they’re just Drew and Jason. The Razes Hell members are just people I know. And I know I’m lucky.
    Right now is day one of a very long tour, and although the morning is barely over, I’m travelling to Bristol with four snoring rock stars. I know for sure one of them wasn’t out partying all night… although, for all I know, he could have been saying a very long, very physical goodbye to my sister. At least they were quiet about it, though! Mack was probably doing the same thing with his woman. Not sure about Joey. Jason? I’m pretty sure he wasn’t partying so I’m not sure what his excuse is…
    It occurred to me that my ramblings weren’t quite the epic writings I’d planned, but it was early days yet. Things would get re-written, thrown out, scribbled on and screamed at before the journal was truly finalised.
    Jason’s foot gently nudged against mine and I looked up to see him slowly raising his head and blinking. “What the hell? Was I asleep?”
    Laughing as he rubbed at his forehead, I nodded. “Very, very asleep.”
    “Fuck.” He stretched his arms forward as far as he could without hitting me then rested his hands on the table. “You sure you can handle us party boys on this trip?”
    “You know, I was just wondering the same thing. It’ll be a struggle but I’ll do my best.”
    He smiled. “Sorry, Luce. I’ll try to stay awake and keep you company.”
    “It’s fine. I was writing anyway.”
    Jason nodded towards the A4 hardcover notebook in my hands. “What are you writing about?”
    “This. The tour. The things that happen, or things I’m thinking about.”
    “Like a diary?”
    My cheeks burned. “Don’t say it like that. I’m not a little girl writing about my hopes and dreams, and wishing for a handsome prince and a shiny new pony.”
    “I didn’t mean it that way.” Jason leaned forward a little, shuffling in his seat. He didn’t laugh at me, and maybe I’d jumped to conclusions at the word “diary”. Diary makes me think of children scribbling their future husband’s surname surrounded by pink hearts, and complaining about who pushed in front of them in the dinner queue at school. “I think it’s cool that you want to keep a record of the tour. The only way we keep track of it is through tabloid headlines. It’ll be a nice change to have someone writing something real.”
    When he smiled again, I relaxed and smiled back at him. “Thanks.”
    He watched me closely for a moment then stood up, pulling his rucksack from the overhead storage compartment. He placed it on the table and rummaged inside until he pulled out his own A4 hardcover notebook.
    “Is that a journal too?” I asked, eyeing him suspiciously, and he laughed.
    “No. This is where I write my songs. Well, mostly. Sometimes they end up getting written on a napkin or something, if I have a good idea and I don’t have this with me.”
    “I thought writers were told to always carry a notebook with them.”
    He nodded. “They are. In reality, it’s bullshit. Nobody really does that.”
    I knew this to be true. Not that I was really a writer in the same way Jason was. I wasn’t the kind who had a random flash of inspiration and needed to write it down immediately. That was something I linked more to authors, or poets, or musicians. My kind of writing happened when I felt like it. I could hold memories in my mind in vivid detail until it was time to write them down – I had no idea if this was normal. The problem was, I knew I wouldn’t remember the details forever, which was the whole point of the journal.
    “Is there anything in there I can have a look at?” I asked, tapping the cover of Jason’s book.
    “There’s not much in there. A few lines I jotted down, but they haven’t turned into anything yet.” He tilted his chin, gesturing towards my book. “Anything in there I can have a look at?”
    My jaw dropped. “No! I mean, there’s not much in here either, but this is different. Eventually my
