- Just to say hey, this is my first fanfic I've ever written, so please don't hate on me okay :c -

"Lazy lover, find a place for me again. You felt it once before, I know you did, I could see it." I could hear my phone almost shout out at me, I had to seriously remember to put that on silent before I go to bed. It was ironic my ring-tone was one of my songs, but it was one of my favourite from the new album.

"Hello?" I mumbled into the phone, trying to become more aware of my surroundings.

"Hey Jack, it's Rian, just checking you're up before Flyzik shouts at you for being late again." I heard the cheery voice return.

"Yeah, I'm up, I'm up! Why are you always so cheery, what time is it?"

"Urm, 7:23am."

"Seriously?! Only you would ring me before 10 on a Saturday." I groaned, this man really had no sense of timing did he?

"Just make sure you're at Matt's by 9:30, he doesn't want to set off for tour late, you know what he's like." I heard before he finally hung up.

I forgot that we were starting our tour today. 68 days of being with my best friends in the entire world, doing the thing I love the most. Being up on stage was such a thrill, just hearing the screams of the people in the crowd got me pumped. I always give them a bit of the Jalex or Merrikat treatment to get them excited too. Normally I only needed to blow a kiss at Alex and it'd get the teenagers hormones raging.

I was so excited to do this promo tour, I had been waiting for this since we started writing Don't Panic, and I'm glad we could make so many people happy with it.

That was all I could think about while showering, the water had started to run cold so I decided to get out. I towel dried my hair and put on my Home Alone shirt, my favourite shirt of all time. There was no point in trying to look good, it was only Flyzik's after all.

I grabbed my pre-packed bags and threw them in the back seat of my car. Only three for this tour, I could always buy new stuff if I forgot anything.

After a not-so-long drive I arrived, noticing the newly painted Mickey Mouse figure on the mail box. His house was seriously like a Mickey Mouse shrine, I just want to sever everything in there with a chainsaw.

Much to his surprise I was first, and early, so I just took a nap while we waited for everybody to turn up, because if I fiddled with any of the cables or equipment scattered over the floor, I know he'd chop my hands off.

Alex was the last to arrive, carrying with him 7 different bags.

"Hey man, why do you need so many bags? We're only on tour for a short amount of time, it's not like we're going to be off to England or something." Zack questioned.

"It's because one of them has Jack's stuff in them. He's bound to have forgotten something, and it was taking up room in my wardrobe anyway." Alex replied with a jokey glare at me.

Flyzik walked into the living room and gave us our 'don't get drunk and have parties every night and stay safe and don't go walking the streets on your own' lecture, but I knew the words off by heart, he's recited it to us enough.

"So when are we leaving Matt? I didn't think you were wanting us to be leaving this late." I questioned.

"Oh we have to wait for my cousin. She's 18 and she's bringing a friend too. Her mum dumped her on me before going on holiday to Australia, the selfish bi-" he started, before he was interrupted.

"Hey!" we heard a shout from the hallway.

"And that'd be her now." Matt scowled.

I turned around just as she was walking into the room. She took my breath away. She had long brown hair down to just below her ribs which flowed like a waterfall down the side of her face over the rim of her glasses that made her eyes shine. Her smile was perfect, almost as perfect as Rian's even. She was wearing light blue shorts and net tights which complimented her long legs, and a Bullet For My Valentine vest with a chequered red shirt over the top. I could see she had brand new purple Doc Martens on too, that went great with what she was wearing. I was lost for words, she was truly beautiful.

"Hey, I'm Sian. I don't know if Matt told you, but I'm going to be coming on tour with you guys. I promise I won't get in your way at all! Mum just dumped me on Matt, as if he was a babysitter. She didn't believe that I couldn't look after myself home alone for a while." she started before Matt butted in.

"Sian stop bugging them," he mumbled while trying to organise yet more wires.

"She wasn't annoying us, she was just introducing herself," I snapped back. But Matt was too busy to notice because Sian's friend had arrived.

She was about 5'4 with blonde shoulder length hair with a full side swept fringe. With black criminal damage skinnies and a too-big-for-her Mickey Mouse jumper she looked great, so it was no surprise Matt stared, she too looked stunning.

"Hey Toni how did you find us?" Sian laughed to herself.

"Giving me the wrong house number when the two massive tour buses outside gave it away," she replied.

I'd never seen Matt so gob smacked. He just sort of shuffled himself towards her and said "Well I guess we're all here now so let's get going."

As everybody made their way out to the buses Matt shouted to us that Toni and Sian would be sharing the bus with us, as would Matt, and the rest of the crew would have the smaller bus with all the equipment.

I was so excited that I was going to be able to share a bus with Sian, something about the way she smiled at me when she walked in made me want to know more about her.

As we were clambering up onto our bus and getting settled, Matt pulled me aside.

"Oh and Barakat, keep your hands off my cousin."
