Prologue

DISCLAIMER:
The story is meant to be like this, if you no-likey
Tough luck
-Rhiannon
 
“Madi, can you pleeeeeeease come to the music room? The boys and I really want to show you something…”
“But Ash I really have to get my work done for music next period. And then you can show me!” Ashton and the boys where always wanting to show me and get my opinion on their new songs.
 “Madi, you know there is such thing as copying my notes!! Pleeeeeeease!”
“Fine but I better get this done and you are to blame if I don’t!! And can the girls come?”
“Sure.”
 
I walked into the Music room with Kelsey and Rhiannon. Mikey and Luke were already tuning their guitars, Calum was tuning his bass and Ash was sitting being the drums warming up.
“Hey Mads!!” the boys all said as I walked in.
“Shit’s gonna go down…’ Rhiannon whispers falling in step with Kelsey.
“You guys ready?” Luke asked the other boys. “1, 2, 3, 4,” Ash starts the countdown.
 
(A/N: MAKE SURE YOU READ AS LYRICS DO SOME EXPLAINING!! Song on side)
“Back in high school we used to take it slow
Red lipstick on and high heel stilettos
Had a job downtown working the servo
 
‘Cause I never wanna be that guy
Who doesn’t even get a taste
No more having to chase
To win that prize
 
You’re just a little bit out of my limit
It’s been 8 years now you haven’t even seen the best of me
And in my mind I’ve been over this a thousand times
And it’s almost over let’s start over
 
Back in high school we used to make up plans
Called you up one day to meet split ends
 
‘Cause I never wanna be that guy
Who doesn’t even get a taste
No more having to chase
To win that prize
 
You’re just a little bit out of my limit
It’s been 8 years now you haven’t even seen the best of me
And in my mind I’ve been over this a thousand times
And it’s almost over let’s start over
 
You’re just a little bit out of my limit
It’s been 8 years now you haven’t even seen the best of me
And in my mind I’ve been over this a thousand times
And it’s almost over let’s start over”
 
The boys are out of breath from the singing. Rhiannon and Kelsey both ‘Aww’ and Rhiannon says
“Aww, the bullshit of this is too much to handle!’ Ash send her a what the fuck kind of look Kelsey is laughing.
‘That.. is…so you!’ She manages in between laughs.
Still laid back, ‘Guys, I want to get a slushie and its mandatory that you all come and get one too.’ I move to follow Rhiannon out the door before she tells me to stop. “I’ll go get one for you, you go copy Ash’s homework.” I strike that as odd but nothing for me to make a note of it. I turn my attention to Ash and ask if I can borrow his homework.
 
“First I want to talk to you” Ash mumbled not making eye contact
“Madi, were you listening to the lyrics of the song?”
“Yeah, It sounded great!! And a bit like our whole story with the 8 years and stuff”
“Well… umm... That’s cause it, ah, sorta is. I-I wrote that song and about u-us”
I stood there in shock. Ashton wrote a song about our friendship?
“A-and I umm, I know we have been friends for 8 years and stuff and I-I umm” This was starting to freak me out. Ash was nervous? He never is, especially around me.
“I have sort of developed feelings for you and I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me on Friday night” he mumbled rubbing the back of his neck.
 “Ash, I- “
“You know what, forget about it, I should of kept our friendship the same”
“- I would love to!!” I cut Ashton off.
“Wait, you what?”
 
“I said I’d love to,”

Chapter 1 - Wamwesia

“I wish that I could wake up with Amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories that never can escape”

 

The music keeps playing on the loud speakers while Michael and the filming crew gets ready to film his scene. Rhiannon runs off to say good luck to Michael while Kelsey, Ash and I walk to the dressing room to get me ready.

“I still cannot believe that you got us into this video Ash! Why?”

Ashton talked management into letting Rhiannon, Kelsey and I into the video, as they needed some girls to have fun with the boys (Not it that way!!!)…

“Well we would have had to get in some model or actor or someone us boys really wanted you girls to be in it with us and it is about braking up so it would make sense if our girlfriends were in it. Not that we are going to break up or anything. The 5sos Fam already knows you and loves you, Madi! No need to be all uptight about it!”

Ash was right I was uptight about this whole situation! I know most of the 5sos Fam know me and like me but I still get a lot of hate from, from who I call ‘Fake Fans’. If they were real fans they would know it was the right thing and it makes Ash happy.

 

Rhiannon’s POV

Mikey is next up to sing Amnesia to the camera. Madi and Kelsey are behind the main camera that’s filming Ash, making faces and rude gestures in an attempt to make him laugh. It works every few minutes or so and whenever the director the cameraman looks remotely in their direction they stop dicking around and are suddenly in a very serious conversation.

‘Cat?’ Mikey asks.

‘Mhm?’ I respond absentminded still paying attention to Madi flipping off her boyfriend.

‘I swear to God if you do what Madi and Kelsey are doing, I wont buy you Macca’s afterwards.’

Now my attention is on him. ‘Fine then, I’ll go ask Calum or something.’

‘I’ll eat your order.’ He tosses back.

‘I’ll…’ I falter, scrambling to find something to top that ‘Go with him.’ I finish. It’s lame but its better than nothing. Mikey’s triumph smirk drops.

‘Then-’

‘MICHAEL GET YOUR ARSE HERE!’ Never have I been more grateful for Calum to interrupt my conversation. Mikey rushes off, stopping once to grab the acoustic guitar one of the crew members was holding for him.

 

I jog up to Kelsey and join her in making gagging noises as Madi and Ash are doing this weird little dance-hug thing.
