The next day, we had to get up super early to leave off to New York City. That's my hometown. I was born and raised there. I miss it and I'm so excited to go back.

We grab our things and head off to the private jet. We get inside as they handed us some food and drinks.

I saw Angela sitting next to Russ as she held his hand. God, she makes me want to vomit.

I put in my earphones ready for the jet to take off. Someone then sits next to me. It was Russ' clothing designer.

God, he's cute. He smiled at me. "Hey, you're Ashley, right? Russ' photographer?"

I nod. "You take really good pictures." He says. I stay quiet. "Oh, sorry. I'm Anthony." We both shake hands.

"I could use a friend here." He said out of nowhere. "You don't mind me sitting here, right?" I shake my head. Why can't I say anything?

"Well, just so you know, I'm his clothing designer." He smiled at me.

"You have really good style." I tell him and we both laugh. "Thank you."

We then lift off and go to New York.

~~~

"Psst, hey. We're here." I wake up and see Anthony smiling. I rub my eyes and see that we just landed.

I grab my things as Anthony helps me. I don't really need help but he was kind enough to offer me a hand.

~~~

We made it to the hotel rooms as I put my stuff on my room. This one was really nice just like the last one.

I heard Angela and Russ laughing and then heard some smooches. It grossed me out.

"Do you want anything to eat?" I turn around and see Anthony leaning on the door.

"Um, no thanks. I just need some rest right now but thank you for asking."

He nodded and left to eat something as I rested for a while.

~~~

I woke up and got ready for the concert. It's nice to be back in New York. I miss it. After all, I had so many memories here.

I heard everyone getting ready as I was choosing my outfit. Hmm, it has to be something that makes me feel at home.

I decided to wear black skinny jeans with a white shirt and a checkered flannel.

I kept it unbuttoned so it would look nice. I completed my outfit with my black converse.

I headed out of my room and saw Anthony smiling at me. "Hey, you're ready to go?" I nodded.

We get in the tour bus and head to the arena.

Russ starts practicing on stage for hours as we get everything ready backstage. Of course, Anthony was busy. After all, he is Russ' clothing designer.

It's cool that he designs clothes. That seems like a lot of work but worth it.

He does design clothes really good because Russ' outfits always come out looking good.

~~~

"I don't need her, I don't need him, fuck it, I'll do it myself..."

Russ was singing his songs as fans were singing with him. I love how he interacts with his fans and lets them take over. Now that's goals.

I go on stage not bothering him and taking pictures of the crowd and him.

I also take some videos for memories and so he could post it on his Instagram.

I take a break and go backstage and see Anthony once again. "Are you following me?" Anthony asks me making the both of us laugh.

"Sure, let's go with that." I answer sarcastically.

We both get some water. I drank a lot of water. I was super thirsty. I have been on stage doing my thing for about an hour and a half straight.

~~~

When the concert finished, the crew cleaned up as we got ready to go back on the tour bus. Anthony walked up to me and hugged me out of nowhere.

At first, it felt weird but I hugged him back. I saw Russ kissing Angela as I hugged Anthony tightly. He pulled away and he smiled.

"Sorry, I just wanted to hug you because um, I don't know...because you did a great job tonight." He said nervously.

I smiled. "Thanks, you did too. Well, you made his outfit stand out really good." We both chuckled. Russ and Angela walked up to us as they were holding hands.

"Good job guys. Thanks, Anthony for the outfit and thank you, Ashley, for the pictures. I'm looking forward to seeing them." He said and smiled.

They left to the tour bus as we followed behind them.

~~~

We got back to the hotel and I went straight to my room. I was exhausted. I think everyone was.

Knock knock

"Hey." Someone said as they opened my door. It was Anthony. I gave him a warm smile.

"You're tired, huh?" I nod. "Yeah, me too."

Outside my room, I heard loud music, people laughing and talking. Were they partying?

It's late at night. How are they not tired? "What's going on out there?" I ask Anthony.

"They're celebrating. Maybe because the concert was sold out?" I nod. "You're not going to join us?" He asked me.

"No, as much as I would love that, I'm really tired. I think I need to sleep." We both laugh.

"Oh, I get it. You need your beauty sleep." We laugh again. "Yeah, let's go with that."

We smiled at each other. "Okay, well I'm getting a few drinks so if you want to come, I'll be at the party." He tells me. "Okay."

"Goodnight, Ashley."

"Goodnight."

He closed my door as I tried to go to sleep.

After a few minutes, I drifted off to sleep...
