The Only Reason || 5 Seconds of Summer

Chapter Thirty-One;

Abbey’s P.O.V

~a month later

We had officially been living in Australia for 2 months. It felt insane to be thinking about how much has happened. In the last month Ariella and Luke were going strong, Ariella had become really good friends with Calum and they usually hung out in a group of three or just Ariella and one of them. Michael and I have been going good. He kept his distance until my bruise went down though, which was only a week, but it felt terrible. Since then Ashton and I had become pretty good friends too. We occasionally made starbuck runs.

Ariella and I started going to the school too. No one really spoke to us, unless it was to get some sort of information on 5sos, which we wouldn’t give out. We sat together at lunch times and didn’t have any classes together. Each of the boys would take the time out to pick us up on different days. We had to walk about a block before they could though; too many people at the school were fans.

It was now spring too, making it warm and annoying. The boys continued to wear jeans with jandals, ignoring Ariella and I’s attempts to make them stop or just wear shorts; they also found it hilarious how we called them ‘jandals’ instead of ‘thongs’ and despite explaining that thongs are a sort of underwear, they still found it funny. Ariella and I had gone summer shopping together about three times, getting dresses, shorts, tops and what not.

The tabloids were officially attention seeking, they had started hassling Ariella and I, when we were alone, when we weren’t around any of the boys, they always had some sort of question to ask, but we tried to ignore them as much as we could.

The boys had announced an Australia/New Zealand tour in which we wouldn’t be fully attending. We would attend the shows in Sydney, possibly the ones close to Sydney and the ones in New Zealand. We had organised to stay an extra week in New Zealand so we could have some time to see our families, or Ariella’s family.

Michael and I had planned to go and see his family over the weekend so they could finally meet me, considering they had been asking to meet me since we first hit the headlines.

Luke was being really cool and was helping Ariella and I out with some of our subjects, of course Ariella was exceeding in all of her classes, where as I was doing below average, but still passing. My favourite subject was Italian and Ariella’s was English.

Ariella’s P.O.V

“Oh! I get it!” I said to Luke as he explained the method of simplifying an algebraic equation

“Well I don’t!” Abbey complained

“It’s really easy,” I said

“Yeah, because you get it!”

“Abbey, you just need to simplify, it is easy,” he explained the method another three times before Abbey finally got it

“Well that’s enough math for me goodbye,” she said packing up her bag and walking out of the door over to Michael’s house.

“I think we should stop too,” I said closing the book

“I was about to say the same thing,” Luke said walking over to me and kissing me passionately.

“We should go for a walk on the beach,” Luke suggested

“Yeah, okay, just let me get changed, this uniform sucks,”

He laughed as I walked into my room and changing into leggings and a muscle tee, I grabbed a cardigan and my phone. I walked back out to see Luke on the couch waiting for me. He stood up, took my hand and we walked down the road to the beach.

 He let go of my hand and started running down to the water and letting it hit is feet-considering he was wearing jandals-spinning around like a lunatic. I ran after him but stopped before the water, because I was obviously wearing closed shoes. He walked out of the water and took my hand again as we started walking down the beach.

When we were about half way down I got a text.

Calum: *Where are you guys?*

Ariella: *Walking along the beach why?*

Calum: *Can I come please?*

Ariella: *I don’t want to be mean but like I want the time with Luke :-/*

Calum: *But everyone has ditched me :’(*

Ariella: *Ugh, we won’t be long*

Calum: *Okay!*

I put my phone back in my pocket and started walking closer to Luke. He put his arm around me rather than just holding hands and we decided to turn around and start slowly walking back.

“We decided on our tour dates today,” he said

“Oh really? That’s really cool, when are they?”

“We start in a month, we are going to do Sydney one night and then move on to other cities, and then we are going to come back and do another show in Sydney before going to a few surrounding cities, then we will go to New Zealand, and we have made room for a week there and we are going to do two shows, then come back and do a few more places and then that’s it,”

“That’s really cool! I can’t wait to come to some of them,”

“I can’t wait to do them,”

We walked back up the beach and headed back to Luke’s house.

“You guys are back!” Calum said

“Yeah,” I laughed

Luke and I sat down on the couch with Calum and he set up for us to play buzz.

“Buzz?” I asked

“Yeah, it was the only 3 player game I could think of,”

I looked at him with a puzzled look before we started playing.
