The Hunt // A 5 Seconds of Summer Short Story

Part 3

AN: Each part will likely be in the Point Of View of a different character!  I'll have a photo of the girl whose POV it is at some point in this chapter!  Also, you can check out the character list for who I picture roughly as the girls.  I hope you enjoy it :)

Ashton Irwin’s POV (Team 1)

“Okay, check that one off the list,” I tell Poppy, looking at the pictures we just took in the firehouse.

“They were nice,” Reilly speaks of the firemen, clinging to my arm to see the pictures as well.

“Pictures on a fire truck, wearing fire hats with a fireman is done,” Poppy announces. “Should we go grab some dessert and talk about our next move?”

“Yes!” I shout.

“Ashton finally gets his dessert,” Calum shakes his head, laughing.

“Whose birthday is it?” Poppy asks.

“Ashton’s obviously,” Reilly smirks.

We slip into one of the many bakeries and they ordered me a slice of cake, telling them that it was my birthday and then we sat down and waited.

“So, we still need a puck from the Bruins game, we need someone to get on stage at a concert,” Poppy reads off.

“The Bruins game won’t be over till quarter to 10, if it ends in regulation, and I say that’s probably the best time to try and get in there,” Reilly explains. “Or catch someone coming out,”

“Okay, so it’s just past 9, so I say we try to get something else done,” Poppy looks at the list.

“It’s probably a good time to try and complete the concert one,” Calum shrugs.

“Yeah, I’m sure the House Of Blues has a show going right now,” Reilly adds.

“Okay, we’ll go there after,” Poppy makes a mark on the list and then we’re interrupted by my cake coming out with a candle in it and people singing Happy Birthday.  Once it’s set in front of me, the four of us get our picture taken then I blow out the candle and we dig in.

After we eat, we hurry towards Fenway and the House Of Blues.

“Okay, we don’t all have to do this one, right?” Calum asks as we walk down the sidewalk towards the venue.

“No,” Poppy consults her list.

“Me and Ash will do it,”

“It was my task,” I say quickly.

“Yeah, but you said at least one member has to complete it; that’d be me.  You can come,” Calum explains and I look at Poppy for confirmation.

“I don’t see why not,” she shrugs.

“Get a video and get each other in it and do a good job, okay?” Reilly demands.  We both nod and I follow Calum.

Somehow, we manage to sneak our way in, dodging security workers. 

“You ready, man?” Calum asks me as we stand at the edge of the pit.

“Ready when you are!” I say back over the music.  I’m not even sure who is playing but that doesn’t matter.  Calum pushes his way between two people and I follow.  We squeeze and shove our way to the front and towards the left side.  Somehow, we end up at the barricades and Calum pulls his phone out to start recording.  I scope out the security up front; one seems occupied and the other one is standing towards the right, just watching the crowd.
