The Phone Call -l.r.h.

Landing

-Andy's POV-

Sleep a lot, I did not. Within ten minutes, I was awoken by a very bouncy plane. There was tons of turbulence as we had began our decent towards the Kingsford Smith Airport, in Sydney. The studio wasn't in Sydney, but rather in Adeline. But of course, there was one in Sydney that we would meet up at.

As the palest people to walk the Earth exited the plane (A.K.A. us), we were all petrified of what we would find on the other side. To no surprise, the airport was chaotic and obnoxiously loud. We all began to gather our bags as we awaited the car that would take us to the studio. The studio was about 30 minutes away with little traffic. I assumed the ride would be closer to 45 minutes if traffic was horrific. Which like most large places, it always is. I grew up in a small town, so I'm not very patient when it comes to these things. I didn't have to deal with all of the chaotic things many have to deal with in a big city.

After waiting for the car, we realized we were at the wrong gate. We all hurried across the airport, up an escalator, and then three flights of stairs. We finally reached gate seven, which to my surprise, was very lonely. Right as we got to the gate, a man with a large yellow paper saying "Hi or Hey Records Studio" caught my attention. I asked if he was the one taking us to the studio, and he simply shook his head. We then proceeded to the vehicle, which was a long black car that resembled a hearse. Once we all piled in, we stared in awkward silence, until Maddy broke it.

"So.... guys...."

We all looked up at her, still not speaking. This pushed her to break the silence once again.

"Y'all can't just sit here. Especially you Addie, you ALWAYS have something to say." She said, dragging out the word always, making us laugh.

She finally gave up and sat back. I put my earbuds in and put on a Spotify playlist. Break My Heart -By: Hey Violet came on first. I settled into my seat, and looked out the window. I stared at the roads that would soon turn into grassy hills with no surroundings. With that, San Diego -By: Blink182 came on, filling my ears with joy. Song after song went by, then we pulled up to a quaint little building. I pulled my earbuds out, and Maddy's mom spoke to the driver.

"Is this it?" She said with a nervous smile.

"It sure is. Another car will come back to take you to the hotel, so please take all of your belongings inside." The man said while pulling our luggage from the trunk.

This was really it. We all grabbed our rolling luggages, put our earbuds in our pockets, and slowly walked towards the entrance. As all four of us approached, our moms were still talking to the cab driver, so we decided to say a few words before going in.

"No matter what happens, we are still the same band. Can we make that pact? That this will not change us." Audrey peeped up.

I responded slowly. "That's the best thing, no matter what, we will always stick by each other."

Everyone nodded there heads, and without warning, Addie opened the door, with our moms now shortly behind us. We opened it to see four tall, lanky, males on a couch facing a TV. They all jumped up as if to great us.

"Nice to meet you guys." A tall, blondish pinkish haired boy said with a slight smile. 

"You too." Addie peeped up.

"I'm assuming you are the ones who are meeting the band." A giggly boy with a short slicked back haircut responded.

"Yes, actually. Do you know who they are?" Maddy replied, and without missing a beat, a boy with curly blonde locks and a scent of vanilla radiating off of him laughed.

"Are you serious? They didn't tell you?!?" He said in a worried tone.

"Were they supposed to?" Maddy said once again, with worry now creeping into her voice.

"Don't worry about it. You are actually meeting us, so it's all okay." A tan boy with a bird tattoo replied, trying to ease our nerves.

"I'm Calum, this is Ashton, that's Michael, and that giraffe is Luke." He said laughing to himself.

Maddy spoke up. "I'm Maddy, this is Addie, that's Audrey, and the one who won't speak is Andy."

"I speak." I mumbled slightly, so nobody could hear, but the blonde boy gave me a slight smile, signaling he heard.

"Well you guys might or might not know about the studio change. They are building one in Adeline, but for now our home studio is in Sydney." Calum expressed.

He seemed like a really cool and down to Earth guy. They all seemed pretty chill, but only time would tell. When Calum finished his words, Ashton told our mothers that John would speak to them in his office, and we could go tour the studio. They reluctantly agreed, and told us to stay safe. Then we began to walk.
