Printed In Black // 5SOS

4 - American Music Award // part one

z o e

"Printed In Black has arrived!" A man yelled, making all the paparazzi turned their cameras to us as we got off the car.

Immidiately, the sound of cameras and flashes filled my ears. I was the last one to get off the limo, and I seriously couldn't walk properly at the moment.

I nervously walked on the red carpet, still fazed with the loudness and crowdness around here. I looked around the red carpet, and my eyes actually widened when I saw Iggy Azalea was a couple feet away from me.

"Shit, that's Iggy!" I whispered on Clover's ear, as I tugged her hand. She looked towards the direction I was looking. Clover then shook her head, smiling a bit.

We stopped at the spot they asked us to, posing and smiling as the flashes went crazy. We did some pretty silly faces though, we couldn't care less about it.

"Zoe!" Someone yelled, making me turn my head to the paparazzi, smiling at the camera as they took a couple shots.

We then moved on from the spot, and I saw lots of celebrities wandering around the red carpet just like us. There were some really cool artist though, such as Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, Will Smith, One Direction, and many more. And I almost tripped when I saw Selena Gomez walked in front of me.

We stayed for around 10 minutes on the red carpet, before they finally told us to enter the venue. The door was still far away from our position, because the red carpet was extremely long.

We just tried to act cool as we walked. Maybe Clover and I fangirled a little when Harry Styles sent us a smile when we passed them. Karen also went to hug Ariana when she passed us, because we went on tour with her. Selyn was also enjoying her time when Ansel Elgort stopped and talked to her.

Everything was really quick though. We didn't get to spend much time, because the show was going to start soon and the situation was pretty hectic. So the girls and I continued walking to the door.

Different artists passed by, and with the fact I saw Lorde made me emotionally unstable. I was about to pull Clover's arm, and tell her that Lorde was going to walk past us, but my phone vibrated.

I quickly took my phone out, and I figured that someone sent me a text. I opened the text, but my eyes still glancing around just incase Sam Smith walked by me.

unknown: hi mum! the show is starting, but i'm nervous as balls righ now, wish us luck! :)

I read over the text dumbly, before narrowing my eyes at the text. Okay, what I remembered was that I was still a virgin with no boyfriend.

me: apparently, i happen to be not your mom, maybe you mistyped the number or shit like that. and second, i don't remember giving a birth to a child bc im bloody 17 years old

I typed in very quickly, before pressing the send button. Actually, I could just delete the message and forget about it, but I just feel curious. I was about to lock my phone, but my phone vibrated again.

unknown: oh fuck im so sorry. my hands were shaking when i typed in the number.

me: breath in, breath out. fake a smile, and do it for the ones you loved (whatever you're performing) (wow wise word from me)

unknown: wow thank you, will try. and you seem nice

me: im literally a bitch when you meet me, im not even gonna lie

I sent, but since I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking to, so I bumped into someone. I dropped my phone and nearly fell, but someone held my arms, pulling me up.

"Fuck, I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking." A thick Australian accent spoke, as I stood up properly. I quickly took my phone from the floor.

"Oh no, it's totally fin-" I began as I stood up, but then I stopped mid sentence. My eyes widened at the sight I was actually looking. He quickly removed his hands from my arms.

We both made an eye contact, and now I could tell that he was Ashton from 5SOS. I pursed my lips together, as I saw Ashton's face hardened.

"Zoe!" Someone called, as I turned my head to my left. It was Selyn who was standing a bit far away from me, and she was motioning her hand for me to come.

"Ashton!" I heard another voice called, and I cringed at the name. I turned my head to the right, and it was Luke - I think - doing the same thing like Selyn.

It was fucking awkward I swear. Literally, Ashton and I were in the middle, and Luke and Selyn were standing on our sides, but a couple feet away.

I blinked a few times, before I backed away from Ashton. I glanced at him for the last time - well maybe glared - and he was having the same expression like me.

I scoffed and turned my body around and started walking to Selyn. She had this wide eyes, and her mouth was hanging open.

"His face literally hardened when he saw me! What the fuck? We are the one who's supposed to be mad!" I hissed angrily, making sure my tone was low, only for Selyn to hear.

"Zoe, calm down. Maybe he didn't mean it? Let's just see later though." Selyn said, as she rubbed my back like she always did.

I sighed and sent her a small smile, before we entered the venue. It was a big one, just like last year's and the other award shows we went. But I felt nervous for this year's AMA's. Maybe because a lot of artists were here, and the fact that we were also performing was pretty crazy.

Selyn led me to our seats. We sat two rows behind Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and Lorde. I sat between Clover and Selyn, Karen sat beside Selyn.

"Guys, we're actually nominated for four awards." Karen said, as she leaned forward so we all could see her face.

"Yeah, Artist Of The Year, Favorite Pop/Rock Album, Favorite New Single, Favorite Group." Clover added, and we just nodded in response.

We all knew it though, but we were just nervous about who we were against with. It was One Direction, Taylor Swift, and even 5SOS.

"We gotta show what we got later on." I mumbled, referring to 5SOS. Most likely that dick Ashton. We literally did nothing wrong? And they even bought four copies of our album.

The girls and I were discussing about our performance later on. We decided to go as natural as we could, because we sounded really good when we did it that way. But our discussion didn't last long, as a sound interrupted us.

"We're behind them?" A fucking familiar voice said. I immediately knew who the voice belonged to, because I just heard his voice a couple minutes ago.

The girls and and snapped our heads to our back, revealing the one and only, 5 Seconds of Summer. I scoffed loudly, making sure they heard me well, before returning my gaze to the front.

"Who's the asshole now?" I muttered, only for my girls to hear. I clenched my fists and shifted on the seat.

"Bastards." Clover mumbled beside me, and I could feel Selyn started to tap her fingetips on her thigh.

We all knew Clover rarely swore. She did it when we pissed her off, or when she was really mad. It was quite uncomfortable when she was mad, because the whole group would also be angry at nothing.

"Just a couple of hours." Karen mumbled, as she sighed deeply.
