chapter 1;

Take my money!

The same song we were listening to earlier in the car was the first song they played. Rowan and I had our hands up in rock signs, pumping to the beat of the song.

Black jeans, white tee, black converse, you know she gets it right

You could hear everyone else screaming to the song.

Blue hair, blue eyes, I saw her. I couldn't help it I was like-

The song continued, and I felt more and more happy with each word. I was with my best friend, at my favourite bands' concert.

Life couldn't be more perfect than right now.

Take my money, take my keys! Drive this car through the drive-thru please!

The whole crowd began to jump at the chorus and I'm not gonna lie, Rowan and I joined in too.

The next verse began, and I was looking at Calum; It was his solo.

Late night, passed out in Tokyo. New York, LA, Chicago!
She said her friends were at the show, backstage we'll let 'em in!

He caught my eye right after that line. He winked, and I thought I was going to pass out there.

Rowan noticed it too, because when I was finished screaming inside of my head, I saw her looking at me with her jaw on the floor.

"Holy fucking shit, the first song isn't even over and you were already noticed!"

Okay, so, I lied earlier. Life clearly could be more perfect because my favourite person just winked at me.

After that happened, I didn't care about anything else in the world, I just wanted to have fun. I went wild. Rowan and I were screaming the words to every song, and we were having a goddamn blast. (Besides The Girl Who Cried Wolf, obviously, because I cried like a little bitch.)

The boys always talk to the crowd in between songs, and as Michael was saying something about how much he loved preforming here in D.C. and Obama, I noticed Calum talking to security. I retracted my attention from whatever Calum was doing and put it back on Michael and just listened to what he was saying.

After Michael and the other boys were done reading fan signs in the audience, they continued playing more songs.

Two more songs went by before it happened;

Waste the Night and San Francisco.

The same security guy that Calum was talking to began to walk in my direction.

I did the same as earlier and didn't pay much attention to it and diverted back to 5SOS, but that didn't really last for too long.

Security stood in frount of Rowan and I and made a motion while looking at me to move towards him.

I leaned in, following his actions.

"How old are you?" he spoke loudly into my ear.

"I'm 19 in a few months," I yelled back. "Why?"

He hesitated and looked back on-stage, furrowed his eyebrow, and answered my question.

"Calum Hood wants your phone number,"

Excuse me, what?

"Could you please write it down on this paper?"

Okay this is genuinely happening right now. Fuck.

Somehow Rowan heard over the booming music and the screaming fans. She gave the same expression as before, except this time, a loud "What?!" came out of her mouth. I shrugged at my best friend and turned back to the security guard.

"Oh," I replied, attempting to seem chill about the whole situation. "Okay, yeah! Sure!"

People behind and next to us overheard and a few even took out their phones. I didn't want to think that maybe they overheard and were taking pictures of me, so I just assumed that they all just took their phones out to take photos or videos of the boys. I hoped my assumption was right, because I didn't want to be plastered all over Twitter like I had seen some other girls in the past.

I wrote down my info on the napkin the guard gave me with a pen the guard also gave me.

aspen geltz xxx-xxx-xxxx

I handed the napkin back to the guard.
"Okay, thanks. I'll make sure to get this to him." He walked away and went somewhere backstage.

"Holy shit," I said to Rowan. "Did that just happen?"

"Hell yeah it did! Oh my God this is so insane my best friend just had Calum fucking Hood ask for her number!"

"I don't think it's a big deal, Row. They're just people."

Not gonna lie, I said that out loud, but on the inside I was skipping around like a fat kid in a candy shop.

She rolled her eyes at me and I turned back towards the stage. The boys were playing Catch Fire now and to be completely honest I felt like catching fire.

My life didn't feel real. I was smiling and was nodding my head to the tunes that were familiar to my ears.

I looked around the stage.

Ashton was slamming on his drums as always. He looks like he loves his job and loves the drums.

Luke was belting away with his hands on the mic stand. His voice is always so passionate when he sings.

Michael was strumming his guitar vigorously, headbanging.

And Calum.

Calum was looking right at me. His hands on his bass, his fingers moving with the chord progressions.

When he noticed I noticed him looking, he nodded his head to me and smirked.

He fucking smirked.

I smiled back but then looked away from Calum.

I didn't want him to be what I thought about the whole evening.

I came here for the music and I'm staying here for the music.

I danced and sang the night away until the 4 boys ended with Outer Space.

When the set was finished, they all came to the start of the catwalk and began to speak.

"Thank you so much for having us tonight D.C.!" Luke began. "You guys were a rockin' crowd."

"And thanks to those who came from Maryland and Virginia just to see us perform, you're fuckin' awesome and we love you." Ashton continued.

"And other places if you came from other places," Michael said. "There are more than two states Ash."

Ashton looked at Michael and rolled his eyes as the crowd laughed.

"We are 5 Seconds of Summer!" Luke finished off.

"Goodnight!" The whole band said simultaneously while exiting the stage.

Rowan and I got up from our seats, already exhausted, and headed over to the merch table to buy a concert t-shirt. I wanted one for the memory; XXL to sleep in.

After we got our shirts, we headed back home.

The way back, Rowan teased me about Calum calling me "Mrs. Hood" and stuff like that.

I laughed with her of course, but to be honest, it wasn't about the boys noticing me. What was important was that I had a good time.

With my favourite friend.

Seeing my favourite band.

And my favourite boy just so happened to ask for my phone number.

No big deal.
