Hanging Tree

Chapter 30

Calum

“I think the first picture is better than the second one,” Ashton said.

“Nah, the second one is a lot more better,” Mikey commented.

We’ve been sitting here for over five minutes decided which picture is better for our Twitter page. Violet suggested us to take a group selfie saying that the fans would go crazy if they saw it. We agreed and took a few but we obviously can’t decide which is better. Ashton and Luke have been rooting for the first one while me and Mikey are going for the second picture.

Luke’s obviously frustrated with us arguing about this picture when he finally said, “Can we just ask Violet to pick?”

All pairs of eyes turned and looked at Violet. She sat there looking at us confused. Silent fell upon us as we waited for Violet to answer us. She seemed to finally come back to reality when she blinked and recomposed herself. “Um, in my opinion, I think first one is better,” she answered shurring her shoulder casually. Ashton and Luke smiled from one corner of their cheek to the other. Where as me and Mikey just rolled our eyes and slumped back down into our couches. Violet let out a small giggled and moved closer to me. “I’m sorry,” she said as she snuggled closer to me.

She’s always being adorable and there’s no way anyone could ever be upset with her. “Its okay, babe,” I said as I kissed her forehead.

Ashton chuckled and looked at all of us. “Boys, get your phones out. Go read all the reactions we’re getting. Its hilarious.”

I fished my phone out of my pocket and clicked the blue bird icon. My notifications are blasting with mentions and tweets from fans.

Mikey read one out aloud, “ I think I finally see the lights of heaven.”

“I can finally die in peace now that I’ve seen 4/4 in a selfie,” Luke read another one.

“I’m crying so hard right now. This is their first 4/4 selfie,” Ashton read one.

I scrolled down and read a few others and stopped when I finally found a good one.

“Can all four boys fuck me already?” I read out.

This caused all of us to burst out laughing. “I told you everyone would freak out,” Violet said smirking to herself.

She looks so good when she’s confident like this. If only she be this confident all the time. When she came over today after school she seemed so upset and I found out it was because she received detention. I have to admit I was infuriated when I found out those pricks were the ones who earned her detention but then I eventually let it go when I found out that Zayn had actually helped her when she was getting bullied. Violet explained everything to me and I have to say I’m impressed at the fact Zayn is willing to change. I guess that’s what true sibling love is.

“What’s a live stream?” Ashton asked, pulling his eyes away from his illuminating phone screen.

“Um, its something like where you go live and all the fans can watch you and they can comment and stuff. You can respond to the comment also,” Violet answered.

Mikey looked at her in shock. “What else do you know, Miss KnowItAll?”

Violet laughed and chucked a pillow at Mikey which he successfully dodged. “Fans are all requesting us to do a live stream,” Luke said.

“Then let’s do it!” Michael practically screamed.

“Jeez, we’ll do it, mate but calm the fuck down,” I said and chuckled.
