I held the envelope in my hands and studied the handwriting on the front. I should have been writing the next chapter of my book. I had got to chapter six already, it was one of the hard parts because it was about Siobhan coming back and her mum dying, maybe thats why I found myself procrastinating.

I thought 'fuck it' and pulled the envelope open. My fingers tugged at the paper and it came out. The handwriting wasn't fancy or anything but you could tell it was well thought out when written as there were hardly any mistakes.
'Dearest Jessica,
I do hope you are well. I had been informed of your accident as someone told me that you were in Rehab to which I was going to come and visit, but then the twins told me of everything they knew.
Please do know that if you need anything, even just a chat, I am only a call or letter away.
I had recently been informed that you are on tour with Noel and I am glad to hear it. But I also have one surprise. (If you opened this after southend then you will have already known what it is.
If not, I hope to see you soon.
with love always,
David Jones'.

I put the paper down. Beach day was today. Like a flash of lightning, I dragged on my rainbow cardigan and ran out of the bus. Into the rehersals with the letter in my hands. The music came to a swift halt as I ran up to Guigs and hugged him.
"Thank yer so much".

"What for now?" He hugs be back.

"Everything" I reply.

"Oh" he pulls away "is wasnt all me, it was Noel and violet too. Oh speaking of violet, have yer met sunny?".

"Sunny?" I ask "who's Sunny?".

"This is" Violet says, I look around and shes standing with a blonde girl that is around my sister Allison's age, sixteen. "She's Lyla and I's little sister, coming on the rest of the tour with us".

"Hello" I stick my hamd out for her to shake "nice to meet you, I'm Jessica Gallagher, Noel's wife".

She shakes my hand. "Nice to meet you too, can I call you Jess?" She asks.

"Most people around here just call me J, minus Liam, who calls me Honey" I reply.

"Honey? What is that like a pet name or?".

"Its not a sexual thing (I hope)" I joke "no when he was a toddler I had a poster in my room with a bee on it and he just started calling me honey and never stopped".

"Thats cute".

I whisper "I pretend to hate it but really I love it".

"Does noel have a pet name for you?" She asks.

"Yeah I do" he replies cockily.

"What is it?" She asks innocently.

"Its shit-fer-brains" he says all in one word "cause she's a dopey cow".

"OI YER TWAT" I shout at him throwing the nearest thing to hand, one of my shoes then the other one at him playfully "Yer cruisin' you are mate".

"And they're married?" She whispers to Violet.

"Yeah, aint it cute? They're like teenagers" She replies with a smirk as I am punching Noel with his own hand saying 'why you hitting yourself like we are five'. He was letting me do it. He could have easily overpowered me and pushed me off him, but he just giggled like a little girl. I kissed him and got up with a smirk.

"Its beach day today" Noel says, getting up and brushing himself off.

"I know, Sunny here seems to have arrived at the right time, want to come?" I ask her "we'll buy you a ticket there".
