I was immediately pissed. Sure, Lauren wasn't my sister but I loved her like one. Rylie and I both got out off the car. I walked over to the girl beating her up and pulled her off of Lauren. She tried to fight back, but she was really weak compared to me.

"Rylie, call the cops." I said, but I knew she was going to call Ashton. Which is what I wanted her to do anyway. I just said that to freak the girls out. They all looked at each other and ran. I rolled my eyes and walked over to Lauren.

"Are you okay?" I helped her sit up and she nodded.

"I wouldn't have been if you didn't come. So, thanks." I nodded and she got in Rylie's car. I walked over to Rylie and tried to make out what Ashton was saying.

"Yeah, we got her... She's okay... Yeah I'll put her on." Rylie said and handed Lauren her phone. We both sighed and waited.

Finally, she handed Rylie her phone back and we all got in the car, "Are you sure you're okay?" I asked.

She nodded, "I'm okay."

"Do you want to go somewhere to get your mind off things?" Rylie asked her.

Her eyes lit up, "Can we go to the mall?" I laughed and agreed. I haven't been shopping in a while. Maybe it would make us all feel a little bit better.

"Ooh, let's go to Hot Topic!" I exclaimed as I saw the big white letters. We walked in and I immediately went to the band shirts. That's when I saw something unexpected...

"Oh my god..." Rylie said when she saw it too.

"Lauren, come here!" I said and Lauren turned around and walked over to us. She saw the shirts too.

They had 5sos merchandise already?! Jesus Christ, they've already got merchandise in stores! Oh my god...

I grabbed one in my size and laid it over my arm, along with the Sublime one that I had. I'm so proud of them. Even if it's only their first tour, it doesn't matter. They're already a huge band. Fans notice them all the time. And that's when somebody yelled, "Rylie?!" We all turned around to see who was yelling at my friend. Some girl with bright green hair ran over to us.

"Oh my god! Rylie, Neptune, and Lauren! I can't believe you guys are here! Woah, they already have 5sos merch here?" I chuckled and looked at her.

"You recognized us?" I asked her.

"Duh! You're all over one of my friends fan accounts. She obsessed with you and Luke! And Calum and Rylie. By the way, how are you guys doing?"

Rylie gave me a weird look and then looked back at the girl, "Uh, we're not, so..."

"Really? Wait, have you not seen Calum's most recent tweet? When was the last time you were on Twitter?"

"Uhm, last night. When did he post it?" She asked.

"About an hour and a half ago. Here, look." She held her phone up in front of Rylie and her eyes went wide. I looked at it.

"Why would he post that?" I asked.

"What does it say?" Lauren asked because the girl put her phone away before she could see it.

"Calum posted a picture of him and Rylie from over the summer and now everyone is freaking because they think Ralum is now a thing." I told her. Rylie sighed and I smiled, "Maybe it's a sign."
