Finding Them Again // 5SOS

Luke

On the way to Calum's, I don't really think, my mind is completely blank and face is most likely expressionless.

It takes about ten minutes to get there, and once I arrive, thoughts and questions scramble to be heard in my mind.

What the hell was going on? I've come to the conclusion that this isn't some sick and twisted practical joke. If it had been, I probably would have been told by now, plus, I was in England yesterday. Do you know how to get someone on a plane for a 22 hour flight all while they stay asleep? Yeah, me either.

I could have made up 5 Seconds of Summer. But, I mean dreaming up years of my life only to wake up and find out it isn't real, seems pretty extreme.

I was in a coma for 3 years and I'm suffering from extreme amnesia and am still living in that state of my subconscious. Nope, definitely not that.

Although, maybe it is some form of amnesia. I grip the steering wheel tightly and let out a groan of frustration.

No, I'm in a band with my three best friends Calum, Michael and Ashton. The band is called 5 Seconds of Summer. We went on tour with One Direction. Our album came out and was at the top of the charts. That is my reality.

I look at the car's digital clock and realize that I must have been sitting here for about 5 minutes. I undo my seat belt and get out of the car.

I walk up to the Hood's front door and take a deep breath and muster up my confidence to knock. I make three raps to the door before taking a step back and await for someone to open the door.

Wait. Shit. What am I going to say?

"Hi Calum, we're in a famous band together but, only I remember."

Yeah, I don't think so.

I feel my breath hitch in my throat when I hear the door unlocking.

When it opens I see an angry looking Calum grumbling to himself.

"...there are people who have the decency to come at a later time because people are sleeping but not this assh-" he cuts himself short when he sees that it's me standing at the door.

For a few moments, we simply stare at each other. Him in disbelief and me in relief. I don't know what to do so I simply wave and give him a meek smile.

He slams the door in my face.

"Shit." I mumble.

I go up to the door and start hitting it with my fist, "Calum, please I need to talk to you, it's urgent!"

The door swings open and Calum is standing there, glaring at me, "What do you want, Hemmings." he says cooly.

I'm shocked. What is going on?

"Look Calum, I know that this is going to sound crazy but-"

"I don't want bullshit, why are you here?" He says each word slowly and clearly, as if making sure I understand.

"Does the band name 5 Seconds of Summer mean anything to you?" I ask carefully.

"What does that ha-"

"Answer me, Calum." I say, cutting him off.

"No, Hemmings. It doesn't."

"My name is Luke." I say quickly.

"No shit."

"Why are you being like this?" I say angrily, clenching my fist.

"Like you don't know," I really don't.

"You can be pissed at me all you want just tell me, do you know who Ashton Irwin is?"

"What is the point of this?" he's getting agitated.

"Do you know Ashton Irwin?" I say firmly. Hoping to find some sort of remembrance, some gleam of hope.

"Should I?" I can't listen to this anymore, I have to get away. This can't be happening.

I turn around and walk to my car.

"What was the point of this?"

I keep walking.

"Hey Hemmings, I'm talking to you!"

I go to reach for the drivers seat door handle but then,

"Luke!" I turn around and see Calum walk up to me, "What the hell is going on?"

"I don't know," I sigh, leaning against the car door and rub my eyes.

"You come here asking me stupid questions because you don't know?"

"Listen Calum-"

"No, you listen to me, you can't just come to my house after not talking to me for years, to ask me dumb-ass questions just to piss me off!" He exclaims before stomping off back towards his house.

"You're my best friend, Calum." I say quietly. He stops abruptly and turns around.

"What did you say?"

"I said that you're my best friend, Calum. You might not know it but, it's true." I state.

"Just go home, Luke. You're embarrassing yourself enough as it is." He says before, entering his house and slamming the door behind him.

I get into the car and put it in drive and go up the street before pulling into a side street and stopping the car.

All I can do is breakdown.
