't think you'd be here in time" I say pulling away and lightly guiding her to the seats

"Of course, dinah's just coming, she said she's just going to get the others, so what's up? your text sounded urgent" she says looking at me worriedly

"It is, but I will explain soon, once the others get here, which if you're right then they should be here soo-"

*Knock,knock*

"Hoi bish open up before we get caught" I here dinah not so subtly say

"Keep talking like THAT, and we will" I say when I reach the door, and opening it, revealing the 3 out of 5 of my band mates "now quickly come in and take a seat" I say standing back to allow them in

As they get themselves seated and comfortable, I start taking deep breaths to calm my nerves down "So now that everyone is here, what is it you wanted to talk to us about" mya asks, here goes nothing

"I need your help and the only way I can get that, is if I tell you the truth about erm... well about everything really. BUT you can't tell anyone got it? or else there will be some serious consequences" I say, looking at everyone to see if they understood, which by the nods and the yeahs, I'd say they do "Ok so, it erm well it all started back when..... -"

Y/n P.o.V

Phone? Check. Made sure everything is off? Check. Extra clothes for afterwards? Check. Assorted alcohol miniatures and stress ball? Check and check. Great I think we're good to go agreed, as you walk out of your room and begin to descend down to the lobby, you soon realize you forgot your ROOM KEY damn it! Call mya and get her to bring the spare to the show already on it I say, as I hold the phone to my ear *ring, ring, ring... the person you are-* Damn it try again *ring, ring... The person-* Oh for the love of- just text her when you get there right wait is that the girls? I watch as they climb onto the tour bus, more importantly I watch her all I can think of is that I miss her...

Her? P.o.V

"And that's why I need your help, so what do you say? Girls?" I say after catching my breath that was a lot... they're not saying anything, damn it I knew they'd be pissed off "Girls?" I try this time a little louder, that done it because next thing I know a series of

"Of course sweetie"

"count me in"

"MY SHIP WILL SAIL FOR I AM THE CAPTAIN" three guesses as to who that is 

"Thanks girls, now let's get project- "

"BIG BAD WOLF"

what? "Really mya? Big bad wolf. Really?"

"What? it's a cool mission name" wow, just wow

"Yeeeeah no, not happening, besides, we already have a name, now let's go" fingers crossed this works

Lovers? P.o.V

"Where is everyone? It's almost time to leave for the venue" I say as I wait for the girls in the lobby, whatever, might as well pass the time on my phone

"Take it we're not going to address the elephant in the room?" Big Rob says from his spot next to me

"Nope" I say, popping the 'P' as I do so, poppin' the 'P' hehe we know what 'P' you poppin' ok y/n might have rubbed off on me, in more ways than one ha you wish oh we do

"Fine, then I will" he says

here we go "look I know she's going to be there ok? And will probably sing the song" sadly

"I know. And I'm ok with it" I say, which is a lie of course

"Really? Is that why you're fidgeting with the bracelet" maybe...

"Maybe I'm not ok with it. But it's not for me to say anything, she might not have said that she hates me or anything when we talked on the phone, but that song. The lyrics pretty much speak for itself, which is that I'm not her... and I never will be" I say in a sad tone

"You know, not everything is always as it seems, now heads up, the girls are here" he says giving me a nudge, what did he mean by that...
