   "I didn't even met yo friends, but you were always talking shit 'bout mine!" Reece shouts, walking alongside Cassie as they approach the back of the arena.

   "And one thing led to another 'cause we'd be fighting for days. I used to think that I loved ya, but now it's all been erased!" Cassie sang along, the pair singing obnoxiously down the sidewalk.

   "We drifted further and further, I didn't want to let go. But I know, I know, I know," Reece sings loudly, both consecutively screaming, "I ain't missing yoooou at ALL!"

   "I don't need no medicine," Cassie snaps her fingers, hop and pep in both her and Reece's steps.

   "Oh woah!" Reece tunes in with the background vocals, Cassie laughing as Reece attempts to dance and walk at the same time.

   "I'm better than I've ever been."

   "Oh woah!" Reece repeats, Cassie attempting to say the next line, but having to stop herself as she can't contain her laughter.

   "Go on!" Reece laughs, Cassie crouched down on the ground as she holds her stomach in laughter.

   "I wasn't expecting you to pitch in so causally," Cassie wheezes, hands over her face as she continues to laugh, "I'm bugging, oh my god."

   "Better than," Reece sings, helping Cassie up, "I ain't missing yoooou at ALL!"

   "I don't need no medicine!" Cassie continues, hand over her mouth as chuckles continue to spill from her lips.

   "Oh woah!" Reece claps, Cassie bursting into laughter again, attempting to calm down as they turn the corner and reach a group of fans.

   "Do you guys know how to shut up?" Blake scolds, stepping off the bus, "I could hear you from in here."

   "Sorry," Cassie winds down, collecting herself before walking over to him, "how're you feeling?"

   "Fine," Blake replies coldly, taking Cassie's hand before walking over to the line of fans.

   "Hello everybody," Blake smiles, walking over to the small line of fans, "how are we?"

   "Great! Excited for the show," One girl responds, Cassie standing by awkwardly. She didn't exactly want to be there, but she didn't want to just leave Blake alone, either.

   "Meet and greet and soundcheck starts soon. We have some VIP tickets left, I'll see if I can get some for you guys," Blake suggests, the fan's faces lighting up at the idea. Blake felt bad that they had to line up behind back in hopes to see them, instead of being able to wait inside in the warmth, to meet them and see them soundcheck.

   "Between the two of us, we have enough spaces on the guest list for them to join in early," Cassie informs Blake, who nods before turning to the girls.

   "It'll just mean you won't be able to come to the meet and greet, but we can just get George out here to see you," Reece explains, their faces lighting up with excitement. It was obvious that seeing their fans happy, was one of the most important things for the them.

   "I can quickly pop back out here after meet and greet to collect you all and bring you to soundcheck?" Cassie offers, excited nods and stuttered 'thank you's being shared between one another.

   "We already have general admission tickets, but you're not allowed in the building yet, unless you have vip," One of the girls inform shyly.

   "I know it's not really fair, but it's just easier that way, because the lines don't get mixed up. It's less hassle for everyone," Reece explains genuinely.
