Leela's POV
I wake up to an empty bed, I can hear the shower running. I check my phone and reply to a few messages. There is one from jack saying he will be here tomorrow to support Conor's first show. I all of a sudden feel sick with nerves. I don't think I can actually do this.
Conor comes back in the room wrapped in a towel.
'Sorry about yesterday' he says
'It's okay' I say looking to the floor. I really don't care about last night. I crashed out. I was shattered.
'Leela, I really am sorry'
'Babe it's fine' I say as I get up and head to the bathroom. Conor grabs my hand.
'Leela?'
'I need a shower and then we can get started ok?'
'Lee what's wrong?'
'I can't do this, I'm sorry'
Conor cups my face and looks in to my eyes.
'Please don't end this, I know it's not be the most perfect start, I know this hasn't been the way it should be, I promise it will be better. I want to be with you. I want to have a future with you. Please I've never felt like this before. I'm falling in love with you'
'Conor' I say before I kiss him.
'I didn't mean us, I meant the tour. It's to much, I can't do it. I'm sorry'
I can feel Conor relaxing, he takes my hand and sits me down on the bed before he kisses me once more.
'Babe you can do this. I know you can. You have an amazing voice and you will be with me the whole time'
'We have only one day to get another song. I just don't know if I can pull it off'
'Babe we can do anything together'.
I jump in the shower and get ready for our really busy day!

I'm ready, I'm wearing joggers and a cute boob tube. Today is the only day we have to sort out another song and the only day I have with Conor before his off doing an interview followed by sound checks and whatever else he has to do. Conor's not here when I get ready. His text to say he will be an hour his had a few things he has to do.
I'm starving so head down to the little cafe across the road. It's so peaceful in here, a beautiful vintage theme. The girls would love it. I find a seat at the back on a bench with cute cushions spread across the back. Whilst I wait for my food I brainstorm songs we could do that I'm familiar with so when I'm with Conor later he can choose what he thinks.
Just as I take a sip off my coffee George walk in. He spots me and goes to go again.

'George' I call

'Leela, you alright?'
'Yeah, do you wanna join me?'
'Erm.. I dunno, its a bit awkward ain't it?'
'No... er, come on just a coffee? We going to be spending a lot of time together we may as well make the effort'
'Okay, for Conor's sake'

I text Conor and let him know that we at the cafe and he meets us there. Me George and Conor all find a song together and we get back to the hotel to practice the arrangement.
