"Harry common we have to go your first show is in a few hours and you aren't going to be able to get ready cuddling on your couch in Louis' arms," I say walking into the living room. "Plus it's not like he isn't coming with, you can cuddle him in the car and kinda cuddle him when you are in the hair and makeup chairs".

"Fine, fine we are coming," Harry said getting up from the couch then pulling Louis along with him.

Once we got to the venue Harry did a soundcheck and it sounded good so I sent him to get ready. While Harry was getting ready I walk around and made sure everything was ready. Eventually, people started to come in and it was almost time to start the show.

June 10, 2019

We have been in your for about four months and even though it is a lot of hard work it is still so much fun. We just got to Colorado which means I get to see family and friends.

We just parked at the venue and I saw my parent's car already there so I jumped out of the tour bus and ran over to them. "Mom, dad. I missed you guys so much" I said jumping into there arms.

"We missed you too, how has touring been," my mom asked.

"It has been hard, especially when Louis comes because I can't get Harry to focus on his job. Also Modest! Is a pain in the ass" I said letting go of them and leading them into the venue.

"Well I'm glad you know what it's like to have a job," my dad said.

"Yeah, I mean this has been my dream job since like 6th grade and even though I don't get some of 'the high school exit is so worth it. I love traveling and hanging out with Harry and the band" I say walking backstage.

"I am glad to hear it, so what do you have to do today," my mom asked.

"Well in about an hour Lena and Phoenix will be here. I have to help with soundcheck and make sure everything is ready so the show can run smoothly".

As I finished saying that one of the crew me and asked "Ms. Russo, we have finished holding the stage and double-checked everything. Would you like to check it as well?"

"Yeah," I say and turn to my parents, "you guys can come with me or you can go to Harry's dressing room and hang out with him for a little bit".

They looked at each other as if talking through their eyes and turned back and said in unison "we will come with you".

" We want to see you do your job," my dad said.

"Ok follow me then," I said and turned to follow the crew member.

An hour later mom, dad, and I are hanging out with Harry in his dressing room and one of the security guards comes in and say "excuse me, Ms. Russo, there are two girls outside that day they are your friends".

"Oh thank you I will handle them," I say and get up and walk out of the dressing room leaving my parents with haz.

I walked up to the doors the security guard said they were at and opened it to see two of my best friends. "Hey, guys," I say and jump at them.

"Holy shit, Elly we missed you so much," Lena said with a nodding Phoenix beside her.

"I missed you guys too and I am really happy you could make it," I say pulling them in through the door.

I felt someone slap the back of my head and turned around to see Phoenix glaring at me. "Ow, what was that for?"

" you left without saying goodbye. I had to find out you were gone from Lena" she said with a sad look on her face.

"I know and I'm sorry but you were homesick and it all happened to fast," I said.

"You could have called or even just texted me" she whined.

"I am really sorry nix" I apologized.

"Its ok! So how has touring been" Nix asked?

"It's been amazing and I love it. Though I don't get much sleep because I have meetings still and we usually don't get on the bus till midnight then we are driving all night and honestly it's really hard to get sleep when the bus is bouncing around the road" I complain walking into Harry's dressing room.

"The bus does not bounce around the road, you are just being dramatic" Harry says.

"Harry you have basically been on the road since you were 16, you are used to it" I retort. "Oh and Pheonix, Harry. Harry, Phoenix."

"Hi, nice to meet you Phoenix," Harry said getting up and extending his hand for Phoenix to take.

"It's nice to meet you too. Your really hot and your music is pretty good as well." Nix grinned and honestly I am not surprised she said that because she is a very open person. I may have forgotten to mention the whole Larry thing to her but I did tell Lena so right now she and I are laughing links crazy.

"Well thank you. Elly, just curious did you tell her?"

"No" I laughed out.

"Tell me what?"

" you know the whole Larry thing," hazza asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't know I mean I have seen the proof, but you could have just been friends," she said.

At that moment Louis came in and yelled "friends, really. Do you know how many times we got caught asking each other for blow jobs? Or the whole titanic thing". At this point I was laughing my ass off because Nix was in shook, well that was until I remembered my parents were in the room.

"Um, Elly did you know about this when you were 14? you know when you were obsessed with these two" my mom asked and my face paled.

"Sorry Elly" Louis said with a sympathetic smile.

"It's ok Louis. And yes I did but I am now 17 and I have a real job and a boyfriend. I am basically an adult at this point so you can not be mad at me.." I looked at my watch and saw that we need to do soundcheck so I got up and said: "Harry we have to do soundcheck and anyone who wants to watch can come as well."
