It is the last day of the cruise as we dock in Miami tomorrow morning. I have one more day to survive on the cruise. I woke up with a cold this morning as my body has been drained and tired because of the nervous energy. I dragged my sick ass down to breakfast. Everyone was there eating already. I sit down and put my head on the table.

"You OK J".

" Just a cold" I replied not moving but I do know Danny moved "I don't want any of your yucky health shakes rubbish".

" I wasn't going too".

"Good" I got up to get some food.

"You going to able to do the yoga with me".

" Yea, I will be fine after some cold medicine".

First thing of the day was to help with Danny's gym. Yoga was on the menu today and they think it would help me too. I hope can do it like a couple of cruises ago. Hey, I remember something else. I go and meet up with Danny out on the deck. I sure hope I can do this. We are going to send the day doing fun and games on the deck. Joe wants to do the limbo pole again. There is Ddub back rub as well. We have dropped the beer pong and the Q&A with fans. That's because of me. They worried it would affect me and the beer pong will make me fall off the wagon. I would just sit out both though.

Here we are on the deck with the fans. Danny starts it off with the yoga and I join in with him. As I do some the more relaxed I became. Then the more I enjoyed it. I was starting to soak up the attention a bit even I was feeling rough. I started to forget the fans were there I was putting on a show.

I stayed for the limbo but I disappeared for the back rub. I went back to my cabin for a snooze as I was feeling rough. I need to be ready for my solo show later. While I was there for the limbo again I started to soak up the atmosphere. I started to enjoy myself. I guess it wasn't really anything to do I with the band. It was us having fun with girls who happen to be our fans. As I loosened up with the yoga I went a long way with the limbo pole. I beat Joe a couple rounds ago. As I went to get low to go under the pole my bad leg gave way yet again. I fell onto the floor in a heap. Donnie and Jon looked at each other waiting for my blow up. I stayed on the floor pretending I slipped. As I picked myself up I pretended I was having a coughing fit and left the deck where everyone is. When I was out of sight then I took my anger on anything I could find. Which was poor Jon when he found me kicking the wall with my right foot. I screamed and punched the wall. Jon came over and stopped me hitting the wall again. But I caught him this time. He held me trying to calm me down.

"It will be alright Jordan," he said in a soothing voice.

"No it won't" I yelled "Its never going to OK. I can't even play the games on deck without it giving out. How am I going to play basketball with my boys again? How am I to survive the tour next year. I am going to do a routine and the next minute I am going to find myself flat on my face because it gave out". 

" Have you been doing those exercises you been told to do". I looked away "Oh J no wonder it's not right again".

" What's the use anyway?"

"You want to be on the tour, do you? Well, there is the purpose of doing those exercises then. Let Danny help you with leg at the gym" he sighed "There is always a will there is a way".

" I am going to lie down.  I need to rest this cold". I walked away from him towards my cabin. 

"You can't just leave it like that J. J... J... Jordan. GET BACK HERE NOW. JORDAN". 

My show time now. I am not looking forward to this after a spat with my brother and I missed dinner because of nerves again. Oh crap. I can't do this. Joe has done his show and now it's my turn and after me, it's Donnie's turn. It's only 3 or 4 songs. I can do this. I know they want me to do that song but I can't do it. Because I have been feeling very anxious about the whole the cruise the last four days I have been feeling poorly with a cold. I sit at the piano maybe playing will help. Then Jon sits next to me, that helps a little. I sing one song and go to the next one. I have been concentrating on singing I didn't notice someone in a red dress come on stage. Jon chuckles next to me. I look up and see a blonde haired in a red dress. I finish singing. The one in the dress starts singing too. They turn around. Donnie. I don't know whether to laugh or tell him to get off. He jumps up onto the piano and lays on it looking at me. I sing a bit of the song 'The lady in red'. Everyone is laughing and Donnie, as usual, is enjoying every moment of it. I can't hold back a snicker and Jon next to me is laughing so hard. I relax and somehow changed what I was doing and start singing 'You make me feel brand new'. It didn't sound great with my sore throat I couldn't hit the high notes very well. Donnie is still messing with me and making fun of my sick voice. It is GPS Lovefest tonight.
