Why can't they come home? Because the people they were working with loved their work so much that they are staying longer. They are recording all the songs they have for a debut album. Self titled, 5 seconds of summer. Why do the boys have a house there? To record the album. I wish I found out as easy as it was just written.

As we get off the plane none of us really cared for the luggage so Izzy had to go get them. As if me and Jacklyn would be caring about that right now. It's been 3 months of agonizing pain waiting for them. But Instead of seeing them, we see this guy in a tux in front of a limo holding a sign. 5sos fam. Huh? 'It's the fan base' we were told. What fan base?

After Izzy gets our luggage we go into the limo. All of us staring at each other in shock and confusion. Not Alex though. He was in heaven with the flashing lights in the limo. The only time I've ever been in a limo was for funerals so being in a party one was different to say the least. It was still silent though. No one wanted to talk.

We pull up to house about 7 or 8 (I'm just hilarious) and its. Well. Big. Doesn't suit the boys by any means. As we walk up the path I hear Ash scream "ITS HER!" Obviously referring to Zoey beside me. She just chuckles. "LET DOWN YOUR HAIR RAPUNZEL" she jokes around with him. He comes running down from the balcony he was just standing on. Michael rushed down with him through the front door about to run up to Jacklyn and not only knock her down but realizes he has to pull to a hault because he would smash the baby in my sisters arms. Once he stops he just stares in amazement.

"But he was just born?" He says in disbelief that his little boy is already so big.

"I know." Jacklyn smiles. "We missed you."

"I'm pretty sure I missed you guys more, I had 2 of you to miss." Michael picks up Alex and hugs him tightly and kisses him all over his chubby cheeks. Really chubby cheeks. But hey, at least Cal doesn't have the chubbiest cheeks out of our little family anymore.

I didn't want to ruin the moment with Ash and Zoey or Michael and his family but me and Izzy were just standing there like idiots. I just asked Cal because he wasn't busy hugging anyone or caught up in his own world. "Calum, you know where Luke is?" I didn't want to make it all about us but I mean. I'm here to see my boyfriend.

"He's in the studio recording vocals right now. He'll be out in like 15 mins."

Minutes. I waited months now I have to wait minutes. Bogus. I'm pretty sure I heard the limo driver say 'ouch.'

Calum can sense the awkwardness so he saves all of our souls. "Guys come into the house. Me casa es tua casa."

"I thought you were Asian." Izzy says being impressed with his fake Spanish. I have to admit. That made my mood a whole lot better. Calum just gave her a stare that determined her death.

Once we were settled into our guest rooms I hear thuds of footsteps down the huge set of staircases. Lucas.

He pokes his head into a bunch of bedroom doors on his way down until he sees me. His eyes grow wide and he runs up to me so fast I couldn't even take in his features. Much more mature features. He looks more grown up. I've seen him on face time but .....man.

"JESSY." Luke screams so loud before he tackles me. I don't fall to the ground though. I'm in to much shock and my body is planted to strongly to the ground. I pull away rather fast. Fast enough to make Luke worried and suspicious.

"Why couldn't you come home?"

"At least you are here." He says already getting defensive. He better take it easy because this conversation isn't anywhere near done.

"But you were supposed to be home."

"Jess, we can talk about this later with everyone else."

"Why?"

"Because this change is big for everyone."

"What change?"

"Please just keep an open mind. And be proud?"

"Why were you recording vocals?"

"For the al-" he clears his throat and shakes his head.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me."

"Jess. We didn't even know until-"

"Luke I swear to god."

"I'm not lying!"

"Maybe now but, you did."

"What the hell?"

"Guys can everyone come to the living room?" Michael called from the room next door. I push past Luke and go to the living room. I sit next to Jacklyn and try so hard for steam not to come out of my nostrils. I clench my jaw and look at my arm l e still stands. Engaged. I was engaged by the fact that everyone lied to me. Now I understand why. I rather go 15 years of happiness before finding out the truth that will eventually get better than going 3 months of emotional pain and agony thinking it will get better and then being told its gonna get harder and harder. There is a difference between being protected for your own good and being lied to for someone else's benefit. I am no longer engaged. I am pissed. Only l stands.

Ashton spoke up, standing infront of us with the 3 other boys. Boys I thought I knew well. "I need your guys' attention."

"People that we worked with. Such great people. We played them songs we have written either within these months or unfinished ones we had from when we were back in Sydney."

"Back home." I bud in.

"Yeah. Home." Ashton says falling quiet.

"We got signed to a record label." Michael continued. We all stared in shock and disbelief. A record label? "Capitol records."

Capital records in LA? No freaking way. Only huge deals get signed to a label like that.

"They want an album done for the summer of next year. This is huge. We're making it, guys. We fly into LA next month."

"So when are you guys coming home?" Zoey asks.

"We don't know yet." Calum said.

"What?" Jacklyn said. She wasn't happy. Good. I'm not the only one who wants to break there neck so their vocal chords burst and they won't have a talent anymore so everything can go back to normal.

"After the album is done probably, but after the release we probably need to tour for it if it gets a good response. The first single gets released in like 2 weeks." Michael stated trying not to show his excitement knowing everyone else isn't thrilled.

"So that's it? You guys get this huge deal and no one else matters?" I say standing up for all of us.

"Are you kidding me? You're a huge reason why we got the deal!" Michael interjected.

"What?"

"All the songs the label really liked are songs Luke wrote on his own. I'm guessing that means you were the inspiration behind it." He explained himself.

"Yeah. If only we knew sooner he loved you at 12. You broke his heart once I cant see why he gave you a second chance, Jessy." Calum said. The words came out of his mouth. The lies came straight off of his lips. He doesn't even know they are lies.

Luke's gaze didn't leave the floor. He took a gulp of guilt. I couldn't even look at him. I turn to Zoey who looks as broken as I feel.

"Guess you're the girl people write songs about."

I warned you! Lol *silently sings* "you know it's gonna get better, you know it's gonna get better."
