Too Late

mm whatcha say

Alex's POV

I was reading some fanfic about 5sos on Wattpad on the couch when I first heard. Peyton came from the other room and shouted something. He hit the fridge and it shook the whole apartment.

Me and Peyt had been living together for half a year now, and he'd been amazing. There hasn't been any drama in my life since May. And I don't mean the month... Peyton was still struggling, of course, but he was doing better. Our living space was small, but that didn't matter. As long as I had him. He was the best older brother I could ask for. Maybe even better than Mikey, despite the fact that Mikey was the one member of the band who didn't hurt me. 

Peyt had been great to me. He'd fed me, and he even got me into med school, which was my real dream - at least, other than being a musician. I always wanted to sing or be a doctor. This shocked me - Peyt being angry enough to hit something. But at least he wasn't hitting me. And I'm pretty sure I know why he didn't hit me. 

"Woah! Peyt, calm down. What's going on?!" I asked, picking up some bills from the floor. He looked back at me. "Apparently the boys are going on another tour. They're calling it the "5sos Final Tour." My eyes widened. 

"What!?" I shout. "Give me that!" I grab Peyton's phone angrily, reading the article that he was on. The headline said 

THE FINAL TOUR: 5SOS QUITS THE BUSINESS?! 

I kept reading. The boys were being interviewed by some hollywood business type, and they got more and more depressing each question. But I didn't really understand why Peyton was so mad until I got to the dates and cities.

They were coming to LA, where Peyton and I had moved. And it was their last date. That couldn't be a coincidence, right? "This can't be happening." I groaned at Peyton, who looked at me angrily. "Did you know about this?!" 

"What!? No, Peyt, why would you think that?" we were both confused and angry, but Peyt seemed even more angry than I was. "I really don't want them near you, Alex. You're going to get hurt. Do not go to that concert, understand me?!" he yelled. 

I nodded. "Not planning to..." I mumbled under my breath. I understood where Peyt was coming from, but still, I was a little hurt by his yelling. I've been through so much worse, though. And he only wanted the best for me. But still... there were only a few months until they came here. It'd been years since I'd seen them... I missed them.
