*Chapter 18*

David was talking to Urs and Carlos at the sound check for the show that night. Seb was there, but keeping to himself like he had been since they had been back. "Have you heard from Auds today Urs, is she coming back soon?" asked David. Urs stared at him and said "I talked to her last night and she didn't know when she was coming back. Why are you so interested anyway, she's my girlfriend, not yours.” David and Carlos both stared at him and David went to speak when Carlos said "Don’t, we have enough problems with Sebastien without you two falling out as well. Urs, there was no need to speak like that, say you're sorry." Urs looked down at the ground then lifting his head said "I'm sorry, I really don't know what’s wrong with me, i kept blowing up at Auds as well before she left." Janice came up behind them then and said "Steve is looking for you guys, needs to talk to you about tonight’s show." then she kissed David and said something in his ear. He grinned and nodded his head then kissed her back. They went off to find Steve who was on the stage, he told them what he had to then they were free to go until the performance. They did the show later and although it looked to the crowd that Seb was just his usual self, the guys could tell that he wasn't right, he was just slightly off form. They tried talking to him on the way back to the hotel, but he just kept saying he was just tired and went straight to his room when they got back. The others didn't stay up either and just went straight to their rooms too.

Auds and Sonia landed around lunchtime the next day and found Steve waiting for them. He seemed surprised to see Sonia. "Hey Sonia, this is a nice surprise, are you going to be staying long?" Sonia looked at Auds who said "Its only Simon who knew the whole story." Then she said to Steve "Sonia is going to be travelling with us all the time now, she's given up her job to be with Seb. That’s what’s been wrong with him." Steve looked confused so Auds said "I'll tell you all about it in the car, but right now i just want to get Sonia to Seb." They set off then and are soon back at the hotel, the girls thank Steve then head off, going straight to Seb's room. Auds knocked on his door while Sonia stayed back out of sight. He opens the door and smiles when he see's Auds standing there. He hugs her and say's "Auds, you're back, when did you get here?" Auds looked at him taking in the unshaven face and dark rings round the eyes and said "I just got here and came to check on you and to give you your present." He looked puzzled and said "You bought me a present?" Auds smiled and said "I thought you could do with this." She looked to her side and motioned for Sonia to come forward. Auds moved to the side so that she could stand in front of him. When he saw her his eyes grew large and he said "Sonia." He seemed to be frozen to the spot until she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. He pulled away and looked at her then at Auds and said "How?" Auds smiled at him and said "I went to Paris to tell Sonia how bad you were, please don't kill me Seb, but she had to know. I never went to London at all." Seb smiled at Auds then said "Thank you Auds." Auds smiled back and said "You haven't heard the best yet, i'll let Sonia tell you that." then grinned and left them to it.

She went to her and Urs room and discovered she couldn't get in, she knocked on the door so Urs could let her in, but he never answered. She wondered if he was off having lunch with the others, so went down to the dining room to check if they were there, but they weren't. She went into the bar and ordered a drink then sent Urs a message asking what he was doing. She got a reply straight away saying that he was out with David, Carlos and Janice. They had hired a car to try and get Seb out but he wouldn't go, so had just gone without him. Auds smiled to herself and then sent one back saying ‘Okay, enjoy yourself and i'll see you when you get back‘. Seconds later her phone rang and she grinned. She answered it with a "Hello." Then she heard Urs say "Are you back at the hotel?" "Yeah, i'm in the bar as i couldn't get into the room. I brought Sonia back with me as well." She could hear silence as he was obviously trying to figure out how she could have brought Sonia back from London. She said "I'll tell you all about it when i see you, but i did it for Seb, I think you'll find that he'll be back to normal soon." "Okay, we're just coming back, i'll see you in about an hour." he said then added. "I missed you Auds." Auds smiled and said "Yeah, me too hun." then hung up. She took out her laptop and started to see what the guys had on for the rest of the week then she sent a quick email to Simon telling how she had got on and that things should be okay with Seb now. Then she decided to check out the guys forum, she hadn't been on it for a while and it would be interesting to see how the fans were thinking of the tour so far. She was still on there, answering pm's from girls she used to talk to wondering where she had gone, reading some of the fan fictions and talking in the Den, wondering what the girls would think if she told them where she was and that she was going out with the guy they were all drooling over, when the guys appeared in the bar. She didn't see them come in so she jumped when Urs wrapped his arms round her from behind. She turned round and smiled at them all then kissed Urs. They all sat down beside her and Auds shut down her computer then told them all about Seb and how she had gone to get Sonia instead of going to London.

She turned to Urs and said "I'm sorry that i lied to you, to you all, but Seb didn't want me to tell you anything and i respected his wishes. I spoke to Simon to get advice, but Seb knew i was going to do that. He suggested telling Sonia and i just made the decision to go to talk to her in person." She looked at Urs who had gone really quiet and said "Are you okay babe?" He looked at her and said "All this time, i was being so horrible to you and you were only helping out one of my friends. I'm really sorry Auds, i think i was just jealous of all the time you were spending with him and when you wouldn't tell me anything it made me mad." he turned to David and said "I'm sorry Dave, i took it out on you as well and you didn't deserve that." David shook his head and said "Don't worry about it, i knew you didn't really mean what you were saying." Urs smiled at him and said "Thanks Mate." He turned back to Auds who said "You're right, you were horrible to me and i put up with it to begin with, but after a while I'd had enough and was actually glad to go to Paris and get away from you. It had got to the point where i hadn't wanted to tell you anything because you got mad about it. You were acting like a child and i didn't like it." She stood up and taking their room key off him walked off leaving her bags behind. Urs stared after her and then he got up and followed her. Carlos grinned and said "I think he's going to have to do something special to make it up to her." David and Janice agreed. "Well, it looks like we have an afternoon to waste, any ideas?" said Carlos. David looked at Janice who grinned and whispered something in his ear. He grinned back and said "Sorry man, got to go, see you later." and him and Janice got up and headed for their room. Carlos sighed, he looked at all the bags Auds had left lying and picking them all up he headed for his room as well.

Back in Seb's room he was still trying to understand how Sonia was here with him. "You can't be mad at Auds for telling me Seb, she was only looking out for you and i'm glad she did, because if she hadn't i wouldn't have realised that i missed you almost as much." Seb put his arms round her and said "I'm not mad at Auds, but i can't believe you gave up your whole career for me, you love working at the hospital with the kids." Sonia nodded and said "Yes, I did, but like i said to Auds, when i heard how bad you sounded on the phone last night, i realised that i loved you so much more and that i only want to be with you." Seb grinned and said "I can't believe that you're really here and not going to be leaving me again." then he kissed her and said "mmm, still not sure" and kissed her again deepening it as her arms went round his neck and into his hair. He picked her up and laid her back down on the bed and pulled his shirt and jeans off. He knelt over her and slowly started to unbutton her shirt. He pushed it off her shoulders and then placing soft kisses all along her shoulders and neck showed her just how much he had been missing her.

Later on at the sound check for the show that night everyone was delighted to see that Seb was back to his usual happy self and was joining in with the conversations and fun and Sonia met Janice who although they had both been going with their guys for ages had never actually met each other before. Not everything was alright though as Auds was still refusing to forgive Urs for his behaviour and was hardly even talking to him. He came over to stand beside them all and said "I've got an idea to win Auds over, but i'll need you guys to help me do it." They listened as he told them what the plan was and David, Carlos and Seb all agreed to it and said it was fine by them while Janice and Sonia thought it was a lovely idea which was sure to make Auds forgive him. They agreed to do it the next night as there wasn't time to get it ready for that night.
