Away- A Luke Hemmings Fanfic

Chapter 3

Chapter 3:

Finally, 15 long, tiring hours later, I’m finally in LA! It was always Annabelle’s dream to move to Hollywood, and just be a carefree girl who lived by the beach with the stars. I brush away my negative thoughts, and skip to baggage claim.

My current playlist is on full volume, and right now, I’m jamming to So Long Soldier, by All Time Low. Baggage claim stresses me out so much. It’s like, you have 1 chance, 1 shot, to claim your luggage, and if you miss, you fail.

I keep wandering around the little carousel, and then I finally got 2 of my 3 bags.

I’m about to grab what I think is my bag. Just as I go to get it, another hand is on mine. It’s the guy with the winter looking clothes from the plane. He’s wearing huge sunglasses, obviously trying to hide from someone. He whispers to me, “I believe this is my bag.” He grabs it from me, and then takes off toward the car and taxi lane.

People in LA are weird, I think to myself. My final bag comes, and I’m off to my uncles house.

My uncle, Tad, is a music and film producer and editor. He kinda has this crazy cool all-in-one movie music job. It’s insane. His girlfriend, Lana, is the head of the Staples Center, and all the little music venues around the area. I guess you can say they have the best jobs.

He texted me saying to take a cab to their house, or as he calls it, “Tad’s Pad”.

I arrive at Tad’s pad, and he and Lana are waiting outside with pizza in one hand and balloons in the other. What a great way to welcome a guest. It is around 5 so the pizza, I’m assuming, is our dinner. We run inside and start devouring the pizza. After dinner, Tad and Lana show me to the guest room, which has a nice plasma screen tv and a queen bed. This summer may just turn out better than I plan.

I hop on the bed and turn the tv on to E! News.

“THIS JUST IN, AUSSIE POP ROCK BAND, 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER, JUST LANDED IN LA AN HOUR AGO. THEY WILL BE HERE FOR MOST OF THE SUMMER TO RECORD THEIR NEW ALBUM, AND PERFORM WITH HIT BOYBAND ONE DIRECTION IN LATE JULY.”

I start to giggle. I love 5 Seconds of Summer. I’m not obsessed to the point where I know what color socks they wear, but I love them enough to know their names and be excited when they’re in the same city as me! I don’t’ want to get too excited though, because I know how big LA is, and I know the chances of meeting them are slim.

Annabelle was obsessed with this band. She knew every lyric to every song, she could quote their tweets, she knew the one boy, Calum’s sisters name, she knew almost everything there was to know. We made a pact one day. We promised that if we meet one of them, wed have to take a picture. Not just any picture, though. T had to be the boy kisses your cheek picture. I never knew why she wanted that, but all I know is that if there is a slim chance I meet one of these boys, then I am taking that picture for Annabelle.
