Ariana's pov

It was Wednesday night, well Thursday morning, and I was awoken by my phone ringing, so I answered it, it was ten minutes to five in the morning, who could be phoning me at this time?

"Hello?" I said groggily, "Ariana it's mark" mark said, "Why the fuck are you calling me at almost five in the morning?" I asked, "Sorry, I'm in London right now, I flew out yesterday, I have the best news ever" he said, "Go on" I said, "You know we were talking about that capital summertime ball that's happening in London on Saturday?" he asked, "Yeah I do" I said, "Well I booked you a place to perform!" he said, "Really?" I asked, "Yeah! You go on straight after 5 seconds of summer, sorry about that one" he said, "Its fine mark, thank you so much!" I said, "Ive booked you a flight for today at ten in the morning, I've emailed you everything to print off and just call me when you land in London and i'll come get you, also sorry to say but we'll be sharing a hotel room with the boys for the next week or so" he said, "Its fine mark, i'll just stay clear of Calum" I said.

"Okay, see you when you land" he said, "Bye Marcus" I said hanging up and lying back down on my bed, setting an alarm for seven.

"Mark I've landed in London, I'm just getting my suitcase" I said into the phone while trying to find my suitcase on the conveyer belt, "Okay, I'm just leaving the hotel, wait out front for me" mark said, "Okay, see ya" I said hanging up and grabbing my suitcase, wheeling it out of the airport.

It took me like five minutes to find the exit of the airport, it was massive, and when I got outside, mark was waiting for me, "I got lost" I said laughing as mark grabbed my suitcase from me and helped me into the van, "They insisted on coming" mark said, I was about to question him when I turned and saw the 5sos boys sitting in the seats of the van.

"Hi guys" I said smiling and taking my old seat, and what do you know, it was next to Calum.

"Hey Ariana, so how have you been? What have you been up to?" Ashton asked, "Nothing really, I've been in the studio a lot, wrote some killer new songs with Marcus in the front there, recorded a load of songs, just working on an album, what about you guys? How is the tour?" I asked, "Great! Its such a great experience because one direction fans actually like us" Michael said, I chuckled.

"How is one direction? Are they as good looking in real life as they are in photos?" I asked laughing, "Even more good looking" Ashton said, "Wow they must be super good looking" I said, "We're obviously more good looking though, right Ariana?" Luke said, "Yeah of course Luke" I said giggling.

"Calum you're being quiet, you weren't quiet on the way to the airport" Ashton commented, "Wait, I get it" Ashton added, looking between Calum and I, it was getting real awkward.

"So, uh, nice weather we're having?" Luke said, "Luke, its raining" I said laughing, "Yeah, but if all else fails, talk about weather" Luke said laughing, I chuckled as we pulled up to a hotel, I followed the boys inside and up to our room, Ashton and mark helping me with my suitcases, what gentlemen they are.

"Sorry Ariana but there's only two beds, Mark, Michael and I are in one and Calum and Luke were in the other, so I guess you need to go in that bed" Ashton said, "Mark can you please--" mark cut me off, "Sorry kiddo, not this time" mark said, I sighed, "Fine" I grumbled as I set my suitcase down and sat on my bed, "Im going to change into pyjamas" I stated, going to the bathroom and changing into shorts and a top, I took off my makeup and put my hair into a messy bun before walking back into the room and saw everyone was lying in bed.

I sighed and walked over to my bed, "One of you move over please" I said nice and calmly, "No, go in the middle" Calum said, "Wow, first time you have spoke to me" I said sarcastically before climbing over him, not caring if I hit him or not, "Ouch" Calum said rubbing his chest, "I didn't even touch your chest" I stated, "Yes you did" he said, "In your dreams" I said as I lay down.

I tried to sleep but I couldn't, it just wasn't working, being in the same bed as Calum and not cuddling him, being next to Calum and not feeling his arms around my waist, and plus the jet lag was killing me.

I sat up and looked around, the others were all sleeping, I leaned over Calum and grabbed my phone, turning down the brightness and scrolling through twitter.

@arianasmith: CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SUMMERTIME BALL! also jet lag is such a killer :o

I eventually felt tired and leaned over Luke, placing my phone on that bedside table and laying back in the bed, closing my eyes and falling asleep.

"You know, for being broke up, they're looking pretty darn cuddled together" I heard a voice say, I fluttered my eyes opened and that's when I realised I was cuddled against Calum and he was cuddled against me, I quickly ahifted from my spot and sat up, "No teddy bear, come back" Calum mumbled in his sleep while flailing his arms around, I giggled slightly but stopped as I realised I 'hated' him.

"You miss him Ariana, just admit it" Ashton said poking my cheek, "No, I don't need Calum in my life anymore, if he doesn't think I'm special enough in his life to spend ten minutes a day to call me, then that's fine by me, I have better things to do" I said standing up and going to the bathroom to wash and get dressed.

"You have a practice today, downstairs in the gym thing, use the boys and pretend they're your band when it's your turn to practice Ariana, and boys try your best when it's ariana's turn to practice, and uh, I won't actually be there to watch you practice but ill see you guys tonight" mark said, "Okay, bye mark" the boys said, "Bye Marcus" I said waving to him.

"You guys can practice first if you want, it's up to you, either way you're all playing anyway" I said, "I know, we'll just look over your stuff and try that, while playing a game, we don't exactly have to practice, it's only 3 songs we play and ours are going to be old ones anyway" Michael said, "Okay, here's the three songs of mine, I just wrote them with Marcus, we finished yesterday, well I did on the plane" I said.

It was Saturday already, Calum and I were broken up since Sunday, that almost a week already.

"These are all brand new?" Ashton asked, "Yeah, just wrote them this week, I haven't even recorded them yet, why?" I asked, "They're all about a break up" he said, "Yeah well inspiration has to come from somewhere" I said as I watched them attempt to play my songs.
