Becoming the Fifth Second of Summer - a FanFiction

What happened next

Over the next few weeks, I felt that i had truly become something, someone.

I gained thousands of requests on all of my social media, video footage of me playing reached 1 million views on youtube, and at school I instantly became popular. People from the year above me came and asked me what it was like, what did they say, how lucky i was and how jealous they were. And to be honest, i felt on top of the world. I was finally accepted, liked, even boys started paying me attention.

But, as all good things, the popularity and buzz surrounding me faded, and soon I was back to my old self. Boys looked right through me again, my grades dropped and I started being scared of school. It seemed worse than it was before the concert. Before, it had always been like that so it wasn't that bad. But now, after i had had a taste of the good life, it feels like I had lost something.

There wasn't a day that went by that i didn't think about how awesome i felt playing to thousands of people. And there wasn't a lonely night that went by that i didn't think about what Ash whispered to me.

'Remember, you are talented. We will be in touch.'

We will be in touch. What does that even mean? Was he just saying it jokily, or was he being serious?

Anyways, there is no point in even considering what could happen, because nothing special will ever happen. Not to me anyway.

Months later, I still felt the same, and finally it was the summer break.

I spent it how I usually did, eating far too much and not going outside.

It was the last week of holiday, and it was starting to dawn on me. The 'Back To School' adverts started to appear on TV again, and we got sent our new timetable for the coming academic year.

I start to mentally implode. I cant go to school. I cant handle it anymore.

I hide away in my room even more, using my guitar as an escape. Playing and playing until my fingers bled, and my hands were covered in plasters. It was the only way i could relax. I also started to write. I mean, i had written before, but never a whole song, only riffs.

One Saturday afternoon, i was in the middle of writing one of my new songs, 'Vapor', when my laptop dinged. Confused at the unfamiliar sound, i open up my mac to find an unread email.

'To; daisygmail, From: 5SOS.official.management, Subject: Meet & Greet'

My heart starts to race.

Could this be? It this what Ash meant?

I open it excitedly.

'Dear Miss Daisy,

We apologise for the unexpected and belated email, we had trouble finding your information.

As per requested by the members of 5 Seconds of Summer, we are happy to invite you to meet the band and stay with them for a weekend in Birmingham, as they are there on press shoots at the moment.

We hope that you will be able to join them, as they requested to see you specifically, ever since your performance at one of their shows earlier this year.

Details of the trip will be sent shortly, and your parent/guardian has been notified.

Best wishes,

The 5 Seconds of Summer Team'

My eyes widen in shock, and I read the email over and over, consuming every last detail.

What.
