If I could change the world overnight

There'd be no such thing as goodbye

You'd be standing right where you were

And we'd get the chance we deserve

"Why are you in a onesie?" Ashton asked as we sat in the van.

"Because I can," I answered with a smile.

"I should just stop asking you why you do things"

"I like my onesie and I get cold easily," I told him.

He just shook his head with a laugh and I felt Luke intertwine his fingers with mine. I rested my head on his shoulder and opened up my phone.

Boredom sucks. Why'd you leave?

I had to.

You could have stayed with me.

I'm with the boys for the tour then I'm going home. I'll be in a different time zone.

NOOOOOOOO

Calm down it's not the end of the world.

It will be when even the boys are in a different time zone.

You're such a downer.

I'm pessimistic.

Exactly. You think of the negatives.

Like you can talk and I get it from my mother.

Tell her to stop being so pessimistic.

She lives in Manchester.

You can still text her.

We're not speaking.

Why not?

She didn't want me to move out but I did so now she isn't speaking to me.

My parents can't wait until I move out.

Yeah but that's your parents. Gtg, meeting a friend.

You suck. By Em.

Bye

"Emilia?" Luke asked.

"Yeah. Hey Ash?"

"Yes?"

"Do you like Emilia?"

"In what way?"

"Like, do you think she's cool?"

"Yeah"

"Do you think you'd ever date her?"

"I guess. Wait. How old is she?"

"She's like five months older than Mike"

"Like I said, I guess. Why though?"

"No reason"

"With you there's always a reason"

"No there isn't" I smirked. "I wish I had a debit card," I said to Luke.

"Why?"

"I need new band shirts and I used my mum's card to get my last ones. Or I need to go to America so I can go to Hot Topic. That's an amazing shop"

"Whoa, calm down"

"I'm never calm"

"I can tell"

"And you're stuck next to me. Sucked in"

"I could drown you out with music"

"I'd just start poking you" I smirked.

"Oh god"

"Don't let me watch Victorious"

"Why not?"

"I'll start talking like Cat" he face palmed making me laugh. "She's funny. Especially in the bibble episode"

"What's bibble?" Calum asked.

"Colored popcorn"

"Oh god. Let me guess, you like bibble?"

"Yuck, no. Horrible stuff" I said screwing up my face.

"Thank the lord"

I plugged my ear buds in as I laughed and pressed shuffle. The first song was Almost Is Never Enough by Ariana Grande so I started humming along.

"Almost, almost is never enough

So close to being in love

If I would have known that you wanted me

The way I wanted you

Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart

But right here in each other's arms," I sang and when I realized the boys were looking at me I blushed and looked down.

"I love it when you sing," Luke whispered.

"Thanks," I smiled and pecked his cheek.
