Avi's POV:

Probably the most important tour for probably our most important album officially begins in 5 days. The pressure, is ON. Early this morning we landed in Nashville, TN where our tour will begin. No later than we step off of the plane does Esther begin rattling off details. Sure, the things she's talking about aren't new to us, we've heard the plans before. But now it's real. We have to execute those plans now! I believe I'm ready. I like working. I like diving into projects and putting in 100%, and then sitting back and watching your own masterpiece in action. Tour was the perfect platform for that sort of thing. But, like I said: Most important tour, most important album. The pressure is on for us to make this perfect for nobody but ourselves.

Kirstie's POV:

We're in Nashville to kick off our new tour for our original album. I want to scream with excitement every time that thought pops into my head. I'm pumped! We settle into a hotel and head straight back out to the venue the see the new set designs and begin rehearsal immediately! 5 days until showtime... that's scary. It gets exciting again when we meet with our stylists to discuss wardrobe and even try on a few things.

Wanna know a secret?

Touring is hard.

People ask me all the time what it's like to be the only girl in a group with four guys. I never quite know how to answer that question until we go on tour. The whole, 'I'm the only girl thing' doesn't just stop after Scott, Mitch, Kevin, and Avi. It's everyone. Everyone is a man, it seems. This makes tour tricky. Other than Esther and Genevieve, and a random female crew worker depending on what city we're in... I work primarily with men. Which, whether they intend to or not, means my opinions get overlooked, they talk over me in conversations, and because of dressing room/sleeping situations I'm often separated from my friends. Touring can be lonely, not to mention completely exhausting. Everyone means well, I swear they do... It's just the way it is.

Avi's POV:

Exhausted. It's only day one and I am completely exhausted. We've been moving since 8AM Nashville time... Which means 5AM L.A. time... which our bodies function according to. After meeting with the production managers and seeing the set pieces, it was back to back rehearsals on top of rehearsals. Kevin and I silently grudge into our shared hotel room and fall back onto our beds. I'm satisfied. Tired beyond belief, but happy with myself.

"You mind if I get in the shower first?" Kevin spoke up.

"No, go right ahead." I reply. After rummaging through his suitcase he disappears into the bathroom.

I slowly roll over to my side and am suddenly fixated on the pillow beside me. Kirstie! I seem to have completely forgotten about her today. I'm wishing she were laying next to me right now...

Damn, I'm a little mad at myself now. Did I even speak to her today. What was she even wearing? Oh God, I'm the worlds worst boyfriend! I dig my phone out of my pocket and dial her number. I hope she's not asleep yet.

*RING* *RING* *RING*

Hey this is Kirstie, I can't come to the phone right now, so leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can, Thanks!

Damn

*BEEP*

"Hey baby it's me... Avi" of course she knows your name stupid... "uhh I love you... You're probably sleeping so you don't have to call back or anything... unless you want to!" Ok, wrap this up, Kaplan. "Anyway, I was just thinking about you, and wanted to wish you goodnight so... goodnight!... Ok, Bye!"

Smooth! Real smooth...

Kirstie's POV:

I step out of the bathroom, freshly showered ready for sleep. Esther is on her bed brushing out her wet hair. "Hey, would you mind french braiding my hair?" She asked

"Sure!" I said. Of course I wanted to pass out, but I used every opportunity to make our time together just like a middle school sleepover. I loved Esther! Even though there are only a few girls to play with around here, I'm glad Esther is one of them! She's one of my best friends. She's also the busiest person I knew... which made getting a hold of her, just to talk about anything close to impossible. Moments like this were priceless. Sure I have my woe's about touring... but the good times are 100 times better than the bad times. That made it all very worth it. "OK, it's done!"

"Yay! Thank you!" she said feeling the braid. She turned towards me and we shared sleepy smiles. "Is that Avi's shirt?" she asked

"Oh this? uh, yea it is." I blushed. She just rolled her eyes at me, "What? It smells like him."

"Eww! Get off of my bed!" she teased tickling my side, "Get some sleep you've worked hard today... Oh! Your phone rang while you were in the shower."

I quickly dug around for my phone. '1 missed call from Bass Cannon Dragon' a goofy smile spread on my face. I played the voice mail.

Hey baby it's me... Avi

Esther rolled her eyes at his voice. I took the phone off of speaker and listened to the rest to myself.

"What do you see in my dweeby brother anyway?" she joked

"I love him..." I said quietly

"AWWW! You two are adorable it's gross!" She teased, "Hey, how's everything? Ya know with... the miscarriage and all?" she asked quietly, "Are you better?"

I smiled over at her, "Yea! I'm much better... Thanks for asking!" I love my friends. We got into bed and I clicked the lamp off. I pulled my phone back out to send Avi a quick text.

K: We'll talk tomorrow! I love you, Goodnight!

A: Goodnight Kitty! I love you more!

We were both in good spirits. I couldn't help but wonder how long we would stay that way.

A/N: I know I said I wouldn't have this ready until December but... I had the time so I figured I'd write while I'm still freshly inspired! Hope you liked the first chapter!
