-chapter 2-

    It annoyed Luke. Everything had annoyed him the entire day. Yesterday was great, he met a wonderful girl. However, he could not remember her name. He knew it was beautiful, just like her, he just couldn't wrap his head around it. Those damn ducks haunted Luke's mind every painfully driven second. All he wanted was to call her and possibly get to know her, but no. Ducks ruined it. He hated ducks.
   Ashton walked in, plopping down on the sofa beside Luke, slightly shaking him from his concentration. Ash smirked at Luke and put his feet on the couch and began kicking Luke's sides.
    "Aah, what the fuck Ash?" Luke shrieked as Ashton kicked his ribcage and pushed away his awful smelling feet, "Your feet smell like cheese," He scrunch his nose and Ash chuckled at the taller boy.
   "My feet stench ages like fine wine," he said enclosing his hand and kissing his fingers like the Italian chefs do, then he put his feet back on the floor, out of Luke's nostril's reach, "But in this case, fine cheese," He laughed at his own stupid joke and began flipping through the channels.
    Luke rubbed his sides which were probably bruised, and turned to face the demon next to him,"So when are Calum and Michael gonna be back?" Luke asked referring to the other two band members that were out. Michael had his wisdom teeth removed so they were out getting him ice cream.
Stopping on Ridiculousness, Ashton quickly took a sip of Luke's drink from the table and responded, "Calum texted me a while ago, said they'll be back in 20, so probably any minute now," he put Luke's drink back down on the coaster.
    Luke pointed to his glass of tea, "That right there," Ashton nodded along, "Mr. Irwin, is mine," he smirked, ignoring Luke's statement, and took the glass once again, chugging the rest in front of him. He gasped, "You bitch!" Luke lightly punched his arm and he smiled his cheeky smile revealing his dimples.
     "Calum also said Michael would be hopped up on anesthesia, so we're gonna record him and put it on twitter later," Ash said slightly laughing while shaking his head.
The sound of that word puzzled Luke for a moment. It sounded too familiar. He repeated the word in his mind a few times before I finally clicked. He remembered the girl's name - Anastasia.
    Luke smiled to himself, and Ashton must have noticed and asked , "Why so smiley today Lukey?"
Luke felt his cheeks slightly blush as He began to recall the little adventure at the park, "This girl, ah it's nothing," He said pushing away the bashfulness.
      Ashton raised an eyebrow ,obviously not fooled, " If you're blushing just thinking about her, then it's obviously something."
   Luke smiled again, but this time in embarrassment. " Just don't worry about it, and don't bring it up around the guys, yeah?" He asked kindly. He didn't want the guys to know how badly he screwed up.
   "Okay, I won't, but only cause I wub my Lukey Pukey," Ashton said in a baby voice pinching the side of the blonde's cheek.
   Luke shooed his hand away and hit his shoulder again, "Thanks, and don't call me 'Lukey Pukey'. You can say Lukey, just don't add the Pukey, yeah?" He raised his eyebrows waiting for his response.
The curly haired boy pouted, "Okay, Lukey," he smirked before quietly adding, "Pukey," Luke gave him daggers and a huff, Ash showed his dimples and gave Luke a big unnecessary smile.
It was weird, some people actually think that the 'Lashton' ship was sailing, but As far as Luke knew they were both straight. However, Ashton's been keeping a big secret form the boys for a long time now and he's been thinking about sharing, but always chickens out.
     The door opened and in walked Michael with his arm over Calum's shoulders, Calum supporting him and helping him walk straight. Luke immediately got up to help his friends, but Ashton darted off to get the video camera to record their drugged friend. Michael stammered in muttering incoherent sounds, leaning against Calum, who was struggling to hold the lad up. Not that Michael is heavy, but he sure isn't light.
       Ashton soon returned with a camera, recording as Michael fell face first on the sofa, grunting in         pain. Ashton giggled slightly and sat on the coffee table in front of his hurting friend.
     "C'mon Mikey, sit up so it won't hurt," Ashton said pushing on the younger boy's shoulder as he groaned in frustration.
    Luke turned to Calum after a few minutes of watching Ashton get funny reactions from Michael and said, "So do we need to go get him pain medication and stuff?"
Calum shrugged and scavenged a paper from his wallet, "The dentist said to go to a CVS or Walgreens and pick these up," he handed the blonde a paper with Michael's prescription sloppily written.
"Do you want me to go pick them up?" Luke raised an eyebrow at him.
    "Nah, I'll go pick em up tomorrow first thing in the morning," Cal raised a hand, pushing back the responsibility and leaning back against the counter. Luke nodded in agreement, turning his attention back on the two in the living room.
   "So what do you want to be when you grow up?" Aston laughed out, already knowing Michael's response would be ridiculous.
    "I wanna- uh, I-I- I, uh wanna grow up to be, a-a," Michael was stuttering terribly, either genuinely stumped at the question, or very illiterate due to the medication, " I wanna drive a garbage truck," he smiled the best he could through his cotton filled mouth.
    Ashton gave him a confused look, still holding the camera, "Now why is that?" He raised an eyebrow, confused, as well as Calum and Luke.
   Michael chuckled half heartedly, "Panty raid," his head fell onto the couch again as he muttered swears. Ashton bursted out laughing, even Luke couldn't help but laugh at the drugged boys response. He look over at Calum who was on the verge of tears.
   Ashton turned the camera off and walked towards the two in the kitchen, "That's definitely getting posted," he paused, gazing down at the technology in his hand, "everywhere," he gave both of the boys a devious smile and walked into his room, most likely to go upload the video.
  Unlike Calum, Luke went to his lilac colored haired friend and sat him up so he wouldn't get a kink in his neck. Cal was more concerned of getting to bed because he had to wake up at around nine o'clock to get that stupid prescription, so he slipped out of the open kitchen and went into his room in the large apartment.

-.-.-.-

       The tanner of the boys woke up groggy and unwillingly, but his alarm went off signaling it was time to go get Michael's prescriptions. This made him wish he had told Luke he could go get the damn medicine. Calum, although, hated waking up before three, did it to get some recognition from the boys. He never really did anything around the flat, so Calum wanted them to thank him for once.
    He got dressed and pulled on a nirvana t-shirt with black skinny jeans and some black vans. When he went to the mirror to check his hair, Calum was distracted by himself. He always bragged about how perfect he looked. He was right, he really was gorgeous, but arrogance was the largest of his flaws that made him ugly.
   Since the closest pharmacy was a Walgreens, according to Siri, Cal left loudly being sure to annoy the boys. He heard groans and swears before Calum closed the door making him smile at how distraught his band mates were. Since Calum and Ashton were the only two who had rental cars, he hopped in his and sped down the road following the directions on his phone.
   The guys have been in America for about a week and they were still very new around the New York area. Their manager scheduled Michael's appointment after Michael broke down during a gig and cried because of his teeth. Calum didn't mind taking him and bringing the lad home, but getting up early was something he did not enjoy.
  The 5sos boys were actually lined up to tour with One Direction, so they were waiting in NYC for about a month until they showed up and began the tour. It didn't make sense to Ashton or Calum, but Calum didn't really care. Luke and Michael enjoyed seeing different countries and cities. Luke actually really liked being in New York.
    Siri's voice echoed through the black Cadillac rental, "You've reached your destination," Calum rolled his eyes at the voice and turned into the Walgreens parking lot. He locked the car behind him and walked through the automatic doors.
   The store was a ghost town, there was no one except a few workers. Which was good for Calum, because he didn't want screaming old ladies to attack him for all his hotness. 5sos wasn't really popular in America which bothered Calum a bit. He liked being famous and having people practically cry when they see him. In New York, barely anybody knew who the boys were and it kind of irritated him.
    Gazing down a few aisles, he spotted a worker with a blue vest on. The raven haired boy went up to the girl and tapped her shoulder. He muttered an, "excuse me."
   Hearing the Australian accent, she turned with a beaming smile but it quickly faded after realizing who it wasn't. Secretly crying inside, she shook off her disappointment and got lost in Calum's chocolate eyes.
    He smirked at her zombie face, knowing she was gawking at him. She was pretty, with long honey hair and big blue eyes. The name tag on her blue vest read, "Ana" in pretty cursive.
   Cal waved a hand in front of her face, "uh, Miss? Ana?" The girl immediately snapped out of her trance and raised an eyebrow at the taller boy.
     She bit her lip thinking how in the world someone as attractive as this boy could know her name. Ana was stumped. It actually kind of freaked her out a little bit. She didn't know who this guy was, he looked familiar but she had no clue where she could've seen him before.
    "How do you know my name?" Ana quietly asked. Calum smiled and pointed at the name tag. She mentally face palmed herself for being so oblivious and shook off the embarrassment, "So, uh, what did you need?" Ana asked a little louder with a fake smile.
    The boy smirked and handed Ana the paper from his wallet, on the paper were two prescriptions. It also had a name on it - Michael. Ana assumed that was the boys name and continued internally fangirling.
   The short girl nodded and walked towards the pharmacy section and stood behind the counter. He went to follow her, but Ana turned around and shooed him in the opposite direction, "Noooo, you have to stay on that side," She gave an apologetic smile while giggling as Calum's cheeks blushed slightly from embarrassment.
    "Sorry, Ana," he said putting his hands up in defeat, "Name is Calum by the way," he gave a small wave
   Ana scrunched her face, "Then who's Michael?" She asked holding up the paper with a puzzled look.
He smiled and informed the girl, "He's my band mate, he just had his wisdom teeth taken out, so ya," he said the last part averting his eyes from Ana's.
   "Band mate? So your in a band?" She asked, keeping the conversation while going behind a shelf to look for the medication written on the paper. That was something her boss was always on her case about. If she didn't keep a friendly conversation going with the customer he would give her a lecture about being nice and kind.
    Ana couldn't see the tan boy's face but she heard him smirk, "Yup, you haven't heard of us?" He asked confused.
   She shook her head, then remembered he couldn't see so she said, "Nope," popping the 'p' while walking over to the counter with the medicine in a bag. Calum frowned because he didn't want to leave so suddenly. Ana was very pretty to him and he'd like to get to know her better.
However, Ana thought he was sad because she didn't know his band, so she put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Hey, when bands first start out not everyone knows about them, I know some people that think 'One Direction' is a new ride at Disney World," Ana smiled at him, earning a small chuckle from the boy.
   "It's not that," Cal stated with a sigh while taking his wallet out to pay.
  "Then what is it?" Ana kept her eyes on the register as she punched in the total and waited for him to pay.
    He handed the pretty girl the correct amount of bills, "Now I have to leave, but you're really pretty and I don't want to," he pouted as she handed him his receipt. Ana smiled, flattered at his statement. Another boy was being sweet and kind to her.
    First Luke, now Calum, is it 'Date Ana Week' or something? She was on a roll with hot guys. It was strange to her how one guy after another flirted with her in a nice way. It usually doesn't happen that way.
    "So, will I see you again?" The much taller boy smlied and looked into her ocean colored eyes.
Ana was taken aback so she gave him a warm smile that was accompanied by a blush, "I hope so," She stated and walked back to the aisle she was at originally. Calum didn't respond, and she didn't even hear him move so Ana assumed he had left the store.
   "Then what about tomorrow, yeah?" he asked following behind Ana, almost giving the poor girl a heart attack.
    At first, the blonde girl didn't answer, she just continued putting items back where they belong with a big smile on her face. Eventually, Anastasia turned to see Calum with his eyebrows raised awaiting a response. She shrugged her shoulders and put some posters that fell on the floor back on the rack, "Where do you want to meet up?"
      She blushed a little, still trying to take in what just happened. Another sweet guy in the same week, but he wanted to meet her instead of calling, hopefully he wouldn't stand her up.
