"Oh, scared to see the ending, why are we pretending this is nothing. Told you, I missed you but I don't know how. I've never heard silence quite this loud!"I sang with power as I held the mic with my hand which is also held by the microphone stand.  

"Now, I'm standing alone in a crowded room and you're not speaking. And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like its killing me and I don't know what to say since it's a twist of faith til we all broke down. And the story of us looks alot like a tradgedy now!" I ended the song.  

"Good choice of song, there, kiddo!" Ashton said as he messed up my hair. "Hey!" I groaned and tried to fix it.  

"Are we posting it on youtube?" I asked Calum as he brought the camera back to us. He nodded silently and pressed played.  

And there I was with my awkward face and awkward voice. I always hated watching or hearing myself on a video.  

"Yeah, I'm gonna go to the bathroom" I said so that I won't be able to hear myself. They all murmured an 'okay' and I decided not to reply. I have been here for a week now so no need to ask questions on where it was located. 

Once I was in the loo, I watched my eye bagged self on the mirror. I mentally noted myself that I should steal some sleep tonight. Being in highclschool is tiring! So many homeworks and quizzes to do.  

"Hey, Belle! Where are you?!" I heard Michael yell. Wow, so they weren't really paying attention to me when I asked them. Pathetic! 

"In here!" I yelled as I finished combing my once- tangled hair. 

"There you are." Luke opened the bathroom door and pulled me outside. Damn boy, he didn't even let me grab my bag. Well, atleast he touched my hand. It sends tinglesto my spine I love that feeling. But just ignored it. "What!?" I asked in cofusion. "We're doing another cover!" He smiled widely. "What song?" I asked as he stood to get his guitar. "Love Me For Me by Cher Lloyd. Ever heard of it?" He askd, grinning. "Heard of it!? It's my favorite song! Well, sort of. Omg, let's do it!" I exclaimed excitingly. They all chuckled at my excitement and Calum went to press the record button of the camera.  

Luke then started to pluck the introduction and I started singing.  

"Oh... oh ooooh oh, yeah. Phone rings, don't wanna pick it up I'm so scared, not gonna say too much. I tip- toe around your questions, why gotta dig so deep." I sang passionately and stared at the camera intently.  

After finishing the whole song, Calum rushed towards the camera to stop it and he, again, pressed played. 

This time, I watched it. To be honest, I sound better than before. Maybe it's because I do vocal exercises everytime I wake up. They say it really helps my larynx. 

"Yes! Two songs in one day! I'll have my friend to edit this later" Ashton grinned and snatched the camera from Calum's hand. "Talk about good manners" he rolled his eyes and we all laughed.  

"So, can I go now?" I asked them.  

"Why so early?" Michael asked. 

"I feel sleepy and I still got homworks to do" I replied simply.  

"Okay, well. Catch you tomorrow. Come straight here, okay?" He said. 

I nodded and started running towards the door. 

"3:30, don't forget!" Luke yelled before I closed the door shut. I still feel excited whenever he talks to me. I can't really explain why. I kinda like it. The way it sends sparks to my whole body, it feels so right.

"Hey, hun, how did your practice go?" mom asked. 

She already knew about me in 5 Seconds of Summer. In fact, she even accepted the permission I asked in going to England.  

"It. was. AWESOOOME!!!" I cheered and shrieked excitedly as she watched me weirdly.  

"Now, now. Don't get too excited about this. There's a fifty- fifty chance for you guys to be unsuccessful" she said as she obviously tried to hide a laughter.  

"Wow, thanks for being supportive" I said sarcastically.  

"I'm just saying. It's a warning. Just don't get your heads up to high" she said as she turned around to finish the dishes she left.  

"So much for being a caring mother" I rolled my eyes at her as she gave me a sarcastic laughter. I also laughed and ran towards my now furnished and painted room. I grinned at the sight of the pretty lavender sight.  

I hurriedly went to my wardrobe and grabbed a tanktop that shows a little of my flat stomach and cleavage and a short shorts. Who cares about how I dress anyway? I'm at my own home! No one can see me! 

I kept my hair in a messy bun and brushed my teeth before going straight to bed. Just as my eyelids were starting to get heavy, I heard my mom mumble some scream about someone outside the door looking for me. "Urgh!" I groaned. "Coming!" I yelled back. 

I didn't bother wearing any jacket or sweatpants. Who could be here in this time of the night? It's nearly 10 in the evening! 

"What is it?" I asked her as I arrived in the dining area.  

"Belle! Cover up! You have guests!" she exclaimed loudly and securely making me jump in surprise.  

"Huh?" I asked, confused.  

"See for yourself" she said simply as she pointed behind me.  

She then walked away before I could turn around.  

I heard a wolf whistle behind me and when I turned around, I see Luke, Calum, Michael, Ashton and Jes along with my backpack that I left inside the bathroom.  

"Holy-" I yelled but I hid behind a wall before they could see any of my skin.  

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked as I peeped my head to see them.  

"Y-you left your bag" Luke aaid holding my backpack.  

"What are you wearing?" Calum asked, ignoring the awkward moment.  

"I was about to go to sleep when you guys suddenly came" I exclaimed as I gave them shooting daggers as my cheeks went bright red. "How did you know where I live?" I asked. 

"Jes told us where you lived." Ashton answered.  

"Okay, Jes. I'm gonna kill you when I see you tomorrow" I said with a calm but stern voice making her laugh. "Stop laughing!" I yelled again, hiding my head behins the wall.  

"Okay, now, you guys just leave my bag there, and thank you for dropping by but I have to sleep and you also need to rest and Jes, you just need to watch out when I see you tomorrow" I said continuosly. They murmured their goodbye's as Jes gulped loudly making me giggle.  

As I heard the door close, I rushed towards my backpack and sprinted up stairs towards my bedroom. Good night, world. I'm going to sleep.
