Chapter 9

Audrey's POV

We've all gone through that faze when we believe we are the person everyone hates and despises. But we've all also gone through the faze were we know we're hated by everyone and we simply don't give two flying shits.

Well, that's were Mikey was at the moment. He knows that there are people/fans out there who simply don't like him because he is "the least attractive" in the group or the "sore thumb" of the group.

And maybe this has been going on since 5 Seconds of Summer became big, and I know every fan understands it. But I never really knew how big the problem was until I found Mikey drowning in his tears on his bathroom floor.

"Okay big guy. Get up." I huffed as I tried to pull Mikey off the tiled floor.

"Let me lay here." He complained.

"Not happening." I said before I tried pulling again.

"Audrey." He whined quietly before I went 'kayla' on him and pulled his ear tightly up, him following shouting in pain.

"Ow! Stop it!" He shouted trying to claw my hand away.

"Than get your ass up." I scolded him when he finally sat on the bed and looked like a small child.

"Shut up." Marisa said from the couch as she turned it up.

"What you watching?" Mikey said shooting up and going to where she was situated on the large couch.

"Fast and Furious." She said bluntly.

Mikey looked interested as he got comfy on the couch.

Rolling my eyes, I gave up and walked towards the couch and sat on it next to Marisa. Let the marathon begin.

-----------------------------------------

"We should go clubbing." My head snapped to Mikey who was staring at the tv.

"What?" I mumbled with food in my mouth.

"We should go clubbing." He said again, this time turning towards me and Marisa.

"Why?" I asked a little confused, from what I understand he's been nervous about going out and possibly since getting drunk since... the incident.

"Well, we're in the state of party. Why not party?" He shrugged.

"Isn't that Florida?" Marisa asked.

"Shut up." He said scowling at us jokingly.

"I don't know," I said unsure.

I didn't want to get drunk and risk possibly hooking up with a Luke look a like. That'd hurt me more than anyone else in the world.

"I'm down." My head snapped to Marisa who was scrolling through her phone.

"What about Calum?" I asked on instinct. But when I processed what I said, my eyes went wide as I covered my mouth.

She stopped scrolling and looked at me. Her eyes were empty.

"What about him? We're not dating?" She shrugged.

"I-I," I couldn't form any words, yes I knew they weren't dating, but for her to just say it so bluntly after everything that's happened. It's just unbelievable.

"Never mind." Shaking my head before standing.

"Lets go clubbing."

-----------------------------------------

The loud music shook the building as bright neon lights danced around the room. A large dance was placed neatly in the middle of the building while a large bar covered the far back wall. Than large red and black round tables were placed around.

I wore a black cocktail dress with a pair of nude heels. My hair was down straight.

Marisa wore a navy lace cocktail dress with silver heels. Her hair was in a slick pony tail.

Mikey wore a black v-neck with a pair of ripped skinny jeans and his black vans.

"Please don't get drunk and make the same mistake." I pleaded to Mikey.

"Don't worry." He waved me off. "I am only with Lucy. And I'll never touch another woman that way."

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Will you two shut up and take damn shots with me?" Looking over, I smiled before grabbing a shot.

"Cheers!" Mikey shouted loudly before we clicked our glasses together.

Throwing the vodka down my throat, I winced slightly as it burnt but after that I found my self dancing and singing with Marisa and Mikey on the dance floor.

Suddenly, two tall brunettes approached Marisa and I.

One wore a red v-neck with black pants and, what looked like, black doc martens. His hair was wavy and went down to his forehead. With blue eyes, he could be considered attractive, but Luke was beyond attractive compared to him.

"Well hello there." He said huskily, making my grimace and Marisa look at me oddly.

"How about we take you pretty ladies out to our places?" The guys friend suggested.

"How about no." Marisa said moving away from Guys friend.

"Awe. Come on." He pushed as they got closer.

Their cologne was heavy as well as the body odor and alcohol.

"Think about some deodorant." I said covering my nose.

"Why use it now when I'll be getting sweaty real soon?" I felt his hand touch my shoulder softly.

"Like hell you will!" Marisa and I said at the same time.

"Stop playing hard to get." The guy said sounding angry.

"I'm not playing anything. I'm being honest." I said.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Marisa clench her fist and her arm tense up. And it was than I realized I was doing to same thing.

But than I felt a stinging in my rear. Eyes wide, I quickly pulled back my fist and connected it with the guys jaw.

Than shit started.
