4 - Meet up

"Here's your ticket." Emma said while handing me my train ticket. The meet up was planned in another city, so we had to take the train for at least thirty minutes. We walked into the train and took our seats. Emma had insisted that I'd brind my guitar, so that we could sing songs with everyone. I placed my guitar on the seat next to me, since most of the seats were empty, so no one would need it.

I was wearing a white shirt with the text 'lol ur not calum hood' printed on it. Calum is my favorite. I've always been a Calum girl and I wasn't planning on switching lanes any time soon. His smile gives me goosebumps and don't get me started on his eyes - damn - And well, I must say I wasn't that mad when his nudes got leaked... I'll shut up, I could talk about this for hours.

Emma was wearing a 5sos shirt and we were also both wearing black skinny jeans and a flannel. The fam needs to be able to recognize us, am I right?

I felt a bit nervous, meet ups weren't really my thing since I can be really shy around new people. People always think I'm very arrogant because I don't say much at the beginning. But now that I have Emma by my side, things will be okay, I guess. We may not know each other for that long, but I can already see that Emma's a very spontaneous person. Like, when Mike tweeted me, she just ran up to me screaming which is not something I would ever do.

"What are you thinking about?" Emma looked at me. She sat in the seat across me and was listening to music with only one earphone in. It was so loud, I could recognize Greenday's Wake Me Up When September Ends by the soft notes I could hear. Her question shocked me out of my thought. "Oh, nothing, really." I looked up at her from the window. "Are you looking forward to it?" I asked, though the answer was quite obvious.

"Hell yes, I am! What about you? I'm pretty sure everyone is excited to meet you too. I mean, it's a 5sos meet up, but everyone knows you. Mostly because of Mikey's tweet. I bet some were already fans before that!" She said and smiled widely. I could feel my cheeks burn and I looked down at my knees. I never was really good at talking about myself; it always makes me a bit uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I guess." I mumbeled to my knees, ending the conversation there. Why am I always so awkward?

We walked out of the trainstation to the square that was very nearby. When we arrived, a girl immediatly ran up to us.

"OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU'RE THAT GIRL!" Surpised by her sudden move, I took a step back and saw that, because of her screaming, all the girls that were already here came running to us too.

"Uh yeah, I guess I am that girl?" I said, more as a question than a statement. The other girls were now standing with us, asking me all a load of questions, like "Can you say hi to Luke for me?" "Did they all follow you?" "OMG are we gonna sing songs together?" "Are you gonna put us in a video?" They honestly scared the shit out of me. Maybe the boys feel like this when all the fans 'attack' them for a photo. Now I feel really bad for camping at their hotel last year.

"Jesus guys, relax, let's just sing some songs or something." Emma came from behind me, trying to help. Luckily, everyone backed off and they sat down onto the ground. So did Emma and I, and i picked up my guitar.

"Wait, can I film this for my YouTube channel?" I asked and everyone got excited and shouted 'yes' or nodded in agreement. I laid down my guitar case onto the ground and let my phone stand on it, so that it could film the group.

"Okay, let's do it!" I smiled. I sat down and grabbed my guitar.
"I hope you all know the lyrics, 'cause this is my favorite!" and I play a G chord.

Six weeks since I've been away

Now you're saying everything has changed

And I'm afraid that I might be losing you

Everybody sang along and it all just sounded so beautiful together. Random people stopped walking and stood still for a second, to watch us. Some threw money on my guitar case, which wasn't my intention at all, and I wanted to tell them to take it back, but then I'd have to stop everyone from singing. When the song was over, circa thirty people were standing by us and they clapped and cheered loudly. We all smiled and decided to play some more songs.

After She Looks So Perfect, Unpredictable, Voodoo Doll, Rejects and Wrapped Around Your Finger, we were all kind of done with the singing and the organizer of the meet up had made a quiz which we were going to do.

"Okay, if the answer is Calum, you walk there." Rebecca, the organizer, said while pointing to a tree. "If the answer is Ashton, you go there, Michael is there and Luke there." She explained. "I'm gonna say some quotes and you have to guess who said it."

"So, I think you all know this one, it's from a live stream, 'I do what I want, I'm punk rock!'" We all smirked and everyone ran to the spot that was appointed for Michael.

"Mom, I'm home!" I shouted from the hallway, where I hung my jacket on the coatrack and kicked off my Vans. When I walked into the kitchen I saw my mom standing next to the counter with a nervous, big smile on her face, as if she was trying to hide something.

"Mom, are you okay?" I asked, but I could see my little brother trying to smuggle a big, black suitcase up the stairs in the corner of my eye. Mom tried to stop me, but she was too late. I ran upstairs, grabbing the suitcase out of my brother's hands, ran to my room and locked it. You could say I'm the curious type of person.

I opened the suitcase, hoping to find a secret present that my mom maybe bought early for my birthday but no. In the suitcase were black man jeans, some black shirts and toothbrush. What the hell? Does my mom have a secret boyfriend I don't know about?

Slightly upset, I ran downstairs and threw the suitcase to my mom. "Is someone sleeping at ours?" I said in a frustrated tone. "Not today, but in four days." My mom said quietly. "But that's on my birthday! That you have a some kind of boyfriend I don't know about is one thing, but he is NOT staying over on my birthday!" I yelled. She just stood there smiling stupidly. I ran upstairs and slammed the door of my room.

My mom and I don't fight a lot. It's just that my birthday is my favorite day of the year, because I get to see everyone in my family again, which doesn't happen very often. Ever since my parents got divorced, our family has become a little awkward and doesn't come over that much. I really don't want my mom to ruin it.
