A week later, I get a text from Luke in the middle of a Music lesson at college.

We have some exciting news to tell you and Izzy x ;)

I smile down at my phone screen and immediately text back:

Ooooooo i'm excited now xx

When he doesn't reply, I put my phone back into my pocket and get on with editing my final track.


At the end of the day I meet Izzy, and we walk back to my house. Alex would usually come, but he said he had some revising to do for an upcoming test. When we get home, I pull out my phone and show her the text. "Exciting. Let's Skype them!" She pulls her laptop from her bag, and excitedly logs onto Skype. I run to the kitchen to get some snacks, and quickly make my way back to Izzy. "They're taking a while to pick up." Izzy says, texting Ashton. "Are you sure there not recording in the studio or something?" I ask, but she shakes her head. "No, Ashton says there at ho-"

"Hiiiiiii." Calum says on Skype. I jump, and drop the glass of water I was carrying. "Shit." I say, and run to get a towel and broom. While i'm sweeping the broken bits of glass up, I hear Ashton, Luke, Michael and Calum updating Izzy on what they've been doing all week. They're life sounds so much less stressful than ours. We still get to play big venues like them, but we're also studying. Studying on its own is fucking hard enough. I sit down, and quickly apologise for taking so long.

"So, we have some good news to tell you guys." Michael says, rubbing his hands together. They all smile and look at each other... Calum suddenly asks "Where's Alex, he suggested the whole thing?" I stare in surprise at them, feeling sad that of all the days Alex isn't here- it's today. "He's revising." Izzy, says looking back at me. I just shrug my shoulders, and look back at the boys. "Oh, well say thank you to him after you hear this." I nod my head, and look across at Luke. He's smiling and curled up at the end of the sofa. The thing that I love about Skype, is you can't tell who's looking at you and who isn't; I just continue to smile at him the whole time. "Well, we were thinking." Ashton says, and laughs looking at Luke. "We still need a band to open for us on our Uk/Australia tour." I suddenly realise where they're going with this and look up at Izzy. She stares at me and squeals. "And we were thinking, what better than have your guys open for us. It will be really good publicity for your music, you guys are sick and you deserve this." They all smile at us. "Oh my god!" I say quietly, and Izzy just laughs. "Also, the tour lasts all summer so you won't miss out in any of your college classes." Luke says, giving me a wink as if he knows what I was just about to ask that. "We've sent all the details to Alex, and he'll give you and your parents a copy. It states the dates of all the shows and where they are; who'll be looking after us and all the fights, plus the costs of everything." Michael exclaims looking back up from his phone. "Thank you so much, of course we'll do it!" Izzy says, and the boys cheer while I just dorkily smile at the laptop screen. I grab my phone off the table and open my messages. I click on Alex's contact...

You have no idea how much I love you! I can't believe you planned us to go on tour with 5sos it's amazinggggg x Plus, they're great friends... we're gonna have so so so much fun !!!!

I look back up at the boys who are tweeting the news to their fans, Izzy is doing the same but on her twitter account. "Hey, should we meet up tomorrow after college?" Luke stares at me and I feel like there is no one there for a moment. "That's such a good idea." He replys, running a hand through his hair. He looks tired again, and I want to reach through the screen and hug him. I just want to know that someone is looking after him. He's still only 17, and even though he's old enough to look after himself, I would be upset if my parents weren't around to even tell me off for something. Plus, Luke is extremely fragile and you can tell when he's pissed or sad about something. "You can come round to mine?" I suggest, and Asthon nods his head in agreement. "Ok, cool. See you guys tomorrow then?" Izzy asks, and they all say yes, and we hang up.


I stare at Izzy. " We're finally going on tour!" I shout, and Izzy jumps up from the sofa pulling me with her. I scream and laugh, as we jump around the room like crazy seven year olds. "I can't wait to see Ashton." Izzy says, as we sit back down and put some music on. "I can't wait to see Luke." I say, and she smiles at me. "Come on, lets go practice." She says, getting her drumsticks out of her bag. We walk into the music room.
