Everything Broken (A 5SOS Fanfiction)

Chapter 1 (Part 2)

Catherine's POV:

        Emma's eyes were lit up as she stuck a finger in the direction of a huge crowd. My eyes scanned the sea of people before I realized who she was pointing at.

        5 Seconds of Summer

        They were sitting in the back watching me perform. Mentally, I tried to shake the fact that my stomach was in my heart and keep singing. My hands shook as I strummed the last note on my guitar. I quickly said thank-you through the applause and left the stage.

        My head was spinning so I sat down in the middle of the hallway. This can't be happening. Oh my gosh, it is. I think I'm going to throw up. Only when a thick Australian accent spoke did I snap out of my thoughts.

        "Excuse me, where is the performer?" He asked. I looked up and realized it was Luke. The security guard pointed towards me and they made their way towards me. "Wow, you're Catherine, right?"

        I tried to speak but no words came out, so I nodded my head quickly and looked down. They smiled and I wanted to curl up and die. Emma was going to be so jealous. Speaking of Emma, where is she?

        "Anyway, we wanted to talk to you about your performance. We saw your cover vidos, and after watching you live, we want to know if you'll be the opening act for our tour?" Mikey asked. Is this even possible, to one minute perfrom for a local nightclub and then be the opening act for four amazing guys? Even if this was all a dream, I wasn't going to waste it. 

        "I'd love to" I said.

Ashton's POV:

        Catherine was beautiful

        She was amazing, so talented, and gorgeous. I thought she was amazing in her videos, but seeing her live took my breath away. I could'nt take my eyes off of her the whole perfromance. When I snuck a quick look at Mikey he smirked and winked. How can they be so immature (hypocritical I know). I've seen so many girls, but she isn't like any of them. I've never felt this way before. 

        I can already see Calum also likes her. I just hope that I can get to her before he does.

Catherine's POV: 

        Before long, we are signing a contract in a huge room. This all seems so formal. Basically I will be performing a couple of original and cover songs each concert. I am so stoked! I can't believe that my dreams are about to come true.

        Not only that, but I can't take my eyes off of Ashton. He probably thinks that this is creepy, but I can't help it. I love his smile, his hair, his eyes, even his mouth. But who am I kidding, other, prettier girls throw themselves at him everyday. He can have any of them, so why would he choose me?

        I texted Emma and she is on her way in her. I've already warned her to try not to fangirl, because she almost bawled when she saw an interview with them. How could she handle actually meeting them? I guess I'm about to find out. Soon, Emma walks into the room and, although she seems calm. I see her clench her fists. I noticed of all the boys smiling, Mikey smiled the most. When she sat down, I even saw him cast another glance. I smell romance! "Everyone, this is my best friend Emma! She's going to be my manager." She smiled warmly. Even though she had no experience, Emma was the perfect person to go on tour with. I couldn't imagine going without her.

        The Next Day:

        "Catherine, are you sure you have everything?" Emma calls as we run around the apartment trying to pack. Of course I do. I've been checking for three days, and finally we will be on our way. Fame and adventure, HERE WE COME! My suitcases are all packed and now we're waiting for the bus. Emma is running around the house trying to make sure we got everything. I just have to keep answering "YES!" and hope the bus comes soon.

        After a couple of minutes, there is a knock on the apartment door and Emma runs to open it. Luke awkwardly walks in and waits while we try to get our suitcases off the ground. We overpack all of the time, so these things must weigh a ton.

        Lugging our things downstairs is torture. I'm almost embarrassed at how much I'm panting and struggling. It was probably a terrible idea to pack that mini coffee pot....

        "Catherine, are you ready?" Emma glances at me. This is is, no more ordinary, boring lives for us, from here on out, it was anything but.

        The tour bus was surpisingly small. I guess I presumed it would be huge and spacious, complete with a hot tub and basketball court (A little extreme), but it didn't matter. The boys helped us in with our luggage and we started to unpack. Emma and I both chose the top bunks because they said that we could have our first choices. After we unpack, we'll all watch a movie and just try to get to know each other better, which is good. I wanted to get up early in the morning to get a start on my online classes. As long as I got an education, I was allowed to pursue music, and I didn't want to give that up for anything, even if it meant torturing myself with work. 

        Plus, it didn't hurt that Ashton was smiling at me this whole time.
