Calum:

Promise me this,

That you’ll stand by me forever,

But if God forbid fate should step in,

And force us into a goodbye,

If you have children someday,

When they point to the pictures,

Tell them my name,

Tell them how the crowds went wild,

Tell them how I hope they shine

You lay next to Calum on the plaid blanket, staring into the night sky.

The only noise is the sound of chirping crickets.

“Babe,” Calum suddenly interrupts the silence, grabbing your hand and pulling it onto his torso. “Please promise me that you’ll stand by me forever. Because I’m so scared to lose you.”

“You’ll never lose me, Cal,” you assure him softly.

His band is just getting bigger and bigger.

“But if we do split up, because fate wants us to,” he strokes your hand softly, “and one day you have mini yous running around. And one day you’re cleaning out the attic, and find pictures of us and our relationship, and they see. When they ask about them, tell them my name. And tell them about the crowds, about how wild the crowds went. And tell them that I hope they shine.”

“I promise.”

Luke:

Hold on,

To spinning around,

Confetti falls to the ground,

May these memories break our fall

You stare into Luke’s sorrow blue eyes across the room throughout the confetti falling from the ceiling.

The two of you made a promise.

If his band got chosen to join Warp Tour, you would break up.

But if it didn’t get chosen, the two of you wouldn’t break up.

As selfish as it sounded you didn’t want them to get chosen.

But they did.

Memories flash through your mind.

Your first date.

Your first kiss.

Your vacation to Florida.

You meeting his family.

Him meeting your family.

But these memories will only break your fall.

So you turn around.

Michael:

And the cynics were outraged,

Screaming “this is absurd”,

Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world

You watch your boyfriend, Michael, and his best friends/ bandmates up on the stage accepting the award.

Proud tears spring into your eyes.

“This punk-ass little band of thieves won? This is absurd,” a voice whispers to some from besides you.

You turn to them and spot Selena Gomez talking to Taylor Swift.

“Selena?” She turns her attention to you. “Fuck off.”

Ashton:

Long live the walls we crashed through,

All the kingdom lights shine just for me and you,

I was screaming “long live all the magic we made”,

Bring on the pretenders,

I’m not afraid

You sit on the roof of the car next to Ashton, your formal dress  getting wrinkled beneath you.

The night lights mask Ashton’s face, making weird patterns.

You giggle, leaning over to kiss him.

In these moments you don’t care.

You just live.

“Long live all the magic we made!” You yell, raising a hand into the air.

The breeze rushes against it.

Bring on all of the fake people.

Because you can take it.
