Safety Pin • Luke Hemmings

Epilogue

5 years later

"Welcome back to 107.9 the metro. I'm Faith Holt and We're here today with the lovely Geo Summer for the promotion of her 3rd album. We're all excited here at the studio but tell me, Geo, how are you feeling about this album? What can you tell us about it?"

I smiled at the interview, the headphones on my head pressed down alittle too tight giving me a headache as I spoke into the microphone.
"I don't want to spread expectations but it's my favorite album yet. Me and my team have worked so hard on this album and every song has my sweat and tears poured into it."

"I can't wait. And neither can your fans. You're currently trending on Twitter in the Music and pop culture category with the hashtag, GS3Velocity." The interviewer said reading off some note cards. "When's the new single coming out?"

I smiled and held up a CD in a case, "how about in a few minutes for ya?" The interviewer smiled and grabbed the case from me. "You heard it folks, Geo's new single later on 107.9 the metro. But until then I have some questions for you."

"Shoot." I smiled.

"You grew up in Australia correct?" She asked making me nod, "Yeah until I was 18, and then I moved to Canada for 5 years and now I live here in LA."

"A lot of your current fans are high school students, how was your high school experience?" She asked.

I nodded, "it was great. I was in a band and had awesome friends."

"These friends included the band 5 Seconds of Summer correct? Stay tuned until 7:30 to hear about 5sos newest album Youngblood, How close were you with the band?" She asked.

That stupid band name was going to be the death of me. Every time I would turn on the Raido or look on Twitter it was always them.
Now it had followed me to my personal life.

"We were friends. The drummer of the band was my friend from when we were 4 until we graduated." I tried to stay as broad as possible, hoping to move on to the next topic. Hell, I'd leak the whole album right now if she just stopped talking about that band.

"And what about you and Luke Hemmings?" She asked.

"We were friends. Just like me and all the guys." I said gritting my back teeth lightly.

She reached over to a CD holder and pulled out a CD case. "Fans were doing some digging and found this in 5 Seconds of Summer's first album." She opened up the case and slipped out the booklet from the case. "Did you know your name is their self-titled album is mentioned on the track Amnesia? Did you help write the song?"

She handed me the booklet. Sure I knew. I knew it was there because it was my song. It felt like ages ago when I wrote this song but it was played all across the world too, and 5 Seconds of Summer got the credit.

"Just something I wrote in highschool," I told her handing her back the booklet.

"Do you still talk to the guys? What about your other bandmates?" She asked.

My head spun.

"We're all doing our own thing now. and they are doing absolutely amazing things on their own." I just said.
