Me and Izzy walked onto stage. 

We had this... we were going to win. 

My hands were shaking slightly becuase the crowd was bigger than I thought it would be. I could see a lot of teenage girls holding 5sos signs in the air, and I could tell they weren't here for us. Oh well, maybe they would end up liking us anyway. 

I plugged my black Gibson Les Paul  in, and Izzy sat down at her drum kit. I walked up to the microphone  and took a deep breath. "Helllooooo London, who wants to listen to some fucking good music?" I shouted. I could hear my voice amplify round the whole room, and everyone screamed... even the front row girls holding 5sos posters- Now that made me smile. 

Izzy counted us in, and we dove into the song. I felt my fingers move fast along the strings, and felt the madly, loud drumming go right through me. I sung so much better than in any of our band rehearsals, and felt myself smile when I noticed Alex, Luke and Ashton watching from the side of the stage. Alex started dancing, and Luke winked at me before walking away. We continued to finsish the song, and as soon as I played the last chord (Gmajor to be specific) ... everyone was screaming. 

"Thank you." I said into the miscrophone before walking off. 

As soon as I walked off stage, I fell into a group hug with Alex and Izzy. "God, you guys were so good. I love you two." Alex said into Izzy's shoulder, and I laughed and put my guitar down. I loved them both too, they were honestly my bestest (not a word I know) friends. 

"You guys sounded wicked!" Ashton exclaimed, walking out from behind Alex. "Thanks, it means a lot." Izzy said, and Ashton smiled at her. I could see something going on between them, everytime Ashton was around, Izzy seemed to blush a ridiculous shade of crimson. Alex didn't get it and decided to ruin the moment... "Come on you two, you better get sorted before they anounce the winners." Izzy waved, and all three of us walked into the changing rooms. 

20 MINS LATER...

"And the winner of the 2015 Battle of the Bands is... 5 Seconds of Summer." 

I looked at Izzy, and she just shrugged and pulled me into a hug. "Oh well, we'll try next year." Izzy whispered, and I tried a pathetic attempt at smiling. I was gutted, this was the first time since we had entered that we hadn't won. I guess I always guessed 5sos were going to win this one. Their fanbase has been spreading from Australia, all the way to parts of the UK and even some parts of America. Me and Izzy had only started a few years ago, and have only just finished building up a strong fanbase in the UK. We needed a bigger band to tour with. That's what we  have been building up to for a while now. I mean, we've recorded half of our first album, but we need to advertise it somehow...

5sos took their trophy, said 'thanks' and came over to us. I looked up at Luke, but he wasn't looking at me. Instead, he was looking at the floor and fiddling with his fingers. Did that wink even mean anything, or was he just playing?

 "Well done you two, you deserved to win that just at much as we did." Calum said, smiling at us, and everyone nodded in agreement. Izzy was staring at Ashton, and he was staring back. I mean, of course at least one of them would fall for Izzy. Infact, i'm surprised that none of them have jumped at the oppertunity of asking her out... boys always ask her out. I could see Ashton and Izzy becoming a really cute couple... 

When I glanced back at Luke, he was looking at me. He gave me a small smile, and walked away from the group. "Luke?" I said, and walked away too...
