Beside You~a.i.

Ch. 7: Christmas Without You

~Bailey's POV~:
The past few days flew by. It's Christmas Eve. The boys left for Australia yesterday to make it on time. I already miss them. It feels as if there's a pit in my stomach. Why am I acting this way? I get to go on tour for a few days with them. I'll see probably one, maybe two shows and the rest of the time they'll be hanging around or practicing. I'll get to see them again. I just need to focus on that.

"Bailey!!! C'mon dinner is ready!" My mom yelled up to me from downstairs. Ugh I don't want to have dinner. I just want to see the boys again. I talked to Ava earlier and she was pretty upset since she wouldn't be seeing Luke for a few days. She's coming with me on the tour which is good because I don't want to be the only girl alone with 4 teenage boys.

"Bailey!!!" My mom was yelling for me again. I just rolled my eyes, sighed, and got up from my bed to join my stupid family for a stupid dinner. I've always felt like I wasn't part of this family. I have brown hair and they all have dirty blonde hair except my sister who had really light brown hair. And I just don't feel a connection between me and them. I've always seen my sister as more of a friend then a sister. It's weird.

~Ashton's POV~:
It's 4pm in Minnesota which means it's 11pm here but in Minnesota it's Christmas Eve and here Christmas Day is coming to an end. Bailey texted me saying she was having dinner...it's a little early for dinner there but who knows maybe that's normal for them.

It's officially 1am here. So it's 6pm there. I texted Bailey to go on twitter. The boys and I are together right now and we are going to make a twit cam. I wanted to surprise Bailey with a message from us that's indirectly stated to all the fans. We set it up then double checked that both Bailey and Ava were on.

"Hey guys Merry Christmas!!! Or Merry Christmas Eve to those in America and Merry December 26th to those is our time zone in Sydney." Calum yelled at the computer screen camera thing that was recording us.

"Merry Christmas!" Now I joined in with Luke and Michael.

"We are dedicating this little twit cam to all of you girls out there that are adventurous, that aren't afraid to laugh out loud, who take chances, we dedicate this to the bravest of them all. You guys are truly inspiring and life would never be lived to the fullest if it weren't for you girls, and guys like that too." I said. I scratched the back of my neck nervously as Luke played with his lip ring, also obviously nervous and he wasn't even talking.

"We also love those who aren't risk takers and such but we just wanted to show our appreciation for those who are brave and live dangerously sometimes." Michael chipped in quickly. I'm really nervous right now which is odd because I love talking to the fans and making stuff like this for them. Our fans got us to where we are so I love every opportunity I have to show them my appreciation.

"So Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you lovelies!!! And thanks for all of the fun adventures you dangerous and courageous risk takers." Calum spoke cheerfully. He enjoys this stuff too I think even though he doesn't admit it.

"We love you!!!" Luke finally spoke up for a few seconds then went back to his awkwardness. He continued to play with his lip ring making me laugh to myself a little.

"We're heading to Tinley Park, Illinois next!!! See you in Illinois in three days or December 27th. So it's three days for those in Illinois." I spoke fast. I need to calm down. "Hope to see a bunch of you there!"

"Okay guys that was just a little update for you!!! We have to get back to our families but have a good rest of your holiday season!!!" Michael said.

"Byeeeeeeeee!!!!" We all yelled in unison with big smiles on our faces. I love our fans. We ended the twit cam and I looked at my phone. Bailey had texted me a lot of times....

~Bailey's POV~:
The 5sos boys just did a twit cam and they were totally just indirectly pointing out Ava and I. They talked about their 'appreciation for those who are brave and live dangerously sometimes' as they said. It made me cry a little...they tried to do that. They tried to touch our hearts and they definitely succeeded.

This was the best Christmas Eve ever...I've always loved Christmas Eve, but when a famous band talks about how much they appreciate you to a bunch of fans without people actually knowing what they mean, it means a lot. It's a lot to take in at one time. So I burst into tears of joy. Oh my gosh I love those boys soooo much!!! They are all so sweet. Ava is probably talking to Luke right now...those two just need to admit they like each other cause it's obvious they do...I texted Ashton for a little while about what they said and the tour then he had to go to bed and I had to rejoin my family for the rest of the night's fun.

This became a Christmas without some guys I wanted to spend it with but actually we are still all spending it together even if it's through a twit cam and it's not actually Christmas yet. At least it's almost Christmas and we do have the chance to talk. Texting saves lives...along with Twitter. Twitter also saves lives. A Christmas without you is not possible...you can always reach out to those far away and be with them. Even if you aren't physically with them. I'm glad I realized that cause it totally helped me get in the Christmas spirit. Now I can be nearly as excited as my sister but it's impossible to be as excited so I'll be happy with only getting close to her level of excitement. She's a ball of Christmas spirit.

So Merry Christmas to my family and friends no matter where you are. I love you all. Okay now I'm talking to nobody...but Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight.

A/N: Sorry for the wait on this chapter...Merry Christmas even though it's over...hope you all had a good holiday season!!! Now let's just get to 2015!!! Yay New Year means new opportunities :) Talk to you guys later!!! I love you all <3 (attempt at heart) :)
