1. I obvioulsy know it's Aussie not Ozzie. Iggy just said Ozzie.
2. Ashton had only been stabbed twice right?
3. I know you think Ashton gets hurt too much but I do it intentionally, he's just that person that has horrible luck and it's always them bad stuff happens to. Idk.
4. Ashton was born in Australia then moved to Africa. I just realized I didn't say that, so sorry.
“Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break break, and the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake fa…..”
“Luke shut up.”
“Sorry.”
“He looks so cute when he sleeps.”
“You can take five hundred steps away from my man.”
“Woa, ladies, ladies let’s be civil.”
“Shut up Calum.”
“Guys let’s talk about something else instead….. like the fact that everyone hates us.”
“Everyone doesn’t hate us.”
“Check twitter.”
“Why?”
“Just do it.”
“And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate ha….”
“Luke what did I say?”
“Sorry.”
“What the hell is this?”
“Right?”
“DirectionersWant5SOSFansDead?”
“Keep scrolling there’s more.”
“LovaticsWantThe5SOSFamDead?”
“Yup.”
“What the hell is this?”
“Don’t know but I’m pissed.”
“Plus they’re blaming our fans.”
“I’m so done.”
“Tell me about it.”
“Let’s just build a camp rock on the woods like in that movie with the Disney people and we take all our fans and live happily ever after.”
“That’s really realistic Luke.”
“Really?”
“No you dumb shit, every word out of your mouth is like diarrhea.”
“Oh,”
“It’s okay Lukey, I love you.”
“I love you too Charlie.”
“Wait! Did he just move?”
“Jess, stop that’s like the fourth time you’ve sai….”
“No I see it!”
“Are you sure?”
“I think so.”
“Ashton….. can you hear us?”
“Ash….. sweetheart?”
“Oh my God, gag me please.”
“Shut up Michael.”
Groaning, I fluttered my eyes open and looking around found myself in a large hospital room, surrounded by Calum, Michael, Luke, Gemma, Jess, Destiny, Charlie, Gabby, Grace and Paul.
“Ash!” Destiny shrieked, moving forward and brushing my hair back off my face.
“Wh…what happened?” I groaned.
“You almost drown, your broke your foot and you got stabbed.” Luke answered.
“Wh… where are Camilla and Lauren?”
“They were in jail.” Calum replied.
“For live five minutes.” Grace mumbled, “The vamps bailed them out.”
“What about Jackie?” I asked.
Looking down, Calum wrapped an arm around Grace who buried her face in his chest.
“There wasn’t anything we could do.” Gemma whispered.
“Lauren,” Luke mumbled, “She came up behind her and just….. pushed her. It was awful. The look on her face, when she fell, she was so terrified, and the sound….. when she hit the gr….”
“Enough.” Calum barked, while Grace let out a strangled sob.
“I’m sorry.” Luke apologized.
“It’s fine,” Gabby answered, since Grace wasn’t capable of talking at the moment, “She’s better off now I guess.”
“I should have never left.” I mumbled.
“Don’t be stupid.” Grace sniffed, “She would have hated you if you let those fans die. At least she didn’t die in vain.”
“I’m still sorry,” I whispered.
“We’re just happy you’re okay.” Gabby sighed, “Everyone thought you had…. You know.”
“You were legally dead for a minute and a half.” Michael muttered.
Glancing over at Destiny and finding her eyes squeezed tightly closed I reached out and laced my fingers with hers.
“It’s okay,” I assured her.
“Is it?” she asked, “They’re nuts Ashton and they’re out there, they’re not going to stop until they get what they want.”
“Are we safe?” Charlie whispered.
“Honestly?” Calum sighed, “I doubt it.”
“Calum don’t be such a downer, God.” Jess muttered.
“He’s right.” Paul said suddenly, reentering the conversations.
“What do you mean?” Luke questioned.
“You’re not safe.” Paul sighed, “We could up your security but they’d just go after the fans…. Or your families, there’s not really anything we can do.”
“That’s bullshit!” Michael cried.
“Young man!” Paul warned, “Watch the language.”
“Sorry,” Michael muttered, “It’s just…What are we supposed to do? How many people have to die?”
“No more,” Paul answered, “We already have a plan.”
“What is it?” I asked.
“You’re going to take a break.” He replied.
“Wait, what?” Calum cried.
“Like from performing?” Michael shrieked.
“I reuse!” Luke cried.
“It’s refuse buddy.” Destiny mumbled, “But I agree, you can’t do that Paul.”
“Yeah!” I added, “This band, is everything I’ve ever wanted, never in a million years did I ever think I would be successful…. At anything….. And now, we’ve made it, we’re like…. A real band! With real fans and….. they mean a lot to us, and us to them, we can’t just leave them…… I’d rather get stabbed again.”
“Jesus Ashton it’s like the twelfth time.” Calum muttered.
“It is not!” I argued.
“You’re confusing when he got shot.” Jess mumbled.
“Oh,” Calum replied, “Yeah, either way the kid’s an accident magnet.”
“I’m older then you!”
“You’re still the new guy.”
“No I’m not!”
“Yeah you are, you’ll always be the new guy.”
“How the hell does that work?”
“Well,” Luke sighed, “First I was the new guy, then Michael, and Calum, and now you.”
“Boys, we’re getting off topic.” Jess sighed.
“No we’re not.” Michael replied, “I refuse to leave this band.”
“No one is asking you to leave anything!” Paul groaned, “You’re just taking a break.”
“No!” I cried.
“You have to!” Paul snapped, “Not for long, just for a little while until we figure out away to get rid of these stupid killer bands.”
“What do you have in mind exactly?” Destiny asked.
“You boys,” he replied, “Are going to go off the grid for a while.”
“What?” Luke asked, “Is that like in battleship?”
“Holy shit.” Calum muttered.
“No,” Paul sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, “No, the four of you are going into the witness protection program.”
“The what?” Calum asked.
“Let me put it this way,” Paul groaned, “Luke, say hello to your new brother Michael and your cousin Ashton and your guys best friend Calum, you’re going to college.”

“Guys, before we go, we have something to say.”
Chewing his bottom lip, Michael looked back at me. Fiddling with the hem of my shirt I took a deep breath.
“This is our last show for a little while.”
Looking down at my phone I watched as questions of where we were going and pleads to stay flooded through. Taking a deep breath I looked into the google hangout stream.
“Thank you, every single one of you, for everything.”
“Every song you bought.” Luke mumbled.
“Or downloaded in a slightly less than legal way.” Calum chuckled.
“Seriously?” Michael demanded.
Calum shrugged.
Turning away from them I sighed, “Thank you for every ticket you bought.”
“And twit cam you watched.” Michael added.
“Every tweet you sent.” Calum mumbled.
“Every piece of merch.” Michael muttered.
“Thank you for voting.” Luke whispered.
“For making us the band we always wanted to be.” Calum added.
“And for making our dreams come true.” I said softly.
“We wouldn’t be here without you.” Michael sniffed, looking down at his hands and playing with his fingers, “We….. owe it all to you. You’re more than our fans…. You’re family.”
“You’ll always be our boys and girls.” Luke said quietly, wiping the tears leaking from his eyes onto his sleeve.
“And we’ll always be your boys.” Calum finished for him.
“I know,” Luke said shakily, “That I said once, that you should find something that makes you happy and don’t let anyone take it away from you……. And I’m sorry, I really am, if we were that something, but we’ll be back, I promise.”
“Yeah,” Michael whispered, “Because, real bands save fans and real fans save bands and…..”
“All I can say is you saved me.” Luke interrupted.
“So I couldn’t live with myself if we didn’t return the favor.” I mumbled, “Yeah we’re going for a while, but we’ll be back, I promise, and until then, watch the chived twitcams, listen to our music, and just…. don’t forget about us okay.”
“Let’s wrap it up.” A woman sighed poking her head into the room.
“Okay guys, we’re gonna go.” Michael mumbled.
“Have a good day,” I sighed, forcing a smile.
“Or a good night, depending on where you are.” Luke said slowly.
Looking at him I nodded, then turned back to the screen, “Um…. If… if you’re having a rough time or whatever….keep on trucking, we love you lots.”
“Keep on keeping on.” Luke added.
“Keep on keeping on,” I repeated.
“Love you,” Michael said.
“Listen to some music.” I continued.
“Nickelback.” Michael mumbled.
“Yeah, listen to some Nickelback.” I sighed.
“Yes!” Luke sniffed, his eyes red, “Give them a chance!”
“Luke’s starting a campaign #Give NickelBackAChance.” Michael laughed.
“Boys,” the woman sighed.
“Okay,” I said turning to the screen once again and waving, “Bye guys.”
“Love you,” Calum added.
“Bye bye,” Luke whispered.
Michael waved and the screen went black.
It was over.
Rubbing at my eyes furiously I rose to my feet and started out of the room, not wanting the others to see me cry.
“Ashton.” Michael called after me.
“Yeah?” I sniffed, forcing a smile.
“We’ll be back.” He said softly.
“Yeah, I know.” I coughed, trying to act like I wasn’t about to burst into hysterics.
“It isn’t over.” Luke said randomly, “Not even close.”
“What if it is though.” Calum muttered, “What if they forget about us.”
Suddenly my phone buzzed, pulling out I was surprised to see a text from Destiny with a link. Clicking on it, my eyebrows raised as it brought me to twitter where #500ReaonsWhyWeLove5SOS was already trending.
“They won’t.” I answered, smiling a little before starting back out of the room.
“Oh, and Ashton.” Michael called after me again.
“Yeah?” I questioned, stopping in the doorway.
“I….I just wanted you to know that….” Michael sighed, “You…. You’re not the new guy anymore.”
