The journey was longer than expected and i ended up falling asleep until i heard Crystal's voice.
"Time to wake up sleepy head, we're here!" Crystal said softly as my eyes flickered open to a surprisingly dark bus.
Was it night already? I had no idea how long i'd been asleep!
"Where are we?" i asked sitting up and trying to look out of the windows.
"Glasgow" Crystal shouted as she headed down the bus grabbing a few things she needed and ushering me to follow her out to what a supposed was Crystal's next tour venue as multiple people carried various stage props and sets inside.
"Time to get to work! Can you grab my wig I need to put it in my dressing room for tomorrow before I forget." Crystal said as she hauled her heavy drag bag inside with me following closely behind.
"So wait you set up, rehearse and perform on the same day?" I ask both confused and also shocked.
"Yep, once everything's inside we'll sleep and then in the morning the crew will set up the stage and we'll have sound and lighting checks, rehearse anything we need to and then show time! It's a lot but I think you'll like it!" Crystal explains as I place her wig down in front of her dressing room mirror.
"Okay now back to bed, I don't really know why I woke you up actually." She laughs as we head back to the tour bus outside.

Soon after Crystal had put down her phone, she'd fallen fast asleep and I could hear her breath from my bed across from her. I was laid on my back on my small tour bus bed, staring at the ceiling as I was unable to sleep. My fingers traced the strip of lights which ran along the wall and watched the curtain sway slightly with the breeze from the air conditioning. I was still in a state of shock about everything that was happening but I couldn't stop thinking about the past. My family, my father. What about my friends, would they question where I am? How am I supposed to explain this? I couldn't help but wonder if i'd made a mistake by hopping on a tour bus and travelling so far away with pretty much a bunch of strangers. I guess i have to risk it for now, it's my best option.

In the morning, i woke up to a rather incredible smell of what i guessed was food. Saying i still felt hungry was an understatement. After barely eating for days i could eat the entire menu from MacDonalds and still not be full. I climbed out of bed and was soon met by Crystal and a bag of breakfast food from a cafe around the corner.
"Crystal you shouldn't ha-" I tried to say before I was cut off.
"Stop, I want to remember?" She suggested.
"I know Crystal I just still feel bad" I looked down as I said this, not wanting to annoy Crystal.
"Well how about you stop feeling bad, eat you're food and then help me inside!" She argued sarcastically.
"Okay okay give me a minute!" I giggled before digging in to a bacon bun out of the bag.
Just as Crystal was turning to walk away I reached to grab her hand, "Crystal. Thank you."
She didn't reply with words but her kind smile was all I needed to reassure me.

Soon later, I finished my breakfast and headed inside to find Crystal speaking to some of the crew so I decided it would be best not to interrupt. I headed to her dressing room and began to organise her makeup and wigs as best as I could from memory of how they were laid out in her last dressing room. I check everything over twice making sure everything is clean and perfectly positioned as best as I can before Crystal arrives. As if on cue, Crystal walks into the room, suddenly stopping in her tracks as she sees what I have done.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry Crystal I shouldn't have touched anything I'll put it all back I-" I began.
"...have done nothing wrong! You should really stop expecting the worse because everything you do is amazing." Crystal assured me.
"I know it's just that I've kinda got use to dealing with the worst I always expect it." I spoke softly.
"God I'm sorry that was a stupid thing for me to say." Crystal's words quickened with worry.
"No no don't worry you're right anyway, after everything you've done for me I should never expect the worst from you." I smiled.
"We'll all I know is I'm really going to enjoy you being on tour with me!" Crystal giggled pulling me into a tight hug.
