Imagine A World (Luke Hemmings a.u.) [in editing]

Madeline's POV

A little while later, my iPod screen lights up. at first I think it's nothing, just another Instagram like, but them I see it.

@ashtonirwin saw your video

I start freaking out a little bit. Ashton actually looked at my DM? This can't be real.

But it is. I go to my DMs and see that all four of them have looked at it now. How is this possible?

Ashton seems to have liked all of my posts, and commented on a few of them. Calum commented a little, as did Michael. Nothing from Luke yet, though. My heart drops a little.

Then I get a new DM.

@luke_is_a_penguin: Hey, it's Luke from 5SOS. Ur really good, u know.

@maddie_singer: Is this really u?

L: Of course it is. It's my account, isn't it?

M: Um, wow, I'm kind of freaking out right now. Do u really like my covers?

L: I like the fact that u work. Most girls who DM us are just asking for follows. U didn't even do that.

I feel my face heat up. My heart is beating at top speed.

M: This is a little bit...sudden. Exciting. I can't believe it's actually u.

L: Well, it is. Hey, do u have a phone or something?

M: Yeah, I do.

L: Could I have ur number? It would be easier to text u than this.

M: Oh, yeah, sure.

I tell him my number and he says okay. The next thing I know, my phone is ringing. Strange. He said he would text me first.

It turns out that it isn't him quite yet. It's my best friend, Helena. I pick up and immediately hold my phone away from my ear because of her screams.

"Helena, what the eff? What's wrong with you?" I ask, trying to stop the ringing in my ears.

"I WAS STALKING YOUR INSTA AND I SAW THAT ASHTON FREAKING IRWIN LIKED ALL OF YOUR POSTS AND CALUM AND MICHAEL COMMENTED WHAT THE HECK DID YOU NOT TELL ME, MADELINE ST. GEORGE???"

"Ah, calm down for crying out loud! Why were you stalking my account?"

"I was just looking over your old videos. I was bored. But why did they go on your account?" she asks, slightly calmer now.

"I DMed them at the right time, I guess. They saw it and I guess they liked it," I reply simply.

"What about Luke? Has he seen it or anything?"

I'm about to tell her that I'm waiting for a text from him, but I decide against it. She's the kind of person who would spread it around that I'm in direct contact with a 5SOS member and that I have his number and stuff.

"No, just the three. Um, I have to go. I need to, uh....listen to some music. Bye, Helena."

"Wait, but-" I cut her off by hanging up, and just in time, too. My phone's screen lights up with a new message.

(Bold-Luke; Italics-Madeline these will be the same every time they text)

Hey. Is this the right number? It's Luke btw.

Yeah, it's Madeline, hi :)

Hey. So...What's up?

Not much since we last talked 5 minutes ago.

Ha ha, ur hilarious. But seriously.

Oh, my friend called, she saw that Ashton and Michael and Calum were active on my account. She was freaking out a little.

Oh man.

What's up?

Just not the best that it already has a little publicity. I'm not saying u shouldn't, ur amazing, it's just not very good if this gets out. We're going to have a flood of questions now.

Oh.

Hey, it's not a bad thing. Don't worry about it. So, where do u live?

Woah now, Aussie boy, that's a little quick, don't u think?

Uh...

Jk, don't worry. I live in a suburb outside of Boise, Idaho. USA.

Really? Our next gig is in Boise!

I know! I have tickets, I can't wait, it's my first concert ever.

That's awesome! When's ur birthday?

What is this, 20 questions? Just kidding. Same as urs, July 16th. Same year, too.

Weird! Hey, the boys are calling me to bed now, text me in the morning, okay?

Okay. Good night :)

You too :D

I smile and shut off my phone, giddy with excitement. I have Luke Hemmings's phone number. I just had a conversation with him. I'm going to see them tomorrow. I wonder if they'll recognize me at the meet and greet before the show.

I climb into bed, my mind running wild with possibilities, and I slowly fall asleep.

*********************************

It's Ashton's 20th birthday and I'm kind of freaking out, but I'm writing a conversation between Madeline and Luke. Weird.

Whatever. Please vote, comment, and follow!
