Everything Broken (A 5SOS Fanfiction)

Chapter 5 Part 2

Catherine's POV:

        As I exit the stage, Emma is freaking out and immdediately envelopes me in a hug. 

         "Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh you wereamazingiamsoproudogyou!" She is already breathless but keeps screaming.

               "Calm down, Em, before you kill yourself! I am so excited. It was wild out there!" I reply. 

                "Oh, and you'll never guess what else!" Emma squeals.

                 "What?"

                  "Michael asked me out while you were onstage. We're going out in a couple of days."

                "I'm so happy for you!" And I really am, she seems so bubbly and glowy, I can't help but feel good for her. Together, we sit and listen to the boys while they perfrom, and they're so incredible live! After we've eaten a little and talked, the boys are finally done and come offstage. Ashton hugs me again, and he's really sweaty, but right now it doesn't seem to matter. Tonight was amazing.

                   "You were fantastic. Your cover of our song was better than the real thing!" He teases. 

                "Well you weren't too bad yourself." I reply. The boys are quickly ushered out to meet fans. After they're all done, we're just going to a hotel for the night. We'll probably just hang out, watch a movie, and order in some food. Tommorow they have a few interviews during the day, so Emma and I are going to hang out until my date. 

                    "By the way, we are spending the entire day tommorow getting you ready. I suggest a little shopping is in order." Emma whispers to me. 

                       "I can't wait." I reply. On the way to the hotel, Emma basically maps out a route that we're going to take. I trust her, because if anyone knows about shopping, it's her. I remember the day when we shopped for four hours on Black Friday because of the sales. 

                        The hotel is beautiful, all huge and white. Emma and I literally run to the room after we check out, and it's massive! There's even a jacuzzi in the corner. Emma orders some pizzas from a nearby place, and we make our way to the boys' room. They're waiting on the couch with a couple movies on hand, and we settle on Footloose, because it's a classic and Emma and I love to dance along. Whoever we're with, she isn't afraid to try her terrible dance moves. Let's just hope she doesn't elbow someone in the eye this time....

                        "Catherine, the people in charge of one of the radio interviews tommorow wanted to know if you would join us? They want to meet our opening act." Luke asks. They want to interview me? Of all people? 

                        "Oh my gosh Cath, this is huge! Your first interview! You have to do it." Emma pleads. 

                        "Sure, that would be great." I smile. Hopefully I won't act like a total fool. I'm terrible under pressure. The movie starts, and immediately everyone's hooked. Halfway through, the pizza arrives and we take a break to eat. Even though I ordered four pies, they're gone immediately. I guess I wasn't prepared to share a meal with four teenage boys. My mouth drops open as Luke heads for his fourth slice. Ashton and Michael are a little more courteious, seeing as they want to be nice and save at least one slice each for Emma and I. We play the movie again, and during the last big dance number at prom, Emma gets up and grabs my hand, and we start dancing like maniacs, doing the routine that we've done millions of other times. After, we sit down and continue to laugh, and we look up to see the boys' faces, shocked. Soon, Emma replays the scene, and motions for the them to get up and dance with us. She shoves Ashton towards we, and soon he's spinning me around in circles. Michael is dipping Emma, and Calum and Luke are doing some ridiculous salsa. At the end, we are sitting on the couch laughing at our ridiculous number.

                       "So, what do you guys want to do now?" Michael asks. 

                      "I think I'm going to head to bed." Emma says. I sit up to follow her, but Michael beats me to it.

                       "I can walk you to your room." he offers. Emma nods and smiles, then moves over towards me.

                      "Don't worry about shopping tommorow. If you can't make it in time, my killer fashion sense will pick out a fantastic dress." She winks.

                        "Thanks. And don't worry, I'll probably go to bed in about a half hour." I smile, and Emma and Michael leave. Calum makes his way towards me and sits down.

                       "So, how's life on tour so far?" He questions. 

                       "Pretty awesome, incredibly busy." I shrug.

                        "Exactly. But it's a great opportunity, you know? Once in a lifetime."

                     "I couldn't agree more. I love being onstage, but I really haven't had the chance until recently when I got gigs at bars and clubs." Ashton comes in with a glass of water, and I make room for him on my right. Luke comes as well, and soon we're just sitting and casually talking. After a half hour, I make my way back to our room. When I get in, I notice Emma isn't in there. Then, I realize Michael never came back from "walking her to her room." Just as I suspected, I find them sitting in a lounge area, talking. Emma notices me, and finally says goodnight. Michael makes his way back upstairs, and Emma and I follow. When I finally climb into my bed, I feel a happiness that hasn't been there in a long time. I try to fall asleep, but I just keep thinking about Ashton, and I get a happy, warm glow inside. I look over at Emma, and it's like she knows what I'm thinking about. Maybe she's feeling the same way, just about Michael. Maye she's thinking what I'm thinking.

                       "Best day ever?" Emma grins.

                        "Best day ever." I smile. And I mean it.
