1.9 Epilouge

Third Person Point Of View

5 years later

Laughing along with her friend Rebecca, Ariel takes off her black cap and gown and sets it on her bed.

"I can't believe we finished college. It seemed like these years went by quick!" Rebecca almost yells at Ariel.

Ariel laughs even harder checking her phone and frowning.

"What's wrong A?"

"I'm meeting with some old friends tomorrow night." She looks at Rebecca and smiles. "If you want you can come with. It's probably gonna be really awkward." She lets out a laugh.

Rebecca wiggles her eyebrows and licks her lips. "I get to meet the famous Luke Hemmings."

"You get to meet all my friends from Senior year."

"But they're in the band! 5 seconds of fucking summer."

"They left me before senior year ended to go on tour." Ariel shakes her head. "He doesn't even know about it."

"You can just say baby." Rebecca rolls her eyes. "Where is that little stinker anyway?"

Ariel laughs again. "My adorable little son isn't a stinker. And he's with Luke's mom. They should be coming here soon."

There's noises from outside the apartment and Ariel opens the door picking up her son. "Hello Noah." Ariel says wrapping her arms around the boy.

Noah gives a toothy grin towards her, "Hey momma. Guess what tomorrow is!"

"What's tomorrow?" Ariel asks curiously, already knowing what it is.

"It's my birthday! I'll be five!"

Ariel smiles once again setting him down. " I have a surprise for you."

Noah gasps and jumps around clapping his hands smiling. "What is it? Can I get it today?! Pleaseeee??"

"It's coming in from Australia tomorrow." She looks at Rebecca and back at Luke's mom. "Thank you for watching him mom."

Mrs. Hemmings nods her head, "It was a very important day for you. He was so excited to see you on the stage."

Ariel looks at Noah and he grins before Rebecca picks him up upside down.

He starts screaming really loud making Ariel laugh.

Tears start to fill her eyes and she walks to the kitchen grabbing a tissue off the side table and dabbing her eyes.

"Honey what's wrong?" Mrs. Hemmings asks.

"I miss him so much."

"I know. I do to. Has he talked to you since the fight?"

She shakes her head.

"Call Calum and see if you guys are still meeting at the park."

Ariel nods her head and heads into her bedroom , shutting the door and taking off her peach mid thigh dress. She changes into something more comfortable like yoga pants and one of Luke's old band tees and dials Calum's number.

Meanwhile on the bus with the 4 boys.

They're talking about everything other than home. Since they know they'll be there soon enough.

Calum's phone starts beeping and he heads to the back of the bus where there's hardly any noise.
