The Intern // 5 Seconds of Summer

Gunnin' by Hedley

"Aren't you gonna go talk to them? Maybe say some ore-goodbyes?" Lou asks as she runs her fingers through the ends of her hair.

For some reason, I dont know why, I've been sulking in bed. Because I have to leave my new friends and I don't have much time left... But I'm wasting what time I have left sulking.

I dont know how this is supposed to end. Happy? Sad?

I dont know what's in store of Ashton and I. I dont think this was supposed to happen, really. I didn't want this to happen, I didn't ask for this to happen.

Love just happens. Fuck.

"I think I'm sad." I say bluntly as I run my hands over my arms. "They're busy today so I won't get to see them until maybe before the show." I sigh.

"I think the crew is having a goodbye lunch together. They won't be there for long cause they're packed with interviews but they'll be there nonetheless."

I smile, knowing that's what she wants. I wish I could sit down with Ashton and talk this out but I dont want too. I know it'll hurt. Maybe I won't be able to accept his response.

I want to stay together and for you to move home with me.

I think we should split.

I've met someone else.

This was just a fling.

You were a bet.

Michael wants you.

I shutter but pull my legs up in front of me. I stare a Lou who is sitting on her bed, same style as me and thinking.

"So what about Beat?" She raises a brow, obviously unsure what to say. "I heard Calum repeatedly saying 'I love you's into his phone before the show.

I bite my lip as I just stare at her, unsure of what to say. It isn't up to me to tell everyone and even Calum is still shook up about it all.

"It was just a scare." I nod. "But it was scary for both of them." I continue as I twirly my thumbs.

"I can imagine. They have to much success in their future." She says thoughtfully and I just nod in agreement.

There's a silent for a few minutes, obviously both of us deep in thought. I think I've fallen in love with her, really. She's become like that cool aunt to me.

We both just look at each other and she sighs before getting up and moving beside me, pulling me into a hug.

"You've come a long way, Ryan." She smiles and squeezes me. I give up fighting and hug her back. "You're a lot nicer and more pleasant." We both laugh and she let's go, still smiling.

"You're excited to go home?"

"Yeah!" She smiles. "How about some breakfast?" She gestures towards the door.

"Sounds good." I get up and flatten my shirt.

"Are you okay?" Ashton asks, nudging me.

I smile and nod, twirling the pasta around my fork. I'm not too sure what to say, especially because I'm afraid I might cry.

He's been rushing around all day with the boys and all of them look to be a bit sweaty and their hair all messed up. I'd go with them but its not in my little description, there's other girls for that.

"I'm gonna miss you..." I say quietly, staring into my plate.

"We'll figure this out, I promise." He says, leaning over and kissing my cheek.
