Chapter 1
WC: 3179
5 years prior
If you took satan himself and slapped him in the black skinny jeans your mom wears, it would be Luke Hemmings.
I hated Luke more than life itself, more than rain on a beach day or the last cigarette in the box.
It used to not always be like this. My band and his band used to be best mates, he and I had alittle chemistry. Alittle. Not a lot, but a tiny drop.
We hung out every day after school, we played songs with each other.
That was until Luke stole my song.
Stole my song. A song about how I felt after the events of the breakup and Luke Hemmings changed a few pronouns and broadcasted it across the school. And fucking 5 seconds of summer got the credit for it.
I didn't blame the other bandmates. Ashton and Michael were oblivious to when Luke had even written the song and Calum, well Calum said he just showed up to rehearsal and played the bass.
Luke claimed he came up with it in a dream. Isn't that the most bullshit excuse ever? A song about my personal life made up in his dream.
He claimed I stole it from him. Even more bullshit.
I wrote that song, expressing all the emotions I had felt concerning the breakup and he stole it.
~~
"I can't wait to leave this school," Maddie said fixing her bag on her shoulder. She was significantly shorter than all of us and I wasn't even sure how her legs could catch up. She was maybe a foot shorter than Kiara who stood at almost 6'. Maddie was the bassist of our band and what she would call the 'hype man.' She was bouncy, bubbly, and not afraid to call people cunts to their faces. She liked to watch Star Wars movies and play soccer in her free time.
"Aren't we all?" Kiara rolled her eyes at the girl's words like they weren't known. Kiara was our lead guitarist who was actually from America. She moved here for Dad's job back in grade 7 and we had been friends ever since. She had dark skin with her natural hair and she towered over most of us. She wasn't that much taller than me but she still intimidated the crap out of me. When Kiara was not volunteering at school or saving the world, she was usually with one of the two bands.
"I actually like school." Willow smiled, sunglasses covering her bloodshot eyes. Willow was our drummer. And when Willow wasn't banging on drums, or with her girlfriend, she was usually getting high or drinking. She was the party one of our group and was the best fucking drummer in all of Australia. Don't tell Ashton I said that.
"This is the first time you've been at school all week," I told her rolling my eyes. Then there was me I guess. I'm the lead singer in the band. Sometimes guitar, sometimes keyboard, sometimes wherever I was needed.
"And? That doesn't mean I can appreciate the beauty of learning." Willow said sarcastically. It was good to say we were all done with year 12 and just wanted to leave. Kiara was going back to America for university, Willow was marrying her girlfriend and moving to Spain, and Maddie was going to university in England.
I was staying here.
It was hard knowing that after this year I'd be alone. The band would be broken up until further notice and I'd be stuck here, alone.
"Georgina Summer? Where's Georgina summer?" A voice boomed through the hallways. I turned my head to look behind me to see Michael Clifford with one of those megaphone speaker things. His red hair made it easy to spot him in the hallway, so I didn't know why he couldn't spot me with the same hair color.
"Shut the hell up, Clifford!" Maddie yelled loudly at the boy whose head snapped in our direction. He had a huge smile on his face as he ran up to us.
"Women." He said still in the megaphone making us wince. He realized he was still talking into it and pushed it down, "women." He said again a lot quieter, shooting us all a grin.
"You really couldn't have just called me?" I asked unamused staring at the megaphone in his hand.
"You wouldn't have answered." He pouted.
I leaned in towards him slightly, sending him a sarcastic smile, "Exactly."
"You're no fun, but hey, I'm here to invite you to this party Ashton's having tomorrow At his house," Michael said looking at us four.
"I'm in," Willow said smiling before turning and walking away suddenly.
Michael's eyebrows scrunched in confusion
"o-okay? She's in. Maddie's also in because Calum will be there and-"
Maddie shook her head and her arms at the boy, "wait wait wait. You can't just assume I'd come to a party just because My boyfriend is going."
Michael raised his eyebrows at her before she grumbled, "I'll see you there." She said before walking away in the direction Willow went
"Kiara is always in," Michael said smiling. Kiara shrugged, "always. Bye Gigi."
"And you." He said looking down at me, "You'll say you won't come because Luke's coming but then you'll break and come."
Michael Clifford thinks he knows me so well, doesn't he? I shook my head giving him an amused smile. "We'll see about that."
~~
"Black or red?" I asked holding up two dresses as the girls lay sprawled across my room. Willow was on my roof smoking a cigarette that I wouldn't let her smoke inside, Maddie was on the phone with Calum and Kiara was actually giving me input.
"You have red hair," Kiara said unamused. "You don't wear red on red."
I held up my hands in defense, putting the red dress back in my wardrobe, and slid off my jeans and T-shirt before sliding on the dress.
"Calums picking us up," Maddie said pulling the phone away from her mouth for a second.
"Hell no. I do not want to be stuck with you and your boyfriend making out in the front seat for 5 minutes before we leave the house." Kiara said glaring at Maddie.
Maddie pouted, "fine he'll pick me up."
"I cannot 7th wheel all night tonight." Kiara groaned and rubbed her eyes with the palms of her hands.
My eyes narrowed at her, "I don't have a partner."
"You and Luke have so much sexual tension that it feels like you're still together," Kiara said making me groan in response.
"It's true, you guys need to like bone already," Willow yelled from the roof. I walked over the my window and smiled at her sarcastically before shutting the window and locking the latches.
"Just because me and Luke dated for the tiniest amount of time doesn't mean we have any chemistry left," I said grabbing my trainers and putting them on my feet.
Maddie looked at me puzzled, "tiniest time? are we talking about the same Luke? You dated for four years."
"Maybe alittle more than a tiny amount of time. Either way, it doesn't change how much I hate the guy. He stole-"
"My song." Maddie and Kiara said at the same time rolling their eyes.
"We know. Still don't know how that happened, I mean it has been seen that people come up with the same ideas at the same time." Kiara said.
"Not the entirety of a song!" I said before sighing, "Look, me and Luke are history. And by history I mean we hate each other's fucking guts. It's not changing."
A tap came from the window and Willow smiled before blowing her hot breath on the window. She drew an arrow heart and wrote L+G in it backward.
I rolled my eyes before standing up and closing the blinds on her.
"I'm not saying that you have to, bone, him tonight, I'm just saying try to be civil for the rest of us," Kiara said with a pleading look.
"I'm alwasy the civil one." I argued, "It's him you should be telling this to."
------
I had already regretted coming to this party.
I didn't have school in the morning and I was staying over at Maddie's so there was no reason for me not to let loose and have a drink. But god did I hate the taste of alcohol. I also didn't like who I was on alcohol, it wasn't me I guess.
I didn't mind being the designated driver.
"Here," Willow yelled over the music handing me a red solo cup of something. It looked like piss if I was being Honest.
"Don't get your pants in a mess, it's apple juice." She said rolling her eyes at me. "I brought some in my bag for you so you wouldn't feel left out."
I smiled gratefully at her before taking a sip; Apple juice at parties always hit differently.
"I'm going to find Danica." She said patting my shoulder and looking around for her girlfriend. "Call me if you need me." She disappeared into the crowd as soon as I nodded in approval.
"Hey, pretty girl." I turned my head to see Ashton Irwin smiling a toothy grin at me. Ashton and I had been friends since we were 4 years old, making him my utter and total best friend. He's how I met Michael, Calum, and the other one.
I smiled brightly at him before throwing my arms around his neck, "come here often?" He asked dipping me like we were dancing.
"A lot actually." I winked at me causing him to blush and set me back on my feet. This was our relationship, anyone from the outside would think we had been dating for all our friendship but in reality, he was just my best friend.
"Didn't think you'd show up. If you get tired or bored, just go up to my room. I'll tell Maddie where you are." He said taking a sip of his beer can he had.
"Thanks. Neither did I," I said raising my eyebrows slightly. "But Michael is just so persuasive with that megaphone. I mean who let the loudest kid in the group get a megaphone?"
Ashton laughed and shook his head, "Luke bought it to shut him up in the moment, however, it just made everything worse."
I rolled my eyes, that was such a Luke thing. Only thinking about now and not the future.
"Are you guys like ever going to makeup? I hate not being able to hang out with both of you at the same time." Ashton said, his face turning serious as his fingers danced over the top of his cup.
"You know how bad the breakup was," I said shuffling my foot uncomfortably. It was true, even before Luke stole my song our relationship was in shambles.
"I know." Ashton sighed, "I'm not trying to tell you who you love but come on Gigi. You and Luke were unbreakable. What even happened?"
I shook my head slightly, tugging on my lip ring anxiously with my teeth. Me and Luke never told anyone why we broke up. After you date for so long people expect you to last forever, but that wasn't the case with me and Luke.
It was all I ever heard these days. 'Why did you and Luke break up?' 'Y'all were so cute!' 'Such a shame'
People just fall out of love.
"Sorry," Ashton mumbled seeing my discomfort. I shook my head again waving him off, "No no it's fine." Maybe I did need a drink.
I turned my head to the living room to see some kid throwing up in Ashton's mum's vase. Never mind.
"Shit." Ashton said, "Hey mate! That goes outside not in the vase." He yelled at the guy pointing towards the backyard, "I'll talk to you later alright?" Ashton said kissing my cheek before running off towards the sick guy.
I sighed at his absence, Taking a sip of my drink. "Gigi!" Maddie yelled over the music, pulling Calum along who was pulling Michael.
"Hey," I said to the three.
"Where'd Ashton go?" Michael asked looking around.
I pointed to Ashton dragging the sick guy by his shirt towards the back door. Michael 'ahead' in recognition and turned back to us, "'Well see' huh?" He smiled
I rolled my eyes at him bringing up what I had said yesterday. "We did see. And I chose to come." I said.
"We're always happy to see you, Gigi," Calum said smiling at me, I hadn't talked to him in a while but he was just always with Maddie.
"I'd like to take the credit for it," Maddie said smiling proudly.
I rolled my eyes at her, "it was Michael's obnoxious voice actually."
Michael smiled at her in a mocking 'ha ha I win' kinda look but then it fell and he snapped his head towards me. "Wait what?"
I smiled brightly at him as he pouted, "I'm dying my hair back." He threatened.
My mouth was agape and I glared at him, "Rude Michael! We're twins." He shook his head before putting the hood of his hoodie over his head to hide his hair. "Not anymore."
"I liked it when it was black." Calum said, "Oo or the green."
"God I hated the green." I said, "It made my hair completely dead." Me and Michael alwasy dyed our hair the same color. It was fun, alittle weird, but it was fun.
"Your hair is always dead," Maddie said reaching out to touch my hair, making me smack her hand away.
"Maybe we should take a break after this color," I told Michael.
He nodded, "Yeah or we may have to shave off our heads. This is the 5th color this month."
"Speaking of shaving off our heads, where's Luke?" Calum said more to Michael than me.
I scrunched my eyebrows at him slightly, "why does shave heads make you think of Hemmings?"
Michael rolled his Eyes, "Calum shaved Luke's head in grade 5." Calum had a wide smile on his face as he remembered that day. I didn't remember that day, maybe we hadn't met yet but I only remembered Luke with long hair.
"I don't remember that," I said shrugging and turning around looking for the blonde boy for Calum. "If I see him I'll let you know."
"I need a drink." Maddie said looking at us, "One of you want to come with me?"
Calum nodded before Maddie grabbed his arm and pulled him along towards the kitchen. "I need one!" Michael said waving goodbye to me quickly before following the couple, who probably wanted to be alone, to the Kitchen.
I sighed looking around at the unknown faces. I didn't really hang out with people other than 5sos and Sugar's so this entire party was not in my comfort.
I mean sure at school I knew everyone and everyone knew me but did I know them? Absolutely not.
Willow was gone probably smoking on the roof with her girlfriend. Kiara probably went home to be honest, I hadn't seen her all night.
Maddie and Calum were making out,
Ashton was nowhere to be seen and Michael was in the crowd partying.
Ashton's bed was always comfy.
He had stuffed animals that he put under his bed when the guys came over but in reality, he slept with them every night.
It always smelt nice in there, you wouldn't expect a teenage boy to have lived there. Clean laundry, lavender, citrus. It probably smelled better than my room.
So with that thought I ascended the stairs up to Ashton's room. I'd play on my phone, play his guitar, do something. Anything was better than standing alone at a party or following the only person you knew around like a sick puppy.
I twisted the knob of Ashton's room and opened the door.
I immediately groaned seeing Luke hemmings on top of some girl now both staring at me.
"Put a fucking sock on the door hemmings." I groaned throwing my head back annoyed.
"Get the hell out Geo." He said glaring at me before throwing the pillow behind the girl's head at me.
"Hemmings? I thought your name was Luke?" The girl under him asked.
I stifled a laugh but failed miserably.
Luke shot me a glare before turning back to the girl, "Hemmings is my last name."
"I thought it was Robert?" She asked.
Luke sighed closing his eyes and sliding off the girl, "That's my middle name." He mumbled, "Just go."
The girl pulled back on her jacket, still looking confused as she walked past me out the door. I sent her a cheeky smile as she did before turning back to Luke. "Got you a real keeper there," I said sarcastically motioning out the door with my head.
"At least I can get some if I want to." He grumbled sitting back down on the bed.
I rolled my eyes at him, "are you going to leave now? Kinda want Ashton's room."
"Absolutely." Luke said, "not."
"I was here first so I will stay." He kicked back his Legs on Ashton's bed nuzzling himself into the bed.
"Yeah, but Ashton said I could have his room. And I'd hate to call Ashton to kick you out." I said shaking my head.
Luke thought for a minute before shaking his head and getting underneath the covers. "I'm not scared of Ashton. And I'm also not scared of my ex-girlfriend of four days."
"Four weeks." I corrected him.
"Four years!" Ashton yelled walking into the room. "You guys dated for four. Years. Years!" He said franticly.
"he is drunk," Luke said groaning earning a confused glance from sober Ashton.
I looked at Luke with the same expression he was giving me before shaking my head, "I think I know how long we Dated."
"4 months at most," Luke said nodding in agreement.
Ashton let out an audible sigh, "At least you guys arent yelling at each other."
"Oh yeah. Back to that. Get out." Luke said pointing towards the door.
I shook my head, "fuck no. You leave." I said grabbing his shoes from the ground and throwing them out the door.
"Stop that." He said as I threw the other one out as well. I grabbed his phone out of his hands too throwing it out the door as well.
"Hey!" Luke yelled standing up to go retrieve his phone. I smiled as I shrugged off my jacket and jumped on the bed, digging myself under the covers.
"Bitch!" Luke yelled as Ashton started to close the door. I didn't know if he was talking to me or Ashton but we both flicked him off before shutting the door completely.
"Kiara told me you guys would be civil," Ashton said looking at me unamused.
I scrunched my eyebrows at him slightly, "that was me being civil. If I wasn't I would have thrown it out the window."
