The first stop was the city of Bristol. I had only been once or twice so it was nice. The boys and Violet had gone into the venue and were milling about doing sound checks and all that boring stuff, I decided to sit at the pull out diningtable that came out across the sofa and start my book. In a way I kinda knew how to start it but I also didnt want to be cheesy and rip myself off.
"Alright" I heard someone say, getting on the bus, he say next to me and looked at the page hanging out the type writer. "Bad To The Bone: The Truth About Oasis And More by Jessica Gallagher" he reads.

"I'm writing a book Guis, on request of Noel" I reply.

"Well no shit sherlock" he smiles "yer lookin' better by the way".

"Better? This is the first time ive seen yer since... the MTV thing".

"Nah, I came to see you with Liam and Noel a few times. Bone did too. We had a conversation about how much you love being by the seaside and yer asked me to take you there one day" he replies "you weren't in a good way and I doubt you even remember but I'll keep my offer if you want".

"Maybe we can all go one day" I smile "that would be great material for my book".

"What about.... yer know".

"Guis I'm still fuckin' breathin' please give me that. They said it could be nothing and they also said that my brain could explode any second and kill me. I aint gonna prepare for anything because fuck me I wanna live" I reply.

"We all want you to live, J, fuck... I want you to live. You're one of my best friends. I know we dont talk alot but you really are".

"Brighton" I reply, segwaying out of this conversation.

"What?".

"Brighton, we stop really close to brighton and margate, we could do either, fuck we could even do skegness".

"For the beach?".

"Nah" I smirk "for the town".

"Alright clever clogs, so whats wrong with you? Got writers block?".

"Nah Ive got an annoying person called Paul McGuigan in my earholes" I chuckle "shouldnt yer be doin' sound check?".

"I were until yer favourite pricks started arguin' again".

"Noel and Liam?" I ask.

"For once, no, Violet and Liam".

"Were they still goin' when you left?" I ask. He just nods. I put on the cardigan violet gave me and stand up quickly, getting dizzy for a second thinking 'oh fuck this is it, so soon?' But it was just blood rush. I walk out the bus in a rush, with guigs following close behind (he was such a scaredy cat). I found my way into the building and followed the sound of voices.

"ALL YOU THINK ABOUT IS YOUR FUCKING SELF, GALLAGHER, GET THAT FUCKING TREE OUT YOUR ARIS FOR ONCE AND LOOK AROUND" Violet shouts.

"WHAT THE FUCK'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN WHEN IT'S AT HOME THEN?" Liam shouts back. Guigs and I walk onto the standing area for the fans below the stage.

"THATS MY FUCKIN' LINE" i shout up to him. They all look down the like 12ft drop to the concrete where we are standing a ways back so they can see us. "WHAT ARE YOU ARGUIN' ABOUT?".

"Liam and Violet are having a lovers tiff thats all" Noel replies, speaking normally.

"You can hear me?" I ask.

"Yeah, duh, its an auditorium, its designed so we can hear eachother" he mocks me.

"A lovers tiff huh?" I look at them and ignore Noel's sarcasm.
