Jackson's pov
I went to my Ellen interview and was waiting to be called up on stage.
"Now please welcome rising star Jackson Danielson!"
I walk on stage and hug Ellen.
"Hello Jackson!"
"Hi Ellen!"
"You were so lovely to talk to, so sweet and your accent is lovely."
"Aww thank you so much!"
"So you are on tour with fifth harmony!"
"Yes!"
"What's that like?"
"It's a lot of fun the girls are so amazing! I love them they're so much fun to hang with and be around."
"Jasmine V?"
"A sweetheart absolute sweetheart! She so kind and welcoming. She was a little shy at first but wouldn't anyone be you know being on tour with Fifth harmony and all but she's lovely."
"Shawn Mendes?"
"Hoi that's my buddy. My best friend right there. We're the only guys on the tour and were outnumbered 2-6 so we have to stick together. He's a cool guy fun to hang with and amazing musician."
"So has anyone on the tour pissed you off?"
"Yes!"
"Well right to the point!"
"I'm not gonna lie and say that there isn't but yeah there's maybe a person or two who I can not stand. I made a promise to myself never to lie to fans so here I'm being blunt and honest."
"Wow ok so we've been watching your tour diaries and Ms. jauregui makes a continued appearance!"
"Yeah we're close!"
"According to these pictures, it seems like a little more than that!"
She shows a picture of me carrying Lauren in my arms and another where we were hugging and her legs were around my waist. The screen changed and then there was another of her wearing my shirt.
"I told you guys I'm gonna be really honest here. We are dating!"
The crowd cheers.
"So that means there's no chance of Camren?"
"No no there is not, Camila wants to take my girl we can fight!" I say and put up two fists. The crowd laughs of course.
"So who initiated on who first?"
"I don't know I just woke up one day and was like damn she's awesome I want to be her boyfriend and it took a while but I finally succeeded!"
"That's so sweet what was the first thing you liked about her?"
"By far her eyes. The first time I saw them I was mesmerized they were like a pool of green mist that puts you under a spell. I hadn't even met her and I fell in love with her eyes." The crowd coos.
"So you have a new EP coming out in what a week or something?"
"Uh yeah it's called Being Me."
"Ok I like the name."
"It's basically getting across like a message of universal self acceptance and like keep pushing. I just want every kid out there to believe in themselves. It's really personal too so it's like my life or someone really close to me's life."
"It sounded good when I heard it , you're very talented I liked it!"
"Thank you!"
"So we are gonna play a game called never have I ever! Here to play with us is your old friend Miley Cyrus."
"Ok sounds good!" Miley walks out. I don't really know her. I was a small part on her tv show when I was younger. I played like her love interest or something. She sits right next to me and she looks different. She has blonde hair but she cut most of it off. She dressed very....basically she barely had clothes on. I give her hug.
"Good to see you again!" She says.
"You as well!" I tell her.
"Ok so the game goes I say never have I ever blank and you have to hold your paddle up depending on whether or not you've done it.
She hands me a paddle.
"Alright first one. Never have I ever dyed my hair. I put up never. Miley clearly put up she has.
"Really never?"
"No but I totally want to!"
"You should get like Ellen blue!"
"Yes I got you! Ellen blue will be the first color I dye my hair I'm doing it this weekend!" I high five her.
"Next one never have I ever kissed an animal!" I raise the 'I have' side as does Miley.
"What animal have you kissed?"
"Im from Australia I've kissed lizards, crocs, my dog Jax!"
"Aww that's a cute name for a puppy!" Miley coos.
"He's a cute little fella too!"
"Ok but seriously crocodiles?"
"Yeah I was always at this croc and gator bait shop and farm I guess because they did various things with them that my uncle owned when I was younger and they had this big old croc with his jaw like wired shut. So like they didn't let me but they left the room so I took a picture kissing the croc." The crowd laughs.
"Why'd you decide to kiss it?"
"because it's like a crocodile and it can't bite so what else would I do? I had to do something it would usually bite me for!" The crowd laughs again.
"Ok weird but...never have I ever kissed two people in one day!"
I raise the I have.
"Explain!" She says.
"So I was a player in middle school and two girls wanted to date me. I didn't want to so I kissed both girls to see which one I wanted!"
"Did you choose?"
"No they got mad that I kissed them in front of each other!" The crowd laughs.
"you didn't think that was an issue?" Miley asks.
"Hey no commitment had been made so I was not in the wrong!"
"That sounds really dumb!" Miley says laughing.
"Ok we'll never have I ever hit a woman!" I raise the 'I have'. The audience gasps.
"No technically it doesn't count but like I used to bite people so when I was younger like 4 my mother gave me over to my smelly aunt and I bit her and she spanked me and I didn't understand the concept so I started hitting her head." Everyone laughs.
"You're an interesting kid aren't you!"
"Yeah I've been told I'm violent and dorky so they call me the Incredible Hulk just cause I'm like a huge rage monster one minute and like a dorky nerd the next!"
"Ok now I'm gonna have a talk with Miley while Jackson gets set for his performance. Good to see you here Jackson!"
"Oh thank you it was a lovely experience!" I left to get ready for the performance.

Lauren's pov
We were at an interview on the real to promote 5H1. The unfinished, unnamed album.
"Welcome ladies!"
"Thank you!"
"So the first order of business as young ladies in this industry what do you think is important to not pay attention to!"
"The hate, the false expectations."
"Everyone wants you to be perfect and when you're not they try to break you down and destroy but as long as you stay true to you and don't listen to what others say you'll soar!"
Some more questions are asked and answers given and I stay quiet thinking about Jackson and what he's probably doing right now.
"Ms. Jauregui you've been rather quiet what're you thinking about?" Adrienne asks.
"Can I be honest?" They nod.
"She's thinking about her boyfriend!" Dinah says.
"Shut up DJ!" I cover her mouth and everyone laughs.
"So you have a boyfriend?"
I nod.
"Aww so Camren is not real?" One of them whines.
"Sorry no!" I laugh.
"Is it by any chance this hunk of Australian man right here?" They ask and show a picture of Jackson without a shirt on leaning against a table. (A/n picture above) I covered my face from blushing.
"Yeah that's my baby!" The crowd 'aww's.
"I hope you don't mind me saying this but he's really hot!" Adrienne says.
"It's fine I know he is."
"Does it ever worry you how hot he is that girls will be all over him.?"
"I mean obviously I worry about that but I trust him around other girls. We have that trust for each other that we don't worry about who wants us but that we love each other." The crowd coos.
"I think it's important that you have that safety but if he's spending too much time with a girl let him know how you feel. Communicate. You're allowed to be jealous just don't overdo it."
"So you guys been together for s while?"
"Yeah a month and a half or so!"
"Damn a month and a half!"
"Yeah!"
"So who initiated the flirting with who?"
"Well the flirting started way before the relationship. If we're being honest I think I probably flirted with him first!"
"Oooh!"
"Who kissed who first or was it a mutual thing?"
"He kissed me first in an airport actually. I didn't expect it but it was really cute."
"Did you have a boyfriend before this relationship!"
"Ooh no my last boyfriend was like two years ago!"
"Jesus Christ!"
"Yeah I'm kind of a loner."
"Well now you have the hottest man in the music industry."
"Well now don't sell Justin Timberlake short!" I joke.
"No he's much hotter that JT!" Ally says.
"Ally you can't say that! Troy is watching this!" I joke.
"Shut up Lauren!"
"So you always liked him?"
"Pretty much I just didn't want to admit it to myself because we were good friends!"
"That makes sense!"
"Any other ladies taken?"
Camila, Normani and Ally raise their hands.
"Let me guess Shawn, Thomas, and Troy." One of them guesses and the girls nod their heads.
"Ok taken ladies what's the best part of being in a relationship?"
"The kisses!" Camila says.
"The hugs and cuddling!" Normani.
"Having a person you can always talk too!" Ally says
"Cuddling while wearing his clothes!" I say with a baby face.
"Aww that's the best answer I've ever heard cause it's true and I think we all take that for granted."
"Yeah it's just the best!"
"Well ladies how's your life!"
"Hard at times but we get through. It's really fun though so much fun to perform and meet the fans." I give my final answer of the interview. I'm too bogged down to think about answers in my head.
