Warning: this is bad but please power through it gets better 

Calum

"Okay, Cal, let's face it. Zoe is never gonna open up to you 100% and fully commit herself to you unless she solves things with Hollie. They're both still quite young, and we were thinking, maybe  they need a little nudge." 

Luke finishes his little speech and glances at Michael for support. Michael nods and looks directly at me. 

The two of them are standing above me while I sit on the couch, now confused. 

"What?" I ask, shaking my head. 

Zoe and Ashton are out with their mum, Harry and Lauren. 

"We wanna talk to Hollie." Michael says, as I very slowly stand up. "Not you, me and Luke. We think we could convince her to be a little more, well, nice." 

"So? What do you think?" Luke asks excitedly, bouncing a little bit. 

Sighing I look from Michael to Luke, giving in. "Fine. But don't do anything stupid, what the fùck, of course you're gonna do something stupid. Just try to keep it chill."They cheer and jump on each other, but I stand, staring at them."You'd better go fast because if you're not back before Ashton, he's gonna wonder where you are and why I'm not with you." 

Within a minute, they're out of the door. 

"Bye!" I shout after them before sitting down again. I try texting Zoe, because she's the only thing on my mind, but I don't expect an answer. 

Me: I miss you :(

Zoo: you're pathetic 

Since I wasn't expecting her to reply, I find myself beaming down at my phone. 

Me: I'm literally smiling so big because you replied

Zoo: hahaha you're funny 

Me: you're cute 

Zoo: says you who literally has got to be the cutest thing to ever set foot on planet earth 

Me: anyway... What are you doing? 

Zoo: we went to the aquarium and Ashton's making us go to kfc 

Me: do you miss me

Zoo: nope

Me: :( 

Zoo: sorry that's not true 

Zoo: I thought about you at the aquarium because there was pufferfish and it reminded me of that time we were at the pool and we squished each other cheeks 

Zoo: when you and Luke did a bbq

Zoo: and you became a sexy chef 

Zoo: Calum please reply im sorry I really do miss you 

I find myself smiling at how cute she is and type out my reply. 

Me: it's ok baby I'm fine x 

Zoo: aw you're too cute xx 

Me: not as cute as you 

Zoo: are we really gonna be THAT couple 

Me: hey I like being referred to as a couple it sounds real

Zoo: yeah I guess . I like calling you my boyfriend it sounds surreal in the best way

Me: I like being your boyfriend 

Zoo: I like having you as a boyfriend 

Me: I like you 

Zoo: obviously, I mean, who couldn't?

Zoo: um, I mean, I like you too Calum

Me: I'm gonna pee myself 

Zoo: it wasnt even that funny 

Me: yeah but because it's you 

Me: you could say anything that's the tiniest bit funny and I would start crying because I find you hilarious 

Me: not like I think your hilarious but because I find you hilarious when your trying to be 

Zoo: *you're

Me: are you mad I'm so sorry 

Zoo: you used the wrong you're twice 

Me: sorry :( 

Zoo: Cal relax I'm not mad at all, now you're hilarious. 

Zoo: I need to go now, Ashton's making me order food, I'll bring you home some chicken xx

Me: ok baby see you soon (yum chicken) x 

I end up messing around on snapchat, trying to take a selfie to post on Instagram. Since we've been here for the summer, we haven't really been using the band social media as much. In fact, I haven't used social media at all, or publicly at least, so I take a few selfies using the snapchat dog filter, flower crown one and the face swap from your camera roll to swap my face with Luke's. Hopefully the fans will enjoy that, and forgive us for being so inactive. 

Almost immediately, my Twitter mentions start blowing up and the pictures are getting reposted lots on Instagram. I smile at how great our fans are, and since I'm in such a great mood (many thanks to Zoe) I follow a few and like some pictures. 

I'm asleep with a smile on my face by the time Luke and Michael are home, and I'm woken up by the smell of chicken being waved in my face.
