reece's pov

it woke me up and it never has done that before. ever.
shit.
this had me kinda worried since it also was like 6am.
the idea of sleep was already thrown out the window of this stupid bus
so i had to start my day on 6 hours which is pretty decent but not enough if you play your first headline show at shepherds bush tonight.
oh right, what woke me you might ask. i have ibs.
irritable bowel syndrome.
and no it's not severe or anything i have accepted my faith and i live with it for 4 years now. normally i can keep it steady and is it not bothering me that much.
except the occasional stomachache and cramps of course.
but today it was worse.
it was the jar of milk yesterday i know that for sure. milk always made my stomach hurt. but only that. and then in combination with the churros.
i think this is one of my dumbest moves in history of my ibs
but oh well
its probably a morning thing as my stomach most of the times hurts more in the morning.
enough of the waffling let's get out of bed.

7:30 am
still reece's pov

"good morning" i heart next to me suddenly. it was ben.
"morning"
i continued browsing my phone as ben took a seat next to me.
"you're early" he says after a solid 2 minutes of silence. nobody was really a morning person.
"yeah.. couldn't sleep anymore"
"nervous for tonight?"
wow, i hadn't even thought of that. maybe.
"i eh.. think so, yeah obviously"
"are ya? or is it something else" he asked, and i immediately knew he was talking bout my ibs.
"i'm fine ben i swear. it's just morning"
ben nodded. it wasn't a lie
i'm still convinced it'll be over round noon.
"why you so early?" i asked.
"because i'm nervous."
i just chuckled at that. adorable.

about half an hour later george, the only morning person, joined.
"i was not expecting people to be up already? especially you reece."
"well here i am, surprise."
in my eye angle i saw ben pointing at his stomach and then nodding at me. i decided not to comment.
george just sighted sympathetically.
he was kinda right, when i was nervous my stomach always got more upset.
and then the combination milk and churros.
it just hit me. oh god.
"you good reece? we kinda have shepherds bush tonight" george asked.
i couldn't see it but i think my face went as white as a sheet of paper.
my stomach rumbled.
"i- i'm fine"
i slowly breathed in and out.
then my stomach cramped and i shot up.
"reece?"
"it's nothing.. i just need the toilet. be right back"

8:30 am
george's pov

"can you pass me my toast tanner?"
it has been 30 minutes. blake was still sleeping and tanner was just walking in the room.
"fuck off." he said bluntly. but then passed me the toast laying on the counter. i made it 5 minutes ago but was to lazy to pick it up again.
"who's in the bathroom?" tanner asked slightly knocking on the door. no response
"reece" i said. when tanner looked at me i just pointing at my stomach, mouthing 'stomachache' and nodding towards the toilet.
tanner just sighted sympathetically and went to sit on the one chair with the table.

not even 5 minutes later we heart the toilet flush and a very flustered reece stepped out.
"do we have any um.. air freshener"
"you can just open de window." ben said not looking away from the tv, pointing at the toilet.
"tried that.. um"
he looked a bit upset, as if somebody had disappointed him with something.
"i'll help ya."  i said standing up from my spot.
"oh dude hurry up or close the door."
tanner said half gagging and waving his hand in his face. yeah i agree.
reece blushed looking down.
he mumbled a quiet sorry but i'm pretty sure i'm the only one who heart it.
i helped him closing the window, holding back a few gags myself.
i'm sure it wasn't a pleasure for reece being on the toilet for 30 minutes but it sure as hell wasn't really for us too.
the window was open and the door was closed, everybody was having breakfast and so it went on.
somewhere around 9:45 reece decided to just go lay back in bed and maybe try and sleep a bit more.
that was fine by everyone.
