I have been working with the 5 Seconds Of Summer boys for almost a week now.  

"What is that smell?" I ask pinching my noise.

"Uhh. Salami?"  Michael says. They all burst out laughing. "Don't roll your eyes at me Walters!" Michael says lightly kicking me.

"Hey watch it." I swat him away.

"So where is Ashton? I ask.

"Most likely talking on the phone to Macy." Calum tells.

"Macy?" I echo. 

"His girlfriend." Luke says putting air quotes around the word girlfriend. "Management doesn't like to be in relationships they think it looks bad."

I look down at my shoes for a moment. "Oh, okay." I answer not knowing what to say. "Well, I am going to make a coffee run. Would y'all like anything?"  After they finish making fun of me for saying 'y'all' they quickly give me there orders. 

As I am walking down the hallway I run in to a large body. "We have to stop meeting like this." Ashton says with a grunt as we both hit the floor. 

I giggle. "I'm sorry." I feel the redness in my cheeks. 

"S'all good." He slurs out. His eyes seem red. " So where are you off to?" He questions me.

"Uh. I am making a coffee run. Want to join me?" For some reason when I say this my voice comes out shaky. 

"I'd love to. I could use a pick me up." He smiles at me. And for a moment my heart skips and beat. But, then I quickly remember that me gives that same heart warming smile to his girlfriend. 

We sit still in the car. Neither one of us bothering to make a sound. I turn on the radio to some mainstream song.  Ashton slowly starts to hum to the melody of the song. Pretty soon the tune of the music has us both shouting at the top of our lungs belting out the lyrics to Katy Perry's new hit. The people in the next car over give us a strange glare. 

"My stomach hurts from laughing so hard." I tell him. Taking a seat across from him at the coffee table.

"Mine too." He shoots me that smile again sliding in to his seat. 

"So, want to tell me why you are so upset?" I question. 

He lets out a long sigh. "My girlfriend. We have been fighting a lot lately..." He trails off in a shaky quite voice. 

"Oh. I am sorry." I never know what to say when people are upset. 

"It's just been different lately. And I know we are over but, I just can't let go of her yet. I know I should but, she's a part of my past that I am clinging on to." His lips tremble.  "We should get going."

"Yeah okay." We get back in the car. 

"Their coffee's are going to be cold." His voice is gruff when he speaks. 

"Slug bug!" I shout punching him in the arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" He asks rubbing his arm. 

"You know a slug bug." 

" A slug what?" 

"When ever you see a Volkswagen beetle you shout slug bug and punch the person next to you." He gives me a confused look." It must me an American thing. " I shrug.

"You Americans are strange." He says. I punch him again. "Hey. There was no car. What was that for." 

"You called me strange." I stuck my tongue out at him.
