"so... What now?" I asked looking at everyone sat around the table in the hotel restaurant. Last night had been... An experience to say the least. I took small bites out of my hash-brown timidly. After the events over the last few days I was sort of, put off my food.
"I guess we have no choice but to take Fitri with us? She isn't really in a position to survive and defend for herself right now..." Vic said as he took a bite out of his sandwich.
"That doesn't sound too bad she is nice enough." I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Yeah let's hope she is nice j don't want to be stuck with some asshole for the next two months." Mike said slightly deterred. Tony just gave him a menacing glance as he continued to eat his breakfast.
"What... I'm just saying who knows?!" Mike said raising his voice.
"I'll give her a call letting her know we are leaving and to get her stuff together soon." Tony remarked, pulling out his phone and scrolling to her contact.

"Ok! I'm don't packing!" I exclaimed, alerting everyone else in the hotel room that I was now finished. I stood over my rucksack proud that I managed to fit everything in.
Glancing around the room, I saw almsot everyone else was done however Jaime looked like he was struggling a bit. In defeat he sat on his bursting suitcase sadly and pouted.
"Jaime what's the sulky face for?" I asked approaching him.
"Y/n what do you think." He pointed his hands towards the large full red suitcase.
"Oh... You bought to much didn't you." I sighed whilst holding back a chuckle.
"Yeah I did..." He stuck out his lip unhappily.
"Looks like you're gonna have to wear some of the stuff you bought... Like that pink hat." I giggled out.
"Gladly." He sighed and I helped him stuff all his belongings into his bag and I took some of his stuff aswell.
"There we go" we stood towering over the large bag in relief it finally could close.
"We literally just started the tour Jaime... You can't buy any more stuff unless it's food or something..." I broke the news to him
"I figured... Oh well I have everything I need" he grinned and gave me a thumbs up as I retreated back to my section of the room and put all my bags on.
"Fitri says she is ready when we are." Tony explained from the otherside of the room.
"We should get going then!" Vic said as he helped me carry some of my bags.

We all gathered inside the aeroplane. It was reasonably empty for a midday flight which was odd, but at least it meant we all got seats reasonably close to eachother. And to all of our reliefs, Fitri also came prepared and had all the stuff she needed for the next month or so. Sure she looked exhausted but I couldn't blame her after all she had been through.
"Hey Fitri I'm so glad you're doing alright." I greeted her giving her a small hug before she went and sat down in her assigned seat.
Because this was a shirted flight to Thailand and only lasted an hour or two, the seats were less fancy and only two seaters. Tony and Fitri sat Infront of me and Vic, with Mike and Jaime behind us. It was nice to finally be able to sit down and talk with Vic, it felt like a long time since we talked together just privately, and although we were with loads of other people on a plane, this would be the best we could get.
As I buckled myself in I asked.
"Are you doing alright Vic? You look exhausted" he rested his forehead against the seat infront of him.
"Humph, yeah I'm alright just been a hectic few days that's all" he forced a smile at me but I could tell that was a lie.
"Cmon Vic... I can tell when you're lying I know you aren't doing to great. How are you doing, really?" I asked raising my hand to his cheek and stroking his soft skin with my thumb.
He began to grin, but truthfully this time.
"Y/n I just have a lot on my mind. I'm worried because we have only been on tour a week or so... And so much has gone wrong it feels like a cursed fucking tour and I'm just.... Stressed. O hope you understand" he said painfully.
"Of course I understand, it hard for everyone right now but the next few shows and so forth if everything goes well, should be great!" I pulled him in for a hug pitying him. His warmth rubbed off on me making me feel glad that I could help him, even just a tiny bit.
"Ugh sorry for all the negative talk y/n let's talk about something happier shall we?" He said as he pulled away from the hug and gripped my hand tight as the plane began to take off.
I bought a small carton of orange juice, while Vic had a small coffee to stay awake. The flight was nice but there were no screens so instead of watching something we had to entertain ourselves. I made light conversation as the journey continued.
"Y/n wanna see some of the songs I've been writing... I know some are bad but I'm working on them!" Vic said enthusiastically with a bright smile.
"Of course!" He pulled out a crumpled price of lined paper which was previously folded up but got a bit messed up in his bag. I grasped it in my hands and began to read the words off of it. It was scribble down in cursive writing in dark blue ink.
Are you up there?
Just give me a signal I'm reaching you now
'Cause I remember the sound of your voice
But I don't remember what we talked about
It doesn't matter, that's a waste of time
So take off your rings and lipstick for me
I swear that I can hear you in the wind
You're singing to me and you're
Dancing in the halls outside again
I'm always listening
I read the first few paragraphs of what he had written and once again in disbelief I felt amazed at how talented he was.
"You know you're really fucking good at that" I scoffed in amazement.
"At what... Writing? Pshh!" Vic laughed.
"Yes??! Literally the most talented song writer I've ever met!" I giggled and nudged him in the shoulder.
I began to blush As he pinched my cheeks between his knuckles.
"Ahh, you're my favourite human" he said planting a kiss on my forehead. I coudln't help but smile.
"You're too sweet" I just pouted and layed my heavy head on his shoulder.
The plane journey was going smoothly and I was glad it wasn't too long, I don't think I could handle another long haul flight so soon. I twiddled with my thumbs as I sat and thought. Vic's hand rested on top of my head and he rubbed my head softly.
Sighing I realised I was also pretty worried about the next few days, considering the first few shows were hectic it would be nice to actually be able to have some nice time to relax.
"We have a show today you know" Vic whispered softly still playing with my hair.
"Yeah, but it's still only like 2pm in Thailand right? So we can check into our hotel fast and get ready" I smiled calmly still keeping my head on his shoulder.
"Yeah you have to make sure to stay with Fitri though ok, when you're not on performing, you two could just stay at the hotel and hang out" Vic suggested. Although i'd live to go to their concert today, I felt rather exhausted and I was pretty sure I wasn't performing so it would be a great opportunity to spend some time with Fitri and really get to know her. It would be odd having another girl in the group, but that wasn't a bad thing.
"Sure, I would love to" I said yawning slightly.
I raised my head back up, my hair slightly scruffed up, I combed through it with my fingers and pushed my foldout table up. I took the last few sips from my juice carton making a rather loud slurping sound.
I glanced out the window looking down at the sea below us. A few scattered island poked through the oceans like pimples. It looked stunning none the less. It seemed in these tropical countries it was always sunny, lucky them. I could feel my stomach drop as I looked down, we were thousands of feet up in the air it was understandable that I felt a little nauseous. I squeezed Vic's hand tightly at the sight below me.
"It's so pretty wow." I said in disbelief.
"Isn't it?" Vic replied.
All of a sudden I heard a small ding sound coming from my left. The small seatbelt sign Illuminated.
"Looks like we are leading soon that was pretty fast" Vic said glancing back at me.
"Yeah sure did feel fast in comparison to the last flight" I joked.
"I'm gonna put my shoes back on" he said looking down at his feet and shuffling them to squeeze them back into his shoes.
"You took your shoes off... Why" I giggled.
"My feet were uncomfy" he pouted innocently.
"Let's just all be thankful Jaime didn't because his feet stink." Vic laughed.
"HEY" a small whine from behind us shouted in response. Me and Vic just laughed.
"It's ok Jaime we still love you." I replied looking at his angry face through the cracks in the seat.
Before we knew it we were headed down to land.
