Alissa's POV

I look up at Taylor who has been waving her hand in my face for a good two minutes. I blink quickly shaking my head back into reality. I look up at her. "You okay?" Taylor asks looking at me with concern.

"Yeah, just thinking." I say shaking my head to somehow release the memories. I then look up at her. "So what now?" I ask her trying to avoid her interrogation for zoning out. Ashton speaks for her.

"Well we are going to announce it during this interview and you are I guess supposed to be there with us in the interview to talk about why we chose you and why you agreed to go on tour and probably answer some cheesy questions." He explains simply.

"Okay, now one more thing do the fans know that we knew each other?" I say looking at all of the boys.

"No. It's rumoured but none of us have confirmed it." Calum answers.

"Well they will find out sooner or later we might as well bring it up." I say calmly. "I don't like keeping things from the fans. And besides that could be another reason you guys decided to take me on tour and a reason I agreed to go with." I say assertively.

"What if they ask about what happened when we left for tour?" Luke says beating around the bush about me and Michael.

"We say I kept in contact with the band. Because I did, at least with Calum." I say nudging my shoulder to Calum.

"That should work." Calum agrees.

"Alright so I guess now we-" Ashton starts but is interrupted by Stephanie.

"Hello Boys, Oh, Alissa you're still here?" she looks at me with a tilt in her neck.

"Well we have an announcement that concerns Ali- Alissa." Luke says.

"Oh, awesome, this will sure to get us some high ratings." Stephanie says excitedly. "Well follow me." she says turning on her heel and walking towards the back of the station. We all shuffle our way into a larger room with three glass walls. The desk filled up the room and there were five swivel chairs in a line on the left side of the desk. On the right side sat one chair. The top of the table was piled high with computer software and papers. From the middle of the table 6 microphones on crane like fixtures hung over the table and hanging above the table.

"Take a seat." Stephanie says to us five. I look behind me and see Taylor motioning out to the lobby. I nod at her giving her the okay to wait outside in the lobby. I then sit myself smack dab in the middle of the 5 chairs. Ashton sits at the far right of me, then Calum, then me, and on my left sits Luke and, closets to the door, sits Michael.

"Alright well I had some stuff prepared but sense you are here with Alissa I guess that won't work. Do you guys just want to make your announcement and we will go from there?" Stephanie says organizing the stacks of papers cluttering the table. I nod my head. Stephanie then stands and walks to the camcorder. She then takes the camera lens protector off. She then sits down on her side of the table. "Alright, you guys all set?" We all exchange nods and mumbled agreements. "Perfect in three, two," She counts down. "Hello Chippendale We are back once again with 5 Seconds of Summer and they have brought along a guest." Stephanie says looking directly at me. "Alissa May." I smile at her, I then wave to the camera. "So you five have an announcement for us correct?" she asks. Ashton clears his throat and speaks.

"Yeah we're really excited to announce that," he pauses and I look at him and nod. "Our opening act for Sounds Live Feels Live is" Calum and Luke start a drumroll. "Alissa May." Ashton announces into the microphone. I laugh at his announcing voice.
