There's one week left. One week until I get to fly to LA. One week until I possibly get to meet 5sos. Wait no, I'm probably not going to meet them. Probably. Maybe. Most likely.
I have been going crazy this week, I haven't had any time at all to write. My week has consisted of goodbyes and packing, lots of packing. I know its early to already be packed, but I can't wait!
I haven't told anyone besides my parents and two close friends, Madison and Chloe. They freaked out when I told them, even though they aren't huge 5sos fans. They're still excited for me, which is why I love them.
I'm jamming out to Try Hard in the car when I realize that I've only packed 4 outfits, because that's all I have. I begin to panic when I realize that 2 of those outfits involve 5sos merch. Time for a shopping spree.
I pull up to hot topic and pick out a greenday shirt, a blink 182 shirt, a panic at the disco shirt, and a choker necklace. I also get some more ripped black jeans, because you know, you can never have too many.
I wonder if my sense of style will be too similar to 5 Seconds of Summer's?
After this little spree I'm feeling 20 times more excited for next week.
~~~~~~~ One Week Later ~~~~~~~~
"BEEP. BEEP. BEEP."
I swear the world's most annoying alarm clock belongs to yours truly. Today though, its my favorite song. I jump out of bed and race downstairs, singing She Looks So Perfect at the top of my lungs.
Today's the day I leave for LA. I can't stop smiling.
I grab my two bags and run through a mental checklist. I think that I have everything. My palms are sweaty and I am extremely jittery. I curse myself for getting up so early, now I have to wait for another 45 minutes before I can leave for the airport.
I decide to call Madison and Chloe, as I won't be seeing them all summer. Despite the fact that its 5 in the morning, they groggily agree to come over.
Chloe shows up at my house first, even though she's in sweatpants and her blonde hair looks like a lion's mane, she somehow still looks beautiful. I've always been jealous of her looks, but in a friendly way.
Madison comes about 10 minutes later, and is still half asleep.
"Happy Birthday Kara" she mumbles upon entering my house. Chloe and I burst into a fit of laughter while Madison glares at us and curls up on my couch. I'm going to miss them.
"So Kara, what song do you plan on showing them first?" Chloe asks.
"Not sure, I think I'll try and start by coming up with some new stuff, to match the artist I'm working with." I reply, deep in thought.
"Ooo insert a satanic message into a Taylor Swift song so that people hear death threats when they play it backwards!" Madison suggests.
"I'll definitely consider that." I laugh. We then proceed to use Chloe's iPhone to record messages and play them backwards.
Soon enough, my phone alarm goes off, telling me its time to leave. I run upstairs to wake my mom, and Chloe and Madison declare they are coming to the airport to see me off.
The car ride consists of a blaring radio, promises to skype call and text, and double and triple checks that I have everything I need.
After going through airport security and buying soft pretzels for everyone, my plane is ready to board. My parents hug me goodbye and tell me they love me. My eyes fill with tears and I listen to the long goodbye speech Chloe and Madison rehearsed. I hug everyone yet again, and then get on my plane.
I take a deep breath and sit down in my plane seat, put my headphones on, and shut my eyes, ready for the long flight ahead.

FanfictionKara {car-uh} had always wanted to be a poet or a songwriter, and she'd always loved 5sos. Somehow, she'd managed to get a job with their record label to help them write songs, and she had no idea what to expect.
