'I can't believe we're going on tour!' Daisy squealed as the British Airways plane flew through the sky on March 23rd, heading for Paris. It was 8am and I groaned at her excitement. For me, it was still too early. I looked at my wrist, with a support slipped over it. I didn't need the splint any more, but I'd still been told to keep it supported whenever possible as it would still take a bit of time to heal completely.

I glanced over at Jake and Jesse, who were fast asleep in the row beside us. 'Why can't you be asleep like those two?'

'Aren't you excited?! We're going to see Europe!'

Oh I was excited. Very. I'd hardly slept the night before. But, I was also nervous. I glanced out at the blue sky and clouds we were flying above, knowing that we would be in Paris soon. Nathan and his team were already there, setting up for the concert that night and squeezing in last minute rehearsals. 'I am excited.' I told my friend. 'But it's pretty scary! Our first tour!'

'We'll have great fun!'

'I'd agree if kill-joy wasn't with us.' I signalled over to where Eric was sleeping with Matt beside him, watching something on his laptop.

'Don't let him ruin it for you.' My friend said, tying her newly-dyed bright red hair into a ponytail. 'We're going to have a great time and the first stop is Paris! I've always wanted to go to Paris!'

I smiled. 'Paris is always a good idea.'

'Amen to that Audrey.'

We headed straight from the airport to our hotel, checking into our rooms and then grabbing a quick lunch before heading out again to the Zenith de Paris venue, our outfits in dressbags over our shoulders.

'Do you think we'll get to see Paris?' Daisy asked Jesse as we walked into the venue.

'Who knows.' Jesse shrugged back at her.

I didn't know, either. I hoped so. Our flight to Antwerp wasn't until early morning on the 26th, so that gave us two days with no plans. That I knew of. 'Woah.' I gasped, catching sight of just how many seats were in the venue.

'How many seats is that?' Jake asked from behind me, his voice nervous.

'I think I read 6,000 mate.' Jesse replied and I simply just blinked.

'Lucy!' Nathan walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. 'Great to see you.'

'You too.' I smiled, although I'd seen him the previous week. He hugged Daisy and then shook hands with Jake and Jesse.

'Are you guys excited?'

'Yes!' My band chorused and I just nodded, nervously.

'Lucy, band, you're up! Come on, we haven't got long for soundcheck!' Eric called from across the venue and I sighed. No time to chat, obviously.

That night, I sat in my dressing room with Daisy as an unfamiliar girl did my make-up and hair. She didn't say anything to me at all, but the make-up was similar to how Amanda always did it and she'd left my hair in loose curls, again like Amanda. I sighed with relief as I looked in the mirror; my hair and make-up looked good and my first outfit for tour consisted of some leather high-waisted shorts, a cream chiffon blouse and my usual shoe boots. I added a statement necklace and checked my appearance in the mirror; it would do fine. I looked down at the beige-coloured support on my wrist and decided I'd keep it on for the concert instead of risking damaging it straight away.

'You look great.' Daisy told me with a smile. 'I'm going to get changed and then I'll be right back.' She grabbed her clothes and disappeared out of the dressing room, going to the bathroom.

I sat down on the sofa, looking longily at Daisy's guitar. It was still too early to play. Instead, I warmed up my vocal chords with an acapella version of one of my favourite songs. 'Beauty queen of only eighteen she had some trouble with herself. He was always there to help her, she always belonged to someone else. I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door. I've had you so many times but somehow I want more. I don't mind spending every day out on your corner in the pouring rain.'

The door opened and I stopped singing as Nathan stuck his head around the corner. 'Sorry, I did knock but I guess you didn't hear me.' He said with his signature smile.

'Sorry.' I apologised, grabbing my bottle of water. I unscrewed the lid and took a quick sip.

'It's alright.' He perched himself on the arm of the sofa I was sat on. 'So are we still going ahead with our cover tonight?'

I nodded. 'Eric's hardly going to complain. I hope.'

'He needs to get over himself.' Nathan shook his head. 'How are you feeling?'

'Nervous.' I replied, honestly. I bit my lip.

There was a knock on the door and the stage manager stuck his head around the doorframe. '5 minutes Lucy. We need you in the wings.' I stood up and took a deep breath, trying to swallow the bile rising in my throat.

'Hey,' Nathan said, grabbing my hand and giving it a squeeze. 'You are going to be great.'

Daisy, Jake and Jesse walked onto the stage, giving me a high-five as they passed, walking on in the darkness. I fiddled with the microphone in my hand, nervously, as my heart hammered in my chest. Then the introduction of Heartattack filled the stage and it was time to walk on. After the applause and incredible audience response to Heartattack, my nerves started to disappear and I felt a lot more relaxed as I moved around the stage, singing and dancing, squeezing the hands of the fans in the front row. Before I knew it, it was time for my final song.

' Like a Skyscraper.' I held onto the last note and the crowd applauded, sending adrenaline pumping through my veins. 'Thank you, Paris, you've been amazing!' I took a bow and then disappeared off the stage.

'That was awesome!' Jesse said, high-fiving each of us.

I, instead, pulled everyone in for a hug. 'A great opening night of tour guys, well done!'

'I need a drink, I'm on fire.' Daisy said, putting her guitar back into her case.

'I'll come with you.' Jake said, following her off.

'Great work, girl.' Jesse said, nudging me with his hip. 'Fancy grabbing a drink after?'

'You were awesome!' Nathan said, pulling me into a hug. Jesse frowned and walked off, leaving the two of us in the wings.

'Aren't you about to go on?' I laughed as he released me.

'Yes, but I wanted to say congratulations on a rocking performance before I went on.' He shot me a lopsided smile as he was called over by his stage manager. 'Show time.' He whispered to me before disappearing off.

I stayed in the wings, watching as the lights dimmed and the fangirls started to scream hysterically. And then a spotlight went on centre stage, where Nathan was suddenly stood in his black skinny jeans, converse and a grey v-neck t-shirt, his guitar slung over his shoulder. His hands ran over the chords, showing the muscles on his arms. Then he started to sing.

'Tried to keep you close to me,

But life got in between

Tried to square not being there

But think that I should've been

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river, so I

Can stop for a minute and see where you hide

Hold back the river, hold back

Once upon a different life

We rode our bikes into the sky

But now we're caught against the tide

Those distant days all flashing by

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river, so I

Can stop for a minute and be by your side

Hold back the river, hold back.'

'You're on in ten, Lucy.' Nathan's manager told me a couple of songs later. 'It's time to get changed.'

I slipped off back to my dressing room, changing into the outfit for the cover song; something more girly. The dress was baby blue with a lace top, plunging v-neck line and a skater skirt with netting underneath. I teamed it with my silver wedges, took off my wrist support and quickly fixed my hair before returning to the side of the stage. I was given a microphone almost straight away and my earpiece was reconnected.

'Thank you Paris, you're incredible!' Nathan said as he finished his song, causing more screams. 'Okay, I'm going to sing a cover next so if you know the words please feel free to singalong.' He handed his guitar over to a member of the stagecrew and his band took over, playing the intro. I took a deep breath and walked onto the stage, singing.

'I really wanna stop

But I just got the taste for it

I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon.' I reached Nathan and gave him a smile as he took over the vocals.

'So honey hold my hand, you like making me wait for it

I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah.'

We turned to face each other as the vocals shifted back to me. 'Late night, watching television.'

'But how'd we get in this position?'

Nathan took his microphone out of the stand as we continued as a duet, our voices fitting together like a perfect harmony. 'It's way too soon, I know this isn't love

But I need to tell you something

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

Oh, did I say too much?

I'm so in my head

When we're out of touch

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?'

'It's like everything you say is a sweet revelation

All I wanna do is get into your head.' Nathan sang, reaching for my head.

'Yeah we could stay alone, you and me, in this temptation

Sipping on your lips, hanging on by thread, baby.' I slowly circled him as I sang until I was back facing him again. 'Late night, watching television.'

'But how'd we get in this position?'

'It's way too soon, I know this isn't love

But I need to tell you something

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?' We jumped up and down, moving across the stage in seperate directions. 'Oh, did I say too much?

I'm so in my head

When we're out of touch (When we're out of touch)

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?'

We met in the middle again as I started the bridge. 'Who gave you eyes like that?

Said you could keep them?'

Nathan reached for my right hand, holding it gently in his and I tried not to act surprised, even though we hadn't done this in rehearsals. 'I don't know how to act

Or if I should be leaving.'

'I'm running out of time

Going out of my mind.' The lyrics seemed pretty true as I sang them. Why was my hand tingling in this as he held it?

'I need to tell you something

Yeah, I need to tell you something.' He sang into my eyes and I knew suddenly how all of the fangirls in the room felt.

I tried to act unphased, joining him again for the chorus. 'I really really really really really really like you.' He spun me around and I tried not to laugh as I continued to sing. 'And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

I really really really really really really like you.' We danced together, my hand still firmly in this. 'And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

Oh, did I say too much? (Did I say too much?)

I'm so in my head (I'm so in my head)

When we're out of touch (When we're out of touch!)

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?'

The song ended and we were closer together than we had been when we rehearsed. Nathan hugged me and kissed my cheek before turning back to face the crowd. 'The incredible Lucy May everybody.'

'Thank you.' I said with a smile and then I disappeared off the stage as my heart pumped quickly in my chest. What the hell had just happened?

'Luce, are you still awake?' Daisy whispered late that night when we were back in our twin room at the hotel.

'Yes.' I whispered back the reply. I wasn't sure I wanted to sleep. Sleep worried me. I never knew if I was going to have a good dream or a nightmare, and the latter scared me.

'Do you ever miss Ed?'

'Not as much as I used to.' I replied, turning to face her, although I could hardly see her face in the darkness. 'Do you miss Hunter?' They'd broken up at the beginning of the month and she'd been pretty miffed at the time, but hadn't explained what had happened. It left me feeling curious about the whole incident.

'I don't think I do. Is that bad?'

'Not at all.' I said, giving her a small smile. 'It means you're ready to move on.'

'Do you think you're ready to move on?' She asked and I was surprised that Nathan's face filled my mind when she asked the question.

'I'm not sure. I guess I won't know until something happens.'

The next day, we had breakfast downstairs with Nathan and his band, whilst the managers and rest of the team were elsewhere. The continental breakfast was delicious in our Four Star hotel and I was glad to get some food in me. I was starving.

'So what are the plans for today?' Daisy asked me and I simply just shrugged.

'I assumed we were exploring Paris.' Nathan replied. 'After all, it's on your bucket list, isn't it Lu?'

It was. But how did he know? 'Erm... yes.'

'Jake? Jesse? Are you in?'

'I've got plans.' Jesse replied, quickly, winking at one of Nathan's back-up singers. Of course he had.

'I'll come.' Jake shrugged. 'Be nice to see some of Paris, right?'

Knowing what the plans now were, we headed upstairs to get changed into something a little more Paris Chic. As I rooted through my suitcase, I glanced up in surprise at Daisy's outfit; a black dress with red flowers on it, lacey tights, ballet pumps and a red cardigan. It was very girly. And very unlike Daisy.

'Are you feeling okay?' I asked her, pulling out my black with the full skirt and the bow at the back.

'Yes, why?' She replied, puzzled, turning on her straightners and pulling her eyeliner out of her bag.

'You don't do floral usually.'

'I thought it was a cute dress.' She shrugged. 'Why? Does it not look okay?'

'It looks lovely.' I smiled. 'I'll just get changed.' I slipped into the bathroom, throwing on my dress, which made my waist look tiny. I quickly checked my make-up, which was fine, and ran some mousse through my natural curls, hoping I looked okay. I slipped on my black ballet pumps and a red cropped cardigan.

'You look lovely too.' Daisy told me with a smile as I grabbed my handbag. 'Trying to impress?'

'Trying to be chic.' I corrected with a wink. 'Now come on, let's go.'

The boys were already in the lobby downstairs by the time we were ready, and I noticed that they hadn't changed, not that they needed to. Nathan was wearing a black v-neck shirt, a grey jacket, black skinny jeans and boots, whereas Jake was dressed in a black and white striped t-shirt, leather jacket, jeans and converse.

'Are we off somewhere fancy?' Jake asked as we reached them.

'No, but it's Paris, one of the fashion capitals of the world!' Daisy replied, tutting at him.

'Paris Chic.' I added with a smile.

Jake rolled his eyes. 'Nate, what's with girls? I'll never get them.'

Nathan just smiled. 'Let's go.'

We started our day in Montemart, one of the neighbourhoods of Paris. As Nathan had been before, he was acting as our tourguide and he walked us up the hill after the car had dropped us off. Luckily, the sun was shining, so we walked through the crowds in our shades like 'normal' people, hoping we wouldn't be recognised. At the end of the cobbled street, we found ourselves at Sacré Coeur Basilica, the Sacred Heart of Paris. The white-domed building was a Roman Catholic Church often show in the guidebooks. We walked along the steps and then paused.

'Oh my.' I whispered, looking out at the incredible view of Paris in front of us, the Eiffel Tower rising from the buildings in the distance. With the clear view, you could see for miles.

'This is incredible!' Daisy squealed, pulling out her camera and snapping photos.

'It's so beautiful.' I said, still in disbelief. I wondered what it would be like to watch the sunset from up there, watching the sun disappear behind the city.

'I actually wrote a song up here.' Nathan said from beside me, a smile playing on his lips.

'Really?' I replied, surprised. 'Which one?'

'Listen to the Man.' He said. 'It's completely random, I know.'

'Well it's a pretty inspirational view. I could stay here all day.'

'Me too, but we've only got today to see the city.'

'What are we doing tomorrow then?'

'If I told you that I'd have to kill you.' He grinned. I looked down the steps, where Jake and Daisy were joking around together. Nathan followed my line of vision. 'If I didn't know any better, I'd say they're an item.'

'Oh, they've always been like this.' I replied as my bandmates posed for a picture together.

'They definitely like each other more than friends, Lu.' He said, nudging me gently with with arm. 'And we are in Paris, the most romantic city in the world. Who knows what will happen?'

We passed Moulin Rouge on our way down the hill, only stopping in the Red Light District for a quick photograph outside. Then, we caught the metro to the Arc de Triomphe, stopping for a few photos before deciding to walk up Avenue Kléber in the direction of the River Seine. I linked arms with Daisy, walking with her a couple of metres behind the guys so that I could find out what on earth was going on.

'So spill.' I said, coming out with it as we walked up the street, beside the tree-lined road.

'I have no idea what you're talking about.' She replied, her voice a higher-pitch than normal.

'Yes you do! You and Jake! Spill!'

She sighed. 'I should have told you.'

'You're right, you should have.'

'I guess I've always liked him as more than a friend, you know? And then he kissed me when I was with Hunter so Hunter and I broke up and now I just don't know what's going on.' She frowned. 'Guys are so confusing.'

'Tell me about it.' I sighed. 'We are far less complicated. Maybe we should just be lesbians? At least we'd understand who we were going out with then.'

'I think that's a good idea.'

At the end of the road, after a half an hour walk, we found ourselves at Palais de Chaillot, looking at the incredible Eiffel Tower. In somehow didn't look real as we stood there, looking up at it and I wondered if I was dreaming.

'We've got tickets to go up there in an hour and a half.' Nathan said with a smile. 'Shall we grab some lunch first? There's a great brasserie here that my mum used to take me to.'

'Sounds good.' I smiled and Daisy nodded in agreement.

We found ourselves sat on the terrace, on wicker chairs, watching the world go by in a perfectly Parisian cafe. The waitress came and took our drink orders, before returning to collect our orders for food. She started with me and suddenly I was glad I had a GCSE in French. I was actually not too bad at the language.

'Je voudrais le Croque Monsieur s'il vous plait.' I said to the waitress and she smiled, whilst everyone else at my table looked surprised. She took their orders too, Nathan ordering in French like I had, and then disappeared back inside the cafe.

'Parlez-vous français?' Nathan asked, sounding impressed.

I smiled. 'Un petit peu.'

He smiled and then laughed at the confused expressions our friends were giving us.

After eating and finishing our drinks, we headed straight back to Palais de Chaillot, snapping photos of the Eiffel tower. We walked through the open space of Jardins du Trocadéro, watching the fountains shooting into the air in front of the famous landmark. We all took off our sunglasses and snapped some photos together, using the selfie stick. Daisy and I posed together, spinning in circles and hugging each other, with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Then I snapped a few shots of her with Jake and couldn't help but think they would be a cute couple if one of them only did something about it. Then, Daisy decided that Nathan and I needed a photo. We stood side-by-side, his arm around my shoulders and Daisy tutted.

'You look like you hate each other.' She rolled her eyes. 'What happened to the friendliness in last night's performance?'

The more than friendliness, I wanted to correct her but decided not to.

'You want us to dance again?' Nathan asked, cheekily. 'Well if you insist.' He put one arm on my waist and took my left hand in the other, leading me in a dance. He twirled me and pulled me back in, his eyes looking deep into mine, as if he were looking into my soul. My heart fluttered as he pulled me closer.

'Much better!' Daisy called, interrupting us. 'Now let's go climb that tower!'

Nathan let go of me and I blushed, slipping my sunglasses on as we followed my bandmates across the bridge, over the River Seine. The Eiffel Tower gave us another beautiful view of the city and I took far too many photographs from each floor. The city was truly magical and I knew why Audrey Hepburn had famously said, 'Paris is always a good idea.' The day ended with a meal in the hotel restaurant and then we all headed up to bed for an early night, which I really needed after a long day.

After packing up my suitcase, I climbed into bed, flicking through the photos from the day. I looked at the ones Daisy had taken of Nathan and I dancing and they were natural and cute. I sighed. Was it because I was missing Ed? Was I trying to rebound? It didn't matter. We were just friends. I looked over at my red-headed band mate, realising she had a big grin on her face.

'What's up with you?' I laughed.

'Jake is taking me into the city tomorrow, just the two of us.' She smiled and I was happy for her. 'I hope it's a date.'

'It sounds like one.' I reassured her, and then I found myself asleep.

I was woken up early the next day by knocking on the door. I padded across the carpet, opening it to see that no one was there. Instead, there was a box with my name written on it. I carried it inside, placing it carefully on my bed. It was pretty heavy.

'What's going on?' Daisy mumbled.

'I'm not sure.' I replied, sitting on the bed with crossed legs.

'What's that?' Her eyes were open and she sat up in bed, looking at the box. 'Are you going to open it?'

I carefully opened the envelope stuck to the top, reading out the letter so that Daisy knew what it said. "Rise and shine! Sorry to wake you up early but we're off on an adventure. Meet me downstairs at 8am wearing these! Nate x"

'Oooh, exciting! What is it?!'

I opened the box carefully, moving the tissue paper, and I gasped as I held up the sequin Minnie Mouse Ears. And then I saw the shoes; white Vans decorated with The Little Mermaid and a shell pattern. They were adorable.

'You're going to Disneyland!' Daisy squealed, clapping her hands together. 'You have to be!'

'This is crazy!' I grinned like a child. 'What on earth am I going to wear?'

'Black skater skirt, tights and that red lace vest top you have. Oh, and your leather jacket. Now quick, go shower, you only have thirty minutes.'

I didn't hesitate to get ready. I showered quickly, glad that I'd washed my hair the night before. I applied some product to my curls and then moved onto make-up, applying my own subtle eyeshadow, winged eye-liner, mascara and no lipstick. I slipped on my shoes, tying them and tucking in the laces, whilst Daisy packed my small black satchel for me. 'How do I look?'

'Something's missing.' She winked, handing me my Minnie Mouse ears. I slipped them on and she smiled. 'Much better.'

Nathan was already in the lobby when I got there, wearing black skinny jeans, a black v-neck and a red baseball jacket. I looked down at his feet and realised he was also wearing Disney Vans, except his were grey with mickey mouse on them. 'Good morning.' He smiled. 'Nice ears.'

'Thanks, I found them outside my room this morning.'

'I'm glad the shoes fit.' He commented, signalling to my feet. 'Amanda told me your size.'

'That sneaky woman.' I tutted. I glanced over to see Matt standing awkwardly. 'Matt, are you coming to Disneyland too?'

'Afraid so.' He frowned, making me laugh.

'Now you can't make that face, it's the happiest place on earth!'

We caught the RER train to Disneyland from Paris and it took us 45mins, so we'd arrived by the time we'd eaten our pastries and drank our coffee from the patisserie next to the train station. Not wanting to cramp our style, Matt said in the row in front of us, playing on his tablet. I couldn't help feeling bad for him; he'd be assigned to keep me safe and that meant he had to go somewhere he really didn't want to go to. As soon as we got there, Nathan handed over my ticket and I struggled to contain my excitement as I used it to get through the automatic ticket barriers.

'Mr Jones, Miss May, welcome!' An employee said with a friendly smile as we walked into Guest Services. 'I hope you have a wonderful day with us. I have some VIP wristbands for you, so that you'll be able to skip all of the queues for the whole day.' She handed us each a wristband and then looked at my chunky security guard in his all-black, with an earpiece in his ear. 'Are you with them sir?'

'Yes, this is Matt, our security guard.' Nathan explained with a smile that made the woman all flustered. I ignored it, fixing my wristband tightly around my left wrist, as I'd decided to wear the support on my right one.

'In which case I will give you one as well sir.' The woman said with a smile, passing Matt the wristband. He clipped it around his chunky wrist and nodded. 'I hope you all have a wonderful day and let a cast member know if you need anything at all!'

Our adventure started on Main Street and we walked up it as a few faces turned our way. Unfortunately, the sun wasn't shining, which made it difficult to wear sunglasses without drawing attention to ourselves. Nevertheless, we smiled at people who recognised us and said hello, and they didn't ask for photos in return. Our first stop was Cinderella's castle, where we posed for a few pictures together, Matt being our personal photographer, and then we headed to Frontierland.

'Thank you so much for bringing me here.' I said to Nathan as we walked through the VIP entrance of Big Thunder Mountain. Matt had decided to leave us to it, so he was waiting outside, giving us some privacy (and holding my Minnie Mouse ears).

'You're welcome. You were saying you'd never been.' He said, shooting me the cute smile that had made the customer services lady get all flustered.

We reached the cast member by the carriages and she quickly checked our wristbands before letting us on the next available carriage. The handrail came down over our laps and the two girls in front of us turned around, looking at us with recognition. We just smiled in response and they turned back to face the front of the train as the ride started. We disappeared into a cave straight away and I was surprised by how many people screamed as we sped along. It wasn't that bad.

We spent the morning on the rides and then we headed to Auberge de Cendrillon. After filling up on food, we met the characters, posing with the Disney Princesses and a very flirtacious Gaston, before heading back for more rides. The day zoomed by and, before long, it was dark and time for the fireworks. We found ourselves a good spot to stand in, whilst Matt grabbed himself a drink in the nearby coffee shop. The air had cooled off, so I folded my arms, trying to keep myself warm as we waited for the show to start.

'Have you had a good day?' Nathan asked with a smile as the lights dimmed, only leaving the castle in light. Fairy dust lights decorated the castle and the crowd 'oooed'.

'It's been incredible, thank you.' I replied, returning the smile. Music filled the air; songs from the Lion King, Brave and all of the other Disney songs I could think of. Then, one of my favourites came on and I couldn't help singing along. 'All those days watching from the windows, all those years outside looking in, all that time never even knowing just how blind I've been.'

It changed to Flynn and I looked at Nathan in surprise as he sang along, 'now she's here, shining in the starlight, now she's here, suddenly I know. If she's here, it's crystal clear, I'm where I'm meant to go.'

I smiled as we sang together, 'And at last I see the light and it's like the fog has lifted, and at last I see the light and it's like the sky is new, and it's warm and real and bright, and the world has somehow shifted. All at once everything looks different now that I see you. Now that I see you.'

Fireworks exploded around us as our eyes were fixed to each other and he moved towards me, wrapping his arm around my waist.

'Oh my god! It's Nathan Jones and Lucy May!' A girl behind us gasped and I cursed, inwardly, as we looked in her direction. Way to kill a moment, kid.

Nathan's hand dropped from my waist and he gave me a small smile. 'Shall we get ready to go? I'd like to drop by the gift shop on the way out if that's okay?'

We stopped at the giftshop on Main Street to pick up a few souvenirs for our loved ones. I started by picking up a cuddly Stitch for Daisy, as I'd promised her I'd get her something. Then I grabbed an Eeyore for Leanne and a Pooh for Adriana, before grabbing a fridge magnet for my parents (they collected them) and some Minnie Mouse ears to send over to Willow. I chose myself a hoodie and then I decided I would get something for Nathan as a 'thank you' gift. I opted for a Mickey Mouse, because Mickey was almost the king of Disney. I paid at the cashier and waited outside for Nathan, uploading the photo of our Disney shoes to Instagram with the caption:

Guess where nathanjones and I have been today!

'Sorry you've had a dull day.' I said to Matt as he passed me the coffee he'd picked up for me.

He shrugged. 'It's been alright. I went on a few rides. Did you have a good day?'

'Yes.' I smiled.

'Good. Is he nearly done in there because our car's outside ready to take us to the hotel.'

We were quiet en route to our hotel. Because of our early flight, we were staying in a hotel next to the airport, so it was about a forty minute drive away. We got there in silence and Matt immediately disappeared off to bed, whilst we found out from reception where our rooms were for the night. Nathan, being the gentleman he was, walked me to my door.

'Thank you again for a magical day.' I said with a shy smile. 'I got you something, but don't look until you're in your room.' I passed him a bag.

'You didn't have to do that, thank you. I got you something to.' In return, he passed me a bag. 'Sleep well and I'll see you in the morning?'

'Sure.' He leaned towards me, planting a gentle kiss on my forehead and then he was gone. I carefully opened the door to my room and slipped inside, closing the door behind me. Daisy was sat up in bed, watching Friends, except they were speaking French. 'Did you have a good day?' I asked her, sitting down on the empty bed.

Her face lit up and she smiled, broadly, at me. 'It was wonderful. We went on a cruise along the Seine and had dinner and we... kissed.'

'Great news!' I grinned, genuinely pleased for her. 'So are you two an item now?'

'I guess?' She said, confused and I laughed. 'How was your day?'

'Amazing, though I'm knackered now.'

'And you and Nate?'

'Just friends.' I said with a smile. 'Oh, I got you something.' I passed her the cuddly Stitch I'd bought her.

'Thank you!' She grinned, looking at the other bags. 'You look like you've bought half of Disneyland.'

'Souvenirs for friends and family.' I replied, packing the bag into my suitcase. 'And then Nathan gave me this.'

'What's inside?' I looked inside at laughed in disbelief, pulling out the cuddly Minnie Mouse toy. 'What's so funny?' She asked, looking puzzled.

I shook my head, a smile on my face. 'Nothing.'

My alarm woke me up at 5.30am and I showered and dressed like a zombie, throwing on my jeans, a tank top and my Disneyland hoodie and Little Mermaid shoes. Daisy and I didn't say anything to each other as we both, still half-asleep, made our way downstairs to meet everyone else. Nathan's team had flown out the day before to get the arena set up, so it was only me, my band, Matt, Nathan and our managers left.

'Right, let's roll.' Nathan's manager said, ushering us out of the door as soon as we'd got our things together.

At the airport, we checked in, went through security and then grabbed some breakfast-to-go, before heading straight for the boarding lounge. I looked at my boarding pass, reading the unfamiliar company in the top right corner, whilst I tucked into my bacon sandwich.

'See you've brought Minnie with you.' Nathan smiled, sitting down beside me, nodding at the Minnie Mouse soft toy, whose head was sticking out of my over-sized handbag.

'And you, Mickey.' I laughed, glancing at Mickey Mouse's head sticking out of his rucsack. 'Great minds think alike, hmm?'

'Absolutely.' He nodded.

'So who are we flying with?' I asked, holding up the ticket.

'I'm afraid I can't tell you that, it will ruin the fun.' He replied with a playful grin. He looked over to where Jake and Daisy were sat, his arm draped comfortably over her shoulder and they were laughing at something. 'Take it their date went well then?'

'It did.' I smiled, looking over at them. They were a cute couple. 'Though she isn't quite sure if they're a couple or not.'

'Oh they definitely are.'

'Right, the plane's ready.' Eric boomed, clapping his hands together. He picked up his luggage and headed towards the member of staff, who checked his passport.

I stood up, throwing my handbag over my shoulder, following Jesse through the gates. He looked a little lost by himself, and he didn't seem to be impressed with the Jake/Daisy situation. I put it down to jealousy that our bandmates were happy and he was not. My passport was quickly checked and then passed back to me as we walked out of the airport doors into the cool morning air. I glanced around at the parked planes, all of which were small and looked like private jets.

'Where's our plane?' I asked Nathan, a confused expression on my face.

'Erm, it's that one.' He pointed at a small, white jet with a few windows, a red tail and red tips on the wings.

My eyes widened. 'You have your own private jet?!'

'Oh no, it's the label's jet, not mine.' He smiled. 'But they hired it out for the tour to make getting around a lot easier.' I was sure, though, that he probably had enough cash to buy his own plane.

'So freakin' cool!' Daisy squealed as we walked on over to it, climbing the stairs to get inside.

Inside, the plane had cream walls and a black patterned carpet, with eight cream leather chairs, grouped into two groups of four, with black fold-out tables in between. We each took a seat and the member of staff quickly checked that we were all strapped in before take-off.

'Welcome aboard.' She said, more to Nathan than to anyone else. Not that I was surprised. Even in jeans and a hoodie, with bed hair, he still looked gorgeous. I shook my head, reminding myself not to think of anything inappropriate. 'We have Wifi on board so feel free to use that when we're cruising. Flight time is two and a half hours so let me know if you need anything at all.'

'Thank you.' Nathan said with a smile.

The take-off was quick and my ears popped, making me wince. When we were finally in the air, I looked out at the land below with a smile. Paris had been wonderful. I just hoped that the rest of the tour would be too.
