After NYC concert

Wow, the concert was amazing tonight

So many people cheering, dancing and singing along to "We found Love", must admit that it was an amazing cover, cause my Stirlingites could finally join into the concert and be the part of it.

It was just perfect.

When the show was finally over, me Gavi, Drew and Brooke went out for a walk around the city.

I know it was past 11pm, but it was very quiet and empty for NYC

Too empty.

I was starting to feel anxious and insecure, but I tried to just forget about it.

Times Square was not far from the venue, but I must admit that walking up to it was very tiering. But I guess I was just tired after the show as well.

We played 13 songs + rehearsals + sound checks etc, etc.

I mean, I love to do it, but at the end I must get my deserved rest (and some Cereal, of course).

Mmm

Cereal.

When I start to think about cereal, it's very hard for me to get back into reality.

I usually think about their soft and delicate taste that composes with the pure milk. Mmm, delicious.

Also, I think which ones to eat.

"I love Rice Crispies but but my definite favourites are...."

"Lindsey. Lindsey? Lindsey!!" Shouted Gavi. Quickly after that I realised I said it out loud. I nervously turned towards him. Everyone was looking at me like with a weird face. But they were used to me daydreaming about cereal xD. I don't know why, but I felt like he saw Phelba or something.

Ha, impossible.

Cause clearly Gavi got hold of that.

He told a couple of his friends to get Phelba away at least for the time of the Tour, right now she's on the other side of the US, probably California.

Well, wherever she is, Im just glad she isn't here.

She can cause harassment sometimes. Most of the time,

Woah. My thoughts about Cereals and Phelba got me so off the track that I just realised that we finally made it to the Times Square.

I must admit, that it's shockingly amazing every time I see it.

But my anxiety grew bigger and bigger. I could feel like someone was following us. Or maybe more people...

Suddenly I heard a very loud noise. It sounded like a rock hitting the ground or someone tripping over. Nervously, I looked around me. There was no one there. But I could see that Gavi, Drew and Brooke also turned around, so I was sure it wasn't just my imagination.

"It's probably just the wind Linds, don't worry." said Gavi, with confidence.

I hated when they called me Linds, but over time I just got used to it. I mean, living 9 months with them is clearly enough to know what they are like. Especially that the only "privacy" we get, is a small curtain that hides our beds from the rest of the tour bus. Thank god Broke joined us, being the only girl there was sometimes a pain in the butt. But I still love them.

They are like a family to me (well obviously Brooke is my family but never mind xD) and they always care about me. The last time Phelba attacked us, thanks to Gavi she never caught me. But, I must admit, she was close.
