Memories (5SOS Fanfic)

Chapter Four

For the whole car ride, Laura and Rosie couldn’t stop talking about One Direction and their support act, I think they’re called 5 Seconds of Summer. I didn’t really pay attention to their conversation; I just looked out of the window until I heard one of them saying my name.

“Uh, what?” I asked, looking towards the front of the car. They both laughed before Laura turned her attention back to the road and Rosie turned around to talk to me.

“Are you excited?” She asked with a huge smile on her face.

“Yeah, I guess,” I said, laughing at her facial expression.

Once again, they started talking about the concert and what they would do if they actually met One Direction or their support act.

After around 30 minutes of the not so silent car ride, we arrived at the arena. Laura quickly found a park since the doors didn’t open for another couple of hours. We walked over to the arena and just sat outside. We sat their talking about everything and anything to try and pass time.

After an hour of talking, Laura and Rosie went silent; they were just staring at something behind me. Before I could turn around, they let out little squeals, got up and ran in the direction that they were staring at. I finally turned around and noticed the two girls standing with four guys. From their reaction, I could tell that this was One Directions support act. I slowly got up and walked over to them.

For some strange reason, I couldn’t help looking at the one with dark hair.

‘He looks familiar,’ I thought to myself. I realised that I must have been staring for too long because he looked over Laura’s shoulder and saw me. His mouth opened slightly, like he was going to say something, but then he quickly shut it. He looked at me for a little bit longer as I just stood there awkwardly. One of the guys with blonde hair slapped his arm which made him look away from me and towards the guy that slapped him.

“I’ll be back in a second,” I heard him mumble to the other three guys, Rosie and Laura. He slowly walked around the girls and over to me. I just stood there, not knowing what to do.

“Um, hi,” I said, mentally slapping myself for how awkward I sounded. He just smiled at me.

“Hey,” He said before he paused. “Just wondering, is your name Danah Hood?”

I just looked at him confused while I nodded my head slowly.

“How did you know?”

He smiled at me once again, laughing a little bit this time.

“Obviously you don’t have a very good memory. I’m Calum, your brother, remember?”

My mouth hung open.

“Oh my god,” I said, a little too loud. Five pairs of eyes turned and faced us. Calum turned around and looked at them.

“Hey guys, do you remember that I said I had a sister and I thought she lived in Brisbane?” He asked the other three boys. They just slowly nodded, looking extremely confused. “Well I found her.”

He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. I lifted my arms and hugged him back, still in shock that he remembered me.

“Well, are you going to introduce us?” One of the guys asked.

“Danah, this is Luke, Ashton and Michael,” Calum said, pointing to each one of his band mates. They all smiled at me and I smiled back.

We talked for a little longer before a security guard came out.

“You guys have to go backstage now, more fans are starting to turn up,” He said once he had reached us. We said our goodbyes to the boys, hugging each of them before they walked off. We went back to the spot that we were sitting in before.

As soon as I sat down, Laura and Rosie both slapped my arms.

“What was that for?” I asked, a little too loud.

“You didn’t tell us that you had a brother that was in a band!” They both said at the same time.

“To be honest, I didn’t know that he was in a band,” I said. “I didn’t even remember his name.”

“How come you didn’t know him?” Rosie asked, lowering her voice as she saw some fans approaching the arena.

“It’s a long story, I’ll tell you guys later.” I smiled at them. We talked for a little long about random stuff before security guards came outside to inform us that the doors were about to open.

I was actually starting to look forward for this concert.
