Kayci's POV:

It had been just over two hours since i woke up. I'm surprised i woke up at the time i did, considering how i am not an early riser. Right now, i am sitting in our office space typing away on our mac computer and checking my emails. I still haven't heard anything from Krista or Mackenna, but I'm not worried. We promised to keep in touch.

Karly and Jordyn are sat on the couch watching a show that i have never seen before in my life and Mom is in the kitchen flipping pancakes while Jacob is sat at the kitchen island annoying her. Kylan must still be sleeping, because i haven't heard him ask Mom for money yet. He does this every morning and every morning, mom gives him the same answer. No. I had been on the computer for a little over an hour and surprisingly, i had nothing else to do. This is weird seeing how back in Chicago, i would spend hours on end on the computer. Sydney is doing weird things to me. I quickly shut everything down and walked into the kitchen to sit beside Jacob. "But please mom i will be good forever and ever!" Jacob begged as i took a seat. Mom looked back at him from the frying pan and gave him a stern look. "Whats this about?" I asked confused and jacob turned to me with an upset look. "I want to get a drum set and learn how to play! But Mom said no." He told me sadly. Jacob and drums? Oh god. If there is anyone in the world that should never be welcomed to a drum set, its Jacob. He is one of the most destructive, loud, rambunctious and persistent seven year olds around. If mom did get him a drum set, i predict he will break it in an hour, cry for five minutes and then run around the house until he finds something else to do. "Drums?" I asked him and he nodded sadly. "I want to be just like Ashton!" He said and thats when i noticed the 5 Seconds of Summer t-shirt he was wearing. I think its cute that he looks up to Ashton. Ever since Dad told us that we were moving to Sydney so that mom could sign the band, Jacob has been obsessed with them. I remember when he asked me to look them up and as soon as i played a song for him, his eyes widened and his face lit up like a Christmas tree. Even though Jake will probably go crazy with the drums, i think it might be a good idea. After all, he has been obsessed with their band for a year! He even started dressing like Ashton and wearing bandanas everyday. I think these drums would make him incredebly happy. "Oh come on Mom!" I said and she looked at me from over her shoulder. "I think it would be a great idea! Maybe he will actually be good at drums!" I persuaded but she didn't answer. I looked at Jacob who was staring at me with pure happiness and hoping that Mom would agree with me. She shook her head. "I dont know Jacob." She said. "I have a feeling that you will get bored within an hour of playing them." She told him but he violently shook his head. "No i promise!" He begged and she sighed. There was a long pause before she spoke again. "I'll talk to dad about it. Kayci go get dressed, the boys will be here in an hour." She told me and i nodded before messing up Jakes hair and hopping off the stool i was sitting on. "And wake up Kylan!" She yelled after me as i exited the room.

I ran upstairs and banges loudly on Kylans door. "Wake your lazy ass up!" I yelled and i banged afew more times before heading to my room. I opened my closet doors and pulled out my favourite outfit. Maroon high waised skirt, a white crop top and a pair of coach sunglasses. I had already taken a shower this morning, so my hair was dry and natural. I must say it didnt look that bad. I have naturally straight hair, although sometimes it dries partly wavy. I love it when it dries like that. I slipped on my outfit after deciding i would leave my hair the way it was and applied some makeup. Foundation, concealer, eyeliner, and bronzer. Kylan opened my bathroom door without even knocking. I glared at him as i twisted open a tube of mascara. "Morning troll." He teased and i flicked him off. He laughed as he came in and sat on my counter. He was already dressed and his hair was styled up into a quiff. "The guys are here." He told me and i sighed as i finished applying. "Great." I said sarcastically. He have me a strange look. "Dont tell me you're not excited to be stuck in a car with five guys all day." He said and i looked at him as i put all of my makeup back in my bag. I shrugged. I kind of had mixed emotions about today. I really wanted to see the city and get to know the band a little better, but i feel like I'm going to be the sixth wheel all day while Kylan becomes the bestfriend. Not to mention Luke kind of freaks me out. "Let's go!" I heard Ashton call from downstairs. Kylan smiled and hopped off the counter before walking out into the hall and down into the foyer. I did the same.

All of the guys were staring at me and smiling as i walked down the stairs. I waived before heading over to the front door and slipping on my all white converse. (They are actually Krista's converse, but she let me take them.) I stood up straight after i had finished tying them and readjusted the sunglasses that i had placed on gpthe top of my head. The guys were still staring at me. This is weird. "Ok well have fun!" Mom said as she held the door open for us. We all headed out to a black van that was parked in our extremely large driveway that sat just infront of our four car garage. Michael held the door open for me and i crawled into the very back. Michael climbed in and took the seat next to me as Calum and Kylan took the two seats infront of us, leaving Luke in the passenger seat and Ashton in the drivers seat. We all closed our doors as Ashton turned around to face all of us in the back. "Ready?" He asked and Kylan and I nodded. As we pulled out of the driveway Calum spoke up. "Kylan and Kayci right?" He asked and we nodded. "So where are you guys from again?" He asked and Kylan chose to answer. "Chicago." He said and Calum nodded. "Chicago." Michael mocked his voice teasingly. We all laughed at his terrible accent until Calum spoke again. "Thats really cool! It must have been hard to move with so many kids in your family." He said and i shrugged. "It wasn't too bad. The worst part was leaving our sister behind." I told him and he looked confused and shocked. "Wait so there is another one?!" He asked with a shocked expression and i laughed as i nodded. "Our older sister Krista. She is going to be 22 years old in three weeks and she wanted to stay in Chicago so that she could go to medical school." I told then and he nodded. "Thats awesome! Maybe once she is a docter she could take a look at Michaels head to make sure everything is okay up there." He teased and we laughed. "Oh come on if anyone is fucked up in the head here its you Cal." Ashton called from the front. All of us giggled at his funny comment as we reached our first stop. "Wow that was fast." Kylan said as Ashton parked the car. Luke hasn't said a word yet. "Welcome to Bill and Toni's cafe." Michael said. "Your mom said you didnt have breakfast yet, so here we are." Ashton said as we all unbuckled our seatbelts and climbed out of the car.

As we walked inside, my nostrils were filled with the sweet scent of coffee and bacon. I breathed in deeply as i took in the pleasant aroma. "Table for six please." Calum told the hostess. The lady blushed as she grabbed six menus and lead us to a booth in the back. I slid in between Kylan and Calum as Ashton, Michael and Luke filled the seat a crossed from us. We all started looking through the menu as a waitress came to take our order for drinks. We all ordered a coffee and continued to skim through the breakfast options before we all finaly chose something. After we ordered we got back to our conversation. "So tell us about yourselves." Luke finally spoke although he was staring right at me and giving me a seductive look. It was silent for a moment before i cleared my throat and Kylan answered. "I was my high schools quarterback in Chicago." He said. "Thats cool! Do you play any instruments?" Ashton asked but Kylan shook his head. "No but Kayci does." He told them and i shot him a quick look. I didnt want them to know that. All eyes were on me now. I smiled although i wanted to hide my face. "Really?! What do you play?" Michael asked. I froze. I really didnt want them to know. "I dont play anything. Kylan was just-" "she plays guitar, base, piano, violin, trumpet harmonica and she sings." Kylan told them and i facepalmed. God damn it Kylan. Their eyes were wide. "Holy shit!" Calum said. "Thats impressive." He said and i could feel my face going red. "Are you embarrassed?" Ashton asked and i looked at him. It was obvious. "I guess." I admitted and he laughed. "Dont be embarrassed babe, thats so epic!" He told me and he received a sudden glare from Luke when he called me babe. "We have to hear you sing!" Michael said and i shook my head. "Oh no. No no no. I have stage fright i could never-" "well that sucks for you because we are going to a kareoke bar tonight." He said and my face turned pale. Shit. I might puke. What if i puke infront of all those people.

None of them said anything about the colour of my face. Instead they found conversation with Kylan about some video game called "FIFA." Ashton didnt seem to into it though. I just couldn't take my mind off of what Michael just said, a kareoke bar? Tonight? Me? Sing? Infront of people? Hahahahaha no. Suddenly, i was having a lot less fun and i had a feeling that the rest of today was going to be spent thinking about this. This was a really bad idea mom.
