Vanessa's point of view

"Hi." I said as I sat down beside Michael and Ashton. "How are you today sir, I haven't seen you in a minute." I said and looked at Ashton.

"Amazing." He said and laughed. "How have you been young lady?" He asked me.

"Fantastic." I said and Calum chuckled. Ashton looked over at him and then he looked at me. "We went to Miranda's quince and the DJ played my mashup, I don't know how he got it, and I got to dance with Miranda and Calum was forced to dance with some other girls. It was cool."

"Yeah? I saw pictures on twitter. It looked like fun." He said and the others agreed. "As for the mashup, Michael, explain."

"May or may not have sent it out on twitter..." He said and I laughed as I shrugged. "It's was good okay! I liked it!"

"Can you be any louder?" Luke asked and Michael screamed. "Shut up Michael, stop yelling."

"Make me."

"Boy-"

"Kinky." Calum said and I wiggled my eyebrows, causing them all the laugh. "Bye, that was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen and I've seen Michael naked."

"Don't gang up on me, we all know Ashton and his hairy chest is scary too!" Michael protested.

"At least I got hair on my chest!"

"I do too!" Michael said and lifted his shirt up.

"Oh woah there." I said and covered my eyes as Calum laughed. "Don't do that. I wasn't mentally prepared to see nude upper bodies."

"No one is ever mentally prepared, even if you've known them for years." Ashton said and then grabbed my laptop off of the table. "Are we going to do this live stream or not?"

"Luke's hungover." Calum said and I nodded. "Get that ass over here Hemmo."

"Fuck off." Luke grumbled as he sat down. "Assholes all of you."

"What-"

"Not you." He said and I smiled as Ashton went on some app.

"Aww it's like the old times, shitty live streams with lots of yelling. Aww I miss that." I said and Michael laughed as he nodded.

"Before we hit puberty."

"Oh my god puberty." I said in a high pitched voice and Ashton covered my mouth. Calum laughed loudly and Luke chuckled.

"I hate you Vanessa," Calum said and I rolled my eyes at him as Ashton rook his hand off of my mouth.

"I hate you too Calum, I'm a Michael girl anyways." I scoffed and he shook his head.

"Hell yeah." He said and we high-fived. I stuck my tongue out at them and then sat up besides Michael. "Pimpin'." He said as he put an arm over my shoulder.

"The only think 'pimp' about you is the pimple on your damn forehead." Luke said. "Leave my daughter alone Clifford."

"Daughter?"

"Damn Michael, better run." Ashton said and I looked at Luke, who was staring at Michael with a glare. "You're dead."

"I'll go." I said and stood up as Ashton finally got the camera to work. He sat me back down and I rolled my eyes.

"It's starting!" Calum said and Michael yelled as comments appeared on the bottom from fans. Some where asking for a shout out, some asking to be noticed, most were asking about me.

"I feel awkward." I said and Luke agreed with me as he drank his coffee. Ashton looked up from his phone and smiled.

"Hi guys, it's us, 5sos." He said and Luke scoffed. "Hey, be nice." He told Luke.

"Of course it's us, who else is it gonna be? One Direction?" Luke asked Ashton and I rose an eyebrow at Michael, who just shrugged.

I yawned and the whole band commented on it. I blushed and then grumbled as I crossed my arms. "It is not cute."

"It is." Luke said and they asked if I was dating any of them. "Ha!" Luke said and covered his mouth as he laughed. "No!" He said and threw his he'd back.

"She's not dating us, she's like twelve, please. That's illegal." Ashton said and Michael agreed. I nodded and tried my best not to glance at Calum because this fanbase was smarter than you'd think.

Trust me, I'm apart of it.

"We are dating people who are legal, don't worry." Luke said and laughed. "Bryana is twenty-three, Arzaylea is twenty-one." He confronted and the comments went absolutely crazy.

"Hey, be nice!" I said and Michael looked at the screen. "She's nice. She's not a hag, don't say that. Like-Like would you want someone to call your girlfriend or boyfriend something bad? No? Then don't do it. We don't do that."

"Aww." Ashton said and hugged me. "You're sweet." He told me and I smiled.

"I'm just a decent person, that's all." I said and he let go of me. "Bryana is literally queen though, she's so seeet. Arzaylea too, like... what even is there to hate about them?" I asked and comments flooded in.

'WHO THE HELL IS THE GIRL'

'WHY IS SHE THERE'

'SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING'

'IS SHE DUMB'

'Arzaylea wore a razor necklace????? That's a reason to hate her????'

"There's a legit reason you could probably dislike someone for." I said and nodded. "Razor blade necklace, very triggering and very dangerous, never do that." I said and nodded.

"She didn't leak pictures." Luke said said and chuckled. "If I truly didn't want those pictures out, she wouldn't have done it. She respects my privacy and I respect hers."

"Luke sounds so grown up now! She respects my privacy and I respect hers." Michael mimicked and Calum laughed, throwing his arm over Luke's shoulders.

Luke laughed and then drank some of his coffee. I read the comments and it seems they were more focused on me than the boys' girlfriends.

"You never told us you were dating Bry." Calum said and Ashton shrugged, saying it really wasn't that big of a deal. "Anyways!" He said and Ashton nodded.

"This little nugget is Vanessa Lucinda." Ashton said and I waved. "We call her Nessa though, some call her nutella-"

"I was drunk-"

"And believe it or not, Luke adopted her." Michael said, rolling his eyes at Luke. "Luke adopted a girl and forgot her name, that's nice."

"Nutella is good though so I don't take it as an insult persay." I said and he nodded. "Call me nutella now."

"We are not naming you after a freaking chocolate spread." Ashton said and I pouted.

"Yes!" Michael said and pointed to the laptop screen. We all looked at him since he yelled and pointed out a comment. "Your dad is correct, this is his daughter." He told me and I resisted the urge to facepalm since I had glasses on.

"My dad rocked." I said and held up the rock n roll hand symbol. They laughed and Luke agreed. "Both of them do."

"Aww." Ashton and Michael said as Luke smiled brightly, his dimples showing. "Family goals."

"My family, leave it alone. Get your own." Luke said and pushed Ashton away from him. We all laughed and Ashton nodded as he raised his arms up on defense.

"Aw, that's sweet." I said and then laughed lightly. "I bet my life that you're prettier than I am, my face is pretty basic." I said, responding to a comment.

"It is." Luke agreed and I rolled my eyes. "You know I was kidding love." He said and you could see the fans go bezerk in the comments.

"He says love a lot." I told them and Luke rolled his eyes, but agreed with me anyways. "It's cute, especially with Arz. Oh my gosh it's so adorable." I gushed and Ashton nodded.

"It's pretty cute." He agreed and Michael agreed, laughing a bit. Calum was silent, scrolling through his phone.

I frowned and then looked at the comments, seeing that they all wanted Calum to get off of his phone. "Cal, get off your phone. Talk." I said and he looked at me.

"What do I say?" He asked and I shrugged. "Hello." He said and then smiled before going back to his phone.

"Who wants to kiss Calum?" Michael yelled and Ashton raises his hand, along with Luke and every other girl in the world.

I have kissed Calum so...

Calum broke out into a smile and he shook his head as he laughed. "No you don't, stop." He said and Ashton yelled the question next. "You guys always do this!"

"Because you're Calum and everyone loves Calum." I said and then looked at the screen. "Do you love Calum? Because I do. Trend it on twitter." I said and Calum said not to do it.

"Do it." Michael said and put his face all up in the camera. "Trend it. Hashtag Calum is fave." He told them.

"Michael!"

"I'm going to tweet it." Ashton said and Calum whined. "Shush, stop pushing all of our love away." He told him and Calum huffed.

"You're not just the bassist Calum, you're our bassist." Luke said and Calum looked at Luke like he was stupid.

"That doesn't change anything! I'm just owned now!" He said and I laughed.

"You're our best friend and we love you." Ashton said and I held my heart.

"I think I'm gonna cry." I said and lifted my glasses up as I wiped my eye. "That's so cute. I wasn't ready." I told them and they laughed as Luke hugged Calum.

-

"What are you doing?" Calum asked, walking into the music room as I practiced my vocals for Centuries by Fall Out Boy.

"I never meant for you to fix yourself," I sang, getting as close to the note as I could. I held my finger up and then clapped my hands to remember the beat. "You will remember me, remember me for centuries."

Calum blinked a few times and then clapped his hands. "Shit, those vocals are great." He told me and I smiled, thanking him.

"I'm practicing for the concert." I said as he closed the door. He nodded and then sat down on the couch. "Need something?"

"I gotta talk to you..." He said and I nodded, grabbing my water bottle. "About yesterday night..."

I took a drink as I listened to him, my heart pounding against my chest. "I...I'm going to be honest, it felt good, it made me feel happy. It's just, you're fifteen, no matter how old you feel, you're fifteen and I'm twenty and this can't work out."

"Yeah." I said and nodded. "I understand. I feel the same." I said, and I felt like I should be in drama instead of choir. "It's silly to think that you'd actually date a minor."

"If it wasn't for that small detail, trust me, I would own a heartbeat. It's just, like you said, you're a minor. Maybe when you're seventeen, sixteen, but not now. You're too young to be living the life of a seventeen year old." He told me.

"Whatever that means." I said, a tad bit confused by that last sentence. "Yeah, I get it though. It's chill. This isn't going to make it awkward right?"

"I hope not." He said and shook his head. "I won't make it awkward if you don't."

"I won't make it anymore awkward than I used to." I said and he laughed. A heavy silence filled the room and I cleared my throat as I clenched on to my water bottle.

"Cause I've got a jet black heart," I sang, looking down at the floor to continue my practicing. He could have left, but he didn't, he stayed and watched me. "And there's a hurricane underneath it, trying to tear us apart,"

"I write, with a poisoned pen, but these chemicals moving between us, are the reason to start again," I sang, trying not to cry because Calum was watching me and singing a sad song in a fragile state isn't the best idea.

"Now I'm holding on for dear life, and there's no way that we could rewind, maybe-maybe there's nothing after midnight, that could make you stay." I sang, my voice cracking.

I heard Calum stand up and he stood in front of me, tilting my chin up. "Don't cry." He said and smiled smally. "Please. You're making me feel guilty."

"I'm not crying, my voice is just-"

"Don't lie to me either." He said and I nodded. He looked into my eyes for a bit and then sighed. "How about... How about we keep this a secret? A very... very... important secret. If anyone knows we are both screwed." He told me.

"I can do that." I said and he smiled smally. He nodded and then pressed his lips against mine.

I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck. His fingers rested under my chin and his other hand held my exposed waist.

"I'll keep you my dirty little secret." He said and I laughed a bit as he pressed his finger against my lips. I opened my eyes and then looked at him.

"Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret." I finished, holding my finger against his lips. He nodded as we pulled away as someone knocked on the door.

"Hey Nessa, is Cal in there?" Ashton asked I said that he was. Calum sat down and I immediately grabbed the acoustic guitar, putting it over my shoulder as the door opened.

"Luke wants your help with dinner." Ashton said as I absentmindedly played the riff to She's kinda Hot on the guitar. "Did you learn that right now?"

"Yeah." I lied and smiled. "I'm going to be the next Ashton Irwin, I just need to learn drums." I told him.

"Maybe." Ashton said and laughed. "Anyways Cal, come on. We also have to talk." He said and Calum nodded as he stood up.

"See ya." I said and Calum smiled before closing the door. "That was close." I said to myself and then shrugged.
