Imagine being secret bestfriends with all the boys. You had the met the boys at the peak of their fame, you've basically been with them through everything, downfalls, mistakes, heartbreaks, success, all the good and bad. You had all met at an arcade store in New York. You started off as fan and ended up being their favorite human. You love them like actual family , you'd fight for them, you have, but no one knows you exists, well except for their family and close friends. They didn't want you to get any hate or bad experiences, because the way you protect them , they'd protect you. You were currently in a hotel lobby with the boys waiting to check in. Ashton and Luke were checking us all in, Michael and I were joking around with calum, we made a joke and he faked offense causing him to put his hoodie up and pout. We laughed, " look its hoodception" I said giggling. I took a photo and had posted it on my story with the caption "Hoodception" and tagging Michael and calum. We continue to joke around until it's time to get ready. I always go to all of the boys shows, I basically run their 5sos account majority of the time since I'm not big on social media i barely use my own. I was sitting on my hotel bed waiting for the boys to get ready, scrolling through Twitter, when I start getting hundreds of notifications from Instagram, saying people are following me. With a look of confusion, I get on the app and notice Michael posted on his story my post, which instantly connects to my page. He forgot to block out my name.. you sit there just shocked but not too bothered, until you see likes on likes go on your photos and comments some are sweet but then you start noticing the bad. There multiple insults , some asking who are you? And that I don't deserve to know the boys. You start to tear up because you didn't do anything wrong and you're not understanding why people are being so mean with no valid reason. You hear a knock on your door, quickly wiping your face you walk to the door , looking through the peephole you notice it's calum , Michael and crystal. You instantly open the door and Michael hugs you and starts apologizing. You, somewhat surprised,hugged back asking why he's apologizing. " I didn't mean to link you to the photo, I'm so sorry, i see all the mean things they're saying, I deleted the post" he says kind of rushed, with sadness in his eyes. You grab his hand in a way that makes him stop talking, he looks at you as you say " hey look it's totally okay, I can't stay hidden forever, now I can finally go out in public with you guys, I'll learn to cope with it, I'm not mad or blaming you for it". Crystal walks up to you with a kind smile, " I'm here for you, I always have been and always will be so if anyone tries to mess with you they'll have to deal with me" " and me of course, you're my buttercup, I gotta protect you at all cost" calum chimed in, you smile at all of them, " I'm so lucky to have you guys in my life, I love you all but enough of this you two have a concert to be getting ready for and you have to help me get ready" you saying pointing at the boys and nodding towards crystal. They laugh and agree, the boys turn to leave while crystal stays to help you pick out an outfit. Later on in the night , mid concert the boys were playing 'Mrs. All American' it's your favorite due to the fact you had helped them write the song and it was partially about you. You always laugh at the memory of the song, you smile thinking about it. You finally decide to turn your phone back on, after turning it off earlier to stop receiving the notifications. As you see your phone turn on 5 notifications stand out. The first being from crystal had tagged you on twitter. (In photo above) You smiled instantly after seeing, you absolutely loved her, you looked at ashton post it was a photo of you and him on Halloween dresses as Bonnie and Clyde with the caption ' my partner in crime'. Michaels was of you, Southy and crystal at the beach, with the caption ' three of my favorites'. Luke's was of you painting his nails, his caption made you tear up ' you guys are giving this beautiful girl, who has been here for me, the other boys and everyone she cares about. She was there when I was going through the worst times of my life, when I felt my weakest and helped me become strong again, I hold her very dear and near to my heart, so it breaks me that some of you have the audacity to say these nasty things and you don't know her, I'm disappointed, this is why we kept that part of our lives shut from all of you, so she wouldn't get hurt. (y/n) please know we love you and we're sorry❤️) P.s you guys have to thank her, she paints my nails and does my glitter,she gave me the confidence to show up and show off my style. She helped me be who I am. I appreciate her so much.' You were crying backstage like a mad woman. You went to see calums post, you smiled even harder, laughing a bit because the photo he used was one you've never seen, you and duke cuddling on calums bed napping, the caption being ' This is my favorite thing to come home too, my buttercup and my duke, and if anyone has anything bad to say about my buttercup can personally take it up with me, I'd fight to the Ends of the world for her🧡". At this point you were in full out tears. Without thinking you got up from
The seat you were at and ran to the stage, the boys were currently joking around on stage making fun of ashton for something but stopped when they saw you running out, the first person you went to was Calum hugging him right away. Michael spoke into the mic " I guess she saw the post boys" laughing and smiling. They all moved towards you and Calum, giving you a huge group hug and stating how much they loved you. " I love you guys too, thank you so much for everything I don't know where I would be without you, now get back to your concert"
