The Long Way Home

Chapter 2 // goodbye already?

Grace's POV
"Okay, since we don't really know you at all why don't we ask you 20 questions each." Luke explains to me. I just nodded my head, not wanting to embarrass myself again. (Y/N: I'm not going to write all 80 questions because that would be the most boring chapter known to man so I'm just writing the important ones.)

"How old are you?" Calum asked.

"Seventeen"

"When's your birthday?" Luke asked.

"January 17th"

"What's your favorite color?" Michael then pipes up. They're being so creative right now. (Y/N: SARCASM)

"Blue"

"What's your favorite band?" Ashton asked.

"Five Second Of Summer" I said with a straight face, totally serious. Ashton giggled. I almost fell off of my bed from trying not to scream. Their giggles fuel my damn life. Especially Ashton's.

"What's your favorite movie?"

"Finding Nemo"

"Have you ever been skinnydipping?" Michael asks. I'm not surprised one bit.

"Nope." They all look at me in shock.

"What? My life is so boring. I've never been to a concert, on a cruise or seen a scary movie." I felt my cheeks get hot again.

After more weird and unoriginal questions, we finished.

"I'm hoooome" I heard a male voice from downstairs.

"Well that's my stepdad and now you can get your van fixed." I told the boys.

After my stepdad changed his clothes we went outside and walked a few blocks down to where the van was. Huh. I wonder why they didn't go to one of the other houses that were closer. I thought to myself.

Anyways, he figured out that all the van needed was gas, so my stepdad just filled up the tank.

The boys thanked him and they all jumped in the van.

I assumed they had to do their tour-y stuff so I started walking back towards my house with my hands in my pockets. Well that was the craziest experience ever. I just freaking met 5 Seconds Of Summer! Omigosh I have to tell Tia right now. I thought to myself. I pulled out my phone, plugged in my earbuds and started Face Timing her.

"Holy shit you will never guess what just happened." I screamed.

"Did you eat ice cream and then aliens came and invaded the world?" She asked.

"What? No!" I said laughing.

"GRACE!" Tia screamed.

"Jesus Christ your making my eardrums bleed." I shouted back.

"LUKE FUCKING HEMMINGS IS BEHIND YOU!" She screamed even louder.

I turned around and saw him catching up to me.

"Where are you going?" He asked. I looked back at my phone screen and Tia was flipping out.

"Um home...?" I said but it came out more as a question.

"No, you're coming with us silly!" He laughed. I could hear Tia screaming profanities.

"What are you talking about? And Tia be quiet!" I asked Luke and whisper-yelled at Tia. Why the hell am I having two conversations at once? I told Tia I would call her later even though she got super pissed at me. I didn't really care. Luke fucking Hemmings was in front of me for god's sake. I resumed my conversation with him.

"Didn't your mom tell you?" He questioned.

"Tell me what?"

"Oh nevermind." He said. That was weird. I just brushed it off and we stood there in awkward silence.

"Um, so, we just wanted to thank you for fixing our van and stuff. We're on tour right now and, uh, we actually want to hang out with you and meet some person you called Tia I think." He mumbled. Aw he was being so cute.

"Oh, it's okay you have banding to do." I giggled.

"But um, Calum wanted me to ask you for your number?" He handed me Calum's phone.

"Uh okay here." I typed my number in and my hands were shaking so badly.

Luke's POV

The band said bye to Grace and we promised her that we would see her and her friend as soon as we got off of the tour. When we were at her house I saw Calum staring at her lots of times without her noticing. He can be a little creeper like that sometimes.

Anyways, we had so many awesome shows and I couldn't be more grateful to be in this band with my best friends in the whole entire world. During the tour Calum and Grace were always texting non stop. She was all he talked about.

"So you really like her huh?" I asked him one day.

"What are you talking about?" He laughed.

"Grace! Duh! That's all you ever talk about. Grace this and Grace that and Grace Grace Grace Gra-"

"Okay I get it! And no I don't like her, we're just good friends." he replied. Like I was ever going to believe that.

"What ever you say, Cal-Pal."

Alrighty so I put some of my real friends (not those fake hoes) in this book and I told my friend Tia that she would meet them in this chapter, whoops. (Sorry if you're reading this Tia). Oh and I changed my username because my other one sucked.

Peace ✌️
