We pull up to the O2 arena in London, our first show of the tour, and the nerves are setting in. We did a small tour in Australia with Hot Chelle Ray before we moved to the states, but never any huge arenas. Luke, Calum, Ashton, and I are lost in the music coming from our ear buds trying to keep calm. I look out the window at the arena as the next song on my iPod comes on, as the intro starts to 'All The Small Things' I begin to tear up thinking of Alison, It was her favorite Blink song, she used to sing it dancing in her underwear while she made breakfast. I shake my head and skip the song, I need to stay positive today, Its what Alison would want.
After the car parks near the back doors we all get out and walk in bumping each other and getting excited, a small blonde lady walks up to us and introduces herself as Nancy Cullen the schedule advisor and says that she is the one who makes sure we get to where we need to be on time. She takes us on a short tour and shows us the dressing rooms, as we walk through the door we see the One Direction boys.
"Hey lads! Guys these lads are Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Ashton Irwin, and Calum Hood, they are 5Seconds Of Summer or as they liked to be called 5SOS." Louis introduces us to the rest of the guys formally.
We all say a quick hello and start to place our things down, as we settle in Harry speaks up, "Hey guys, I'm Harry Styles, if you need anything don't be shy just ask." Liam and Naill nod in agreement.
"Hey, thanks guys, we're really looking forward to preform with you on this tour, we are fans of you guys and your music." Luke speaks for us all
We sit around talking to the guys and getting acquainted for half an hour before Nancy comes to get us and tells us we need to set up the stage how we want it so the crew will know how to do it later, we follow her the the stage where all our equipment is sitting and we all go to moving our instruments into place. After Luke has his two electrical and his acoustic guitars in place, I have mine, Calum has his two basses, and Ashton makes sure his drum kit is where he wants we go find Nancy and ask her where we need to be next.
"Well I don't know what you boys normally do with your hair but I take you to Lou, she does wonders on the boy's. She's just down this hallway." Nancy tells us and begins to leads us there.
"Hiya! I'm Lou! I can help you guys with your hair if you need it, but you look like your know what you're doing." Lou says introducing herself.
We talk to Lou for a little bit before we need to go do sound check. As we make our way back to the stage I begin to get nervous, I'm not a strong singer but I'm really good with my guitar so I get nervous singing in front of people. We walk onto the stage and see the people who have V.I.P. access so they get to watch us sound check and do questions after, there isn't many people, maybe ten girls with their parents.
"Hi guys, we're 5 Seconds Of Summer but you can call us 5SOS, we going to tune up so just give us a second." Luke says with a smile, he's always so confident on stage.
We tune up our guitars and begin to play 'Heartbreak Girl' and everything is sounding good, we play a few more songs, all cover so we don't give away our songs we have wrote. Luke opens up the floor for questions but nobody has any, we expected that since nobody here in London really knows us, but we hope to change that.
"Well thanks for listening to us play and warm up, we'll be back to preform in a bit, once again we're 5SOS and we hope you have a good time tonight!" Luke says and we walk off stage.
We go back to the dressing room so One Direction can sound check, none of us has said much today, mostly nerves. "Hey, Mikey, you alright mate? You have looked sad all day, I even saw you tear up in the car." Calum questions concerned.
"Yeah Cal I'm okay, I was thinking of Ali in the car, but I'm just nervous to be preforming here at the O2, its so huge." I tell him trying to ease his concern, i really am okay.
We hang out in the dressing room for a bit before making our way to Lou for some help with our hair, she seems so sweet I can tell we're going to get along with everyone here. We sit and talk as Lou does our hair and we get ready, before too long Nancy is at the door saying its time to go to the stage and I begin to shake with nerves. We go out on stage and I grab my black guitar and my hands calm down, I'm in my element now.
"HELLO! My name is Luke Hemmings, the handsome lad with a guitar to my right is Michael Clifford, the gorgeous bass player to my left is Calum Hood, and that sexy drummer is Ashton Irwin. And we are 5 Seconds Of Summer but you can call us 5SOS, We are four Aussies who love to make music and tonight we're going to play you some of the songs we have wrote. This first one is called 'Heartbreak Girl' and I hope you love it!" Luke introduces us and I shed all my nerves as we play.
We play four more songs before we make our way off stage, and surprisingly the crowd is cheering really loud. After we finish on stage we find Nancy and ask if there are showers because we all stink, she tells us where they are and tells us after we finish to go to the red tour bus out back, and all our things are already on it. We have a tour bus to ourselves with a few crew members that were hired to help us out. We shower and load up on the bus and find our things and claim bunks, soon the crew boards and since we're playing the O2 tomorrow as well we stay put in the parking lot. Around eleven at night everyone is wound down enough to sleep and we get in our bunks, I pull out a picture of Alison kiss it and slide it under my pillow and drift off to sleep.
