(Lycia's POV)
Lyr and I got up around 6 and called to see if the other girls were awake. Lyric hung up the phone and went to take a quick shower while I picked out my clothes. I pulled out a maroon racerback tank top and some knit jeans with my black vans. Lyric walked out of the bathroom with black destroyed shorts and a Green Day t shirt. Her hair was damp and as I passed her to get in the bathroom, she flipped her hair out at me, getting my face wet. I slapped her back and screamed "Hey!", before shutting the bathroom door. As I stepped out and pulled my clothes on, I heard Daisy and Tasia walk into the room. I dried my hair swiftly and stepped out of the bathroom. Daisy had on shortalls with a black crop top underneath and black converse, and Tasia had a tribal printed tank top with white shorts and black vans like my own.
"We have soundcheck in about 5 hours." Tasia told us.
"You wanna go out with the boys soon? Maybe do some shopping?" I suggested, pulling out my phone to text Cal.
"Sure." I heard a voice from the door, all four boys were standing in the doorway. Calum smiled, and walked his way over to me.
"Hi love." He said huskily, his voice still rough from just waking up.
"Hey Cash Money." I winked and laughed as his face went straight.
"We don't speak of it." Calum said sternly.
*flashback to sitting in the hotel yesterday*
"Tell me something you've never told me." I urged Cal, crossing my legs.
"Alright, I used to have this like..alter ego, I guess you could call it..it was..Cash Money." He confessed, his face getting slightly red from embarrassment. He rubbed the back of his neck, ducking his head down.
I busted out laughing, "That's the best thing I've heard all day."
"Changing the subject, you want an Australian kiss?" Cal winked slyly, the embarrassment no longer evident on his face.
"What's that?" I asked, scrunching my nose.
"It's when I kiss you down under." He smirked, crossing his arms. My face heated up, and I could tell I was beet red. "Now who's embarrassed?" He chuckled.
"Shut up." I muttered.
*end*
We sat in the room for a few minutes, deciding where to go. Mikey and Daisy weren't engaged in our conversation and were rather sucking face in the corner. I looked at Lyric and made a gagging face, making her bust into a giggle fit. We finally left the hotel and went out to a mall nearby.
(Daisy's POV)
Mikey and I strolled in front of the group, swinging our arms back and forth, talking about our anniversary. It was in a couple months, shortly after our tour ended, and it was all I could think about.
"Do you want to do something extravagant?" He pondered, looking down at me.
"I mean, it's a nice thought. But I'm not really the type. I've never done any fancy dates." I shrugged, squeezing his hand.
"Well then this is the perfect time to do something fancy, and go all out. I'll take you out to dinner, and then we could go out to a park and watch the stars." Michael smiled excitedly.
"Sounds like a plan." I beamed.
(Lyric's POV)
We finished our shopping escapades and headed to the venue. We entered through the back entrance, people starting to line up outside. The girls and I looked through the entrance at the back of the stage in awe. We all walked in line and in step, clutching at each other's arms. We made our way slowly to the center of this huge stage. The arena was enormous and I couldn't believe it. It was one of those moments where I realized that I actually made it. It all was kind of a blur most of the time, and those moments when time slowed down, I got really emotional. I started tearing up and saw the other girls were, too. I pulled them into a group bear hug. "We did it, you guys. Can you believe it?"
"That I'm touring with my three best friends? No I can't." Lycia answered, wiping tears out of her eyes.
"Look at this! Look at all of this!" Daisy shouted, holding up her arms. "This is the shit we dreamt of, right here!"
"Holy fuck." Tasia murmured. "It's like one of those times it actually hits you what you do. Like do you realize that this arena is sold out? This HUGE FUCKING ARENA is sold out for us. Everyone single one of these seats is going to be filled. There'll be a sea of people here to see US!! US!!" She shouted almost every word.
We stood in silence, before Lou yelled at us to get on with soundcheck. We played through our soundcheck and it was a breeze; except for one moment when Tasia started singing a completely different song. It was Teenagers by My Chemical Romance.
"THAT'S NOT EVEN OUR SONG!" Daisy yelled, trying not to laugh.
"I'M SORRY!" Tasia sighed loudly.
Lycia added, "We've never even covered that song! What are you doing here? Who are you?"
I realized that we really hadn't and wondered why, it would've been so kick ass. I returned my attention to the debate happening between my bandmates.
"BOOOOO!!!" The boys yelled from the front row.
"Worst soundcheck ever!" Luke bellowed, causing the boys to go into a raging laughing fest.
"YOUR BAND SUCKS!!!" Mikey yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth.
"You're only allowed to say that about your own band, Michael." Ashton scolded. "You can't say that."
"Fine. Then your band sucks, Ashton. How does that make you feel?"
"Alright enough, ladies. I'd like to finish this up. People are gonna be here for a meet and greet soon." I reminded them.
We finally ended soundcheck just as security was leading us to wherever the meet and greet was happening outside the arena. The boys had stayed in our dressing room, as not to avert attention from us. I really did want Ashton out here with me, though; he was leaving in 2 days. We took pictures and signed things for the small group outside. They were all so wonderful and I just love meeting new fans all over the place. Hopefully, we'll tour elsewhere than the U.S. and Canada.
*ding*
Ash: hey beautiful, I miss you
Lyr: I just saw you, goof
Ash: I'm still allowed to miss you :( you don't miss me?
Lyr: I miss you all of the time, don't be ridiculous
Ash: :) guess what
Lyr: what?
Ash: I love you <3
Lyr: I love you more..<3
Ash: not possible.. I'll see you soon, I wanna squish your face.
I quickly slid my phone into my back pocket as a girl handed me a poster of Alicia and I. It was quite unbelievable, honestly. We looked pretty disgusting, it was only a few years ago when we were 15. It was edited in this awesome way that I don't think I could begin to figure out if I tried.
"Thank you so much for this." I smiled and hugged her.
