March 27 for those keeping track. (Yes I skipped a few days in there.. sorry)
"Alright, crew meeting." Ryan called out.
"Front of the bus." Jack added. They all sit down on the couches, Lilly sitting on Ryans lap, holding Evan in her lap, cat beside them, Jack on the other side of Ryan, Adam leaning on the counter, the crew in places around that.
"Alright everyone," Adam starts. "Some introductions seem to be necessary. Everyone, this is our little sister, Lilly, she's joining us as a special guest singer and band assistant."
"And just general awesomeness." Ryan adds. Everyone laughs.
"We also have Cat, Ryan's girlfriend." Jack adds. Everyone says hello, and Adam gets back to the point.
"So, there is one thing we all need you to know about Lilly. I can already see she's getting nervous about me talking about this, but, Lilly has anxiety, and she has panic attacks quite often." Adam starts. Lilly tenses up around Ryan like normal. Ryan rests his hands on Lilly's sides from behind her. She leans back into Ryan and curls up into a ball, turning sideways. Ryan wraps his arms around her and rubs her back like normal.
"So, if you see her doing this, or freaking out in any way, call Jack or Ryan, they will calm her down. We will be trying to get to a point where Cat and I can calm her down as well, but for now, just call Jack or Ryan. Everyone got that?" Adam says. Everyone nods.
"It would be nice for someone stay with her until we get there, but I get that's not a possibility sometimes." Jack adds.
"If we're on stage, Cat will be backstage with Lil, and we should be ok." Ryan says.
"C-can we stop talking about this?" Lilly says, not looking at anyone.
"Just one more thing Lil," Adam says.
"We should do introductions with the crew and Lilly, so she knows who you all are and what you do. We'll go around the room, just say your name and what you do, then give Lilly a high five."
"I'll start." JJ says. "I'm JJ, and I play trumpet. Welcome to the team Lilly." JJ says and gives Lilly a high five. It takes Lilly a second to put her hand out, but JJ was patient. They continue going around the room until everyone said hi.
"Also, you should all know Evan." Ryan adds. "Evan is Lilly's dinosaur."
"Everyone know what they need to know about Lilly?" Everyone nods. "Alright, to the first show!" Jack says.
They sit around the bus as they drive to the city in which the first show is. They had to assign bunks to everyone, so they did Jack and Lilly in the bottom in the first set of bunks, Ryan above Jack and Cat about Lilly, Adam above Ryan and JJ above Cat. The rest of the crew fit in the other set of bunks and they enjoyed their drive.
