Everything stopped.


Was this true?

I would follow them on tour? Everyday?

"Seriously?" I ask, baffled.

"Yeah. We'd love for you to join us. We're going all round the States," Joe said, a large smile clinging to his face.

I was too shocked for words.

"I... I can't believe this!" I squealed.

Joe opened out his arms for a hug- to which I threw myself at him with my arms wide open. Q and Sal piled up the hugs too.

This was going to be incredible!

We were going to go to bars, parties, I would get to see them perform for many nights of the week.

This was going to be incredible!

"Don't forget the cruise in a few months," Sal added.

The cruise! I would get to join them on the cruise!

I was speechless.

"Anyway," Joe says, clapping his hands. "Sleeping arrangements?"

"Oh," I jumped, "uh, I'll take whatever, you guys can pick. One double bed, one couch, one sleeping bag... maybe two can fit on the couch? I'll take the sleeping bag?"

"Sounds good," Q said.

Joe butted in: "me and Murr will take the bed."

So that was that. Murr and Joe were sleeping in my bed. They were already in my room. Me, Sal and Q were in the living room.

"So," Sal grabbed the duvet I handed over to him, scrutinised it, then said.

"So..." I trailed on.

Q had seemed to perk up by now- he was always listening attentively, his eyes nearly fully open all the time, and, with some rest, would look completely healthy.

"You ok?" Q asked me, slowly like I barely spoke English.

"Yeah. I just can't believe how much better you look." I responded, I was baffled.

"Woah, i don't want to come between this... but I'm in this room too you know. You can't do anything with me here," Sal said, his eyebrows scrunched up jokingly.

I snorted. And blushed.

Q blew air out from his mouth and scrunched his nose up.

That was just part of the deal. Of course these guys would joke around- no matter how uncomfortable it could get.

Joe and Murr came back into the living room: wishing us farewell for the night.

What was the time now? 10:00. Yeah, we should be quietening down by now.

I got into my sleeping back parallel to the sofa Sal and Q were sharing. The guys must be so close if they're not bothered sharing a duvet with each other.
