Life With O2L

Chapter 15: 18

My birthday's today. I'm turning eighteen, finally. IM LEGAL AY (a/n- omg i'll stop). When I woke up, I got a bunch of texts from my friends wishing me a happy birthday. I laughed at the one Kyle sent in our group message.

Kyle: happy bday azzinator. you're eighteen. now you can legally smoke pot and buy cheap porn.

and then Alex sent a message.

Alex: omg kyle, what are you and meghan doing-

Kyle: you already know

Jordan: omG STAhP

Johnnie: stop acting so innocent, Jordan.

Me: dorks.

I put my phone down until I have to pick it up again. It's from my manager.

"AZZIE HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" She screams so loudly I have to move the phone away.

"Thanks. Why are you calling at 6 in the morning..?" I ask.

I can practically hear her smiling through the phone. "You know that band 5 Seconds of Summer?"

I scoff, "everyone in America does. Of course I know them, I've known them for over a year. They're really sweet." And I find myself thinking about Michael, quickly erasing the thought from my head.

I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and leave the phone on speaker.

"They'll be featured in your show tonight!"

I spit out my toothpaste and drop my toothbrush. "Are you screwing with me right now?"

"I promise I'm not lying!"

"Holy crap.."

--at the show--

Backstage, I'm nervous than ever. This is one of the biggest shows I've ever played. Especially since I'll be singing some not-really-pop-songs with freaking 5SOS. The door opens and interrupts my thinking. The four 5SOS members walk in. They all hug me suddenly. I hug back, smiling slightly. They pull back but I find Michael still hugging me. I chuckle nervously and he pulls away.

"It's so amazing to finally meet you guys in person." I admit.

"We were so excited," Luke smiles.

"Ready to go out there?" Ashton says. I nod.

"Barely."

"You'll be fine, promise." Calum says.

When we walk onstage, the crowd screams. They all tell me happy birthday and I scream back that I love them. The first song plays, and I talk into the microphone.

"So, this one isn't really pop.. But I've been listening to a lot of different music recently... So this is Millennia by Crown the Empire."

As I sing the first verse, to my surprise, some people sing along. I feel so alive, not like any of the other shows before. I've just recently dyed my hair black and blue, and the fans love it.

When the song ends, I smile widely. I stop playing my guitar. Mikey suddenly drops his instrument and hugs me right onstage, in front of everyone. 

"You were amazing," he exclaims.

And then he kisses me. Soft and sweet, I haven't felt like this before. I'm so surprised by it I forget to even kiss back. My lips move in sync with his until were interrupted by Luke clearing his voice at us.

He quickly pulls away, leaving me blushing.

"Oh don't mind us," Calum shakes his head. "You just keep making out."

Mikey laughs and goes back to where he was, leaving me completely blushing. We finish the night off with "goodnight moon" by go radio.

After the show, mikey pulls me backstage.

"So what was that for..?" I say.

He shrugs," I've just really been wanting to do that for a while."

"MIKEY!!" Their manager yells.

"COMING!" He yells back, kissing me once more.

And before I can even think straight, he's gone.

--A/N--
