Okay, so Avery doesn't know who 5sos are, for the purpose of the book, 5sos aren't 'famous' yet, but the book is set in present times. It's confusing, I know, I'm sorry.

Avery's P.O.V

I may as well make some sort of effort, I grab my bag and take it upstairs to my room. The window has a beautiful view of the city, it lets in plenty of light, illuminating the room.

I set my bag on the floor and take out my toiletries, a towel and something to wear to bed, nothing special, just some old grey sweats and a vest.

I remove any make up I have on, and turn on the shower. The bathroom quickly steams up and I begin to undress.

The water is warm and refreshing, it feels good against my skin. I always think the most in the shower, almost too much.

Michael is all I have here. He has his own friends. What if he forgets about me and leaves me for them? Or he wants me to meet them and they hate me? What if his friends are weird? Mikey's Australian, so are his friends Aussie's too? What if they're not? What if they make fun of me? What if I'm always going to be alone?

I'm thinking too much. So I start to singing whilst washing my hair.

You think I'm pretty

Without any makeup on

You think I'm funny

When I tell the punchline wrong

I know you get me

So I let my walls come down, down

Before you met me

I was alright but things

Were kinda heavy

You brought me to life

Now every February

You'll be my Valentine, Valentine

Let's go all the way tonight

No regrets, just love

We can dance, until we die

You and I, will be young forever

You make me feel

Like I'm livin' a

Teenage dream

The way you turn me on

I can't sleep

Let's run away and

Don't ever look back,

Don't ever look back

My heart stops

When you look at me

Just one touch

Now baby I believe

This is real

So take a chance and

Don't ever look back,

Don't ever look

"WHAT THE HELL!" I screamed as the water turned freezing.

I jumped out of the shower and fell. My leg really hurts, I don't think it's broken, but I can't get up.

"Ave?!" Someone shouted from downstairs. It could only be Michael. How did he get in the house?

"Mikey?" I shouted.

"Are you okay?!" I could hear him thundering up the stairs.

"I.. I think I'm hurt," I whimpered.

"Okay I'm coming in"

"MICHAEL STOP I'M NAKED!" He giggled in response.

"You're my friend and you need help, I'm coming in." I groaned as he swung the door open. I was glad he was here though.

"Just help me."

"Where does hurt?" He frowned.

I pointed at my right calf. He nodded and picked me up bridal style, placing me on the counter and handing me my towel.

"Thank you." I mumbled, I was so embarrassed by the whole situation, I could feel my cheeks turning red.

He cleared his throat and quickly left the room. I heard him rumbling around down stairs, then his feet lumbering back to the bathroom.

He held some ice in a cloth and pressed it against my leg.

"That should help prevent any swelling" He didn't look at me, instead he focused on my leg with a pained expression.

"Are you okay?" I placed my hand on the side of his face.

He sighed and smiled.

"I'm fine, lets get you changed, the pizza should be here any minute. By the way, you really shouldn't leave the house key on top of the door frame"

"Oh crap. Okay, could you help me with my bra please?" He chuckled.

"You know, usually I take these things off of girls" he smirked.

I couldn't help but giggle at his remark. I slipped my sweats on carefully over my legs. I held my hands out for Mikey to take. I cautiously hopped off of the counter, using Michael to steady myself.

"Are you sure you'll be okay to walk?" He questioned.

I attempted to walk past him, to prove my capability, but instead I fell on top of him, we both roared with laughter. He was so beautiful when he laughed. I couldn't help but stare. He was staring to. I didn't realise what was going on until the doorbell sounded. Our faces were so close, lips almost touching. Michael sat up.

"I'll get it" He smiled.
