Gableen: The Back Row

(25)

Colleen's POV:
I open my eyes to sadly not find anyone laid next to, under or on me. I sit for a while, contemplating whether I can be bother to actually get out of bed to find her, she's probably fine.
Tossing around the bed sheets to find find my phone, I find it tucked under Gabbie's pillow. Rolling back to my side of the bed, my smile grows seeing messages from fans hyped for the tour.

Eventually, I find the energy to jump out of bed and make my way to the kitchen. My eyes are pleasantly aroused to find a half naked Gabbie in only a bra and shorts, cooking up some breakfast. "Good morning sunshine" she smiles my way, waving me to come join her. She looks sooo so beautiful this morning, more than usual. Her bruises are completely gone now and all that's left is her gorgeous rosy glow, warming me as I step nearer to her. I gently pull her shorts so that she twists around into me, accidentally thrusting her hips into mine causing us to push against the counter. "Good morning" I whisper close to her ear, before gently pecking her lips onto mine. Before things could get heated she quickly presumes to making breakfast, and I sit on a stall at the counter, watching her cook. "Any ideas on the tour babe?!" She shouts trying to clear her voice over the sizzling pan. I did have a few ideas in mind "I was thinking we should start off in Amsterdam, then make our way to Paris, before our final leg in London" her eyes widen at my ambitious destinations. "Sounds like a trip on a lifetime, I'm in babe" she smiles approving. I text the team and they all buzz in excitement, willing to also join us on the journey, but there only one more person to ask.

Gabbie places a plate of food in front of me and sits herself opposite before taking a bite of her own. "Any ideas how to approach Rachel?" I ask laughing weakly, knowing there won't be an easy answer, she slowly shakes her head trying to think. "The best way would probably be polite and calm, just let her know she's more than welcome to join us, and she's be a great help" she suggests. "Okay, I guess I'll text her now?" "Go for it Colleen, it's the only way to make things better"
I flick through my contacts and find Rachel. I read our last texts, it makes me kind of sad seeing how happy and joking we once were, I hope things will be like that again soon.
After battling with my thumbs I finally fess up the courage to start typing:
Colleen: Hey Rachel, me and Gabbie and a few other people are going on tour in a couple weeks, we would love for you to come. You can bring Matt, but I hope we could settle things. I miss you Rachel, I'm not angry at you.

I press send and the adrenaline instantly kicks in, what if she doesn't reply? What is she says no? Worst possible outcomes dart around my mind and quickly fade as I see three little dots jump around the screen, she's texting back.
Rachel: Sure, me and Matt will be there.
I couldn't tell if I felt relief, or even more nervous. I'm glad Matt was coming just incase things got heated, but something also felt as though it's going to go wrong, but only time will tell. I guess I'm just glad she accepted, we are at least starting to get somewhere. "What did she say?" Gabbie shouts, hearing the message come onto my phone "She said she will be their" I say in a nervous tone "That's good right?" She says walking around and hugging me from behind "Yeah, yeah of course it is" I brush it off and we continue on with the day.

Gabbie's POV:
We thought today would be good to announce the tour destinations, it was pretty clear Colleen already had a plan of where she wanted to go in her head, and it was better than anywhere I could have though of going so we quickly got to work on creating a campaign allowing people to buy tickets for the Meet and Greets.
It was different to any kind of tour I'd seen, we didn't have a book signing or a show. It just just going to be a bunch of Youtubers traveling around and selling their merch, since we all had that.

We began setting up a main channel video. Today everyone was coming around and we were going to be talking about what was happening etc.
Soon enough the house was crowded with people: Kory, Lilly, Joey, Liza and Joey brought Daniel along too. All that were missing were Rachel and Matt, who were just going to join us later in the airport next week, we will save the awkwardness for then. "Hey guys, I just want to say a couple things before we start the video" I say as everyone sits around the table "So, we will meet you guys in the Airport, where the bus will be waiting in Europe when we arrive in Amsterdam. We will work our way down to Paris, and then across the water to London. Of course we will stop off several times on the way, and make sure to bring all your essentials on the trip, but we will be buying all the food and any thing else you'll need." Everyone squeals in excitement "So we've arranged at each stop for everyone to have their own station, where you can meet the fans and sell any merch you want, all we need is for you to ship them to each stop and they will be there when you arrive" Everyone nods attentively, as I continue "So let's go to Europe guys! This will be great!" I say hugging Colleen.

We get into our positions and begin filming, "Heya guys it's Gabbie! I'm here with the crew!" They all cheer and introduce themselves, it's not like no ones ever seen them before, yet this is also the reveal of who else is coming on the trip. "We can't wait to meet you guys as these destinations, and if your not in one of these countries don't worry! I'm sure we will eventually visit your place soon" "The links to all the destinations and their tickets are in the description below so go check them out!" "That's it for now guys, see you in Europe!" Everyone says goodbye to the camera and we all hang out for the rest of the night, getting to know each other even more, as we will be spending quiet a lot of time together soon.
We sit and play board games and get slightly drunk and everyone makes their way home in taxis "See you all at the airport, we love you!" I yell as they all disappear out the door.

Climbing into bed I begin to edit the video as Colleen lays curled up next to next me, already fast asleep. I wait for the video to finish uploading and close my laptop, feeling all sorts of excitement for next week. I creep around the room to switch the light off, nuzzle into Colleen and sit thinking for a while about it, before finally getting to sleep.

A/N: Hello everyone! So next chapter everyone will be off to Europe, yay! I hope you guys enjoy some exiting chapter so come. Again thank you all for the support I love you all! ❤️
