I went down stairs where I see Calum and Ashton eating. They both looked at me and their eyes widen.

"Um hi?" I waved. They waved back, then back to just looking at me with blank stares. Then behind me I heard someone come down the stairs. 

"Hey guys." Michael said, walking in front of me to the boys.

"Um Michael." Calum said.

"Yeah?" He said acting so happy.

"Why is she here?" Ashton asked pointing at me. Michael turned and looked at me.

"He kidnapped me." I said, trying to lighten the mood. They didn't think it was really funny. Michael lost his grin and scoffed throwing his arms in the air.

"No I didn't, look she got into trouble with the paparazzi. So I took her here ok?" He went to the fridge and got milk. The guys just nodded and went back to eating. I guess my first impression wasn't very good, maybe I should start over with them. I walked over to Calum who was eating on a island in the kitchen across from Ashton.

"Um I'm Ember." I said with a smile on my face.

"Nice to meet you." He said with a mouth full of food. I lost my smile.

"And your name is?" I waited for a answer. He looked at me confused.

"Um Calum... you don't know?" He asked giving me all his attention.

"Well I do because my sister has a big poster on her door of you, but you can't assume I'll know." I smiling. He just gave me a blank face.

"Amber, be nice." Michael warned me. I looked over and glared at him.

"You're just doing that on purpose now." I threw my hands in the air and crossed them. He just smirked. Finally Luke came down stairs, clothed, Thank god. At this moment, he is the only one I like. I got a little less tense and let my arms fall.

"If Michael didn't tell you already," Luke started to walk me. He stopped right when he got next to me. "she spending the day with us." He pointed his finger to the top of my head and kept walking. Calum and Ashton spit their food out.

"WHAT?!" They said.

"Damn am I really that bad?" I crossed my arms again and looked away from everyone. The room was silence, I assumed they all were looking at me. Then I heard light footsteps coming to me. I Look up at who was standing in front, Luke, Smiling down at me.

"Let me show you around." He started to walk down a hall. I followed.

"This is our game room." It was a blue room with lights on the walls. It had couches, beanbag chairs and those gamer chairs. Also had a huge tv. "Do you play?" He asked.

"Not since I turned 16, kinda got over it." I confessed. We kept walking.

"How old are you?" He asked.

"18,  you?" 

"19." He said. Oh? He is the same age as me. I wonder if the others are the same. We got to this room with just couches, chairs, and big fluffy bean bag chair. "Did you just turn 18?" He asked as he walked in to the sofa-chair.

"No, I will turn 19 in September." I laid back in a beanbag chair. "Ah, I wouldn't mind having one of these." I said snuggled in the bag. He chuckled at me.

"Cute." He said. I sat up and looked at him. He called me cute? 

"So when's your birthday?" I looked down trying to hide my cheeks.

"It was just last week. July 16." He said.

"Ah yes, I remember now." I realized.

"Huh? You knew?" he asked confused.

"Oh no, my sister was just all happy that day and on her phone. She said something about a birthday. I guess it was your's." I told him. He just nodded understanding and I think I saw him blush a little.

"You talk about your sister a lot, she must be special." He leaded back into his chair.

"Well yeah, she is. She's my rock, i'd do anything for her. I mean I came here just to help her-" I stopped myself. He frowned his eyebrows and sat up putting his elbows on his knees.

"Help her with what?" he asked. I looked over to the windows and looked at the sky.

"Um nothing, nevermind. We should go back." I stood up and walked to the door. I talk about my sister way too much to them. Everything they say or do I have to bring her up. She like a ex boyfriend that won't leave my head. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but the only reason I came was so I could help her meet 5 seconds of summer. She didn't want me to really come just to spend time, she wants them. You know what Ash, i'm done talking about you. And I won't help you meet them, you do it yourself.
Soon we got back into the kitchen with the boys.

"How was the tour?" Ashton asked.

"It was fine, you guys have a nice house." I said. He smiled and nodded, thanking me.

"Come on guys its 12, we have a interview." Calum said. They all stood up and went to put shoes on and grabbed bags. Then they all went to the door to outside, I followed closely behind. Outside there was a van, like the one they put me in. We climbed in and the driver drives off to wherever.

"So Amber," Michael said.

"I'm going to slap you if you say that again." I threatened him.

"We have some rules." He ignored me and kept going. "First, you will sit in a corner and just watch. No commenting during or before the interviews." He said.

"What about questions?" I asked. They looked around each other to see if everyone thought it was ok. Ashton shrugged.

"Ok, but only after." He said.

"And no pictures throughout the day. We don't want anything getting out to the press about this." Calum added.

"True, the press would go crazy about this." Ashton said.

"Nor would it be good for you, you would have more attention then now." Luke informed me. My eyes widen a little.

"I wasn't gonna take picture anyways." I mumbled to myself. They all smiled and went back to talking among themselves. I put my headphone in and listened to music. I looked out the window and looked at the beautiful county. Wow. Maybe this isn't the trip I wanted to go on, but it was well worth the view. The van finally stopped and the boys started to get out. I got up, but Michael stopped me.

"Here." He handed me a hoodie. I raised a eyebrow as I took it. "It's to protect your identity." He said. I didn't bother arguing, my blue hair is a give away. I put it on putting the hood over my head and my glasses on. I don't really wear my glasses as much as I should, so if anyone sees my face they won't know who I am later. Hopefully.
We got into a build and the boys met with some people. I sat in a conner, like I was told, behind the cameras and stayed on my phone texting Ashley.

To Ashley: I can't tell u where I am, but I'm sure you can guess. I'll be home tonight or tomorrow morning. Sorry :/ go have fun. Meet people and maybe some boys. XOXO

I looked up from my phone and took one headphone out. As the set up for the interview, or whatever, it got me thinking. They aren't bad singers, I just never really wanted to listen to their songs. I searched up 5SOS and this lots came up, but one Album count my eye. Feels good, sounds good. I click on a song call San Francisco.

First it was Calum singing, so far so good. Then another voice came on, sounding like Michael. Whoa, Michael is... amazing. His voice is like, I don't even know how to explain it. It just gives me goosebumps. I look over to him and he's sitting next to Calum. He runs his fingers through his hair and then looks at me. He smiles and waves. I snapped out of whatever I was in and looked at him with a blank face. Then smirked a little, which became a smile. I waved back to be nice, then looked back down at my phone. 

I don't know what this feeling is, but I like it.
