Little anxiety

Chapter 14 - Lady friends

Calum's POV

Tonight was Little Anxiety's gig and all the boys were going, I said I had to stay home and study (lies). The boys were walking out the door after hours of getting ready, Michael said he had to look 'pretty' for Bethany and any other fine girls there. After that Ashton complained about how Michael was cheating on him and stormed out the door before the rest.

It had been ten minutes since they left, they were going to get there early so they could meet the girls without 'all the girls crazy fans'. I really wanted to go but Shay would be there and I can't let anyone find out how I felt. Wait the boys never mentioned were exactly the girls were playing, I could act like I came for a drink and didn't know they were playing, but stay because I was already there. Fuck yes!

I called one of my 'lady friends' for company ; ) it's not like I want to make Shay jealous, right.

Shay's POV

Tonight was the night, and we were getting ready.
"We are gonna rock the stage and the pants of 5sos!" She yelled applying our signature red lipstick. The girls had already had a few drinks, it was normal before a big performance just to loosen yourself up a bit. I on the other hand was the designated driver for the night and I didn't enjoy drinking as much as the other girls. I had been surrounded by parties and drunks my entire life, I probably saw my first joint or Bon at age 1. Why, you ask because my dad was a DJ/producer/musician.

"Yo Shay get your fine ass out here and tell me how I look!" Holly yelled from the bedroom whilst I was in the bathroom. Putting my mascara down I walked out dramatically sticking out my butt.
"Yup" I said looking her up and down.
"Girl didn't you hear me, I didn't ask for you I asked for your ass" Holly said shaking her head.
"Well fine, it's better to ask something that looks more like your face than something as beautiful as me" I stated pouting at her rejection.
"Well lucky you have a fine ass" Bethany laughed as she walked into the bedroom.
"Hahah alright you guys stop discussing Shay's fine ass, there's gonna be enough boys discussing it tonight as it is" Abby laughed "plus we need to leave".
"Who know this ass might get you guys a record deal" I stated and walked out to the garage to start the van. The girls followed and we jumped in the car.
My first kiss went a little like this

We sung at the top of our lungs before pulling into the large garage surrounded by fields. We were here 20 minutes earlier than we needed to, before we had to do sound checks. Pulling out my books and laptop I buckled down to study in the corner of the garage. You might be thinking why the fuck is she studying when she should be partying and getting ready for her 'big break'. Well I have to get amazing grades in English especially because if my music career with the band doesn't work out I have to have other options. And now you may be thinking why the fuck does she have so little faith in the amazing band. It's because I have been surrounded by musicians and the music industry my entire life and I have seen even the best musicians fail. I just want a backup plan, I didn't see what's so bad about that.

Calum's POV

I was only just now arriving at the gig and it was already packed. I spotted Ashtons car and parked next to it so it would be easier later tonight. Hopping out of the car I got some lustful looks from a couple of girls walking in to the large garage. But the lust was quickly exchanged with annoyance as Courtney stepped out of the car. Courtney and I had only recently met at a party but hit it off and we now hung out a lot. This was now the 6th party I had taken her to and she new my routine, sadly tonight I wasn't here for her. I wrapped my arm around Courtney and she giggled, like a little school girl (still manlier than Ashton though). Ugh pathetic I hate when girls giggle and flirt with anything that has a dick. Stepping through the entrance I spotted the bar and quickly headed over, I needed the sweet relief of alcohol right now. 

"Calum is that you?" I heard a familiar voice shout from behind me. Looking around I came to face Luke and Michael not far behind him. 

"umm I'm sorry I think you have the wrong person" I said ducking my head trying to avoid eye contact. Shit, I can't believe they found me so quick, not that I was hiding I just wanted to have a drink first.

"seriously Calum I know that's you" Luke whined. 

"No it's not me, now go away, you have the wrong person" I said, shaking my head viciously. He took my head in between his gigantic hands and shook my head whilst Michael tickled me. Oh go this was embarrassing please God send and angle to save me. 

"Calum we know it's you, I would know that ass anywhere!" Luke shouted as Michael checked out my ass. If people don't know we were friends and weird ones they would definitely think we were a gay couple.

"What the fuck guys" I heard a female voice say "get of Robbert!" it said this time raising her voice. Luke and Michael stopped and turned around letting me see who it's was... Sadly. 

"Shay!" Michael yelled pulling into a hug. 

"yeah yeah hello to you too" she said with a bored expression on her face "go backstage the girls are looking for you" she demanded after pulling away from the hug. Pulling away from a hug from 5sos, now that has never been seen before. They abide after hearing the other girls are waiting for them and quickly scurry off. 

"See ya Robbert, sorry about harassing you and all you just really look like our friend" Michael quickly apologies before waddling away towards Bethany. I turned to Shay who was ordering a water at the bar, a water seriously. Giving her a once over (actually twice over I just had to look at her again) I noticed she was holding a set of books in her hand, like school books. WTF, after she got her water she began to walk away. Haha not so fast ( I have always wanted to say that! well I thought it but..), I  grabbed her hand pulling her into the pulled out chair next to me.

"what?" she asked annoyance clearly creeping into her voice

"umm.. thanks for that" I said shyly "wait why did you even help me" I asked now coming to my senses in confusion.

"you looked like you didn't want to be bothered and it was clear they weren't going away so I helped you" she stated taking a sip of her water.

"I thought you hated me why would you help me?" I asked, now only more confused.

"I don't hate you, just strongly dislike you but that doesn't mean I can't help you out" she said this time some emotion flashed on her face, I just couldn't tell what.

"so what are the books for?" I asked hoping to change this uncomfortable subject.

"I have a english test monday and I need to ace it" she replied looking down at her book.

"Yeah but why are you studying at a party, especially one that your playing at?" I asked again.

"ugh, enough with all the questions, your friends are in the back go hang out with them alright, I have better things to do" she demanded her annoyance back.

"bye Robbert" she said turning to walk away. Well there goes my peaceful night. Courtney on the other hand seemed to be having a blast, with another man. 

Hahaha so much ASS talk in this chapter.
