I woke up to my alarm clock beeping at me. I hit it until it stopped and got up. It was only 6 in the morning, way too early for any of us on a normal day but I could hear everyone bustling about even now. Then I realised why we were up, it was the start of the tour! I was so excited after that that I wasn't been bothered by how early it was. I hopped into the shower and washed my hair. There probably wasn't going to be many opportunities to wash properly whilst on tour so instead I decided to savour the time when a shower is available to me.

Once I finished, I get dressed and walk downstairs where I see everyone else has left their suitcases. I go back upstairs and grab mine and leave it next to theirs. I make myself a cup of coffee and casually start going through Instagram. Patrick and Joe walk downstairs and Joe says"Come on kid, we haven't got long until we leave so finish your coffee and come help suitcases into the bus." I set down my empty coffee cup by the sink and followed them outside, my suitcases in my hands. I started lifting to carry them up the stairs onto the bus when Pete appeared next to me and pulled them out of my hands. I laughed and tried to grab them back be he shook his head knowingly and placed them next to the pull out sofa. "Thanks" I said, out of breath from carrying both of them. "No problem" He said, running off to grab more luggage. I ran after him, eager to get everything on there before him. We turned it into a race and he won. I stared around the bus. Wow, it was amazing, how could you fit everything you needed into such a small space. Everyone boarded the bus. "Right, top bunks mine, Patricks underneath me, Joe and Andy, settle it your side but Larissa is at the top of your side." Pete said. There was a spare bunk in the middle of Pete and Patrick but I was at the top of the other side and Andy was at the bottom, Joe in the middle, they decided as the bus set off. "Right, I'm going to sleep, I've been up for to long, to early." Joe said. The others all murmured goodnights and settled into their bunks as well. Oh well, it was only half past six. we had about 4 hours before we got to the first venue so I decided to do some sketching. I sat on a seat of the pull out sofa, facing the window and started to draw what was around me. After an hour, I got bored and no one was awake yet so grabbed my bass and practiced. Pete had been trying to teach me and I wanted to impress him. I learnt 'thnks fr th mmrs' and started playing the music on my headphones, playing it along quietly so I didn't wake anyone. The bus stopped and I looked out the window, we had stopped for gas. 2 hours later and my stomach was rumbling so I stood up and looked in the fridge, where I found cereal bars, cans of red bull and a bottle of unopened milk. "you wont want to eat, we'll be at the venue in an hour and we always order food" Pete's voice had scared me. I grabbed a can of red bull and settled back on the sofa. He got out of his bunk and sat next to me, "Wanna show me what you've learnt?" I nodded, setting down the red bull next me and picking up the bass. I played the whole song, with no mistake. Pete clapped and cheered. "Well done! I couldn't have mastered that in only a few hours" he shouted. I smiled and heard everyone else moving around. "Pete! You've woken us all up!" I heard Joe shout. They all got up and sat with me n the sofa. Just at that moment, the bus stopped again and I looked out to see that we were here! We all stepped outside and straight into the venue. We walked backstage and into the dressing room. Next door I heard a distinctive voice. Was that...
