We all loaded off the bus to the place where we were performing in about 3-4 hours. Our suitcases were all loaded into the changing rooms so when we go in everything was in its place. 

"EVERYONE GET ORGANIZED THEN GET SOME FOOD READY TO TAKE TO THE STAGE AT AROUND HALF 6/7" Leon shouted his order. 

Me, Kelly and Lu were sharing a changing room considering it wasn't as big as the arena tour changing rooms. We got out our outfits, makeup and toiletries ready for when we came back. We all headed off to the canteen for something to eat. The tables were split into 4's so obviously all the boys were together and me Lu, Kelly and Lisa were sitting on one next to the boys. I had my favourite tuna pasta with water, i could live on it! Every time i looked around i would see the movement of Aston's head turn around several times to look at me. Or maybe i was just being paranoid. 

"Emily?" Lisa snapped her fingers in front of my face. 

"Err yeah." I replied snapping out of my day dream. 

"You alright there? haha in your own world." Lisa laughed, i just giggled along. It was now time to go and get ready for our performance, first night on tour, YES! We all headed back to our rooms to get ready. We slid on our outfits, did our hairs and makeup and tidied up a little. Then we heard Leon shouting for our signal to go on stage. 

BACK ON THE TOUR BUS.

"WHAT A GREAT SHOW GUYS!" Oritsé shouted while we were all gathered around in the tour bus heading to Oxford over night, so we were spending the night on here travelling. We had the cushions and quilts lay down for us all to relax and check twitter and play some things to keep us entertained. It went Lutricia, Oritsé, Aston me then Kelly next to Marvin with Jay and the dancers and Leon all huddled together. Considering my feelings for Aston were strong, i didn't want to ruin ouR friendship so it was kind of like bestfriends, i didn't want to let him go. We were all getting tired and some of the dancers were falling asleep along with Leon and Jay crashed out. I couldn't sleep because i still felt a little ill but Aston wasn't asleep either. Oritsé and Lutricia had gone up to the bunks with Marvin and Kelly spread out where they were asleep. I thought Aston haD fallen asleep but he hadn't, i was tweeting and texting and trying to sleep sitting up was hard. Aston had his arm around the back of me so ever time i did doze off, my head would hit his arm gently. 

"Babe why you still awake? Its late." Aston looked into my eyes. 

"Feeling a little ill need a drink." I sighed jumping up. I got to the kitchen and got a glass of water. I had my joggers and jumper on with my hair in a messy bun because it was curled for the show. I turned around to fill my glass up and heard someone coming. it was Aston walking around the corner coming to the kitchen. 

"You alright?" Aston stroked the back of his head to his neck. 

"Yeah i guess! Neck is killing me though im going to go and lie upstairs in the pit." I smiled holding my head. Aston grabbed at my arm. 

"Ill come up with you if you want? It gets lonely up there plus the bus is quite bumpy." He pulled a small laugh. 

"That would be nice!" I looked down smiling like an idiot. 

"Hold on you go up ill get some pillows and grab the quits." Aston walked off into the main part where everyone had fallen asleep. 

I walked up the stairs seeing Ori and Lu cuddled in a single bunk, i honestly thought to myself how that was possible but it obviously was. I jumped onto the big round sofa waiting for the quits, i had to admit i was freezing! Aston walked up with everything, i know i am small but him carrying that with him being small did make me laugh. 

"Need help midge?" I laughed. 

"You what?" Aston through the quilts and pushed me onto the bed leaving me in fits of laughter after tickling me. 

"Ahh no stop its like 2 in the morning im so tired!" I held my belly with no energy at all.

"Haha midge." He winked. This sent me off into my own world. He did the wink.

"Because you are okay? Now shush im going to sleep." I winked pushing him down onto a pillow.

"Night shorty." Aston kicked me under the quilt.

"Night midget." I through my arm over scuffing at the hair he had left on his head.

THE NEXT DAY.

All of a sudden the bus came to a stop and i heard Oritsé fall out of bed.

"AHH WHAT NA!" Ori held his back with the shock.

"Oh my what the?" Lutricia held her mouth as she giggled into her palm.

"What the actually man?" Aston had only just woke up and was already in fits of laughter. "Oh good morning shorty." He pushed at my leg. "Wake up." 

"No to early im tired." I nudged him off.

"Ill throw water over you." I sensed a smile from him.

"Throw water over me and ill trip you up on stage." I laughed. "I am your dancer, you got to deal with me." 

"I will deal with you just fine." Aston grabbed the quilt and threw it off, got my legs and arms and carried me down the stairs to the others who looked rough like me so it was alright.

"Midge get off me." I winked looking back.

"Or what?" Aston did his cheeky smile that i honestly couldn't cope with inside.

We got our things from the bus and went to the hotel to get our things packed away. It was only 3 to a room so Marv, Jay and Reesh shared one, me, lu and Kelly then Aston and Leon and the dancers all split up. We headed up to our rooms to chill for a while to wait for our mini buses to take us to the stage. I plugged my phone into charge and headed for a shower while the girls un-packed. The warmth of the water helped to unblock my stuffed nose! I jumped out putting a towel around my body and head, i went to collect my underwear and clothes and went back into the bathroom to brush my teeth and get changed into something to go for lunch in. I checked my phone and i had a text from Aston. 

'Oh shorty your a cutie when you sleep! ;p Axxx.' with a picture of me asleep attached. I was going to seriously kill this boy. The time passed by and it was almost 2pm. We headed to the hall for some lunch all together then heading to the stage at 4!

"SHORTYYY" I heard from down the hall, Aston running up to me. "WHY TURN AROUND?!"

"I heard SHORTTTYY so i turned.." I couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh you know your name." Ast winked hiding because he knew my reaction.

"Shut up you!" I hit him playfully.

"Naa and ohh so hows your dancing? Tonight is going to be messy." Aston grabbed my arm and dragged me to lunch.  

"Yeah i bet your moves are nothing, oh and that picture of me sleeping.. WHAT?!" I grabbed his arm tighter. 

"Aw you look like a baby, haha! But no my dancing is much better, them shots, drinks, going down a treat tonight, going to be a memory." Aston winked as we stepped into the hall ready for lunch.
