Ash's Point of View

"So, girls..." Luke begins, linking fingers with me. " We have something to tell you.
Calum glances nervously at Abbey who puts her hand on his knee. She whispers something in his ear. He grins.
"And you are planning to tell us in the foreseeable future," I tease.
"We have been invited on a tour, " Luke says slowly.
"Are we going to Melbourne?!?" Kate squeals.
"No." Ashton replies. "We're going to the USA."
"OMG! Congrats!" Abbey exclaims.
"We'll miss you though." I say glumly.
"Pfffff. I don't think you will." Micheal says.
"We SO will, what would we do-" I begin before Ashton cuts me off.
"You won't because the hosts are paying for our trips."
"And.." I say.
"They're paying for yours too." Calum says, squeezing Abbey's hand.
"OMG." says Abbey.
"No way." Kate exclaims.
"This cannot be happening" I squeal.

Abbey's Point of View

Kate's Point of View
I cannot believe what just happened. I am going. To. America. I stare into Ashton's eyes and press my lips in to his. When we pull away, I see Luke, Ash, Callum and Abbey doing the same. Michael stares awkwardly at his hands. Poor Mikey Bear, it wasn't his fault that awful girlfriend of his was such a cheat. She showed her true colours to everyone. Except Michael. He only found out 2 weeks ago; the day they broke up.
"Cheer up mate, maybe you'll find a chick in LA." ‭Luke smirks, "maybe you'll find another pizza fanatic." He stares at the two empty boxes beside Mikey.
"I was hungry. Gee." He sticks his hands up in mock defence.
"Anyway, Kate and I had better get going." Ashton says, glancing at his watch.
"Us too," Calum says. The other three agree in various ways and we pack up the table and walk out the door.

Abbey's Point of View

I couldn't believe it. I was going to America. With Calum.

When we got home, Calum anxiously stared and waited for me to say something.
"Cal, what's wrong babe?"
"D-Do you like the idea of going to LA?"
"Are you kidding, I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun!"
"Baby, I was so glad when they told me you could come! I was just worried you wouldn't want to come."
"Cal you are my bæ, I will always support you."
He leans in and gives me a hug, before pressing his lips into mine. We stand there for some time. When we pull away, he says
"We were planning to go out to a bar tonight... But if you want to grab some pizza we can always cancel..."
"Me! Miss a night out. Never!" I grin, " "besides I wouldn't want to disappoint the boys."
