Forever And Ever.

46

It was raining that evening. I stood outside against the wall outside the door to the room, sheltered by the corregated iron roof, listening to the rain. It was quite therapeautic really.
Everyone in my room was asleep. It would be almost silent in there if it wasnt for Liam's occassional snores. They were cute though, he sounded like a little piglet sometimes.

"One. Two. Three" I count and then press record on the dictorphone in my hand "My name is Jessica Maye Hamilton-Gallagher and man, my life is fucking crazy, I mean really really fucking cra-".

"Are you talking to yourself out here?" Liam interrupts me as I notice him and press pause on the recording.

"No, I'm just noting everything I need to write about down, audio notes if you will".

"So thats a yes then" he chuckles.

"Liam, can I ask you something?".

"Fire away".

"Well what if I put all this work into this book, then it gets really bad reviews, because of everythin' that's going on now?".

"Thats not gonna happen, Jess, you know everyone's looking forward to it" he smiles "I'm definitely looking forward to it".

"Of course you would be, you love reading about yourself second to hearing your own voice of course".

"Oi" he prentends to punch me on the arm "dont be so fucking cheeky". I stick my tongue out at him. "Im going to bed, you coming?". I nod and he takes my hand, pulling me into the hotel room.

I woke up the next morning with a positive mindset. For once I felt like the world was on my side, not spinning me into insanity.
A note from Liam was left on the dresser. 'Honey, gone to rehearsals. Dog's been walked and Eliza is with Noel as he claimed she should be spending more time with her dad or some stupid fucking shit like that. See you soon, love LG X'.

Of course Noel would pull 'some stupid fucking shit' like that on the one day I actually feel quite good about myself. For once though, I wasnt gonna let it bother me. Eliza would probably like spending time with her dad (I mean at this point she probably thinks Liam is her dad anyway) and her step-mum (I hate saying that so so so much). Bonding is a vital part of being a family, even if that family member just happens to be someone that your mother hates.

It also meant I had the whole day to see what boston is like. Then I can go to the Oasis show at the end of the day, liam gave me the address of the venue they were playing.
I picked up my phone and called Maggie, I knew she would probably be too busy to answer, but I took my chances anyway.
"Hello, Maggie, Oasis' tour manager, speaking. Im rather busy but hopefully I can help".

"Alright mags? Its Jess" I reply "I just wanna ask you a question really fucking quick".

"Oh anything for you Jess. Fire away".

"When we were first heading off did you say a PA was assigned to me. I know its only been four days".

"Yes, has she not introduced herself? She's been with us the whole time. Like... she has a room about five doors away from you at the moment".

"No I havent seen her, or if I did I didnt know who she was".

"Her name's Margot Taylor" Maggie replies "I dont know why she hasnt seen you. Shes in room 47, go say hello".

"MAAAAGGGS, can you tell Bone to stop fuckin' poking me" Liam moans in the background.

"Bonehead, stop poking Liam" she replies.

"He started it the toad" bone squeals defensively.

"Dont be daft" she replies then goes back to talking to me. "Sorry J, I must go. Remember Margot Taylor, room 47".
