We arrived at the studio, the boys were waiting outside the building throwing around a ball. We got out of the car and they came running over.

"Guys, this is Cassie." I smiled.

"Hi," she smiled.

"Hey I'm Ashton," he smiled at her.

"I'm Luke,"

"I'm Calum!"

"Alright so she's going to watch our rehearsal and oh by the way, we're kinda going out." I smiled.

"Nice goin mate!" Ashton said slapping my back.

"Uh right here," Cassie interrupted. I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks. "Let's go uh rehearse." I said.

We went into the studio picking up our guitars, Calum picked up his bass and Ashton sat down at the drums.

"Alright so we'll run through the set list?" Luke asked.

We all nodded our heads. He fixed the strap of his guitar before he nodded to Ashton. He counted off and we began. We started with End Up Here.

Once we were done, Cassie stood up and clapped. "I have listened to you guys before, but live it's really amazing."

I smiled looking down at the floor. "Thanks babe,"

She giggled seeing me blush like that. "Okay, sorry to interrupt." she giggled.

"It's fine," Calum smiled.

She sat back down and listened to the rest of our set. She made comments after the songs. She kept saying how amazing we sounded.

After we had finished we all went back to my house to hang out.

"You're going to have to meet my mum," I sighed.

"I'm not worried," she giggled.

"Really?" I asked looking over.

She shook her head and smiled. "I don't think she'll hate me,"

"Yeah she won't," I smiled.

We pulled into my driveway, the other boys had pulled in behind us. We got out of the car and walked into the house. My mom was in the kitchen baking away.

"Hey mum," I said hugging her.

"Hi Michael." she smiled pulling cookies out of the oven.

"Hi Mrs. Clifford!" The boys shouted as they walked in.

"Mum, this is my girlfriend, Cassie."

"Hi Mrs.Clifford," she greeted.

My mum walked over to her and hugged her. "Just call me Karen," she smiled.

"We don't get to call you Karen," Luke laughed.

"Are you dating my son?" She raised an eyebrow.

"No ma'am," he said looking down at the floor.

"Alright then, would you like some cookies?" She asked.

"Yes thank you," she said taking a cookie off the tray.

"We are going into the basement mum," I said ushering Cassie and the boys downstairs.

"Nice meeting you Cassie," she smiled.

"You too,"

We went down to the basement. We hung out playing FIFA and other video games. We talked for hours and ate tons of food.

It was around two am and Cassie had crashed in my lap. The other boys teased me about having her asleep on my lap.

"Fuck off!" I whisper shouted.

"Jar," Luke smiled.

"I'll give you a dollar tomorrow Hemmings,"

Soon the boys fell asleep downstairs as well. I picked Cassie up and carried her upstairs. I placed her in my bed and pulled the covers over her. I was about to leave when she grabbed my arm.

"Where are you going?" She mumbled into my pillow.

"The couch, the boys took the guest rooms."

"No, stay with me." she mumbled.

"Alright, do you want something else to wear?"

"Clifford, I'm pretty sure you don't have girls clothes, unless there's something I need to know."

Even when we was half asleep, she was still 80% sass.

"Well no but here, you can wear a t-shirt of mine," I threw and old Green Day shirt at her.

"What no pants?" She mumbled.

"Here," I giggled I threw a pair of basketball shorts at her.

"Well they'll do," she giggled.

She threw on the shorts and shirt and climbed back into bed. Once she was done I turned around and took off my shirt and my pants and climbed into bed.

"You know this isn't that awkward." she mumbled into my chest.

"Well good, I mean we are dating so."

"Oh shut it Clifford,"
