Ashlee's POV:
I woke up the next morning,my body beginning to fill with joy and excitement.
I noticed I was still laying on top of Bradley, his arms wrapped around my chest. I turn myself over to face him, my arms wrapping around his neck. I press my lips against his,waking him up with a good morning kiss.
I felt him smile as I kissed him, also him placing his hands on the back of my thighs,rubbing it.
I pull away, but still being close to him. My heart began to pound just as I was watching him open his eyes. I gave him another kiss, wrapping my arms around his torso. I lean my head on his chest, holding him tighter than ever.
"I love you so much,Bradley." I whispered, looking up at him. He smiles again, his hands holding my face.
"I love you too,Ashlee." He leans in, kissing me this time.
I laid in his arms for a minute, enjoying the warmth of his bare body.
"We should do something," I suggested,"you know, to make the time go faster."
"Oh, I know. Lets get dressed." Bradley got a hold of my waist, pulling me up with him to stand up. I look around for the 5SOS shirt Bradley got me, which I find in literally two seconds. I slipped it on over my slightly ripped skinny jeans, then putting on my light pink converse on. I noticed Bradley had the same 5SOS shirt as me, which I adored.
"Well, you look cute in that." Bradley complimented.
"Same for you."
"Only about 8 hours,babe." Bradley reminded.
"I know, I'm so happy!" I exclaimed, acting like a total idiot now.
"I love it when you fangirl." He teases. A smirk appears on Bradley's face, as he watches me fangirl.
"Same goes to you, number one Tom Brady fan." I teased back, walking away from Bradley.
"Hey, come back you." Bradley got a hold of my waist, twirling me around until he pushes me up gently against the wall.
"Do you take back what you said,sweetheart?" Bradley whispers, looking into my eyes.
"No." I simply answered. Bradley smiles, then smashing his lips against mine. We kissed each other for a while, then going to iHop for breakfast. Oh, how I loved eating at iHop.
We toured all of Sacramento til it was time to go to the concert. On the way there, I couldn't help but get more and more excited by the minute!
"Only ten more minutes til I see Luke,Calum,Ashton,and Michael!" I exclaimed,making Bradley laugh.
"You sure are excited for this,aren't you?" He chuckled.
"Yes! Like over the top excited." I corrected. By the time we got there, there were millions of cars parked outside the arena where 5SOS was performing.
"Great." Bradley muttered, thinking the same thing as me. It would take forever for us to find a place to park! Unexpectedly, it took us only a few minutes. Bradley opened the car door for me, and quickly got a hold of my hand. We handed out concert tickets to the ticket man, and entered the arena. There was tons of screaming fans, waiting for our loving inspirations to appear on stage at any moment now.
Bradley and I got to the front row as quick as we could, so that way we wouldn't miss any moment that was about to happen. Then that's when the excitement started. As soon as I seen my favorite, blonde-headed band member, Luke Hemmings, I couldn't help but burst out a scream. Bradley tried to scream too, but since he was a guy, it wasn't as loud as the girl's screams. Luke was now standing in front of me, introducing himself to the crowd. Ashton,Calum,and Michael appeared too, doing the exact same thing as Luke. What caught my attention, was the fact that Luke was staring right at me. He smirks, beginning to think something. They started off with,"End Up Here" which was one of my favorite songs by them. It was so amazing how everyone repeated and sang along to the lyrics of every single song. Bradley somehow knew the lyrics too. Then that's when one of my favorites came...

Wherever you are.

As soon as they started the song, they paused at first. Everyone looked up at them, confused looks on their faces. But we all knew. It was 5SOS, our random, weird, but lovable favorite band. We knew they had something planned.
"We are going to try something with you guys." Luke admitted,looking over at me. He smiled again, the way his lip ring was sticking out.
"We are going to pull up a fan and have them play guitar on stage." Calum continued.
"How about that lovely lady over there, with the brunette hair?" Luke insisted. Everyone looked at me, which made me feel so awkward.
"Lucky girl." Someone muttered. I looked over at Bradley, who just nodded for me to go up there. I come up there, standing in front of Luke.
"What's your name?" Michael asked.
"Ashlee." I introduced nervously. I felt myself shaking on stage. I looked up at Luke, thinking this is what it was like to stand right in front of a 6 foot tall dude that wasn't my Dad.
"Do you know how to play guitar?" Calum asked.
I noticed Luke was smiling at me again.
"A little bit." I answered. Luke handed me the guitar, and I started playing the first verse of Heartbreak Girl. I looked over at Bradley, who was smiling at me. Right when I gotten into the middle verse of Heartbreak Girl, everyone began to clap and cheer. I smile too. So this was what it was like being on a stage, playing in front of a million fans. This was a dream come true. Ashton played the drums, but for a short while though when I stopped playing.
"Woah, give it up for Ashlee everyone!" Luke shouted into the microphone, making the crowd roar. Before I could go back to Bradley, Luke gets a hold of my arm.
"You got backstage passes?" He asked me, beginning to smirk.
"Yes." I answered.
"Good." I heard him mumble. Alarmed by his sudden movement, I went back to Bradley who was happy.
"Congrats,Ashlee! I'm so proud of you! You performed in front of a million fans!" Bradley praised.
"I did, didn't I?" I was honestly proud of myself too. I started to get anxious when we went backstage, especially after what Luke said to me. I spotted them taking pictures with fans, and signing autographs.
"What are you waiting for? Go up to them, babe." Bradley whispers, giving me a peck on my cheek.
Waiting for a small crowd of fans to leave, I got the courage to go up to 5SOS. When I made an appearance, I notice Luke was looking down at me. Beginning to blush, I say hi very nervously.
"She's a huge fan of you." Bradley pointed out to them.
"Hi there. Your performance was phenomenal. Were you always this good at guitar?" Calum complimented.
"Um.. Yeah. I guess I am." I admitted. I showed them my cover of She Looks So Perfect, which impressed them.
"Hey... we all saw that. How would you like it if you signed onto Hi or Hey Records?" Ashton suggested. I almost choked when they said that.
"Are you serious?" I asked, looking at Bradley.
"Yeah. In fact, we'd like to have you on tour with us. Everyone loved your performance." Michael concluded.
Me? On tour with 5SOS? This couldn't be true. I swear this was a dream.
I looked over at Bradley, who was happy for me, yet had a sad look on his face.
"Um, can you excuse me for a minute?" I excused.
"Of course."
I pulled Bradley aside so I could talked to him in private.
"Maybe you could go on tour with us. You know.. so that way we could still spend time together." I insisted.
"Ashlee, I would, but what if I have plans for one of the tour dates?" Bradley asked.
"You didn't have any plans when you came to stay with me when rehearsing Anna Dressed In Blood." I reminded him.
"True." Bradley agreed.
"Plus, they only have about two more months left of this tour. I think we will be good." I said.
"Alright. I'll come with you for tour." Bradley decided.
"Thank you." I give him a kiss, and we go back to 5SOS.
"Alright. We'll tour with you." I insisted.
"Awesome!"
I ended up getting signed to their record label after that. It was fine with my parents along with Bradley's for us to be touring with 5SOS. Before starting the tour, Bradley and I had to drive back to Thousand Oaks followed by 5SOS's tour bus in order to drop the car off. Not to mention we had to pack extra clothes. We said our goodbyes to our parents and close friends, then get on the tour bus.
"Since you guys are a couple obviously, you can sleep together in the back." Calum insisted.
"Thank you Calum." I replied, going to the back with Bradley.
This room was actually pretty cute. It was small, but with a king sized bed that filled up the entire room.
After unpacking our bags, we came out to see Luke,Calum,Ashton,and Michael doing some weird shit,which didn't surprise me. Luke was holding a stuffed penguin, keeping it away from Calum and Michael who were both trying to take it away. They were swearing and cussing, which of course made Ashton yell,"Hey,don't swear!"
I look at Bradley, then asked him:
"Why do I love this band?"
"Because they are all weird and unique. Just like you sometimes. But you're beautiful." Bradley flirted, placing a hand on my cheek.
"I could say the same thing for you." I kiss him, but it was a bad idea when Luke hit me and Bradley playfully with a balloon sword.
"Oh, it's on!" Bradley challenged.
I burst out laughing, then going back to my thoughts. Wow, I guess life does get better after all. I'm dating Bradley, and touring with 5SOS. I guess you could say...

Dreams do come true.
