Bree's POV
The next day the guys had to go out and go to a meeting with some guys. They didn't give me any details about what it is for but they did say that they'll have a surprise for me later. I wonder what it is for...

The good thing about today is that I have the place to myself so I can finish decorating my room. I slipped on some old sweats and put on All Time Low's new album 'Future Hearts'. Most of the walls have already been painted so I grabbed my paintbrush and finished them off and after I moved around the furniture and put away all my clothes, books, CDs.
Hours had passed and finally it was finished. I walked back to the door way to and looked at my hard work. I felt much more at home here than I previously did. It's my own personal space where I can escape from the outside world and feel safe. Satisfied with my work I left the room and walked to the kitchen to use the phone.
I hadn't talked to my mam for days and she was probably going crazy. She picked up the phone on the second ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey mam, it's Bree-"
"Bree! I've missed you so much! How are you getting on sweetie?"
"I'm great, I love it here so much. The apartment is huge, the weather is beautiful and my new roommates are really nice."
"I'm so happy that your happy there Bree, are you ok for money? Did you get a job yet?"
"Well....I haven't gotten the chance to look for a job yet but don't worry, I'm fine for now."
"Call me if you ever need anything like money, ok sweetie? I don't want you to end up with no money when your in a foreign country."
"Ok mam-"
"Tell me more about your roommates."
"Well there's Levi, Drew, Nate and Austin-"
"YOUR LIVING WITH FOUR GUYS?!" I swear she nearly destroyed my eardrum.
"Yes mam, Jesus no need to scream your head off. They're just lovely and so sweet, you'll really like them." There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds but she then replied.
"Ok but just make sure that I don't become a grandmother any time soon."
"Jesus Christ mam, can you stop please! Anyway they're only friends. They don't see me in that way."
We chatted for another little while, telling me her plans to come and visit me in a few weeks. I really do miss my mam, she's like my best friend and she always finds a way to make me happy when I'm in a crappy mood, I can't wait to see her. I'm really disappointed though that dad can't make it over here. Mam mentioned that he was swamped with work and wouldn't be able to afford taking a few days off.
My dad is an accountant for a multinational company that's based here in America. He originally had been working in Tennessee but had been transferred to the Irish headquarters in Dublin when I just turned 2. He's always working and sometimes missed family events like birthdays, anniversaries etc. when I was younger we didn't have a very close relationship with each other because of his work but now I see that he only works so hard to provide for mam and I and my sister.
Oh I forgot to mention Amber, Amber is my older sister who is currently living in Australia with her boyfriend Luke. She has lived there for around three years now, my parents were heartbroken when she left. During those three years we've only seen her six times and after every single one of those visits my mam ends up in tears. Before I left I promised her that i'ld try and visit as much as possible, hopefully I find a job soon so I can fulfil my promise to her.
After the phone call I went snooping around the apartment since I hadn't gotten a proper chance to explore the place. Feeling curious I went into each of the boys' rooms.
Austin's room was the first on the left then it was followed by Levi's. On the right the first room was Drew's, then Nate's and my new room. Surprisingly there rooms weren't that messy except with the exception of Levi's.
Clothes were thrown all over the place and used plates and cups were on his desk. There were a few scrunched up pieces of paper left on his desk.
What I did notice also was that they all have instruments in their rooms. For example I found guitars in Drew and Austin's rooms, a small drum kit in Nate's and a bass in Levi's room. Are they in a band together?
When I picked up one of the pieces of paper it confirmed my suspicions. The whole sheet was covered with lyrics and to be honest, they were amazing. I am definitely confronting him about this later on. Why didn't they tell me about their band and why didn't they tell me where they were going today? They said the meeting wouldn't be on for long but they've been gone for over three hours. Where are they?
I sat in the sitting room for a while thinking about reasons why they didn't but I gave up and decided to have some fun.
The guys have a great sound system here so I wanted to try it out and play 'Future Hearts'. When 'Kids In The Dark' came on I jumped for joy and began to dance around like a mad woman. You could say its one of my favourite songs on the album. I am literally the worst dancer in the world but I don't even care, sure no one can see me anyway. When the song got to the chorus I began to sing along at the top of my voice. I am so thankful that no one is here to witness this. When the song had ended all that I could hear was clapping.
I whipped my head back to see the guys with others with big grins on their faces.
"Oh fuck" was all I could say while I ran over to the CD player to turn off the music. I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me right then and there. Christ that was embarrassing.
"You must be Bree, it's great to meet you." a strangely familiar guy walked up to me offering me his hand.
"Ya I am, I'm so sorry that you had to witness that. I'm so embarrassed, I didn't think anyone would be back yet." Three other guys joined in on the conversation.
"No need to be, you put on some show." In embarrassment I covered my face with my hands and muttered a curse under my breath. Looking up at the four boys I recognised who they were. I am such an idiot.
"Shit....oh my god, you....you guys are The Vamps!!! Oh my god I'm such an idiot...." I just made a fool of myself in front The Vamps... Kill me now!!
"What are you guys doing here?" I felt an arm go over my shoulders.
"Bree we need to tell you something." I sat on the sofa while the guys and The Vamps looked down at me. I really wish that I was wearing something nicer and didn't look like a homeless person.
"Well..." Drew began to speak but I cut him off.
"Has this got something to do with your band?" A look of confusion was on all of their faces.
"How did you-"
"I have my sources." I say simply, not wanting to tell them that I went into their rooms.
"Oh...well yes it does.." Levi had taken over for Drew. "...the meeting we had today was with The Vamps and their manager." Still confused I asked
"But why did you have a meeting with them?"
"Well....they signed us to their record label." my jaw hit the floor when he mentioned the record deal.
"Are you guys serious?! That's great news!" I brought the two bands in for a hug.
"We're taking you guys out for a night of partying so go get ready fast and we'll leave." Conor told us. Realising that I didn't have that much time I tried to squeeze my way out of the group hug.
"Everyone out of the way, I need to get readyyyyy!" They all laughed at my attempts but eventually they let me out.
Not wanting to look like a slob on front of all of the guys I picked out a black leather skater skirt and a black crop top paired with a pair of pumps with a small wedge on them because if I wore really tall heels I would look like a giraffe cause of my height. I topped up my makeup and put on some eyeshadow, giving myself a smokey eye look and put on a nude shade of lipstick. Before we left for the club I threw on a statement necklace and grabbed my clutch.

The club that our taxis dropped us off at was overflowing with people. Even though we were under age we got in with no trouble. Music pulses through the place and the moving lights are twisting and turning in time to it. The atmosphere was electrifying. The minute I walked into the club I headed up straight to the bar and order myself some shots
"Not wasting any time I see." a voice says in my ear. I turn to see Bradley leaning against the bar looking at me with a smirk.
"Well what can I say, I'm Irish." The bartender came with my shots but before I could pay for them Bradley had already handed over money.
"You didn't need to do that."
"I know I didn't need to, I wanted to." I felt my cheeks warm up at his words.

He ordered a drink for himself and we spend a while chatting. I was just after my fourth shot when he led me to the dance floor.
"I am such a bad dancer so I apologise right now if you end up in hospital." He chuckled at my comment. At the other side of the club I could see Drew and Austin chatting up a group of girls while Nate was off dancing with a cute brunette. Tristan, James and Conor were taking shots at the bar. I did a quick scan of the club but I couldn't see Levi. Where did he go?

Rihanna came on and we began to dance. I had no clue what I was doing so I just copied what the other girls were doing. I didn't want to make a fool of myself again. I mustn't have sucked too bad because he put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
Our faces were literally inches from each other. Oh god, is he gonna kiss me?....crap what will I do?
That question was answered when he leaned in and closed the gap between us.......
