Hi guys and happy Wednesday!

Idk if any of you read my conversations tab but I managed to finish the piece of work I was talking about in last weeks' chapter before I posted the story part (yay) so with that said, I'll be posting every Wednesday as scheduled :3

Secondly, I managed to write all but one scene of next week's chapter and start the chapter following it, so yup, definitely still on track. I'm not sure if I'll have the book finished by New Year's but that's the plan 😅

This chapter includes the second half of tour for this book (there will be another one in the next book) but I hope you all enjoy it :)

WARNINGS: Language

Chapter Song: Friday I'm In Love - The Cure

Additional Note: Evra's songs in this chapter are based on the songs I'm covering in an album for/about Aryia. I also included Aryia's song Cigarette but edited it to be Evra's song because in this version of the timeline, she is the one who made it (about Aryia) :3

Surprisingly to Shreya – yet unsurprisingly to us – the second half of our second headlining tour was as chaotic as the first half.

The show in Colorado had been perfect and we'd ended up on a fan's vlog during the performance and our meet and greet, and our show in Vegas had been fun from how we'd met up with Sam and Colby, introducing them to the boys from The Seafloor Cinema and Shreya while Colby made us acquainted with his girlfriend Malia.

It was the first time we'd met his new girlfriend, although I had to admit that I still shipped him with Katia more. Aryia and I had always joked about breaking up Colby and Katia from their current partners, but part of me had always been serious. I still didn't trust Jack after what had happened between me and his best friend and how much of an insufferable jackass he and his best friend were, and despite how nice Malia was to us, Colby and Katia still sounded like a match made in heaven to me.

Colby and Malia had taken us out to their favorite local ramen restaurant that night with Sam. Shreya had actually wanted to eat there when we offered to bring her with us on tour for the sake of her business and trading con in Texas, and despite my inhibitions for bringing her along before, we were starting to get along a lot better now.

Eating ramen with Aryia always reminded me of before our last tour, so I decided to bring it up to our table.

"Are you ordering the same thing as back then?" Our tour companion asked, making me nod.

"Definitely. Miso cha shu is great!" I smiled. "I'm gonna get it with a Coke though, it's more edible that way compared to with water."

"Is that the real reason why you were throwing up in the bathroom?" Aryia asked, making me blush.

"Maybe. But I was pregnant with Levi at the time. And those 9 months did weird things to my taste buds."

"Yeah, you were eating mustard on pizza and pickles." Aryia smiled. I saw Colby shiver at the mention of his least favorite food but luckily they didn't sell them as toppings here, so he was safe.

"True."

"Do you still like them, Evra?" Jason asked.

I shrugged. "They're growing on me."

"I guess Levi changed more than your family dynamic, huh." Sam guessed.

"I guess." I shrugged in agreement. "Anyway, what's everyone else ordering?"

"Miso cha shu." Nick, Shreya, Sam and 6 all said together.

"Whatever the vegan alternative is." Our bassist laughed.
