July 17th
Waking up severely hungover seems to have become a pattern in my life. I open my eyes and see Billie scrolling on her phone.

"What you doing baby" I rasp out and swing my arm over her waist

"Looking at how people are liking the album" she replies eyes still glued to the screen

"And..." I ask

"Everyone loves it, some people are hating on the switch up but mostly people like it" she says

"That's brilliant" I say "but if you sit there and analyse every comment you're going to go crazy"

"You're right" she says switching off her phone and beginning to gently trace shapes my arm with her finger " I can't believe you're on tour in 2 weeks" she says

"I know but it's only a month then I'll see you again and I'll be back in time for November" I reply

She hums in response and we get out of be. She spending this week on more promotions and I am on tour mode for the next two weeks.

Today we're sorting out our outfits for tour.

"What's the vibe we're going for" Grayson says

"Honestly something I'm not going to sweat through" River replies

"I'm with River it's gonna be hot" I say. Turning to our stylist I say "honestly I'd be down with a matching suit and only bra underneath, I think that would look sick. If I get too hot I'll take the jacket off"

"I like that idea y/n, I'm gonna have to go with the all black fit, T-shirt and trousers" River says

"I'll go for a more flowy shirt and black trousers but match my shirt to y/n's suit everynight we can switch it up" Grayson adds making everyone in the room agree

"Any outdoor venues I would love a pair of nice sunglasses" I say also making my band members nod

Currently we have less than a week before we flight out to Spain to start our tour. Grayson, River and I have been spending half of the day sorting out last minute tour plans and then the other half with our significant others before we have to leave them.

Today our tour manager is going over our schedule one last time with outlines including when we get days off and Reading/Leeds festival.

When we break I see a few texts from Billie, she seems stressed so I call her

"Hey baby you ok? Your texts are kind of worrying" I say as soon as she picks up

"I'm really anxious, my ticks are bad today" she says sounding as if she has cried

(A/N I know I haven't mentioned Billies Tourette's before and I don't know how I will incorporate them later but I'm trying"

"It'll be ok Billie it's just part of you, I can come home?" I say

"How long do you have left" she asks

"We're just talking over plans I'm coming home ok?" I say to which she replied with ok and we say goodbye

"Hey guys Billies not doing great mind if I skip out early" I say returning into the room

"No yeah of course" Grayson says

"Hope she's ok I'll see you tomorrow" River adds

"Bye love you guys" I say before jumping in my car and speeding home. As I walk through the door I see Billie with tear stained eyes.

"Come here Bills" I say giving her a hug "I know it's exhausting"

She lets go and looks at me not saying anything I can see her ear twitching.

I grab her hand and lead her to the door calling shark over and putting them both in the car.

"Where are we going?" She asks

"To your mums house I called her on my way home to you" I say

"You have my mom's number?" She says giving my side eye

"I'll never get used to you saying mom and yes, me and maggie are besties" I reply causing her to laugh

When we arrive Maggie greats us as normal and talk to Billie, eventually she passes out laid on me on the sofa.

"Thanks for calling sweetheart" Maggie says in a low voice, sitting next to us

"No problem, you're more qualified than I am. I just want what's best for her" I say

"She's been through a lot, believe it or not she used to be a handful" she says making me laugh "she's a lot happier now and I know she's really happy with you so thank you"

"I would do anything for her" I say looking down at my napping girlfriend. "thank you for being so kind to me" I say to Maggie

"No problem" she smiles

Today is the day that we flight out for tour. Billie and I spent all last night stress packing my suitcases that I've been putting off. We spent some extra quality time together... if you know what I mean.

And right now I have to say goodbye.

I grab her by the waist and bring her into a deep hug. "I'm gonna miss you, take care of the love of my life... Shark"

She pulls away slightly giving me a look "and yourself of course" I say jokingly pulling her back in making her laugh too

"I love you" she says

"I love you too Billie" I say walking away, if I stay longer I might cry

I look over to see Grayson and river stood next to eachother

"Lesbians" I hear Grayson say as he rolls his eyes jokingly

"It's good to show a little emotion boys" I quip back

We all walk into the airport and meet up with our tour team to hop on the 11 hour flight. I send a quick text to Billie telling her I was boarding the plane and then turn my phone onto airplane mode.

"So you ready lover girl" River says

"More than ready, I cannot wait to perform" I say

"Every show is sold out" Grayson says

"It's gonna be crazy" River says

As they talk about all the food they're gonna eat I close my eyes hopefully making this plane ride go faster.

A/N another filler chapter 🫡
