Sara's POV:
Tour had been great so far, obviously apart from the, hard to avoid, arguments with Samantha. She kept giving everyone but Connor grief usually when she didn't get her own way with Joe and you could tell he was loosing his tolerance with her, but alas we had arrived in Manchester, a hometown show for not just Reece and Blake but for Me also, Beth and Mia had made plans to spend the day with their families whilst they where here, before soundcheck Austin was joining Mia. Beth however refused to let her mother meet James as last time Beth saw her she was with Drew and she knew full well that there would be questions asked.
"Aren't you from around here?" Conor asked me taking a seat beside me in the cafeteria, "yeah" I nodded smiling, "aren't you gonna visit your family like the rest of them?" he asked, "me and my dad don't see eye to eye" I said awkwardly, "oh, you not a big fan" I chuckled awkwardly, "he's not a big fan of me, he's only interested in what money my vocals could bring, I bet you he'll be here tonight seeing how well I'm getting on without him" I told him honestly, "he is your dad though are you sure he's not being supportive?" he questioned, "you tell me, he hasn't bothered to contact me in like 3 almost 4 years after dumping me at that school and then at the Christmas show he shows up because he heard my part was gonna be a masterpiece or some shit. All he has ever cared about is money ever since my mum died, he's been wanting rid of me ever since" I told him angrily, "wow sorry I didn't know" he said sympathetically, "it's fine I guess I just really envy when the others go out with their families and I'm suck wherever because what's left of my family don't give a damn about me" I sighed, "I'd say I get it but I spend loads of time with my family, but I understand you must be pretty lonely without a proper family supporting you" he shrugged, trying to understand what I was feeling, "at least you have your friends, George, Mia, Drew they must be like a second family" he shrugged, "I don't know about Drew" I laughed, "I see you two arguing about petty things but that's because you're so similar you're like brother and sister" he shrugged, "I would rather die than have him as a family member, also, we aren't similar I don't fuck people because it's fun" I told him taking offence, "you're not similar like that I mean like the things you respect and your views, believe me Sara you might not like people saying it but you a Drew are just similar people which is why you don't get along particularly well" Conor told me with an honest half-hearted smile, I just grumbled in response. Samantha and Connor walked into the cafeteria and Samantha rolled her eyes when she saw me, "wow make it a little less obvious" I said to her, "shut up" she snapped, "Samantha keep walking ignore her" Connor told her, I chuckled to myself, "if she's going to be a bitch I'm going to really show her who the bitch is tonight" I told Conor, "you know what Joe said" Conor told me sipping his water, "I don't care what Joe said he's put up with her petty things here I'm just gonna show the public who has the better vocals" I shrugged, "Sara, there's a difference between the things that go on backstage and the stuff you bring out to the public, that's why he's put up with her" Conor shrugged, he knew a lot more about this world than I did but I wasn't one to listen.
We where all backstage waiting to go on and we were talking about the events of today, we could hear the audience singing along to the videos that played on the screens, me Mia and Beth also sang along. The lights went down and another night began with Conor getting the audience all riled up, we all sang along to his songs and Tristan kept sticking his head through the curtain but no one seemed to notice him.
Me and Samantha where about to go on and it was the first night Joe had told me not to overpower Samantha, I took it as a sign. I was sick of her bitching I didn't care if the public knew what I thought of her, she's the biggest bitch of the century and the public don't know the real her, Samantha puts on an act when she meets fans, that's the only reason she has any, if they knew what she was really like they would have a different opinion, unless they are psychotic like she is.
Conor high fived me as he came off like he always does and gave me a 'look' trying to convince me to behave but it wasn't likely. Samantha might be a bitch but unfortunately for her I am too. I headed onto the stage and already my voice had a stronger tone than usual, one of these days being so cocky will bite me on the ass but tonight I was having things my way, that slag took my song and my man I ain't fucking about playing nice no more.
The song went better than I could of hoped for, as soon as I pulled out that bigger note I could feel Samantha shrivel under the pressure, the audience roared and I knew I'd pulled it off, when we finished singing Samantha glared at me and I just shrugged and gave her a cocky smirk, yeah bitch I gotcha there. We spoke to the audience as usual then we walked off stage, Samantha went first, walking somewhat quicker than usual and I walked off after her, waving to the audience as I smiled my ass off stage. As soon as we hit backstage Samantha was raging, but The Vamps boys bar Connor all high fived me secretly, "Joe you told her not to do that and she completely ignored you! Do something about it!" Samantha snapped angrily at Joe, but I couldn't help but fold my arms and wait like a proud child, "Sara, we talked about this" Joe sighed, clearly sick of both mine and Samantha's drama but in all fairness it's not usually been me. "I'm sorry Joe" I told him with no sense of guilt what so ever, "Ok good" Joe nodded, "That's it! She deserves worse than that" Samantha snapped, "Ok Samantha what do you propose we do, kick her off the tour because I sure as hell am closer to getting rid of you than Sara! All you ever do is bitch and get Connor in trouble, don't you go shouting the odds to me Samantha because you are worse than anyone for bitching and acting like you're queen of the world, in all fairness all Sara did was show off her vocal range, she was making herself look good not you look bad, now get a grip of yourself before I get rid of you so quick they'll still be looking for you at Christmas. This is the Vamps tour not yours!" Joe scolded her, she snorted and walked off angrily, she had nothing to say because Joe was right, she had been the worst on this tour, I don't know why he wasn't rid of her.
"Sara please make my life easier and don't make her mad again, I need you both here but if she carries on she's out of here" Joe told me, I nodded and listened to Joe, I liked Joe and didn't want to anger him because he was kind of a scary guy when he got mad, but she did deserve what she got.
We spent the rest of the night singing along to New Hope Club, The Tide and The Vamps and it was my turn to sing alongside Brad tonight, it had been fun performing alongside him, he made the performance so much more lively, especially when I was beside him.
