we're seven months into tour, only two months left. It's bittersweet. I'm excited for a break, but I also love touring. I watched Austin on the stage, having the time of his life. The UK loved him. "It's a shame this is his last show" scooter said, watching Austin with me. I looked over at him with furrowed eyebrows. "What do you mean? There's still two months left" I said. Scooter sighed and looked over at me. "The label wants him off the tour" he said. "Wha- why?" I yelled. "Everything that happened with Malcolm, and they say that with all of the tattoos and drinking he does that he doesn't really fit well on this tour" he said. "You can't kick him off" I told him. "I don't really have a choice, and I thought you didn't want him here in the first place?" He said, raising an eyebrow. "We got over our problems" I nodded. "Ariana, I just watched you both have a screaming match thirty minutes ago" he chuckled. "Everyone fights sometimes" I shrugged. I looked out at Austin who was thanking the crowd and preparing them for me to come on. He made his way off the stage and walked over to scooter and I. "Hey, don't fall" he said with a smile. I rolled my eyes and looked over at scooter. "I need to talk to you" scooter said bluntly. Austin looked over at me, he knew something was wrong since the look on my face said it all. "Okay" he nodded and they walked off, and I slowly made my way out to the stage. As I walked out, I realized Austin probably wouldn't be waiting for me when I got done, I wanted to cry, but I tried to hold it back.
I got half way through the song and then just broke down and cried. I felt weak and so lame but the crowd only cheered.

I walked onto the tour bus and just as I expected, Austin and all of his things were gone. I checked my phone, but no texts. Weird, I expected a text from him but nothing. Scooter walked onto the bus after me and I turned to him. "This was a mistake" I told him. "Yeah, I didn't want him to go either but, the label gets what the label wants" he said, giving me a shy smile. I rolled my eyes and sat down. "So do we have a new support?" I asked. Scooter nodded. "I never heard of him, but he sings like, Spanish music or something" scooter shrugged. "Great" I mumbled. **
I watched the new support act on the stage. No one was really into it, no one was really paying any attention to him. Everyone was either on their phones or talking amongst each other. When he was done he walked up to me. "Good luck out there! I know your amazing though so you don't really need to hear that" he said excitedly. I furrowed my brows and looked at him. Oh how I missed Austin's asshole comments. "Thanks" I mumbled and made my way onto the stage. I sang the first song and looked out at the crowd. They're cheering turned into a chant. "Posty, posty, posty" everyone chanted in sync. I looked down at my feet and walked down the stage. I took a seat on one of the steps. "I know" I said into the mic, the chant slowly stopped. "I'd rather him be here too" I said, and everyone cheered. "Unfortunately he's not here, but maybe, we can do one of his songs?" I said I looked over at scooter who was standing on the side of the stage. Crowd cheered and scooter nodded. "Okay, but y'all are going to have to help me out, I'm not a rapper" I chuckled. I stood up and walked over to the sound guy. White Iverson started playing and everyone cheered again. I hadn't even started singing along but the crowd all sang. I let them sing the entire first verse and I chimed in during the chorus. "White iverson, when I started ballin I was young, you gon' think about me when I'm gone, I need that money like the ring I never won" we all sang together. I swayed my arms back and forth and the crowd mimicked the motion. I once again let them do the rap parts, but I chimed in every now and then. As the song ended the crowd cheered loudly. "Y'all are amazing" I smiled into the mic.
