Lacey and Michael go way back. They knew one another back in elementary school! Unfortunately, the two have lost contact by now and Lacey is left feeling like just another fan. Besides her never ending quest to re gain Michael's attention via Twitte...
"Good morning, sunshine," Al smiled and greeted me as we met at our normal spot in front of his house, halfway on my walk to school. It was like nothing had changed since he first moved to Sydney, only now, we walked hand in hand.
"Ugh, don't even get me started. I was up all night studying for that history test so figure me if I look like crap," I rolled my eyes at his sarcastic greeting, directed towards my grumpy face. Senior year sure was a pain. I was so glad it was spring and almost over.
"Oh, stop it. You look fine," he threw an arm around my shoulder and pecked me on the cheek. I smiled even though I tried so hard not to. "There it is," Al pinched my cheek where my dimple was, just to be annoying. I laughed and shoved him off of me.
"The question is, did you do your homework Mr. 'My brothers are driving me crazy!'" I said the last bit in a mocking tone. He'd been texting me non stop the night before about how Jonathan and Oliver has put sticky notes all over his room as a prank, and how Samuel was running through the house banging pots and pans together, saying he was starting a band. His brothers sure were characters. At least, they always were when I went over to his house.
"Yes, Miss honor student, I did. In fact, I finished my science research paper as well, wanna see?" He bragged.
"No, I believe you," I rolled my eyes again and we went back and forth like that until we got to school. Al kissed me goodbye at my locker and told me to have a great day and he'd see me at lunch. I stared after him as he walked off to his class at the other end of the building, thinking how lucky I really was.
Al and I had been dating all year and we hadn't had any problems at all. With us, one true pair wasn't even an expression. All our friends- and yes, we had friends now- even said so. Michael even said so.
5 Seconds of Summer actually never ended up leaving Sydney. They decided to get a house together where they could chill and write music while they weren't on tour. It was because they wanted to be closer to their family, but also because of Jasmine.
After Michael asked Jasmine to be his girlfriend, they went on dates every night until Jasmine had to go back to America for university. They both hated doing long distance, so when it became official that 5sos was staying in Sydney for awhile, Jasmine made a big decision. With Rachel and I's guidance, she dropped out of college, and moved to Sydney to love with Michael full time. This way, Michael and Jasmine didn't have to date long distance, 5sos could be close to their families, and Jasmine, Al, the band, Charlotte and I could all continue to hang out as friends.
That's another thing: we all finally figured out why Charlotte was in such a good mood that day at the park. She and Lance had gotten back together! Lance still had to go to his university since he was there on scholarship for football, but it's only about an hour away and Charlotte drives up to visit him whenever she can. After Charlotte finishes her senior year here in Sydney, they plan to get a flat together near Lance's university and live together. We're all very happy for them.
Jasmine was ecstatic when she and Michael moved in together, though. She was of course happy to be with her boyfriend, but she was also excited to be closer to me so we didn't have to FaceTime and text and message anymore. Also, on the inside, whether Jasmine admitted it to Michael or not or even if she was admitting it to herself, she was still fangirling about getting to live in a house with 5sos.
Thanks to a little convincing from Jasmine, the band started doing more live streams, YouTube videos, and even their famous Keeks again while they were living in the house. The fans went insane and they welcomed Jasmine with open arms, especially the ones who longed for 5sos from the fetus days. If nothing else, they said in various Tweets and posts, she brought the Keeks back. We all laughed every time we found something like that on the Internet.
Speaking of the Internet, Michael isn't so bothered by what he reads online anymore. If he comes across a mean post now, he just ignores it. I think Jasmine is helping me do the same thing she did when she met me: helping him get his confidence back. I'm thankful too, because I'd never want a good friend like Michael to feel bad about himself. When he confided in me that he'd been having some more mental health issues on the Sounds Live Feels Live tour because of all the hate he and the band get my heart broke a little bit. But now, it's okay again. Everything is okay again.
This includes Michael and I's friendship. By now, he's already taken me to two Twenty One Pilots concerts (they're still my favorite band to this day). Together, we jam out to all the songs, especially Stressed Out. We even do our silly little dance like we did in the woods that day when we sang it together. Also, we gushed about how cute Josh Dun is because, who wouldn't?
The five of us, Al, Jasmine, Michael, Charlotte and I still to this day all hang out as friends. Sure sometimes others join us like the rest of the band, Lance, and even Rachel's visited from Florida a couple times. Without any drama, we've really been able to focus on enjoying life, and I like that.
Maybe one day when I'm old, I can look back on these days here with my friends and my wonderful boyfriend like I used to look back on my childhood, and wish I could turn back time. 'Cause these? These are the good old days. As good as they get.
~THE END~ . . . End of Wish We Could Turn Back Time.
