Adopted by Luke

Pictures

Ashton's pov.

"Ok it's ready"
I spread the pictures in the floor, and stared at them as they all walked in.

"This one is my personal favorite."
I held up the picture of me in the same style that Taylor swifts new album was.
(Ya see what I did there?) 😉

"Haha, very funny, but no. maybe in the booklet behind the cover."
Michael didn't find my good looks funny.

"What's going on?"
Natalie came into the room, and sat on the floor across from me.

"We are going through the pictures we took last month, so we can pick a cover for our our next album."
I started to explain what was going on.

"Oh, why is there so many?"
She began to pick some up

"Well, we have to make a little book, that goes inside our cd case, and it holds pictures of us, and lyrics, and who wrote the song, stuff like that, but there has to be a picture on each page."

"But there are some with different style tally marks, what's that for?"

I started explaining how 5 seconds of summer's label was tally marks.

"Why is there 5 if there is only 4 of you guys?"

"I'll tell you about that later ok?"
Luke interrupted.

"I um...I gotta go."
I couldn't stand sitting there anymore, with every fiber in my body aching for something that was ripped away.

I went to my room and decided to get my mind off these things. so, I started thinking of lyrics, and writing them down. losing track of time, I fell asleep on the floor, next to my bed.

Natalie's pov.

"Why is there 5 if there is only 4 of you guys?"
This was so confusing to me.

"I'll tell you about that later ok?"
Luke interrupted

Oh that was none of my beeswax...

Ashton stood up and left saying he needed to go, my first thought...bathroom

Michael looked at me with a curious look as if he where saying 'how could you' in his mind.
He got up and went to the kitchen, not coming back.

Then it was just me Luke and Calum.

Getting weird, I went up to my room, to get more familiar with my phone, in case of emergency. I closed my door, and sat on my bed.

Soon I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in."

I heard the door handle jiggle but Michael walked through the door.

"Hey."

"Hey."

He got close and sat on my bed sorta across from me, looked like he was about to fall off.

"I um, I just wanted to make sure you new about why there is only 4 of us, and why there is 5 tally marks on our pictures."

"No you don't have to, that's none of my business, I didn't realize I was asking so many questions, until he left. sorry."
Feeling stupid, he kinda got a little closer

"It's ok, I just want you to know."

I put the phone down and started to listen

"First off, it looks cool,"

We both chuckled

"Second ... I'm sure Luke already told you about Kayla"

"Who?"

"Kayla was his girlfriend."

"Oh, I didn't know that was her name."

"Yeah...she was actually our first lead singer, doing solos, and even sing with Luke all the time. they where like best friends. So, it made since to name the band '5 seconds of Summer' because there was 5 of us, but now there is only 4"

"Oh wow...that's deep"
I looked down at my phone, looking at the time.

"Yeah...but I guess good things can't last forever right?"

I stared at him for a long time, until I snapped out of it.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah sorry I just, I say that all the time."
I was speaking rubbish in my mind

"Do you like, wanna go take a walk or something...get to know each other a little better?"

"Sure."

"Ok, how about in ...1 hour?"

"Sounds good."

"No"
He looked like he was enjoying what was going on in his head.

"I have a better idea!"

"What?"

"I'll be back, in going to go get some things! We will stay here and talk, I just have to ask Luke about this."

"About what?"

"Have you ever died your hair?"

Uh oh.
