Autumn's point of view

"Taylor?" I asked and she turned away from Luke. She hummed and I bit my bottom lip a bit. "Can I talk to you?" I asked.

"But I'm comfortable." She whined and Luke smirked a bit, tightening his grip around her, which was way too low for me. "Some other time?" She asked me with wide eyes.

"Um," I said, feeling both of their eyes on me, plus Michael and Calum's. "Yeah, okay. It can-It can wait." I told her and she smiled.

"Cuddle?" Calum whispered in my ear and I looked at him since he was right beside me. "Or hug?" He asked, opening his arms for me.

"Cuddle." I said and he chuckled. He pulled me closer and I smiled smally. "Just, Ashton can't see this or else he'll flip."

"You never told us," Michael spoke up. "What happened when you were younger? How did you guys split up and why weren't you able to see him?"

"Oh yeah, I haven't have I?" I said and Taylor looked at me. She seemed upset that I was close to Calum but fuck if she can be so close to Luke, why can't I have a friendly cuddle with Calum?

I mean, if she wasn't with Mr. Rockstar we both wouldn't be feeling jealous right now.

"Um, I was like six I think and our parents were fighting." I started and looked up at the ceiling as I tried remembering. "Us two were like huddled inside of a closet because like I said, mum and dad were fighting, and I mean throwing things and slamming doors."

"I remember Ashton telling me that he'd keep me safe and wouldn't let dad take me because I never like him. I didn't. Then I remember that our dad found us because I moved and a sweater fell, causing a loud thump." I continued and Calum rubbed my arm.

"Um, our dad pulled me away from Ashton and now that I think about it, I think it was when I punched him on the dick that he let me go so I can run to Ashton." I said and Michael winced as I laughed.

"Then I gave her my favorite necklace because I knew I couldn't keep him from taking her." I heard Ashton's voice and I looked at him as he walked in. "I was eight, I couldn't have done much."

"Then she yelled at me that she hated me." He said and I just looked at him. "She said I was liar for not keeping her safe and for saying he wasn't going to take her."

"I'm sorry about that." I said and he shrugged. "I didn't mean that, well, now I don't." He laughed and shrugged, telling me it was fine.

"Why couldn't you see him or anything?"

"Dad made us move to the other side of Australia." I said and he nodded. "He told me mom and Ash didn't care about me and that they wouldn't want to see me. He kept telling me that if they wanted me, they wouldn't have fought for me instead of just letting me go with him."

"That wasn't true." Ashton told me and I just played with Calum's fingers. "Mum was a mess and so was I. I remember hearing her cry late at night and I remember that I used to aswell."

"Is that why you cried all those time at night?" Michael asked and Ashton nodded. "You should have told us." Michael said.

"It's fine." Ashton said and smiled smally. "I have Autumn now so it's fine." He said and I chuckled.

"What's this?" Calum asked as he looked at my wrist. "I never noticed that puzzle piece tattoo." He told me and my smile fell.

"Yeah," I said. "Me and Taylor got them done on my birthday." I said and he nodded. "That was a fun day, huh Tay?" I asked her and looked over asked her.

"Your lips are so chapped Luke, ever hear of chapstick?"

"Oh," I said and smiled so I didn't seem too upset. "Okay then." I mumbled and Calum sighed. "Anyways, it was fun. We went on a dinner date and had lots of alcohol and got tattoos done."

"I have a question," Michael said and I hummed. "I don't want to sound cocky, but we're popular and so, have you ever heard a girl talking about Ashton before? Surely if you heard his name you could be like, oh, that's my brother."

"I didn't pay much attention to you guys. I thought you were some overrated boyband." I said and Luke scoffed.

"Thanks."

"Besides, I never really heard anyone say the last names. All I would hear is 'have you heard their new song?' and 'they're so cute'." I said. "Oh, and my personal favorite 'back off bitch, he's mine'." I said and they laughed.

"I'm no one's." Ashton said and I chuckled. "No one here is anyone's because none of us are objects." He told us and I rolled my eyes.

"You're so deep, I can't even see you anymore. Where's Ashton?" Michael said and I laughed a bit more. "You're sister is cooler than you."

"I'm cooler than all of you." I said and looked at Calum. "Maybe not Calum, he has a great fashion and music taste." I said and he chuckled.

"Why, thank you miss Autumn." He said and Ashton cleared his throat along with Taylor. "Sorry Ashton."

I felt a glare on me and I got out of Calum's grip. "Wha-"

"I need to stretch." I said and stood up. I began to stretch and I almost screamed and someone pushed me. I heard laughter and I looked at them all. "Alright, which one of you fuckers did it?"

They all pointed to Calum and I glared at him. "Not funny Hood."

"You're right Autumn," he said. "It was fucking hilarious." He finished and I flipped him off. "Also, pull your shirt up."

"Why do you always tell me to pull my shirt up? Stop staring." I said as I looked down and fixed the neckline if my shirt.

"Not cool Calum."

"Seriously, not cool dude." Ashton said, agreeing with Taylor. I rolled my eyes and Calum shrugged. "Where did you two go yesterday anyways?"

"We just hung out." He said and I laughed. "We drank some beer, ate some sandwhiches, rapped along to some rap songs, and took pictures." He said and I nodded.

"What song was it?" I asked him with a laugh. "There was so many that I forgot which one was the one we had to cut short because you almost killed yourself by doing a handstand.".

"It was um 'The Real Slim Shady' by Eminem." Calum said and clapped as he laughed. "I almost ruined our phones and our food."

"How'd you almost kill yourself?"

"That fucking loser decided to do a handstand and he didn't land it on his feet so he like feel forward and did a belly flop into the lake." I said while laughing. "It's was hilarious."

"It hurt." He pouted and I just laughed. "Oh! And I got a song idea from Autumn." He said and I smiled proudly. "She helped me write it a bit, it's on my phone."

"She was always really good at writing things." Taylor said a bit sourly and I rose an eyebrow at her. She mumbled something and Luke laughed.

"They say we're losers and we're alright with that, we are the leaders of the not coming backs," Calum read and Ashton and Michael seemed to like it.

"Then these ones." He said and stilled through his phone. "Sometimes I'm feeling like I'm going insane, my neighbor told me that I got bad brains."

"I have a few lines on my phone but I'm too lazy to take it out." I said. "It's was something about shrinks and dropping out of college and meds." I told them.

"I think she just helped us write a hit." Ashton said and I smiled. "Calum, when you get the chance, you should like write these down so we can continue with it."

"I will."

"I don't really like it." Luke said and my smile faded. "I feel like it'd sound too much like a copy of a Green Day song." He added.

"That's why we add some '5 Seconds of Summer' into it Luke." Michael said. "This is amazing. It can be like a song that helps people feel good about themselves and be all rebel-y and 'I don't give a fuck'. It's seriously perfect."

"Are you sure?" I asked, suddenly feeling a bit insecure about what I helped with. I wasn't a writing expert so I have no idea while Luke has actually had experience with this stuff.

"Of course." Ashton said and I stood up. I dusted my jeans off and then fixed my shirt. "This calls for a pizza night. Michael, you know what to do."

"Yep." He said and stood up. He took his phone out and then walked away from us to order pizza I guess.

"I'm not hungry." I said because the look Luke kept giving me was making me feel all anxious. It was as if he was telling me to back the fuck off with his eyes.

"Are you sure?" Calum asked and I nodded. "Not even one slice?" I shook my head and he nodded, not pressing the subject.

"I need to get a job." I sighed and thought about what I could do. "What can I do?" I thought outloud.

"Nothing."

"Thanks for the confidence boost Luke." I said, trying to make it sound sarcastic so it could play along with his 'joking' tone.

"You don't need a job if you're staying with us." Ashton said. "We make enough money to get to whatever." He to me and I shook my head.

"No, I'm too dependant on people. I can't let you do that." I said and sighed. "The only thing I'm even remotely good at is rapping, I think."

"You are."

"Yeah, you are." Calum agreed with Taylor. "Maybe it just runs in the genes, huh mister Aussie Rap?" Calum asked Ashton and I laughed.

"I don't know what you're talking about, nothing is running in my jeans." Ashton said and I took a seat beside Calum again.

"Oh, urgh, fuck Ashton, you know what I mean." Calum said and I crossed my legs as I leaned back.

"She can rap 'Rap God' perfectly." Calum said and I laughed. "While we were out the song came on and she did it perfectly. It was so cool. It made me feel like shit cause she can rap so fast and I can barely speak."

"Do it! Do it! Do it!" Ashton chanted and I shook my head. "Come on, please?" He asked and my cheeks just burned.

"Get me my snapback and I will." I said and Calum stood up. "The one that matches my outfit." I said and he looked at me.

"Red, got it."

"Why do you need your snapback?"

"My hair is a mess and it goes everywhere when I'm spitting rhymes." I said and he laughed. I pushed my bangs back a bit and caught the hat after he threw it at me.

"I paid like thirty dollars for this, don't Calum." I said and put it on as he laughed. "Now um, hold on, let me think of the lyrics." I said and Ashton nodded as he turned to look at me.

I set my elbows on my knees and then looked down as I thought of them. I took a deep breath and then began to rap the song, a blush on my cheeks as I did.

"Woo!" Calum cheered and I held in a laugh. I bobbed my head as the beat played in my head and looked up.

"She may not be able to sing well but she can rap." Calum said and Ashton told him that wasn't nice.

I pushed the brunette boy and he laughed as he scooted over. "Love you too Autumn." He said after I flipped him off.

I seriously hate that boy.
