All these years / 5 Seconds Of Summer fanfiction

Chapter 1

Chapter One.

2 Years later

"And now the new Aussie sensation 5 seconds of summer, with their new single 'don't stop'" I sighed, I really did not want to be reminded of the four boys who forgot about plain, boring Darcy. So I flicked through the radio stations to see what else was playing. They're everywhere at the moment. I can hardly even go to the shop now without hearing one of their songs or seeing their faces in a magazine. It's difficult enough getting over somebody, especially when you have to see them every single day.

At the moment I've been distracting myself by song writing or having girly days with my best friend, Laura. I met her couple of months after the boys left to go on the world tour.

"I hate it how you can miss somebody who you know does not miss you." I think out loud.

"Tell me about it!" Laura responds, already knowing what I'm talking about. "I wish you could just get over them, you know?" She sighs and rolls her eyes.

"They're coming back next week, Liz invited me over, that's Luke's Mum. I said I'd think about it. I'm not sure I should go." Laura says nothing. I know what she's thinking. I'm thinking it too.

But there's something so enticing about those four boys. I can't quite put my finger on it. It makes me, and everyone who meets them, want to be best friends with them.

1 week later

"Hey Darce, you've got a message from Liz. It says the boys want to see you." Laura shouts from the kitchen.

"Tell her that I'm not feeling too good so I won't be able to make it."
I can't bring myself to face them. Not after two years of no phone calls, or text messages. I've had no contact with four of my best friends. But I've seen them, absolutely everywhere.

About a month after they left my Mum went back into hospital.
She's always been in and out of there like a yo-yo. But this time it was more serious. She's always suffered with migraines so the doctor ran some tests & scans and he found out she had a brain tumour which was rapidly spreading throughout her brain. It was slowly killing her. It had already spread through most of her brain so she was too late for surgery. She had two options; have it removed and run the risk of dying, or take some pain killers and spend her last few weeks at home with family. So long story short she chose the second option.

It was at that time I needed them to be there for me but not one of them would return my calls or reply to my texts. My life became repetitive; wake up, check my phone, go to school, come home, go to work, come home & then sleep. I was stuck in the pattern of life and I needed something to kick me out of it.

It was then I met Laura. I work on a farm & she came to work there also. We immediately clicked and I ended up telling her every tiny detail of my life. We balanced each other out, her being crazy and me being the slightly more normal one, and we became best of friends.
