Ricky's POV

5:30 and I'm still awake from a restless night’s sleep. Well you could hardly call it a night’s sleep. We'd finally got to bed around midnight after everyone had poured out of the venue and we'd sat waiting for Demi to finish her signing. The girl certainly does love her fans like seriously she waited and saw every single one that came out.

We'd been gathering drinks from backstage and the bar all night so now it was all being piled into one big bucket to take back onto the bus. Simply because this week was Demi's 20th birthday so we were celebrating with a party every night on the bus and then a massive blowout one on her actual birthday. Which happened to be tonight.

As the rest of the crew were loading everything onto the trucks myself, second guitarist Alex, drummer Rob and bassist Steve were sat on the steps outside of the venue waiting for Demi to finish so we could give her our traditional after show group hug. What? Demi thinks it's cute.

There's always been that amazing connection between the 5 of us ever since we first played together as a band... Got Dynamite, I remember it vividly, the 4 of us were so nervous because it was our first job playing for such a big artist but she was just like a normal human being, she came into the waiting room where myself, Rob, Alex and Steve were sitting and just simply beamed at us with that big cheesy grin of hers accompanied by an excited "You must be my new band!" and a big warm hug. I don't wanna sound corny but it was one of the best days of my life, I think because it was the start of something amazing.

After that she simply led us to the rehearsal room and said "Shall we play some songs then?!" beaming with joy at her new but terrified band, granted we'd all calmed down after we saw the amount of energy she put into practice, simply stunning. Still to this day she puts 100% into her practices and then even more into her performances on the night. She's a machine it's incredible to be around... And I have the pleasure of being on stage with that ball of energy every single night.

So as we sat there waiting for Demi to come out we instantly heard loads of fans screaming... Our cue that Demi was on her way outside. We saw Max Demi's bodyguard walking out of the back exit with a flashlight only to be accompanied by Demi herself. God, she looked drained, well who wouldn't be after having hundreds of fans screaming at you all day. I signalled to the lads that Demi was coming out and we simply stood there with our arms outstretched waiting for her warm and our sweaty embrace.

"You guys are so sweet" - She beamed at us as she walked towards us.

"We've known you too long and have been doing this for too long to stop now! - Shouted Steve, she gave a small giggle and shot us a glimpse of those perfect teeth of hers through that big smile that creeped up her face. I found myself always smiling around Demi no matter what the mood; she just has one of those personalities I guess.

"Come bring it in then!" - We said with our arms still outstretched, she smiled and buried herself in the middle of this massive warm but sweaty group hug.

"Awh I love you guys so much!" - She said looking up at us, aww she's so small when she doesn't have heels on its rather cute almost like our own little pixie.

"We love you too Dem!" - Rob exclaimed with a grin on his face.

 "We couldn't ask for a better artist to play for!" - He exclaimed again still with his stupid little grin on his face, Demi blushed and a small smile crawled up her face to meet her cheekbones, she looked stunned and didn't know what to say so just us all a hug each.

"Right! Well we'd better get on that bus that beer isn't going to drink itself!" - Alex exclaimed shooting off into the tour bus, with me, Rob, Steve and Demi following behind.
