Liv has started a group chat with Cole, Dana, Will, David, Dalton and Gabe

Liv: Hey!

Dana: What are you doing? We haven't had one of these in years!

Will: Hey Livii!

David: Liv?

Gabe: Hi?

Liv: I miss doing these. And we haven't had one in like ten years!

Cole: Babe is anyone even going to read this?

Liv: IDK.

Dalton: How did this even happen?

Liv: Simple, I found all your numbers, since most of you still talk to Will.

Will: 😊

Liv: Anyway, how about we go around and talk about what we've been up to for the past like six years. That's the last time we had one of these group chats.

Dana: It's been that long?!

Liv: Yeah, and a lot has happened. Here I'll go first. Cole and I moved down to Nashville, then I met up with a new boyband called "Nightbreakers." I am helping them with their songs. I have given up with childcare, with the way the world has been changing. Oh, I got my drivers licenses!

Dalton: Really?!

David: That's great!

Dana: Who won the bet? Liv or Will?

Will: Liv did. I got mine about a year ago. After I married Sam.

Liv: Thank you.

Cole: She still talks when she drives, and I think I have driven her car more than she has.

Liv: Who wants to go next?

Will: I'll go, so Daya and I broke up slightly after Covid, and then I met Sam through a writing session and we started dating, then I proposed to her about a year and a half ago and we got married in May. I have released a few albums, and I am still writing and working on music.

David: I got into video design, now I work on edits and help out other people with their projects. And I gave up with music years ago. It was a good run. 

Cole: Nice. 

Dalton: I joined a new band. King Honey Bee. Other than that, haven't been doing a whole lot. 

Liv: That's good to hear, Dalton. 

Dalton: Thanks Liv. 

Liv: Okay, Cole, Dana and Gabe, who's next? 

Dana: I'll go, so I moved out to Navada, but I am busy going all around the world and spreading God's word. I get a lot of fivers in my Instagram Live's and Liv, and I are working on an IMBorn tour, which many of you know about. 

Cole: Dana, when you got back into playing "Touchdown Dance," Liv couldn't stop playing that song. She is still jamming out to that song to this day. 

Liv: TOUCHDOWN DANCE WILL NEVER DIE!!!! 

Dana: I know. 

Will: I miss the band. 

Liv: Me too! And I cried when we wrote "Back in a Band." 

Cole: So many memories. 

Liv: Cole or Gabe? 

Gabe: Fine. Alex and I have a child. Her name is Violet. So, I have been watching her grow up, along with helping out some friends with their music. 

Cole: Liv and I have been doing a lot of traveling. I recently got into flying. I also am helping Liv with Nightbreakers, and Alex Coles, Alex Sampson, Knox, and a few other bands as well. 

David: Wow you are busy. 

Liv: I know. 

Will: I hate to ask the question, but how did Liv take Liam passing away? 

Liv: THAT WAS TERRIBLE! Simon called me and told me, that I had to tell the rest of the members that he passed. Then we all took time away from making music until this year. Where the rest of them are releasing new music and jumping on tour. 

Cole: It was a rough month when she got that news. Then having to go to the funeral, was rough. 

Liv: Okay, can I just say something. None of you are on Instagram anymore! 

Gabe: We have lives Liv. 

Dana: You only post once a year now. 

Liv: You are right, we are busy, and I just keep adding stories from other people I am working with. Anyone want to play a game? 

Will: Sure. 

David: I guess. 

Dalton: Okay. 

Cole: What kind of game? 

Liv: Do you know your IM5 songs? 

Gabe: No. 

Dana: I am going to win. 

Will: Maybe. 

Cole: I am assuming you are going to give us the lyrics? 

Liv: Yes. 

Gabe: How old is Liv again? 

Liv: I am twenty-eight, with Dana, everyone else is thirty. 

Will: Nuh-huh, I am twenty-nine. 

Dalton: Can you at least send us a list of all the songs that will be used? 

Liv: Sure. 

Liv: 1. Everything about U

2. Zero Gravity 

3. Go

4. Can't Stay Away

5. Me and this Girl

6. Close your eyes

7. Heartless

8. Get to Know You

9. Touchdown Dance

10. Superman 

11. Jingle Bell Pop

12: Into the Night 

13. Rest of our lives 

Liv: Do you want me to add the EP? 

Dana: No. 

Dalton: That's a lot of songs. 

Gabe: Wow. 

Cole: It's not that bad. 

Liv: Once you miss a song, you are out. 

Dana: Are you joining us Liv? 

Liv: Yes, I can add Alex Coles and have him give us lyrics? 

Gabe: Who? 

Will: Does he even know our songs? 

Liv: No, but Kyle did a song with him a few years ago, and now he has 7 million streams on that song, and almost 2 million on one of my favorite songs I wrote with him. 

Cole: Add Alex Liv. 

Liv: KK. 

Dalton: LIV ARE WE DOING THIS AGAIN? 

David: Didn't Will scream Food and Clivia during most of our chats? 

Will: I did. I miss those days. 

Cole: Makayla used to always find me with a bat. What even happened to the girls that used to comment on the book? 

Liv: I don't know, life started to happen. 

Will: Did Connie ever finish her book? 

Liv: I think so. 

Liv has added Alex to the conversation. 

Liv: Alex, thank you joining us and helping us. 

Alex: No problem, Liv. But who are these people? I know Cole is your husband and Dana is your brother, but that's about it. 

Liv: There is David, Will, Dalton, Gabe, Cole and Dana, you are going to give us a lyric from a song, and they are going to guess what the song is. 

Cole: Wouldn't you be cheating babe? 

Liv: No. 

Alex: I need an order, or whoever comments first wins. 

Liv: Here's the order, Gabe, Dalton, David, Cole, Will, Dana then me. 

Dana: Liv and I recently found out that I am actually order than her. 

Liv: By ten minutes!!!! 

Alex: Okay, Gabe, here's your lyric: "And now's the time for me to cross the line." 

Gabe: Am I first? 

Liv: You are the oldest out of IM5. 

Dana: Oh, I know it now. 

Gabe: I don't know. 

Dana: Can I steal? 

Will: Close your eyes and count to three! 

Alex: Yes. Dalton you are next. 

Dalton: Okay. 

Alex: "In the good times and bad times, we've all been there."

Dalton: What? Was I in the band when this happened? 

Liv: Yes. 

Dalton: I wish you would have told us beforehand so I could have studied. 

Liv: Rest of Our Lives. 

Dalton: Oh. I hope it was better than Touchdown Dance. 

Alex: Okay, David, "I'm as bad as you want me," 

David: What? 

Liv: Okay, I think this was a bad idea. 

Will: Heartless! I wrote that one. 

Alex: Yes, Cole, "Get low for love," 

Cole: Easy, Touchdown Dance. 

Gabe: You gave him an easy song! 

Alex: I can give him another one. 

Liv: Go ahead and give him another one. 

Alex: Okay, "You're second to none." 

Dana: OH! I just played this song on an Instagram Live! 

Liv: Shhhh. 

Cole: What? Zero Gravity. 

Dana: Go

Alex: That's right Dana. 

Gabe: Did Liv tell you about this Dana? 

Dana: No, but I have been trying to get the IMBorn tour happening. 

Alex: Will is next, so "I'm heading on track,"

Will: Can't Stay Away!

Liv: Finally. 

Alex: Dana, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but your words cut my heart," 

Dana: "I'm not as strong as you think I am, I'm no Superman," 

Alex: That's right. Am I doing another round? 

Liv: Nah, we're good, thanks Alex. 

Alex: No problem. 

Alex has left the conversation. 

Gabe: That wasn't my Alex, was it? 

Cole: Lol. No, that was Alex Coles, he's a singer from Canada. Liv found one of his videos on Instagram and got in touch with him and then it wasn't long until Liv got to writing music with him. 

Liv: Yup. Okay, so to end this, how about yinz say thank you to your readers? 

Gabe: I'll go first. *Clears throat* Bye. 

Gabe has left the conversation. 

Liv: Classic. 

Dalton: Thank you to all those that have read these group chats. We love you. 

Will: FOOD! 

David: I was wondering when that was going to happen. 

Will: Clivia! 

Cole: I thought that he forgot about that. 

Will: Never! 

Liv: Isn't he still our child? 

Cole: eh, he got married without telling us, I found out through Instagram. 

Dana: I think we all did. 

Will: Thank you for reading, and I hope we made you laugh. Once a fiver always a fiver! 

David: Thank you for all the memories and I think Liv is going to keep the book up. 

Liv: Yeah, I will keep the book up. It's a good reminder and who knows maybe I will add you boys to my new group chat with Nightbreakers. 

Dalton: What happened to that other band you had us talking to? 

Liv: IRL? They broke up slightly before Covid hit. Then if you are talking about Why Don't We, they were having management issues and broke up for good in twenty twenty-five. 

Dalton: Oh. 

Cole: Thank you for the memories, the laughs, the support, we wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for you. We are thankful for those that are keeping the IM5 name alive, and for those that keep listening to our music on YouTube, SoundCloud and for the few songs we have on Spotify. 

Dana: Thank you, and make sure you buy your ticket for the IM born again tour. I want to see as many fivers as I can. And I can see if I can get some of the other guys to show up for some of the tour dates. Love you. 

Liv: Way to go Dana. Thank you for reading. I have had fun writing these. Then time got in the way, and life started to happen. This isn't the end of IM5. IM5 lives on for so many people. I am one of them. I love you boys, and I hope we can all meet up together later in the future. Once a fiver. 

Cole: Always a fiver. 

Dana: Always a fiver. 

David: Always a fiver.

-------------------------------------

WOW! THE FEELS! 

Hi. 

So, I recently read through Connie's Group Chat book that made me want to read through mine and I noticed I never really said goodbye. 

I have started a new Group chat book but it features a band called "Nightbreakers," 

I recommend looking them up. I have their songs on repeat all the time now, and I might just have IM5 in that book from time to time. 

Thank you for all the comments and votes on this story and about 7K reads! and 1K Comments. Even if majority of them were from Connie. 

Anyway, 

Once a fiver, always a fiver. 

Liv
