"That interview was.....interesting."

"That interview will be posted on the internet." she said.

"It wasn't that bad, Robbie."

She scoffed, "5SOS questions! I thought it was going to be about my book but all I got were questions about 5SOS."

"What are you so angry about?" I asked. We were back on her flat having a light lunch after the interview.

"I'm not angry." Robbie grumbled as she picked at her chicken with her fork."

I studied her for a second and then concluded what's wrong.

"You're disappointed." I said.

"Well, yeah. I never thought Will would stoop so low to get goss---"

"Not in Will. No!" I interrupted her. "You're angry at yourself."

That stopped her.

"You wanted to tell the truth. That there was something between you and Calum. Now, it's on the internet. And he's gonna see how you.....turned away and rejected every single question about you and him." Then I added, "That is of course if he watches the video."

Then Robbie groaned and covered her face with her hands. Since she's not disagreeing with what I said, I suppose I was spot on.

"Of course he's gonna see the video." she groaned once more. "Now he's going to hate me even more."

"Don't be melodramatic, Robbie. You don't even know that. You don't even know if he really is mad at you." I said to her. "Since you don't even bother to talk to him."

Thank God we have the week off from the book tour so I don't have to worry about Robbie's schedule that much. The next thing on her list was a gala she has to attend and that's not going to happen for another week. I just hope she'll be feeling better soon.

NARRATOR'S POV

"Right. Well, I can't exactly tell you in an interview."

"Very well.....congratulations for the enormity of your success."

"And thank you for choosing to interview me." she smiled.

"It was our pleas---"

Calum turned off his phone and threw it on his bed.

That was the 11th time he watched the interview since it aired and everytime he did, a wave of emotions flooded his body and mind. An emotion so strong, even Calum doesn't know what it is.

He just knows about the tightness in his chest when he sees Robbie's face.

"Calum! We have to go!" Michael yelled as he knocked on Calum's door.

"I know! Shut up!"he shouted back. Then he put on a hoodie and a snapback, then went on his way out.

5 Seconds of Summer just finished their headline tour and now working on a second album. They were in London and were staying at a rented flat where they could stay and take care of their music.

When Michael saw Calum's face, he knew what was wrong.

"You saw her interview." Michael didn't say it as a question but a statement.

Calum nodded and walked past him. Luke and Ashton were there, too, looking on at their friend.

"Have you talked to Shay yet?" Ashton asked Michael.

He nodded and told him, "She said Robbie is acting the same."

"Yeah. We have to get them back together." Luke added. "I know Calum has written a ton of great songs but the gloominess has to stop."
