Pt 4 - Don't be so unladylike, it's rude and hurts the environment
"I think we should all go down to the basement and brain storm band names while we wait for Hunter to arrive" I say standing up and carrying my glass of chocolate milk down to the basement, flicking on the lights when we get down there and moving to stand in the middle of the room with Seren and Carri as Bromance look around in awe. I'm actually really proud of this place. When Seren, Carri, Hunter and I decided we wanted to make a band and make it serious my parents gave us the basement and told us to do what we wanted with it. It took a couple years of working in McDonalds for all of us to be able to afford everything we wanted in here. Our parents bought us some of the instruments, amps and recording equipment but we paid for most of it which I guess is why it's so special to us. It's also the place we use if we're having sleepovers or anything of the like.
"This place is amazing" Ashton says running his fingertips over the skin of one of my drums while Luke fangirls over a signed ATL poster. Calum picks up Seren's bass which she's covered in song lyrics in rainbow sharpie.
"Careful with that" she says swooping in and putting it back on its stand "it took me ages to be able to afford that and I'd rather you didn't break it or ruin the song lyrics in any, way shape or form"
"You guys have some pretty cool guitars" Michael says looking at the ones hanging on the wall "how long did it take you to make this place?" he asks me as I flop down on one of the worn out couches in front of the small TV we've got going on. I shrug and look over at him
"You'd have to ask Hunter but I would say a few years" I tell him, scooting up the couch a bit so Seren can sit down next to me
"It's worth all the work though, this place is like our second home" Carri says sitting down on a bean bag and grabbing a pad of paper and a pen "everybody sit down, we need to talk band names"
The boys all take seats on the various chairs, bean bags and the other couch in the room "Alright just shoot me ideas and I'll write them down" Carri tells us, smiling round at everyone and clicking the top of her pen so it'll write.
We bounce ideas back and forth for a while, having a good laugh with each other and bonding quite well if you ask me.
"Lukey I'm hungry" Michael whines as they look over the list of names, highlighting the ones they like the sound of
"Go ask the girls for something, I don't know where the kitchen is and if you didn't already notice I'm a little bit busy" Luke says looking down at Michael as he highlights another name. Michael groans and points to a random name
"Look, 5 Seconds of Summer" He says "can you get me something to eat now?" he whines while Luke, Calum and Ashton look between each other
"That isn't a bad name actually" Luke says looking down at it
"It beats Bromance that's for sure" I chuckle as I look through our movie collection for something to watch after band practice
"I really like that actually" Ashton smiles and Calum nods
"So we can all agree that we're gonna be 5 Seconds of Summer now" Luke says and all the boys nod, wrapping their arms around each other for band cuddles which are essential after every big band meeting or decision
"We've just witnessed something beautiful" I say placing a hand on my heart
"We need to put this shit on the calendar, 5sos day" Carri exclaims getting up and writing it on the One Direction calendar we have on the wall, Hunter picked it this year but it's my turn next year and I've already seen an amazing Dolly Parton one.
"5sos?" Luke asks looking up at Carri confused. I genuinely think that's Luke's default facial expression, he's either smiling, pouting or confused as fuck. Not that there's anything wrong with that it makes him an easier person to read and that's nice for people like me who aren't good with other human beings.
"Yes 5sos" Carri nods, chucking Michael a bag of Doritos as she sits down again "it's for people like me who can't be bothered to say 5 Seconds of Summer because they could be using the breath used to say that to fangirl over Andrew Garfield" she tells him and Seren snorts which makes me slap her arm
"Don't be so unladylike" I say looking up at her accusingly "it's rude and hurts the environment" I huff and she gives me a 'what the fuck is wrong with you' look but she knows better than to question what I'm saying. She's about to apologise when the door opens and Hunter walks in, still wearing his work clothes.
"Hunnies I'm home" he sings, hugging us all before lying across me and Seren's laps "who are they?" he asks gesturing to Bromance, I honestly don't think I'll ever call them anything other than that to be honest.
"That's Calum, Michael, Luke and Ashton" I inform him, pointing to each boy as I say their names "more commonly known as the grumpy Asian, highlighter hair, Breadstick Boy and the drummer"
"For fucks sake Espen I'm not Asian" Calum says glaring at me while I giggle at him. I find pissing Calum the most fun because it really doesn't take much and his angry face is so cute, he looks like an angry marshmallow if you can imagine that then we're on the same wave length
"I'm gonna go get changed" Hunter says getting up "band practice then pizza and movies?" he asks as he walks back in the general direction of the stairs so he can get changed in my room. We all have clothes at each others houses since we spend so much time with each other. Most clothing ends up at my house since this is where we have band practice and since my mum doesn't mind washing all the clothing left behind. We also make a point to buy band shirts in Hunter's size so they fit everyone.
We all make sounds of agreement to his proposal and I turn to Bromance
"You guys in?" I ask looking down at them "you guys are friends now, you can stay if you want" I smile and they all nod happily, Luke singing 'Dear Maria Count Me In' quietly, Carri joins in and soon we're all having an ATL rave in the basement, dancing around and singing at the top of our lungs. When we get to the end of the song we all collapse on the floor together and laugh, Ashton giggling more than laughing to be honest.
