You Chose Mine

Chapter 25 - Part 2

“You ready to go?” I nodded as Derek waited at my door.

“I’m too excited to see these posters” I jumped to my feet with a massive smile on my face.

These posters will have to be my favourite so far, not only is it my favourite summer line I have put out but the new 5SOS merch will be on sale as of tomorrow and I am having a celebratory dinner in honour of how proud I am of not only me but the people that have inspired me.

“I can tell” Derek smiled as he put his hand on my back guiding me through my front door. I threw my keys into my bag and just as I looked up I saw Calum coming around the corner.

“Hey” he greeted.

“Hey, what’s up?” I asked as I readjusted my bag strap on my shoulder.

“Smooth move on the text last night” Derek pipped in suddenly, I rolled my eyes.

“My bad” Calum said in a guilty tone.

“Don’t worry. I’ve had my own slip ups, at least yours weren’t in person” I told him to make him feel better. “Did you need something?” I asked.

 “No I just want to see these posters” Calum smiled.

“You’ll see them tonight” I said as I moved past him.

“Please can I go? Please!” he pleaded as he pushed in front of me again.

“Why do you want to go so bad?”

“I want to see the posters!” he continued to use as an excuse.

I sighed, “Fine” he smiled like a little kid as he walked with us to the car. After minutes of arguing with Calum with who was riding shot gun we agreed that it should be me. He shot me a glare through the rear view mirror as we took off, I replied with a sweet smile and a little wave just to rub it in a little more. Minutes later I saw my phone screen light up with a snapchat from Luke. I smiled as I unlocked it, I love getting his snapchats. I opened it and popped up a bouquet of pink roses on a white table with the words ‘wonder what all this is for <3’ I felt my heart skip a beat when I took a screen shot. I felt like a giddy school girl with a silly crush.

“What are you smiling at?” I heard Derek question. I locked my phone and placed it face down in my lap as I hummed along to the radio.

“Love is in the air, do do da do do” I heard Calum sing from the back seat.

I looked to him through the rear view mirror again to see a cheeky smile plastered on his face. I shook my head to him before looking forward once again and singing along to the radio. Suddenly Calum’s body was leant over between Derek and I and his phone was shoved on the dash of the car.

“Smile!” he exclaimed.

Derek pulled a face as he kept his eyes on the road and I put my thumbs up while Calum pouted. “You’re such a white girl” I told him, he took another photo and another and another.

“Selfies much?” Derek laughed.

“Memories mate, memories” he said disappearing into the back seat once again.

“We’ll be a couple minutes” I told Derek as he nodded. I closed the door of the car and walked into the building with Calum; we reached the front desk and got escorted to a room where we could look at the posters. I entered the room and saw the posters laid out before me and I felt my excitement about to erupt from me.

“They look perfect!” I ran up to the single photo of Kennedy that I took and gushed to Calum about how perfect it looked, when another one caught my eye, Luke’s singular t-shirt photo. I walked over breathlessly as perfection in a picture had me mesmerised by his beautiful simplicity and his effortless adorableness.
