The Butterflies Will Live Forever (Adopted by 5SOS)

Chapter 21

-Jasmines POV-

"They're already here." Luke said while looking up from his phone.

Ashton nodded and grabbed my hand.

We silently walked into the living room and I decided to say something.

"Thank you." I said with burning cheeks.

"For what?" Michael asked. Really? They don't know?

"You guys are everything I could ask for. You're the family I never had. You've done everything you can for me and it's all I've ever wanted- to be cared for. To be loved. To feel like I'm worth something. And you guys do care and you love me and you show me I mean something to you. So thank you." I explained. I looked up to see everyone in tears, and rushing towards me for a group hug.

"No one deserves what you've gone through, or to feel how you feel. We just want to make you okay again." Calum told me.

I was trying to figure out what to say to something like that when I knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

We all pulled away and wiped our tears.

I chuckled at the sight of us, we're a mess.

The boys looked at me kinda strange. "We look funny. We're a mess." I said and they all slightly laughed. "Luke you might wanna redo your hair." I said sarcastically, know it it takes him forever to fix his fringe.

"NO! MY BEAUTIFUL FRINGE HAS FALLEN!!!" He shouted while running to the bathroom.

We all laughed and I went to answer the door.

"Hey- are you okay?" Niall asked, noticing my state.

"Yeah, everything is okay. Just uh, bumpy morning is all." I replied with a sniffle and a smile. I stepped back to let them in and they followed me to the lounge. I could see the look of surprise on their faces when they saw that the 3 had been crying too, because of their red, puffy eyes.

"Luke, stop worrying about your hair and get in here, you need to leave!" I shouted after looking at the clock. "You're gonna be late! Hurry it up!"

"Okay, okay! I'm here!" He laughed while walking back into the room.

I turned to say goodbye to the boys, but all 8 of them had a shocked look on their faces.

"What?" I asked.

"No one can get Luke to hurry up when it comes to his hair. No one! They've been a late to concerts for this dork and his hair!" Zayn explained.

I turned on my heal to look at Luke. "Really?" I asked smugly. He blushed and looked down. I walked up to him and smacked he back of his head. I pointed my finger at him and sternly said "No!" Like he was a dog.

Everyone laughed at what I had done. I'm glad it lightened the mood.

I saw Michael pull Harry into the hall, probably to say something about what to do if something happens with me.

Everyone was chatting amongst themselves and I pretended not to notice Michael and Harry sneak back in. Michael announced that they had to go and they individually said goodbye and all that jazz, then left.

As soon as he door shut, Liam put his ear on the door. After a moment he spoke up. "Okay, they're gone. Jasmine we have it all planned out." He explained.

I immediately knew what he was talking about. "Really!??! When are we gonna do it?! What's the plan!? JUST TELL ME!! I rushed out.

"Chill, my dearest child. I will tell you the whole plan." Louis said. He pulled his phone out and scanned over some stuff, I assume he saved it in his phone, and started talking again. "Okay, it's tonight. We made reservations at this somewhat fancy restaurant. At a certain time,  I will give you the signal, and you will excuse yourself to the 'bathroom' and you will go side stage to prepare and then you perform!" He said.

"What are we gonna tell the guys? Like, what's our reason for going to the restaurant?" I asked.

"Our treat." Niall simply stated with a shrug.

"Okay. So tonight. Wait TONIGHT?!?" I shouted.

"Yeah..." Harry said, not understanding my sudden outburst.

"I NEED TO PRACTICE!" I shouted while running to get my guitar. I ran back out without my music sheet or anything because I had already memorized it all. Even though I've only played it once, I've read it countless times.

"Do you have a music sheet?" Liam asked.

"I have a music sheet, but I don't need a music sheet." I stated. "Can I practice in front of you guys?" I asked.

"Of course!"

"I wanna hear it!"

"Sure."

I heard multiple answers at the same time so I sat down to start. As a joke I started to play English Love Affair  and after I sang "it started on a weekend in May," I busted out laughing.

"I'm just kidding." I said after my fit of giggles. I cleared my throat and started for real this time.

(You know the song; not gonna write it all out)

After I finished, I got a standing ovation from the 5 boys.

"Was it really that good?" I asked with confusion.

"Are you kidding me?!? That was beautiful!!! Did you write that by yourself?" Zayn asked.

"Yeah." I chuckled nervously.

"That was amazeballs! You could be a legit songwriter! We should get an agent to be there to listen to you!" Harry said.

"No! No, no, no, no, no! You've done enough and I don't know if I could handle the pressure to know that someone is there to listen to me for that reason." I explained.

Harry gave me a sly smile and chuckled at me.

I was hoping someone would change the subject soon because I feel very awkward right now.

"Who's hungry?" Louis asked as if he could read my mind.

Guess who?

Of course she would come now. Just leave. I'm having a good day.

Ha! That's all the more reason to stay.
