~"for crying out loud, settle down, you know I can't be found with you" ~ Amber Finch and her best friend Masie Hood like to get into trouble together, sneaking out at night, bugging Masie's older brother Calum, all the classic teenage girl things. Amber has liked Calum for years, and now that she's older, she hopes she will get a chance. As Calum tries to make it big with his band and Amber has big dreams of becoming a professional photographer, will a romance spark?

"Today's agenda begins with assigning new lab partners."

Hayley, Calum, Luke, Michael and Ashton have all been best friends since primary school, the five of them are completely inseparable, particularly Calum and Hayley. But Hayley is in love with Calum and he's just found himself a new girlfriend who is ruining everything. Will he find out her true feelings? Will it put their friendship in jeopardy?

"It doesn't have to be for real, we can just pretend."

"Calum, why is everyone in this town so afraid of you?" [this isn't scary i promise]

On a quiet autumn evening in 2013, Gabriella slips into her favorite record store, searching for comfort in familiar music. What she finds instead is Ashton Irwin. The drummer of a band on the rise, soft waves, dimples, and a smile that feels like sunlight. What begins as a chance encounter over a CD turns into something bigger. Secret shows, late-night conversations, and the kind of dizzy, heart-racing connection she's only ever read about online. But as Ashton's world grows louder and brighter, Gabriella has to wonder can something so unexpected survive the noise, or is first love always just a fleeting song?

"We can't tell anyone." She told him. "Luke would kill us." "Don't worry, babe." Calum smirked. "It'll be our dirty little secret."

In which two disasters make a masterpiece. THIS STORY IS 18+ TW: addiction, self-destructive behaviour, mature content. This is the first story I've ever written, please bear with me :D

With 5 years apart, so much noise can fill the silence that one had left behind. ••• "Just be my friend?" ««««««««»»»»»»» Calum Hood fanfic ««««««««»»»»»»» [if you've read Sweet Neighbor, this is another Calum+Hayley fic, but it's a different storyline]
