Unluckiest luck//a Calum hood fanfiction

Chapter 1

"Breathe"
"Just breathe"

"You're only going to meet 5 seconds of summer"
Holy shit was I going to meet 5 seconds of summer.
My heart pounded out of my chest. I swear the lady at the lunch table across the room could hear it. My breathes doubled. My hands found their place on the white wall next to me as I steadied myself. The different scenarios of what might happen flashed through my mind. What if they were too tired to talk to me? What if they didn't want to hear what I had to say? What the hell was I doing thinking that they wouldn't take some form of interest in their fans? But what if they were not who they seemed and turned out to be arrogant-
"A would you stop. I can feel your nervousness drifting towards me. If you're gonna keep it up please back up cos' I've got my own set of nerves right here,"
I turned to face my best friend in the entire world, Melanie, and I could see her shaking. I tried my best to have some confidence emanating from me, but I failed epically.
"But what if-"
"Would you stop with the what ifs. Everything is going to go just fine. What's the point of the meet and greet if you're gonna faint at the sight of them and be wheeled off to the hospital,"
She made a good point. I was gonna be wasting this opportunity of a lifetime if I cried and screamed in their faces.

And Calum Hood. I hadn't mentioned it before, but I am head over heels in love with Calum. His personality and his smile(and his body) just make me feel so in love. My heart pounds against my chest every time I see him, in picture of course. However, it would be utterly amazing if I actually got the chance to meet him and tell him how much I loved him. And I had been given the chance served to me on a silver platter waiting for me to make the most of it. I needed to calm down.

"Hello ladies, listen the boys are a bit off schedule so you guys have to wait a little while. Is that okay?"a lady with her hair tied up into a tight bun and glasses perched on her head asked.

"Yes of course. No problem," Mel answered for the both of us. My mind drifted off to the fateful time I had been told that I was going to meet 5 seconds of summer.

I was sitting on my bed, cocooned in my blanket, staring at the computer screen. Waiting and waiting. All time low's paint you wings was playing softly in the background. Waiting and waiting. A nationwide competition had been held just 2 weeks ago to find a worthy 5sos fan to win those precious meet and greet passes. All those who entered had to submit a write up on why they thought they should be given the meet and greet passes. I thought I was pretty good with words so I entered and prayed to my posters on the wall everyday. I wanted to win so badly. The results was said to be announced at 9pm that Wednesday night. I glanced down to the timing on the screen. It switched from 8.59 to 9.00. I turned to my right and pressed kisses to all my posters and stared back at my screen. The words "the lucky fan of the pair of meet and greet passes would have received a twitter dm from our account! Check your inboxes!". My fingers zoomed to my phone immediately to check my twitter. I saw that I had received a message and my heart skipped a beat. I had won the passes, I knew it. My finger tapped the icon and my world crashed down.

"Hey it's me again. Was wondering if we could go on a second date. It's been 2 months since our first one:)- love tommy". I read the line over and over again. No mention of meet and greets. I must have refreshed the page at least 10 times before it dawned on me that I had not won the passes. Another lucky fan had. Not me. All the daydreams of Calum and I locking gazes and knowing it was love at first sight slipped away. I knew it would never happen but just the experience of meeting him took off on an airplane to never land. And this guy tommy, sorry buddy but there's a reason why it's been 2 months since our first date. I was on the verge of sending those exact words to him in my rage. However I decided against it, the boy had done nothing wrong. I was upset at the world. What had I done wrong? Why didn't I win? Angry tears burst from my eyes. The song trophy father's trophy son by sleeping with sirens started to play. Perfect. This sadness matched with the song that always made me cry. I had everything needed for a poorly thrown pity party. A half eaten bag of chips and overwhelming sadness. I cried myself to sleep that night.

I woke up, my eyes puffy and red. I came to the conclusion that crying over something like a meet and greet was not worth it. I had a 1 in 6381010730 chance to begin with. I managed to get through my day with the meet and greets shoved into the back of my head in a box with a lock on it. Later that afternoon, I was at home watching the newest episode of Teen Wolf on my computer curled up in my blanket with a half eaten bag of chips when I heard a knocking on my bedroom window. I looked up and almost fell off my bed. There was Melanie squashed up against the window, her eyes wild with excitement.

I got of my bed and opened the window, bemused.
"Mel! What the hell-"
She had stumbled in keeping a tight grip on my shoulder. I'm not gonna lie, I was slightly afraid.
"Alexane! Alexane are you listening!"
"Yes what's going-"
"I scored the meet and greet passes!"
I looked at her wide-eyed. Had I heard right?

Almost answering my question, Melanie nodded slowly with a delirious look in her eyes.

I smiled wider than I'd ever smiled before. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was so happy for her. At the same time, I couldn't help but selfishly hope she would pick me to go with her.

Before I could voice my thoughts, Melanie handed me a piece of paper. It was a full page long. Upon closer inspection I realized that it was the write up she had submitted. The same write up that apparently won her the meet and greets.

My name is Melanie and I have the best friend in the entire world. We've been friends since birth(maybe even before, I swear our mothers rubbed bellies). Anyway, Alexane has always been there for me. When we were six, my team lost our first softball match. I felt like the blame fell on my shoulders and I felt so bad. Alexane stayed over at my house that night just to make sure I didn't shed a tear and had the best sleepover ever. When we were 13, I had to sing in front of the entire school for a talent show. My nerves got the better of me. I stood there on the stage, terrified. I didn't manage to utter a single word. The chorus kicked in and I knew I was done for. Then I heard a voice coming from the back of the hall. It was Alexane coming to save the day. She has an amazing voice, but she's always too shy and quiet to show it. The fact that she was willing to break out of her shell to help me, showed how amazing she was. We sang a duet that day, one of the best days of my life. When we were 15, in March 2012, Alexane introduced me to a small band called 5 seconds of summer from Australia. I didn't think much of them at first, but fast forward 3 years and Alexane and I are obsessed with 5 seconds of summer. She has done so much for me. A fraction of them listed above. She has been an incredible best friend and I want to do something amazing for her to make up for all the times she had done something great for me. I plead with you to give us the meet and greet passes. I wouldn't even be asking if not for her thinking about telling me when she discovered the most amazing band in the entire world. Please, I love her so much. She's not my best friend, she's my sister.

As I read the last line, a tear fell from my eye down my check. I looked up at her unable to say anything. Words couldn't describe how grateful I was to have such an incredible...sister. So I didn't use words.

I leant in for a hug and she opened her arms. We stood there in a tight embrace for a few minutes. Reading what she had written about me left me with a warm fuzzy feeling in me.

"Thank you," was all I could mutter into her hair. Mel pulled back and looked at me with tears brimming in her eyes.

"It was the least i could do Alexane. But guess what! We're gonna meet 5 seconds of summer! And you're gonna meet Calum!" she practically shouted.

I was going to meet Calum Hood. I didn't imagine any of my dreams of our first meeting ever coming true, but how could I complain. I was going to be meeting 5 seconds of summer.

"Girls!" a voice from our right shouted. It was the same lady standing outside a door.

"The boys are here and are waiting in the room. This way," she said gesturing to the door. As I squinted my eyes I realized it read 'meet and greet' on it. It was really happening. I couldn't move. Mel grabbed my hand and together we walked to the door. I had to make the most of this moment. I had to.

Then suddenly I heard someone yell 'penis' from inside the room. The lady rolled her eyes and groaned. Mel and I couldn't help but laugh.

I took a deep breath and turned the door knob. Here we go.
