[Strong language, ETC]
The band 5 Seconds of summer recently released an album under the name Calm. They were planning on filming video diaries again for this tour, but when they allow the videographer, Zelie, to bring one friend along, they were no...
I held my drink tightly in my hand as I danced around the backstage area, today everyone was hyper. Luke and Sierra danced together, and Z really started breaking it down, "Go Z damn!" I shouted letting out a little giggle.
The fun was not built to last though, because of course someone had to hit the coffee out of my hand and knock is straight onto Calums black jeans, "Damn it Melani can't you be careful for three seconds!" He shouted at me before storming out of the room.
Calum scares me, I admit. He has large mood swings when it comes to me. One second he calls me his 'girlfriend' or saves me from a horrible situation I put myself in. And then the next he is yelling at me or rolling his eyes.
"I don't know why I make him so mad. Like I understand I dropped my drink on his pants but he didn't have to yell so hard at me." I groaned in defeat, "I've never seen him act this way in front of a girl before, really." Luke patted my shoulder, "He has a crushhh!" Z winked
"As if" I shouted and threw my frappuccino filled towel at her, "No really I think he does." Ashton piped in with a little cheeky grin as well, "You guys are crazy." I roll my eyes and continue,
"Even if he did, I'd be too scared of him to say anything."

While the boys are on stage sometimes I like to stand in the wings. Nobody can really see me from the crowd and I can listen better. But, of course, with my luck a member of tech crew walked past me and hit my arm.
my phone slid across the stage, next to Ashton. Nobody noticed thankfully, but if It stays there it will be shattered by the end of the show. Ashton isn't super far away from the wing so maybe I can just.. grab it?
I mean nobody would really care, right? So I stood up and walked up the stairs, bent down and walked onto the stage. But the crowd sudden started to roar loudly, "Milani?" Ashton tilted his head in confusion.
"THATS CALUMS GIRLFRIEND!" someone shouted, "DAMN CALUM GETTIN SOME CAKE" someone else shouted, which caused the crowd to yell louder. I grabbed my phone and looked up, Calum was facing towards me so the crowd couldn't see the absolute death glare plastered on is face.
I stood up and waved very quickly before leaving the stage, "BRING HER BACK!" the crowd yelled. Oh god.. What did I get myself into? I wasn't expecting it, but Calum came off the stage and grabbed my hand, "You better be ready." He whispered close to my ear.
he brought me out and the crowd was definetly loud. Calum put his long arm around my small figure and waved at the crowd with a giant smile on his face. This is the Calum I always liked, the one that loved everyone and had wit, sarcasm, and happiness.
Who is the Calum I talk to? Is he some imposter? I'm destined to find out soon.
"So this is my girlfriend." Calum said I to his mic. He came close to my ear and whispered, "You can introduce yourself." And moved back for me to speak.
The crowd was yelling quite loudly and if I'm being honestly, it wasn't helping my anxiety in the moment, and Calum could see that, "Hi..hi hello hi I'm Melani!" I smiled when I felt a hand wrap around my forearm, "now let's play some music why don't we!"
Calum definitely saved me from that one.
After I left the stage I noticed Sierra and Z staring me down on the side wing, "Um do you need to tell us something?" Z asked, I sighed and led them backstage and explained everything.
"Oh I feel bad for you." Z said, "I mean yay? Well I only feel bad because he's so mean to you." She grabbed my hands, "Are you ready for this? I mean the paparazzi will follow you both everywhere, and thousands of people will be jealous of you and try to tear you apart."
"Well you could have told all of this to me before I went on stage and he publically put hs arm around me guys." We all laughed, "Don't worry, I can help you." Sierra smiled her signiture beautiful grin.
After she let go of my hands all the boys came back, "4th show done!" And many people cheered, Luke embraced Sierra and made it even more obvious that they would get married.
Calum was very sweet to me on stage, don't get me wrong, but I know that isn't who he really is to me. So when he came toward my direction, I knew he would say something about how I ruined the show or I ruined his pants.
When he was getting closer I grabbed my phone and when to the couch on the other side of the room. He raised an eyebrow at me but I pretended to not see it. The fact that he wonders why I want to avoid him is beyond me.
I looked on my Instagram that had suddenly gained a huge following, "holy shit." I said under my breathe, "12k followers?" My eyes widened.
But when I checked my comments, I no longer was as happy as before.
"You're just sleeping with him for his money" "Dirty slut! You're going to break his heart" "He doesn't even like you"
I mean, that one was true.
"Stop trying so hard, nobody even likes you."
Sierra came over and sat next to me to see what I was looking at, "Mills don't look at those!" She warned, "You will psych yourself out."
"What is she doing?" Calum asks across the room. look who finally cares! We both looked up at him, the y'all figure who was downing a bowl of cereal from the snack table, "She's looking at her comments on Instagram." Sierra frowned
"Why?" Calum asked in the same tone, "oh my God Calum, come on let's get in the bus." Sierra lifted me by my arm from the couch, "Calum I hate to say it but you're not the best fake boyfriend." Sierra said as she grabbed her coat.
I was still focused on the news and articles coming out about me. Not one of them were nice, "Look at this article."

"Milani STOP turn off your phone and throw it in a lake." And with that Sierra pushed me to the bus.
I don't need anyone to stand up for me, most of the time, and I also don't need compliments every three seconds. But it would be nice if Calum would help me through this since he put me out there for the world to criticize.
I turned off my phone and laid my head on the window, "I made a bad decision that I can't change, what do I do now Sierra?" I asked.
