The First Time (5sos fic)

Chapter 12

Casey POV

June 3,2015. School has ended for summer break. That meant we had to sign labels, do concerts, make more videos and do a photo shoot.

Calum and the band have been gone for about a week for their tour and it's killing me. I'm glad that I have friends here. But we barley talk, it's all about school and boyfriends anymore. The band itself is successful so Macy told us to take some time off before the shoot tomorrow.

I sigh at my empty room. I look down at my journalists note book I bought. My article did so well that Mac wants me to do another one about size doesn't matter. But that's the thing, we live in a society that size does matter. That shouldn't change who we are though.

It's due sometime next week and I can already tell I'm screwed. Agh!! My life couldn't get any better can it, oh wait it can.

KNOCK
KNOCK

"Come in" I say as someone was knocking on my door.

"Hey" Chloe walked in with a plate of mash potatoes.

"Is that yours or mine" I asked. I take a look at her out fit, she's wearing a NYU hoodie with some athletical leggings. Her hair in a messy bun an her skin back to looking flawless.

"Mine, yours is in the fridge. I came here to ask if you were okay" Chloe sat down on my chair right by my desk and started eating.

"Yeah, why wouldn't be" I lied. I still had what happen with Harry and me stuck in my head. Then I'm constantly making sure everyone eats. Then I have this fucking paper I have to write for school and Teen Rouge.

"Harry told me" she whispered. I sigh and shake my head. I don't want to cry. That same night I cried and cried about what happen. Calum thought it was the date. The date was perfect, I told him that Harry lied to me. He didn't ask any further questions. I remembered I cried every night, wishing and hoping it'll get better. It's been a week now, a week of wondering what would happen and how I can live knowing I destroyed someone over time.

"He told you"

"Yeah, how he had feelings and it sucks that you don't have the same feelings for him. He said he messed up by telling you he'll stay away"

"I didn't want him to stay away" I replied.

"But he needed to, other wise he'll have to look at you and Calum making out or holding hands. Things he wanted to do with you" why does it always seem that Chloe or El have the answers to everything. I stay silent and she takes that as her cue to leave.

I, once again, look down at my note book. I begin to write.

Size doesn't matter.

You might think that this article is unreal, that it can't be true. That's what I thought in the beginning. It's not because I don't agree with it, it's more like no matter how much we like to think its not true that size matters, society says otherwise.

Size shouldn't matter on, if you like someone or just plain out want to be friends. We live in a world where there's a standard to be in or just to be accepted.

Here's my tip to you. Know this, no matter how much I or someone else in the world says it doesn't matter it ain't going to changed you. We could only inspire you to do great things. You have to believe that size does not matter. This isn't some quote just so I can get paid to do my job. I'm here telling you this now to help, hopefully, all of you. Society should be the enemy, not your body. -Journalist and current band member, Casey James.

My phone rings next to me. I pick it up to see its Macy.

Macy-Hey girl. Gr8 news!!! One of you three get to be on television to introduce the carnival in New York. You three have to pick one though.
