"I got a job!" I yell, running into the house and into the living room where Luke and the other three boys were sat "I got a job!"

"Where?" Luke asks.

"The old record store in town, I get payed twenty dollars an hour" I say.

"Go fish!" Michael yells, placing his cards down.

"Dude, we're playing flush?" Calum says. Michael groans and I pop a squat inbetween Ashton and Michael.

"Poker anyone?" I ask.

"Don't play poker with Lia, she'll rob you" Luke says "I still haven't gotten my watch back"

"Your own fault for being so damn cocky lucifer" I laugh "So who's in"

-

"Pay up boys, every last penny" I say. They all groan and hand me twenty dollars each.

"I told you not to play with her" Luke sighs, not looking up from the magazine.

"Unlike you we're not chicken" Michael says.

"But you lost twenty dollars" Luke chuckles.

"I gotta get ready" I say. I run upstairs and change into some ripped skinny black jeans and my black polo work shirt. I put my hair into a messy ponytail and put on a bandanna. I apply some lip gloss, winged eyeliner and mascara before pulling on my all black converse and leather jacket. I grab my phone and some money and run downstairs.

"I'll walk you" Ashton says. I laugh and intertwine our fingers. We step outside and I shut the door before walking down the street.

When we get to the store I pull away from ash and he slowly leans down and attaches our lips.

"What time do you finish?" He asks.

"Seven" I say.

"I'm taking you out tonight, pick you up at nine, dress casual" Ashton says. I nod and kiss his cheek before walking inside. I quickly shrug off my jacket and put it in the back. I slip my phone into my back pocket and sit behind the counter. A boy with Black Hair walks over and smiles at me.

"Hey do you know where the punk rock records are?" He asks.

"Umm" I say, biting my lip.

"Are you new here?" he asks.

"Is it that obvious?" I groan.

"Hey, it's okay I know how it feels to be new at a job. I used to work at the cinema and someone asked where screen two was on my first day and I panicked and told them any way and then ran and hid in the supply closet" he says making me giggle. I stand up and walk around the counter, motioning for him to follow. I walk around until I see a sign saying 'Punk rock' I run over and point at them.

"Here you are" I say. I watch as he picks up two green day records, a blink one and Nirvana "You have a great taste in music"

"Thanks" He says "You like them?"

"Love them" I laugh "Have done since like the age of three"

"Have you seen any of them live?" he asks.

"I'm meant to be going to see All Time Low next month but I dunno yet" I sigh.

"You don't know?" He asks.

"It's complicated" I shrug.

"Is it the ninth of January?" he asks.

"I think so" I nod "Why?"

"I'm going to that one too" He says "Me and my boyfriend"

"Boyfriend?!" I ask "Sorry that sounded like really bad, I'm not homopho-"

"It's fine, some people are shocked when I tell them" he chuckles. We walk back to the counter and he hands over the money. I bag them up and before he walks out he turns around.

"I never got your name?" He asks.

"Amelia, but you can call me Lia" I say "You?"

"Marcus" He says "See you around, Lia" I wave as he walks outside then pull my phone out to see I have six texts.

Mikey: Please pick me up some red hair dye on your way back! Me and Cal had a water fight and it's gone ginger! :'(

Cal-pal: Don't buy him any! He started it. P.S we kind of flooded your kitchen x

Lucifer: The boys flooded our kitchen, Mum's gonna go crazy, ps she needs to talk to you x

Mum: Amelia we need to talk, I'm staying at grandma's but will be back in a few weeks x I love you x

Ashy: I miss you, what times your lunch? Xxx

Alana: Please can we talk?

I sigh and type back some replies.

To Mikey:

To Lucifer:

To mum:

I sigh as my fingers dance over the keys and type a quick reply.

To Alana:

Ok

"What's a pretty girl like you doing in a store like this?" A voice asks. I look up and see Ben. I giggle and hug him over the counter.

"Hey Ben, I got a job" I say "It pays well"

"I bet" He laughs "So when's your lunch break?"

"Uh three but I think ash is coming by to meet me" I shrug.

"Oh, you're back with him?" He asks.

"Yeah sorry" I say.

"Don't apologise"Ben says, shaking his head "But don't hesitate to call if you need anything, yeah?"

"Okay" I nod "Thanks Ben"

"Li?" I look up to see Ash at the door and smile.

"Well I'd better be going" Ben says "See you soon Li"

"Yeah, see you Ben" I nod.

"Ashton" Ben nods.

"Benjamin" Ashton says deadpaned. I glare at him and he laughs. He walks over and places a starbucks cup and bag on the counter.

"Chocolate chip Iced latte?" I ask.

"And a triple chocolate chip muffin" He says.

"You're to good to me" I giggle, taking a sip "So where are we going tonight?"

"It's a suprise" he says.

"Hmm" I say "Is it somewhere I can get something to eat?"

"I'm not saying a word" Ashton laughs making me groan.

"Michael asked me to get him hair dye on the way back" I sigh "I swear he's gonna have no hair by the age of twenty five"

"And they say I've got the bald spot" Ashton sighs.

"You do" I laugh.

"You're so mean" He pouts "At least I don't have a birthmark shaped like a heart on my tooshie"

"Not funny" I pout.

"But it's cute" He winks.
