Gabe's POV:

*Thursday, July 18, 2014, 6:05 p.m.*

The guys and I picked up the Skype call from 5SOS as soon as it came up on Cole's laptop screen.

"Hey guys!" the one named Ashton greeted us. "So, we're 5 Seconds of Summer!"

"Hey," I smiled, "We're IM5."

"It's nice to meet you all! So my name's Ashton. You lads want to introduce yourselves?" he looked to his bandmates.

"I'm Calum."

"I'm Luke."

"And I'm Michael."

"Good to meet you, I'm Gabe. Guys?" I looked at the others.

"I'm Cole."

"I'm Dana."

"I'm Dalton."

"I'm Will."

"Cool, cool," Ashton nodded. "We're really excited to be going on tour with all of you. It's going to be loads fun. We've been listening to your music since we found out you were going to open for us and I have to say, we're very impressed. You lads are good!"

"Really? Thank you," Cole smiled, obviously proud of us.

"How does that one, one go?" Ashton looked to Calum.

Calum smiled and looked to Michael as they both started singing, "Baby on your mark, set, go! Go! Let's go!"

Ashton and Luke joined in, "Looks so good, you got me screaming!"

"Woah! Woah! Let's go!"

I was internally freaking out at the sight and sound of 5SOS singing one of our songs, this was incredible. A band who is as big as they are, being famous enough to have toured with One Direction, was singing one of our songs right in front of us. This was crazy.

"Love that song!" Ashton clapped while laughing.

"Yeah! We actually just put up a cover of your guys' song She Looks So Perfect," Will said to them.

"Yeah, we did an acoustic version," Dalton added.

"Yeah, we saw it!" Calum told us.

"We really liked it," Luke added.

"Love that song," Dana repeated what Ashton had said about our song and we all laughed.

This was going to be a great tour, I could already tell.

"It's only for a month," I told Darce.

"Four weeks," she sighed. "Thirty-one days."

"I know," I rubbed my hand up and down her arm.

"That's such a long time."

We lied in silence, not knowing what else to say.

"We'll still talk every day."

"What's the time difference?"

"Eight hours," I told her. "We're behind here."

We were quiet again. I couldn't take it.

"I gave Mr. Grainge your guys' demo," I told Darce, changing the subject.
