Chapter 7 - "We're All Mad Here"

Lisa's POV

"Alright, what song are we doing?" I asked as I hung from the wall on the roof of our hotel. It was mostly flat, but there was a raised platform, where Riley and I sat, and I decided to hang down to look at the boys who sat on the floor below us.

"Well, I was thinking something slower." Logan offered and I heard Riley squeal, tapping my foot twice, making me sit up and look at her.

"Story of My Life." She said with shining eyes, making me laugh.

"That's a thought. Story Of My Life would be quite alright." I admitted and looked down at the boys.

"Isn't that that song by One Direction?" Jake asked, squinting as the sun was setting in it's golden glory over the horizon to our right and their left.

"Yes, it is." Ry and I nodded, with small smiles at his wording.

"But it's-"

"Yes, we know Zach." We all chanted and he groaned before lying down on the concrete.

"Why life? Why do you test me so?" He closed his eyes and sighed, making us chuckle.

"You're a man, behave like it!" Riley threw a fingerless glove at him that we found on the corridor while going up onto the roof.

"Ew!" He squirmed around as we laughed, then calmed down as he flung the black accessory to the side, sighing like a girl.

"You're worse than my sister." I giggled as he grabbed my hand and pulled me into his lap, catching me before I hit the concrete and hurt myself. "Mercy!"

"Jesus." He chuckled. "I won't hurt you, who do you think I am?"

"The devil." Riley said, making us smile.

"And you're an angel, I suppose, Morris." Zach pulled up an eyebrow.

"Well I'm more of an angel than you." She stuck her tongue out and I giggled at their immaturity before looking up at the fluffy clouds above again.

"Sure you are. Okay, so what are we singing?" He turned around and I saw Jake stand up.

"I know exactly what we're singing." He said so suddenly, even I began to feel dizzy. Wonders happen, eh?

Riley's POV

"Good luck." We sighed again before thanking Dermot and walking to Gary and Olly.

"Ah, hey guys." Gary smiled as they stopped talking and we stood in a line in front of them. The cameras were on one side, watching our every move while we looked at each other reassuringly. "You doing alright?"

"We're good." Logan smiled a little and nodded.

"What are you going to sing?" He asked.

"Uh, well we're going to sing Wonderwall, by Oasis." Jake nodded to the guest judge to see his reaction, who only looked a little surprised as he leaned back.

"Oh, great." He said with a small smile, getting settled as Gary told us to start.

(A/N: each time there are more than one of the five's name in the brackets, they take parts and sing different to each other; they harmonise, just like when all of them are singing. Wonderwall is slower, I know, but imagine them performing it with meaning, but slightly faster, with energy. For all you musical people, it's a beat of a hundred, which you can find on a metronome if you want, but it's just a little slower than Troublemaker by Olly Murs.)
