nyctophilia (5sos)

chapter one

A/N hi, everyone, it's cat, the author... I'm finally back after about two years, and I've decided to first, go through my story and edit the chapters I already have. (To make them longer, more detailed, and hopefully more interesting) and second, to finish the story where I left off , after I get done editing. That being said, I ask that if anyone, I mean ANYONE is still there, still hoping for more of Nyctophilia, that you bare with me and just reread the chapters that I'm editing, and changing for it to be a better story. Thank you. -cat flanigan

-Grade ten-
Staring blankley at myself in the mirror, looking over my outfit; a black Blink -182 t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and vans. With a black snapback taming my long red hair, I Examine my face. my eyebrows, my vibrant blue-green eyes lined to perfection, My natural pink lips, the bottom one being pierced. I'm pretty pleased with my appearance, and I grab my wallet and head down the stairs and out the door to my mum's silver BMW, that of Which she has been waiting in for over 10 minutes.

"So mum, we're going to pick up Dani, Calum, and one of Calum's friends"

Dani is my best friend, she has been since primary school when I punched Sarah Beasley in the throat for saying Dani was weird. Dani and I had the kind of friendship where we knew we would be the old ladies in wheelchairs running over each other and causing disturbances in our future nursing home.
Minutes later, pulling up to Dani's house, I see Dani wearing black leggings, a mint coloured long sleeve shirt and mint high top converse.  Her wavy brown hair reaching to her mid back. With her is Calum, or Cal, wearing black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt with black sleeves and black vans.
"Where's Cal's friend?" I ask them both as they begin to pile into my mums backseat.
"He went to the loo, he should be out any - " Calum's voice disappears as soon as I see the tall, very handsome blonde boy headed towards the car from Dani's front door. He's wearing black skinny jeans with rips in the knees with a black t-shirt that has LA printed on the pocket, a grey, black, and white flannel shirt with a grey beanie and solid black high top converse with a black leather jacket in hand.  Once he slides in on the opposite side of Dani, I expect Calum to introduce us. I had False expectations as everyone remains silent and my mom begins to speed off in the direction of the venue. I reach to return my music to its loud state and try to concentrate on the surroundings around the car speeding by. I love car rides, everything out the window being so still, so peaceful. Then there's a speeding bullet driving past them without a sideways glance. I'm interrupted from my trance by three light taps to my shoulder.

"So, since my lad won't introduce me, I'm Luke. Luke Hemmings" huh, so he can speak.

"I'm cat."

"Just cat? Do you not have a last name?" Damn he's handsome. Is that a lip ring? Oh god, it is.

"Hmm...I'm gonna go with no" I flash him a quick grin and return to my trance only to be interrupted once again. This time by my mother turning off the radio and announcing that we have arrived at the concert. We all hop out of the car and I tell my mum bye and that I would text her when the concert was over.

A few songs and thousands of screaming fans later, Blink finally plays my favorite song, 'I miss you' I look to my left and see Dani and Calum dancing with each other and Luke standing there awkwardly, singing. His voice is heavenly. "Hello there, the Angel from my nightmare" good timing Blink, good timing.
About two or three songs later, I decided to go grab a pop.

"I'm going to get a drink, do any of you want anything?" No one speaks, so I turn and begin to walk away, until I feel a large strong hand grasping my shoulder. It's Luke.

"I want to come with you" I nod and continue walking.

"So" Luke begins, taking a sip of his pop "I know you don't have a last name, but do you have a number?"

"Like a prison number?" I laugh, "no, I don't"

"No, I mean a phone number, so I can call and ask you out sometime" I can tell I have a stupid grin on my face.

"Yeah, I have one."

"Can I um.. can I have it?" He's nervouse, how cute.

"Hmm...yes, but you have to buy me a piece of pizza first." He flashes a goofy grin at me.

"Deal."
