Unknown's PoV

Scrolling through my phone aimlessly, in the hope of wasting some time while I waited for the timer on the oven, I suddenly came across a tweet that caught my eye.

@/ 5sosupdates some fans meeting 5sos and girlfriends at a Spanish airport. Thank you @/hoodwinked for the photos

Is that...?

I opened the photos and scrolled through them. Some fan standing with the band, cheesy grin on her face as she got a photo with each member. And then him. It was him. Calum.

It's been a long time since we'd been together but he was always the one that got away. I should have tried harder to stay with him, accepting the fame and fans and paparazzi that became his life, but instead I left. And I left him heartbroken.
For a while I followed the bands movements, reading articles and watching interviews, knowing where they'd been and where they were going, just so I could see Calum. I watched as he spoke in interviews about love being a sham, how he never believed in it and wasn't going to chase it. He said that after we'd broken up. I'd made him like that.
It was too sad to watch, so I stopped. I unfollowed all social media accounts linked with them and wiped them from my life - or so I'd thought. A radio station had retweeted that.

Suddenly the urge was back. The urge to look him up and find out what I'd missed in the last few years. Before I knew what I was doing, I was searching his name. Hundreds of thousands of tweets poured onto my screen about him, the band, the new album they'd released, the tour they were doing and finally, his engagement?!? He's engaged?

I bit my lips together as I tried to pull myself together, getting a grip on reality again as I prepared myself to see her. The lucky woman who had replaced me.

Her name went into my search bar and there she was. Photos of her pretty little face scattered my screen. She was beautiful, and the opposite to me. She had light skin in comparison to my dark skin, shoulder length brown hair as opposed to my short black hair, big blue eyes in comparison to my brown ones. He'd completely changed his type to be the opposite to me. I gripped my phone angrily, my fingers and knuckles turning white as I desperately tried not to hurl my phone across the room. I searched more about her; a nurse, who was now employed by the band, a bad past of drugs and prostitution, photos of unfortunate run-ins with her history. She didn't seem that great. Not as good as I would have been.

@/ updatehoods rumour has it that Calum and Poppy are looking at wedding venues whilst they're touring IM CRYING THEYRE SO CUTE

Argh!

This time my phone left my hand and twisted through the air, landing heavily on the floor on the opposite side of my bedroom. They're NOT cute. We were cute. It was us against the world, even if the others in the band weren't so keen on me. They seem happy with this new girl. Everything seems so perfect for them - but not for long...

An evil smirk grew on my face.

Oh how terrible it would be if Calum 'accidentally' bumped into me on their tour and realised he'd never gotten over me. His eyes would twinkle at me like they used to and this new girl would be a distant memory as he focussed back on me, realising he missed me all that time. She'd try to fight for him, of course, but I know him so well, too well, she'd never stand a chance.

With a spring back in my step, I leapt off the bed to get my phone, quickly typing in their tour schedule to see where they'd be next. Spain now, Italy next.

Ah the irony. Italy, the country of romance, where Calum's romance with this new girl will get quashed and he'll come back to me.
A laugh escaped my lips.

Time to get packing.

I called my workplace, faking sick as I said I'd be off for the week. They'd never know any different, nor actually care if they did see me jetting off to Italy. The management in that place couldn't care about anything. I then faked sick to the doctors to get a sick note, signing me off for two weeks just in case. Life was so easy now everything was my phone call. My acting skills were pretty good but when I've just got to put on a voice, it's so much easier.

My heart was swelling as I packed, making sure everything I packed was weather appropriate but also incredibly sexy. Yes I was a confident woman and noone was going to stop me showing it off, especially when Calum was going to see me again. My mind raced with everything we had done in the past and my heart sped up. This was it.

We were going to be back together.
