Im gonna do a couple Ruby chapters cause at the moment I dont really need to write much more about Calum till a little later and also damn I made this album around 5sos first album so like once its done I might go change all the songs and shit around and make it SGFG so if random chapters just start popping up, thats why😋

Ruby's POV

(Ps if you are also confused its been a couple weeks now since what happened)

Zach and I left and started heading down to his aunties shop. It wasnt that far so we decided to just walk, even though I wanted to drive. I was nervous to meet him aunty. What if she doesnt like me? Or I fuck something up? Oh my god.

"Yo Ruby are you okay? You are really quiet?" Zach asked, concern in his voice.

"Im just nervous that your aunty wont like me." I sighed, biting my nails as I did that when I got nervous.

"She will love you, dont worry." He said, a reassuring smile on his face. "We are here now anyway."

We walked into the shop and I took a deep breath. Why was I being so paranoid?

"Hey aunty Cathy." Zach called through the shop.

Thankfully not alot of people were in there. I strolled in after Zach and shut the door behind me.

"Zach, hey." She called back, before walking out and giving him a hug.

"Aunty Cathy id like you to meet my friend Ruby." He introduced us.

"Its nice to meet you." I smiled, shaking her hand.

"And its nice to meet you too sweetheart." Okay this was going well so far.

She had bright pink hair, a nose piercing, a few in her ears and she just looked like the coolest person ever. I thought she was gonna be some strict business women but apparently not.

"So what can I do for you anyway Zach?" She asked.

"Ruby likes design and things like that and I was wondering if you could give her like a test run or something." He asked her, then she turned to me.

I mean I didnt know she was a hair dresser but I knew how to do things like that aswell, and makeup.

"I think what he means to say is, can I have a go at doing someones hair or get one of those dolls and if I do okay, would you consider me for a job please." I smiled.

"Well ofcourse I would." She said, and I also bursted with happiness. "Come with me."

We went back behind the counter and she pulled out one of those dolls heads that you practise on. She also gave me a few different tools, hairbands and clips.

"Show me what you got." She nudged towards the head.

"You mean right now?" I looked at her stunned.

"Yes." She replied, and I nodded.

(30 minutes later)

"Done." I called out.

Zach and Cathy had went back out to the front of the shop while I stayed at the back and did what I had to do. I honestly was really proud of it. I wasnt into hair and beauty as much as design and things like that, but hair was a great place to start. Also because Zach told me his aunty owns an art shop aswell.

"So what do you think?" I smiled, as I showed them what I had done. (You can just imagine your fav type of hairstyle of whatever)

"I have never seen someone do that there first day in the shop, thats amazing." Cathy smiled, taken back by what I had done.

"Zach was telling me out there though that you were more into art, is that true?" Cathy asked me.

"I like both, but art is definitly more my passion that hair dressing." I smiled.

"Look, if you want a job here still, you got it. But if you want to, bring me some of your drawings in and let me take a look. I might be able to work something out for you, but it has to be quick." She informed me.

"Is Monday okay?" I asked, and she nodded.

"Draw me whatever you want. I want it to be completely you and no one else."
