"You're looking good Sammy" Ashton remarked as I sat down next to him in the van he came to pick me up in. I smiled at him as I buckled up my seatbelt.

"Cheers, nice van. I thought you owned a car though" I replied

" Its my dads van. I can't exactly fit a drum kit in my car can I" He said and I smiled

"Oh yeah. That makes sense" I fiddled around with the radio until a song came on. It was One Direction

"Please turn this off" He  said and I did as he asked.

"You have a problem with One Direction" i asker and he shook his head

"Not with them, but let's be honest, their old songs suck!" He said and I nodded.

"Very true" I replied and switched the station. The 1975 came on and he smiled.

"I like this band" He stated, momentarily looking at me before turning back to the wheel. I waited for him to say something else, but he didn't. Neither did I. we both sat there in complete silence.

As we were driving along I took the chance to look at my surroundings. It was the middle of July at the moment which in Australia meant winter. Here in England it was summer, but probably still colder. I wasn't looking forward to winter here. From what I had heard, it sometimes goes below 0 degrees.

Although I was used to buildings and business, the lack of beaches in London unnerved me and made me slightly uncomfortable. I stared out at the tall buildings that looked dull against the setting English sun.

"Sammy" Ashton said gaining my attention

"What?" I asked. I immediately regretted saying it because of the harshness in my voice but he just smiled

"Cheer up moody, were her. Come one I'll introduce you to my band mates" He said and gestured for me to get out the van. I did just that and followed him up to the door

"I'm Ashton Irwin. I'm part of the band that's playing tonight" he said to the man on the door. He grunted before looking at me

"And her?" he asked and Ashton gave the guy a smile

"She's my plus one" he said with a cheeky grin. The guy gave a grunt sigh and let us through.

The minute we entered the door we could hear voices.

"Cal, give me that back its mine" One voice called

"Will you two shut up for gods sake" Another called earning him a mimicked chorus of his words. Ashton laughed

"That's my band mates. Go ahead and I'll catch up with you. Ive gotta get my kit" He said and I nervously nodded. I slowly made my way to where the voices were coming from. There was a door ahead of me labeled 5SOS. I guess this was them. I cautiously knocked

"Come on in" a voice yelled out from inside the room. I did as I was told and slowly pushed the door open.

"Hey Ashton told me to come in here I'm..." I began before I was cut off by a familiar voice

"Sammy. Now way"

I turned to see Calum standing besides me.

"Youre the calum that's in Ashtons band?" I asked and he nodded

"I think you'll find its my band. I mean I basically created it" A boy with purplish spikey hair said

"Shut up Mikey" Calum said before turning back to me. The boy Mikey just smiled at me so I politely smiled back

"So your the Sammy Ashton's been moaning about because your dad won't shut up about you" Calum said and I laughed

"Yeah that would be me" I replied.

"Well as you know I'm Calum, that over there is Mikey and the grumpy pants in the corner is Luke." Calum said pointing to himself and the other two boys in the room. I almost gasped when I saw Luke. It was Luke hemmings, the boy who lived across from me. Did he recognise me? it had been a couple of years since he lived there. He just stared at me before looking back at the guitar he had been practising.

"Ignore him. He goes into all serious mode when he's playing the guitar. Not that he's any happier the rest of the time" Luke glared at Calum before looking down again.

"Yeah its just I thought... I um..." I stuttered

"you thought?" Calum asked. I noticed Luke was glaring at me.

"I urr, nothing. don't worry it's nothing" I stuttered again and calum just smiled. we heard a knock on the door and calum gestured for me to open it. I opened it to find Ashton there.

"You took your time. Luke's being grumpy again ash" the boy who I now knew as Mikey said.

"He'll cheer up when he's on stage" Ash replied cheerfully, the only one who didn't seem to mind Luke's sour mood.

"So Ash. I'll have you know that I already know your new Australian friend here" Calum said with a smirk. I quickly spoke before Ashton could reply

"So are you Cal" I said and calum just smiled

"We all are. Anyway how do you already know her?" Ashton asked and calum grinned

"I may have spent an extremely long plane ride sitting next to her this morning"

"oh well okay. How come I didn't see you at the airport?"

"I left literally the minute we got off the plane"

"oh well, okay"

"Do you mind. I need to practice, we're going on in a minute" Luke moaned and we all stared at him

"What" He said angrily before turning back to his guitar

"I need to practice, we're going on in a minute" The other 3 boys mimicked

"oh real mature" Luke shouted before picking up his guitar and heading out the door. He angrily pulled it open before storming out and slamming it behind him.

"Just ignore him Sam, he gets aggy on show nights. He's an ass but he's slightly less off one normally. I mean I should know. He's my stepbrother" Calum said with a smile.

"5 second of summer. You're on in 5" A voice called causing all 3 boys to stand up.

"Well that's our cue" Mikey said and grabbed his guitar. Calum did the same and Ashton grabbed his drumsticks.

"Let's go!" They shouted in unison, making me laugh
