Laughing, we turned, and Jason took his phone from his jeans pocket. We pressed our cheeks together as he raised his arm, making sure we were perfectly in the shot before snapping the photo.
“First tour selfie done,” he said. “Mind if I tweet this later?”
I shook my head. “Not at all. As long as I don’t get trolled by jealous fangirls.”
“You won’t. They know you now like they know Ellie. You’re part of the Razes Hell family.”
That was true. Ellie and I had been in so many band photos we were old news. I’d never been in a shot with just Jason, though. Often they were of all of us at a gig, helping to set up or just generally messing around.
“That’s a pretty cool place to be,” I said as Jason tucked his phone away and made our way back to the hotel.
The walk seemed to take forever because Jason and I kept stopping to look at the views, to marvel at the city, and we may have stopped off for a beer in a bar close to the hotel. It was close to midnight when we reached my room, both of us still laughing over some of the things we’d seen on the way.
“Thanks for an excellent couple of hours, Lucy. I’m looking forward to more evenings like this.”
“Me too. That was a lot of fun. And we get to go back again tomorrow.”
“Looking forward to it.”
I slipped my arms around Jason’s waist and gave him a hug. As he wrapped his arms around me, he kissed the top of my head. “Goodnight, Luce.”
“Night, Jason.”
I was on top of the world—higher than the Eiffel Tower—as I threw myself down on my bed.Thatwas a night to remember. I heard my phone beep in my pocket and pulled it out, laughing at all the notifications on the screen.
There was a long list of tweets since Jason shared our selfie. Some of the replies were hilarious, but more were friendly and sweet.
@OfficialJasonBrooks @luluhayesAww, have fun, guys!
@luluhayesWill you be climbing @OfficialJasonBrooks’ tower tonight? ;) LOL!
@OfficialJasonBrooks @luluhayesGet in there, my son!
@OfficialJasonBrooks @luluhayesEnjoy Paris! See you in Vienna!
@luluhayesYou’re so lucky to be in Paris with @OfficialJasonBrooks! Enjoy!
There were over seventy replies, and I favorited a few as I scrolled through.
Razes Hell was lucky. They didn’t really get jealous fans who tweeted shitty comments. They had their share of fangirls, but they weren’t as obsessive as the Directioners or the Beliebers. Urgh. Did knowing those terms make me a loser? Were there still Beliebers?
When I was done reading, I placed my phone beside me and let out a happy sigh. The tour was off to an excellent start, and there was so much more to come.

Iwas right.
The Eiffel Tower was definitely still magical in daylight. Going back with the whole band was fun, and even though we had to get in a long line with what looked like a million other tourists, it was worth it. The views over Paris from the top were magnificent. My breath was stolen again as I turned around, taking in every angle of the beauty. More selfies were taken, and I truly didn’t think I could be any happier.
This is just day one.
Day. One.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t spend the whole day exploring Paris because we had to head to our first gig venue in the afternoon to set up and sound check.
Clubs in Paris were very much like clubs in the UK. Or at least, the first venue the band played was—a darkish room with brick walls, giving it a cold, underground feel. The stage was a good size, and the dressing room was tiny with a tile floor, adding to the coldness. There was a toilet, an ancient shower, and a mini refrigerator full of cold water.
