"Wake up Fae. It's 10am. We have guests coming in an hour and a half". Serena was shaking my shoulder and talking. I groaned and opened my eyes. I stretched then reluctantly got out of bed. I think it's very clear that I hate getting up in the morning. I stumbled down the stairs to the kitchen after putting my glasses, dressing gown and slippers on. The only thing that was on my mind was god. I opened the cupboard and grabbed a bowl and Coco Pops. I then decided to stand by the window and watch the sunny outside world of Western Sydney. It made me wake up a bit more. Nature is one of my favourite things to be in so living in the city can suck sometimes. I decided to make a cup of coffee to try and wake myself up a bit more. I went to the kettle and filled it with water. I turned it on and grabbed my special mug that says 'They say that love is forever, your forever is all that I need'. Once the kettle was boiled, I made the coffee and drank it whilst checking Instagram and talking to Serena. She, like me, was also still in her pyjamas. Beauty and the Beast pyjamas to be precise. "You excited Fae?". She asked.

"I am so nervous. You know that I'm nervous when meeting new people. Especially the four hottest men on Earth". Serena laughed when I said that. I cleaned up after myself and took a shower. After showering, I decided that I would wear a black, pleated short shirt, black tights, a plain black tank top and converse. I put on concealer, eyeliner (a wing), mascara and lip-gloss. I checked the time. 11am. I curled my hair and checked my editing. We did a cover of In The End by Black Veil Brides. It was the first time I had played electric guitar. I then decided I would perform a cover on my own to upload later. "Serena! I'm going to do a cover on my own. Won't be long!" I shouted down the stairs.

"Remember Fae! The boys are coming round in about 10 minutes!" She shouted.

"Okay! I should be done by then!" I shouted back. I grabbed my guitar and sorted the camera out. I put the camera next to Kevin. I opened my curtains so I could see the road. I then played the first chords.

Yesterday

All my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly

I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hangin' over me

Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

I was singing the last chorus when a black van pulled up.

Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say

The van doors opened.

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

I was starting to get nervous. My eyes were fixated on the van

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play

It was them. 5 Seconds of Summer. Luke had just gotten out of the van and I swear he was looking at my window. I couldn't tell as he had sunglasses. I knew that it was him. There was no mistaking it. The Blink 182 shirt, the red and black checked shirt, black jeans, converse and the quiff.

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

I finished the song as there was a knock on the door. I ended the recording.

"Fae! They're here!" Serena shouted from the living room. I heard her open the front door and start conversing. I was starting to panic slightly. I heard Serena say. "She'll be down in a minute. She's really nervous when it comes to meeting new people". I smiled as she knew what was up. Come on Fae. You've got this. You've worked so hard for this moment. It's been four years in the making. You've been making YouTube videos for just under a year. Now that 5 Seconds of Summer have released their first album and want you and Serena to join them on tour. It's time to change your life. I said to myself. I grabbed my phone, connected it to the speakers in the kitchen. I could hear Serena laughing. I put on California Dreamin' and danced from my room to the kitchen where everyone was. Serena laughed as I danced and sung around the room. "This is Fae!". She introduced me but I was too busy focusing on the music. The song ended and the boys, who were standing, had sat down at the kitchen table and were clapping. I smiled, did a curtsy and left the room. "Fae! Get back here!" Serena called after me.

"Fine. Only if we can sit outside. It's nice and warm and you know I prefer nature". I called back.

"Fine! I'll grab the speaker from my room and the suncream. Can't be getting burned! Get back here and entertain the guests!". She called. I walked back into the kitchen and as soon as she had left the room, I jumped onto the kitchen counter.

"Don't tell Serena that I'm sitting on the counter. She gets so vexed and she'll probably kill me". I said to the boys. Calum laughed. He was wearing a grey Green Day vest, some shorts and trainers.

"We won't we promise. What an entrance! Is it always this insane in this house?" He asked. "Oh! I'm Calum by the way". He got up to shake my hand.

"Fae and yes. Yes it is". I blew off his hand shake and gave him a hug instead. He reciprocated the hug. We broke off. "It's usually Serena who's the hyper one but I wasn't going to let her carry me down the stairs. I wanted to come down on my own terms and if singing and dancing is the way to go then so be it!". I laughed and sat back on the counter.

"Well that's good. Whatever makes you more comfortable! Trust me, one of us was really excited to meet you guys and it wasn't me who was the hyper one this morning!" Ashton laughed and poked Luke. He was looking down on his phone when he looked up at me. I avoided his gaze. "I'm Ashton by the way. Call me Ash if you'd like". He got up to give me a hug. He was wearing black shorts, converse and a Metallica vest. He had his signature red bandana on which made me fangirl a little.

"Holy shit. You got her to hug you guys? That's the quickest I've ever seen her hug someone. She only does it when she trusts people". Serena said as she walked into the room. Ash, at this point was giving me a bear hug.

"Yeah. Ash. Le-t go. Cr-Crushing me". I forced out. He instantly let go of his hug and I could breathe again.

"I am so sorry! Are you okay?". He was deeply apologetic. I laughed and told him that I was fine. Michael got up next. He was wearing a Good Charlotte t-shirt, black jeans and Vans. He had his millions of bracelets on which, again, made me fangirl a little.

"Seeing as we are on introductions. I'm Michael. Call me Mikey and holy shit your hair looks sick". He said as he walked over to give me a hug, lifting me up in the process.

"Yours is purple. Been there. Done that". I laughed. He put me down.

"Oh best hair contest. I see. It's on little one". He laughed and winked at me which caused me to laugh harder.

"Little one ay? I'm like two years younger than you. Is it because I'm the shortest person here?" I started to banter with Mikey to which we all laughed. Finally, Luke got up and walked over to me. I looked up at him.

"I'm Luke. Luke Hemmings". He said quietly. I gulped.

"Fae. Fae Oakes". I didn't know whether to shake hands or hug him. I could feel him looking at me and it made me feel really shy. "I'm going to go upstairs for a minute. Meet you all outside". I ran away before anyone could say anything and changed into my 50s style swimsuit. I popped a long, black, flowy skirt on and my tank top back on and popped my converse back on. I went to the laundry room and grabbed a few towels. I then went outside. Serena and the boys were on the deck near the pool. Music was playing and overall, it was a great atmosphere. Serena noticed that I was going to go to the pool, which was very large, and laughed.

"Lucky I've warmed the pool Fae. I may join you". Serena said.

"Please do! It'll be fun!" I said to Serena whilst tying my hair into two plaits. Serena turned to the boys.

"Do you guys have your stuff?" She asked. They nodded. I was confused. "I'll bring some towels down. Thank you Fae for collecting towels". She said and laughed. The boys went inside and I took my tank top, converse and skirt off to reveal my swimsuit. I then sat on one of the six cream chaise lounges and placed my towel on the ground. I lay down to do a little bit of sunbathing when suddenly I felt water on my legs. I opened my eyes, sat up and saw Serena laughing at Luke who had jumped into our pool. He came back up to the surface, smiled and winked at me. I got into the pool and sat with Serena who was in the shallow end.

After getting the pool toys that we had out and messing around for an hour. I asked the dreaded question. "So when do we leave for tour?" I asked. "I don't really go on social media often so I'm a bit lost". Everyone looked at each other. "What?" I said.

"Heh.. Umm Tomorrow". Ash laughed sheepishly.

"I knew that we'd forget something!" Calum chimed in.

"OH SHIT! I NEED TO GET PACKING! SERENA!! GET YOUR STUFF TOGETHER! WHAT TIME ARE WE LEAVING?!" I shouted and panicked. I hadn't left the pool but I was about to.

"Relax. It's 1pm now. We are leaving at 3am. You've got plenty of time". Luke came over and squeezed my arm slightly which made me instantly calm down. Serena noticed and grinned.

"Fair play Luke. You found one of the many ways to calm her down". She said and swam over to me. Luke realised what he had done and swam over to Calum to mess with the pool toys. Pretty soon, I got out and started to decide what I wanted to take with me. I was allowed two big suitcases, a trunk that the boys had provided and my small carry on suitcase. The trunk had my performance stuff in it. It had a compartment for my guitars and my keyboard and their bits and bobs which were going to be stored on the crew bus. I also had my suitcase with clothes that will be used for everyday where and the other was for performance stuff. Also, my performance suitcase had my makeup case in. Not enough for eight months but I can pick up bits and bobs. I also had Serena's makeup in there as she prefers it when I do her makeup. In my carry on suitcase, I had my legal documents, my contract I had signed when the 5SOS legal team popped over (Yes I had read the contract thoroughly), my laptop bag with laptop and charger, headphones and other miscellaneous stuff that I knew that I would need. It took four hours to decide what I wanted to take so I ordered a Dominos pizza for everyone. We all decided to stay in our swim stuff.

As we all ate our pizza, I came up with a really good idea. "Hey guys". Serena and the boys stopped wolfing down their food and looked up at me. "Our fans have no idea that this is happening. Like. We all know each other and we are going on tour. I have an idea. We make a video. Double the uploads, double the views seeing as I'm uploading the In The End cover we did". I said. Serena laughed and they all agreed with me. I told them my video plan which made them agree harder. I grabbed my camera and began to vlog in the garden. I smiled and walked around the garden. "Hey everyone. It's Fae here and as you know, Serena and I are in the land down under". My smile slowly faded as I approached the table. "But we have some bad news". I showed them the half eaten pizza. "Yes I ate all of this because I'm so sad". I turned the camera back towards me and placed it on the table so it was facing the chair that had the glass kitchen door behind it. It also had the large living room window where you could see Luke walking to the door. I sat down. "Amicorum have broken up". I fake cried sobbed. Luke came out and hugged me.

"It's okay Fae. You have me". He said as he knelt down to put his head on my shoulder and pretend to comfort me. Calum ran over from the other end of the garden and sat in front of me.

"And me Fae". He said as Ash sat next to me.

"And me my favourite dudette". He put his arm around me. Michael came out of the house. He kissed my head.

"And me blue haired lady". He tried not to laugh. Serena came out and looked at us.

"What the hell is going on? We've got stuff to do!" She laughed. We all started laughing and I stopped recording with the camera remote. I got up and started dancing around.

"AND THAT IS A WRAP! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR AMAZING ACTING!" I shouted and laughed. "Are you guys staying over?" I asked the boys.

"If that's okay". Michael laughed. I nodded. "Can we take a picture? For memories and for social media?" He asked. The sun had just started to set.

"YES THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA! ONE NICE ONE AND ONE FUNNY ONE!" Serena shouted. I set up the camera so it was facing the bottom of the garden. We had such a gorgeous view of the rest of Sydney in the background. I got everyone into position. Mikey by Serena who was next to Ash. Calum was sitting on the ground and I was in between Luke and Ash. I made sure everyone was in focus and got into position. We all held hands, except for Calum.

"3...2....1..Smile!" I said as I clicked the remote which set the camera off. We then moved into a funny pose. Serena got on the floor and did a 'sexy' pose, Ash grabbed a chair and sat down and looked like a grumpy old man. Luke jumped on Michael's back and Calum picked me up bridal style.

"You don't mind do you?" He asked.

"It's fine".

"Can we take the picture? Luke is heavy!" Michael shouted. I laughed and took the picture. I then went up to the camera and checked. I burst out laughing with the funny one. Serena had her eyes closed, Mikey was clearly in pain, Ash was laughing at them, Calum was laughing and I looked so tired. I showed the picture to them and they laughed. We all then had a very mellow night. Calum and Luke had one guest room whilst Ash and Michael had the other. I said goodnight to them all and retired to my bedroom after brushing my teeth and showering. I got into a spotty pair of shorts and an oversized t-shirt. I uploaded the cover, edited my video, edited the pictures and went to bed at around 10pm which was super early for me but I knew that I would sleep on the bus.

-NEXT MORNING!-

"Fae. Get up sweetie. It's 2am and we've got to go soon". I felt a hand rubbing my arm. This wakeup call was too nice to be Serena. I realised that it was Ash.

"Ash?" I said grumbling.

"Mm hmm?" He responded.

"Can you turn on my big light and is everyone else awake?". I asked whilst stretching in bed. He turned my light on, the light making me close my eyes. He sat on my bed.

"Yeah. Serena was awake when I woke up and said that you should be the last to be woken up". He said and pulled me in for a hug. I opened my eyes to look at him. He was wearing an All Time Low shirt, jeans and his glasses. I hugged him back. "Now get up sleepyhead. We've got a long day ahead of us". He said and walked out of my room, closing my door gently. I grabbed my glasses and decided to wear some black sweatpants and an oversized Metallica shirt. I brushed my hair and put it up in a loose bun. I grabbed my phone and went downstairs to see Calum, Mikey and Luke sitting on the sofas in the living room.

"Morning guys". I mumbled and a resounding 'Morning' followed. Serena was in the kitchen with Ash so I went in. "Morning". I said.

"Morning Fae. How are you?" Serena asked and gave me a hug. She was wearing leggings and an oversized Walt Disney jumper. She had her hair tied back into a ponytail and a little bit of mascara on.

"I'm alright. What's for breakfast?". I asked whilst looking for food.

"There's a tiny bit of cereal in the cupboard but we're going to have a proper breakfast on the bus if that's cool. Going to drop into Asda for a bus food shop on the way to Adelaide" Ashton said. "The boys are not happy to be up at this time". He laughed.

"I'll come in with you guys. I've had four hours of sleep. Will we be able to sleep on the bus?" I asked and grumbled a little. Ash nodded.

"Yeah. Show starts at 8pm and we get there at 5. This is our first major tour so we're not used to it". He said, yawning. Luke came into the room.

"Hey guys. Bus is on the way. I'll come with you into Asda too. I need some toothpaste because Michael has just said he stole mine". He said and sat on the kitchen chair. He turned to me. "Did you upload that video of us all?" He asked. I thought for a second and nodded as I remembered that I had. I checked the comments and laughed. Calum and Michael came in and hovered over my shoulder, laughing.

"Well the fans are so happy. They're already shipping us all". Michael said and laughed.

"OH MY GOD! WHO ARE THEY SHIPPING?!" Serena squealed. She loves a good ship.

"Cake. Mashton. Mallum. Muke. Ferena and.. oh my god". Calum said as he took my phone. "Hashtag Fake". He said laughing. I felt a bit uncomfortable so I went to get my things downstairs. I had noticed that everyone had put their stuff by the front door so I thought I'd better do that too. The bus came at 3am exactly. I helped Calum and the bus driver load the stuff into the storage part of the bus. Serena was so excited but I was feeling less excited. I didn't know when I'd be coming back to this home. We were going to get planning permission to build an extension but I wasn't sure if that was going to happen. I noticed that the Taylors had their lights on so I went over quickly and knocked on the door. Mrs Taylor opened it after a minute.

"Hello Fae. Can I ask that you stop the noise outside?" She said. I smiled.

"Yes Mrs Taylor. I believe grandma gave you a set of keys to the house. Can you look after it please? Serena and I are going on a really long holiday and we trust you". I asked and smiled. She beamed.

"So it finally happened! Congratulations and of course! We'll text you once a week". She hugged me and we said our goodbyes. I walked back to the house. Said goodbye and locked the door. I felt teary eyed as I said goodbye to my car and got on the bus. It was amazing. Bunks were already picked. I climbed into the top left bunk near the back room that had my name on it. The bunk was comfy. It had some colour changing lights and I was really lucky as mine had a window. In my bunk there was a little tv that I could move from the wall in front of me so I can watch it. I looked at who my neighbour would be. Ash. I laughed as I jumped down and put my carry on bag on my bunk. I opened my carry on bag and put my skull covers on the provided duvet, a black cover on my mattress and a Nightmare Before Christmas pillowcase on my pillow. I also put my favourite squirrel stuffed animal on my bed. His name was Sid and I got him when I was at least 16 as a present. My bed was perfect. I went to explore the bus. There was a fridge, freezer, a lovely amount of cupboards and a two sofas with a table that you could store away at the front of the bus. At the back was a large lounge with a mini fridge and mini freezer. There was a projector that seemed to be hooked up to an Xbox and PS4. Serena and Luke had connected all of our laptops via WiFi so we could watch tv/YouTube on the wall/door. We were travelling to Adelaide that day which was fourteen hours away so I decided to jump into my bunk, grab my laptop and tweet seeing as the bus had internet. So I decided to upload the Yesterday cover. I then felt so tired, I closed my curtain and fell asleep for a while.

A little while later, I felt someone tap me. It was Luke. "What time is it?" I asked him.

"Eight. We've arrived at Asda if you want to come in. Serena is asleep". I nodded and jumped out of my bunk. I grabbed my wallet and shoes and went with Luke, Ash and Calum. We walked in and grabbed very mundane things. A new toothbrush and some stuff for the ride. We also grabbed some alcohol as we were all 18 and over and it would be nice to have a celebratory drink after the show. I walked over to Luke who was looking at the bakery section and tapped him. He looked at me. No expression. I stood there awkwardly.

"Umm. You're by the brioche. I know for a fact that Serena will want that when she wakes up". I said quietly and looked down.

"Oh sorry. Want me to get them for you? They are at the top shelf?" He asked with a bit of kindness. I was shocked.

"Sure. Cheers". I said a bit louder. My confidence came back and I blurted out. "Luke. Why do you hate me?" As soon as I said that, I clasped my hand to my mouth and felt so embarrassed. "I am so sorry! Sometimes I don't think when I speak!". I said and tripped over my laces which were undone, dropping everything I had in my hands. I got back up, noticed that Ash and Calum were watching and said. "You know what? Fuck this. I'm going to pay for the shit I've got and get back on the bus". I scrambled everything up, tied my lace and went to the self-service checkout, holding back tears. As soon as I got back to the bus, I put my stuff on my bunk, jumped up and closed the curtains to cry. The bus driver looked at me with concern so I just did a fake smile. I just asked someone I'd be stuck with for eight months why they hated me after they had known me for less than twenty four hours, tripped over and just made a complete fool of myself. I heard Serena get up about ten minutes after I came back and Michael twenty minutes after that so I toned down the crying. Then I heard the boys get back on the bus.

"Has anyone seen Fae?" Luke asked, concerned.

"Wasn't she with you?" Michael said, also concerned.

"Guys. Pop your stuff down and go to the back. I know where she is". Serena said calmly. The boys trudged past and Serena tapped my curtain.

"Go away!" I said, crying into my pillow. She opened my curtain and I saw her calm face. She smiled a sympathetic smile.

"Come sit on the sofa out here. Bring Sid with you. Let's calm you down and we'll have a talk". She said. I climbed out of my bunk and followed Serena with Sid. She hugged me as I let it all out. She then told me to ground myself which I did. "Two things you hear". She said.

"The bus running and the boys talking in the back". I snuffled.

"Two things you can see". She said, calmly.

"Ashton coming over to see us and you Serena". I said a bit calmer as Ash came over to see us.

"In your bunk were you?" He said and smiled at me. It calmed me down instantly. "Luke forgot that you are autistic. He was really worried that you'd run off as Serena has said that you did that a lot in school". Ash sat on the other sofa. Luke came over.

"Fae! Are you alright?!" He said as he sat the other side of me.

"I'm not good with social situations so tripping over in front of you was the catalyst". I said and snuggled Sid. He put his arm around me.

"Can we go and sit in the back and have a small chat? Nothing to be scared of". He whispered into my ear. I nodded. I went up to his ear.

"Fine. Let me put some makeup on and I'll meet you in the back". I whispered. He nodded and went in the back. Michael and Calum were sitting with Ash. "Luke and I are going to have a quick chat in the back. So yeah. In a bit". I went to my bunk, grabbed my everyday makeup bag and went into the back and put a little bit on. Luke joined me whilst I was putting my eyeliner on. He sat on the other side of the sofa. "Luke Hemmings. What do you want?". I asked whilst struggling to put eyeliner on as the bus was moving.

"Look. I don't hate you Fae. I just haven't worked you out yet". He said in a tone of defeat. I stopped and looked at him.

"What do you mean? I'm an 18 year old child. I can't deal with social situations yet here I am. Living on a bus with four famous guys that I met yesterday. I'm going to be singing in a multitude of concerts that are sold out! There's not much to work out. I wear my heart on my sleeve". I said, putting on my glasses to look at him.

"You aren't a child. Stop thinking that we are famous. We are-". Luke said but I cut him off.

"You are. Serena used to watch your YouTube. She would obsess over how handsome Ash is. She used to keep trying to tell me to listen to your EP. I refused because I thought you lot were a bunch of sissies". I laughed. Luke found that funny and started laughing.

"You don't think that now do you?" He smiled and asked. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Weell". I laughed and lightly tapped Luke in the shoulder. We laughed together. "So is it true?" I asked.

"Is what true Fae?" He smiled at me as I was struggling to put mascara on.

"Is it true that you were excited to meet us?" I laughed as I put my glasses back on and put some lip balm on. He smiled.

"Potentially". He laughed. As he said that, Michael burst in and sat next to Luke.

"Oh my god Michael! I'm so excited to meet Serena and Fae! I wonder if Fae is as pretty in real life". Michael mocked Luke in a joking way. I heard Serena, Ash and Calum laugh and walk towards us. We all chilled, slept and ate food until we got to the venue at 5pm exactly. Serena and I also worked out what we were going to do for our first set. What would happen at our first set?
