Calum's Point of View
As I'm laying in bed, I can hear my phone buzzing like crazy from my nightstand table. It keeps going off no matter how much I wish it'd stop because I've only been asleep for about twenty minutes.

Last night, the boys and I decided it'd be a good idea to stay out extra late even though we have to be at the studio early in the morning. Unfortunately, we stayed out even later than we wanted, so that left us about two hours of sleep.

Two hours, that's it, and now mine is being interrupted even more. I seriously cannot catch a break today.

Even though I really don't want to, I roll over and grab my phone. Well, at least I attempt to grab it. Instead of firmly grasping it in my hand, I somehow manage to slap the edge of it, causing it to fall onto the hardwood floor.

That's certainly not good because my bedroom is located directly above Luke's. He's definitely going to be pissed, but I actually don't care because now I won't be the only one disturbed from their sleep.

Groaning loudly, I reach down and grab my phone from the floor, but since I'm so exhausted, I manage to drop it once again.

Shit, I mumble, picking it up successfully after the fourth attempt.

Just as I unlock my phone, I hear footsteps coming up the stairs beside my bedroom door. It doesn't take a genius to guess who that's going to be.

"What on earth are you doing?" Luke groans, pushing his way into my room.

I'm about to answer him, but in all honesty I'm just as confused as he is.

"I-I don't really know." My eyes squint as they read over the text covering my screen. Somehow, I've accumulated a ton of twitter notifications. Now, that's not the unusual thing in this situation because that's a normal occurrence.

What's strange is that the notifications mostly consist of followers freaking out and thanking me for finally following them.

I've followed my fair share of fans recently, but not as of four hours ago, which is when most of these thank you tweets came through.

"Cal? What the hell is going on with you?" Luke plops onto my mattress, scaring the shit out of me. After a moment or so, I finally focus my attention on my disgruntled best friend/band mate.

"I think somebody hacked my twitter," I say.

"That's impossible, Cal. How could somebody possibly-," I cut him off before he can even finish.

"Luke, I don't remember following forty people in the past four hours. We were at the club for crying out loud. When would I have had time to do such a thing."

"Well," he starts, looking at me with a very serious look, "you were pretty wasted, so maybe you had a drunk following spree. I've done it before. It's actually a pretty common thing to do," he explains.

Yes, maybe that is the case, but not for me. Maybe for Luke, Michael, and even Ashton, but definitely not for me. I'm one who likes to be completely sober when I'm interacting with fans. Well, at least I try to do so most of the time. I've had some slips, but not many.

"I'm sticking with my idea. I was definitely hacked, but I still don't know how. I have a pretty secure password."

"Please," he laughs, "iloveashtonirwin is not that secure of a password."

I shove at him, almost pushing him off the bed. "Fūck off, man. He changed it to that and you know it. Besides I changed it to something different."

"Let me guess." He pretends to scratch at his chin before continuing, "Is it ilovelukehemmings?"

This time I shove harder and actually knock him onto the floor, causing a very loud thud. I wouldn't be surprised if Ashton and Michael come stomping up the stairs soon.

"I'll take that as a no," he groans, slowly pulling himself back up.

I simply smirk at him knowing that I'm right about this. Now all I have to do is figure out who I'm being hacked by.

I'm about to kick Luke out of my room so we can get at least ten minutes of sleep before we have to leave, but I'm stopped from doing so by a recent action on my profile -- a new tweet.

@Calum5SOS: for those of you who I didn't get to follow today, never give up hope

Well, whoever this person is, at least they're not tweeting humiliating information or anything of the sort.

If that were the case, then I'd be really angry with them, but instead I'm the opposite. I'm actually quite content with what they're accomplishing.

They're following the fans I've looked over one too many times, and restoring hope in those who are close to giving up.

I don't know this person or why exactly they're doing this, but if given the chance I'd say thank you.
