The Tour Life Of Adriana Perry
Reunited
I woke up what seemed like moments later, in a white room. The smell told me it was a hospital. Why was I in a hospital? I moved my hand a little, it hitting someone. I looked over to see Jaime there. I tapped him gently, him waking up instantly. “What happened?”
“You passed out in the shower. Ben found you, the doctors believe it was caused through you being spiked, dehydration and extreme tiredness.” he explained. I let out a groan. “They've rehydrated you, flushed whatever it was out your system. You'll be back with us sometime today.” I praised the lord, I just wanted this tour to finish already. It was extremely tiring, but my habits with the alcohol weren't helping.
It wasn't long till a doctor came in to check on me. “I'll get your discharge papers, stay away from any alcohol for the next 7 days. Keep hydrated and rest plenty.” I snorted a little at the instructions, clearly this guy had never been on a tour with rock bands. “When you're ready, you can leave.” With that he left. I told Jaime to leave while I got dressed. I rolled my eyes as I saw what they had brought me. Walking into the bathroom, I changed and sorted out my smudged make up to make me look somewhat decent when leaving. I gathered up my stuff once done and went out.
Everyone jumped up, all of them hugging me at once. They all let go, but James. He sort of glued himself to my side. Everyone giving us weird looks. “Are we missing something?”
“Me and James finally got together.” I grinned. Danny and Ben high fived each other. My uncles smiled and shrugged.
“Cameron! Pay up, they got together.” called Sam down the corridor to where Cam had wandered off to. I couldn't help but laugh. My uncles pulled us to one side before the doctor returned.
“If you hurt her or anything of the sort, we will have that dick of yours on a platter.” Vic spoke first.
“If by chance she ever falls pregnant and you don't stick around, I'll have your balls for dinner.” Jaime spoke, I was trying to hold back a laugh.
“If you don't protect her like your own life depends on it, I'll kill you.” Mike was the most serious one of them all. James assured them he'd look after me. They all nodded before shaking hands with him and giving me a hug. Was that their approval? It must of been. By now the doctor had arrived with my papers and we all left. When we got outside I was attacked by Hannah and Frances. I've never seen people so caring about me. When they eventually let go of me, we walked back to the buses. You could spot them from the hospital entrance. 2 big buses, followed by several mini vans.
When we got to the buses, I spotted Kellin there. Sprawled out on his back, Austin and Alan were holding Oli back. I looked over at Hannah who just shrugged. Kellin spotted me, scrambling to his feet. He smoothed himself down before making his way over to me. James pushed me behind him, I stayed back with my uncles while the AA stood in front of me. I was a little nervous at what might happen. I noticed James' fists clenched at the side of him.
“What do you want?” I spoke up from behind everyone, I managed to squeeze my way through, signalling for them to 'stand down' as such. They all walked off apart from Frances and James.
“I had to do this, you wouldn't listen to me the other day.” his voice cautious.
“Well spit it out then.” I spotted Hannah coming back off my bus. My daughter walking beside her. My jaw dropped. As soon as she saw me, she came running over and jumping into my arms. “What?”
“Dylan got arrested, she was going to end up in care. I had no other choice but to bring her to you.” I smiled at him. He actually saved my little girl from a rubbish life.
“Thank you.” With a small nod and a smile he went off somewhere. I bounced my daughter on my hip, with a huge smile on my face. “I missed you baby.”
“I miss you too mommy.” Her small arms went round my neck and she gave me a big hug. I untangled her from me and walked onto our bus with her toddling beside me. She looked nervous as she saw the others, clinging onto me. “Mommy? Who are them?” She pointed at the people she didn't know.
“These are mommy's friend. That's Ben, Danny, Cameron, Sam.” I turned around, pointing at James. “And that is mommy's boyfriend.” He bent down in front of her, flashing her a smile. She gave him a hug, before running off somewhere onto the bus. Everyone sat down. “Fran, can you watch her? I need to talk to the boys.”
With that she went to the back of the bus where Bianca ran off. “No more parties. No more getting drunk, no more of anything that's bad or harmful to her.” I heard them protest quietly. “Do you understand? I'm sorry but she comes first.” They all slowly nodded. I gave them a thumbs up, heading into the back of the bus. She was sat on the bed in the back room, I smiled as I watched her giggling while playing with a few things.
“She's beautiful.” James said behind me. I nodded before joining her on the bed. James soon joined us and Frances left us alone. We sat there messing with my little girl, I couldn't help but smile to myself. Was this my life finally taking a good turn? A flash made me look up, Mike was stood there with his phone. Grinning at us. “Mommy, I'm hungry!”
“Come on, we'll go see if we have a chocolate.” She clapped her hands happily before running off down the bus again. “She likes you.” I stated to James, before following her. I looked through the fridge. One chocolate bar left with the name 'Ben' written across it. I grabbed it. “Sit at the table sweetheart.” She did as she was told, I opened the packet and broke her some off.
“That better no--Oh never mind.” I gave him a look that said 'she can have what she wants'. I handed her the rest of it, sitting beside her. I loved how happy she was, sat there giggling along to herself. I heard James talking to Sam, the conversation was something he probably didn't want me to hear. I sat there smiling as I heard him. “Uncle Ben's chocolate is yummy.” My head snapped towards my little girl, Ben's head shot up as well.
“Sweetie, Ben isn'--”
“Mommy, he is. He gave me the chocolate.” she grinned at me. Well here's to extended family, I thought to myself.

We arrived at the next venue, I grabbed a few things while James saw to Bianca. I smiled to myself as I watched him. He'd make a great dad. I sighed at that thought. Seeing him like that, really made me want to have a kid with him. But he wouldn't possibly be ready for his own, I don't even know if I was ready for another. “Oh Ben? Can you switch bunks? I want Bianca on the ground one.”
“Sure.” His gaze followed mine. “He'd make a good daddy won't he?” I nodded, letting out another sigh. Ben put his hand on my shoulder. I think he knew what I was thinking about with the sigh I just released. Then a thought popped in my head. I hadn't had my period this month. I shrugged it off before heading out with my little girl in between me and James, holding both of our hands.
We got inside, I took Bianca with me while James did what he always did before a show. Have a few drinks and mess around. I sat myself in another dressing room. After we got settled into the dressing room, there were 3 knocks on the door and in came James. “I have something for you little 'un.”
“Mommy, can I have it?” she beamed at me. I nodded and she turned and stood in front of James. He pulled out a big tub of candy. My jaw dropped. Did he really just do that? While Bianca situated herself at the dresser, eagerly searching through her sweets James motioned for me to step outside. I did just that.
“If we want to make a proper go of us two, I say we start now. When we get back to America, I want you to move in with me. Both of you.” My eyes widened. Holy smokes. He actually wants to be a part of her life. “I mean, that's if, you know, want to.”
“Let me ask what she wants first.” He nodded as I went back inside. He stayed outside while I talked to her. I explained briefly the situation to her. For a 4 year old I was surprised at how well she understood things. “Is that a yeah?” She nodded quickly. “That's my girl.” I smiled at her. I called James into the room and told him the news. With a quick kiss to my forehead he left.

“Will you all please just hush for a second?” I spoke into the mic. “I have someone I want to bring onto stage and sing to. So please, keep it down guys!” I motioned for my little to come on stage. She instantly ran to my arms, giving me a hug as tightly as a a four year old could. I stood back up, holding onto her hand. Vic played the acoustic for Hold On Till May. I stood there, singing my heart out.
After I finished the song, I picked up Bianca. Holding onto her, I said my goodbyes. I put the microphone near her mouth and she said goodbye as well. I walked off stage with her, straight back to the dressing room. I got all our stuff together and headed out the venue. I caught our manager outside. “Let the guys know I've gone back.”
“Night Ads, night little one.” Bianca waved over my shoulder to him as I held in in my arms as we walked.
“Can I stay up for Uncle Hime?” I shook my head, she stuck her lip out at me. “Pwease mommy?”
“I'll send him in when he comes back.” I kissed her forehead, getting her ready for bed then into bed. “Sweet dreams, mommy loves you.” She soon fell asleep. I got my situated on the sofa. The peace and quiet was soothing. It wasn't long till you could hear the guys coming back. They all entered the bus quietly, which I was thankful for.
“I'm going to bed. Night guys.” I waved them off and headed to the back room.
This was it. My life was back on track.
“You passed out in the shower. Ben found you, the doctors believe it was caused through you being spiked, dehydration and extreme tiredness.” he explained.
