Autumn's point of view

Today, me and Ashton were going to go and catch up. We were just going to like the park or something. I loved the idea and thought it was great, so did Taylor, and the two band members I have met. I have yet to talk to Luke, he's always asleep or busy.

I checked my phone as I brushed my teeth and furrowed my eyebrows at the text from an unknown number. I didn't open it, not knowing who it was. They could have gotten the wrong number, happens all the time.

If they text again, I'll check, but until then, delete conversation.

I spat the minty water out of my mouth and then wiped it with a towel. "Here's a cute outfit for your day with Ash." She said and handed me some clothes. "You'll look beautiful in it, like you always do."

"Thanks Tay," I said and smiled. She nodded and left, hearing her phone ring. I set the clothes on the counter and then closed the door. I didn't need to close it if it was just Taylor, but one of the guys could walk in the room and I didn't want them to see me.

I threw the outfit on and then looked at myself in the mirror. It was a white tank-top with a blue skirt and white thigh-high socks. She also had given me my piercings and some silver jewelry to go with it since the skirt was a dark blue and everyone knows silver goes with dark blue perfectly. She gave me a pair of white flats and also, a dark blue clutch.

I quickly did my make-up and brushed my hair out. I decided to straighten it and once I finished, I left the bathroom after turning the straightener off. I sprayed some perfume on and the left the room, my phone and some make-up in my purse, along with money. "Finished?" I heard Ashton ask as I walking into the living room.

"Yeah," I said and Taylor gasped. "Uh," I said and I was being picked up. She was always so much stronger than I was and was always able to lift me up.

"You look so beautiful, oh my god, why don't you let me dress you up like this all the time? I wouldn't mind you getting all girly and cute with me." She said and set me down. "Or dirty and kinky," she said quietly, though someone heard her.

"Please no sex while we are here. And if you do decide to get some, wash the sheets yourself. I don't want Luke to be touching tainted sheets." I heard Michael said and I blushed really hard.

"Why are you so dirty Tay? Who do you get it from?" I asked, knowing her parents didn't act like this. I looked at Michael jokingly and he nodded. "I blame Michael over here,"

"We all do Autumn," Taylor said and they nodded. "No go run along with Ashton. Also, be protective over her for me. She's beautiful and I don't want any disgusting pig staring at her the wrong way. Punch them if they do."

"Will do Taylor Clifford," Ashton said and saluted her. I rolled my eyes and laughed at the two. "C'mon, we should go now." He said and I nodded.

"Let's go," I agreed.

"How's life been with the band?" I asked Ashton as I sat on the park bench with him, two bags of Subway sandwiches in front of us along with a few cups of Starbucks.

"It's been absolutely amazing. We got to meet some bands and some of my idols that I used to, and still love. Dave Ghrol, All Time Low, Sleeping With Sirens, and more. We got to write songs with them aswell. We even toured with the One Direction guys a few times in the past. Overall, it was amazing and I really hope we're still doing this in ten years." He told me, a smile on his lips.

"Any tours coming up?" I asked him and he nodded. "When?" I asked him and he hummed as he thought about it.

"Few months." He said and I nodded. "What about you? How was life like for you?" He asked and my smile faded a bit.

"It was okay," I said honestly. "I finished highschool, well, actually I just left it to move here. I wasn't even thinking about enrolling again." I said, now thinking about it. "I have a wonderful girlfriend, who you've met."

"Neither of you two have told me how you've met. She always swayed away from the topic whenever we brought you up. It was like she was trying to keep you a secret." He said and I smiled.

"Probably was," I said and he smiled, amused with my asnwer. "But we met in highschool, like year nine. She was new in school and I was kind of outcasted. We started talking after we were partnered in class and we kind of took off from them. She only really talked to me, so after a month, we had gone on a date and kissed."

"How cute, high-school sweethearts."

"Wow, I haven't heard that term in ages, probably because it's older than I am." I joked and he laughed.

"I still can't believe it's been forever since I've seen you." He said after a period of silence and I agreed with him. "You grew up so quick."

"Time flies." I said and he nodded, agreeing with that statement. "But what about you? What happened to you? Your spiky hair and little giggle?" I asked and he laughed.

"The giggle is still there, and it seems everyone loves that." He said and he giggled. I smiled and then he ran a hand through his hair. "But, the spiky hair didn't suit me."

"How many hairstyles did it take for you to find out you wanted to be like those 70's rockstars?" I asked, motioning to his long hair. "You even have the bandana, good lord help us."

"A lot," he said and I laughed. "I used to straighten it and do the emo fringe. You know, where it goes like this," he said and did it. His hair was so long, you couldn't see his eye.

I laughed as I imagined it and he laughed with me. "It was terrible, I looked so bad." He said and we just laughed together. "Never again will I do that."

"How many hairstyles until you decided you wanted to look like a girl off of Tumblr?" He asked me and I laughed, taking a drink of my Caramel Frappé.

"Not many." I told him, looking up at him through my bangs "I just saw it one day and was like, I have to do that." I told him and he shook his head.

"No fun, I looked like an idiot with all of my twenty different hair styles and you probably only have had like three." He told me and laughed

"I've dyed it colors that were extremely strange on me." I told him. "This one time I had pink, turquoise, green, and purple in my hair, all at one time. I looked... strange to say the least." I said.

"I'm trying to picture you like that, but I can't." He told me and I laughed. "I don't see you dying your hair like that at all. Those are such exotic colors."

"I think I have a picture but I'm not entirely sure if I want to show you." I said and he pouted. "It's really embarrassing."

"Please? I'll show you a picture with my emo fringe." He said and pulled his phone out. I debated it and then nodded. "Yes!" He said and I unlocked my phone.

"It was terrible." I said and showed him a picture. "The only thing good about this picture is Taylor kissing my cheek." I said and he laughed.

"Oh my dear lord," he said and I blushed in embarrassment. "It was terrible, why would you even?" He asked me and I shrugged. "What was going through your mind?"

"I love these colors and instead of dying it the colors separately, why not all at once?" I said and he scrolled through his phone. "I was like seventeen or sixteen. I was an idiot." I said and he nodded.

"Here's my emo fringe days, when bands had fringes and I wanted to be like them." He said and showed me a picture. He looked like those dudes who tried to be cool, but failed.

I laughed and he pulled his phone away. "At least you still looked decent, I looked like a rainbow threw up on me." I told him and he rolled his eyes as he took a drink of whatever he got. I think it was a Vanilla Bean, but I wasn't sure.

"How's the weather today madam?" He asked and I rose an eyebrow. "I ran out of things to say okay? I just said the first thing that came to mind."

"You're still an idiot Ashton." I told him and he nodded. "Anyways, how's the little siblings? I met them and they're wonderful." I said.

"They're good. I talked to them earlier and it seems Harry liked you." He told me and I smiled. "Lauren is a bit iffy because she knows what happened and now kind of hates me and mum."

"Oh um sorry," I said and looked down at the picnic table. "Mum was still sweet as ever and seemed so happy." I told him and he nodded.

"Don't be sorry, it's okay. She'll get over it in a bit, she always does this." He told me. "And mum, she is happier. She missed you but she despises our dad. I do too."

"Count me in on that club too."

"Taylor is calling." I said and then grabbed my phone as I apologized. "Taylor, what's up?" I asked and I heard her squealing.

"Luke! Stop! I'm talking to my girlfriend!" She said loudly and I furrowed my eyebrows together in confusion as I heard him say that she could wait. "No, Luke, stop, please." She said and he huffed.

"Fine, but you owe me." He said. I finally heard him speak, and it's not even towards me. Wow.

"Of course." She said and then laughed a bit. "Autumn, how's the little date with Ashton?" She asked and I rolled my eyes. "Has he punched anyone?"

"No, he has not hit anyone Taylor." I said as Ashton began to eat his sandwhich. "What's going on between you and Luke?"

"He's my best friend out of all of them. He was just upset I beat him in Fifa and began tickling me because you know, I'm very ticklish." She said and I nodded. "Anyways, I was just calling to make sure you're still alive. I know how Ashton can be a bit reckless and such."

"We're both alive babe," I said and chuckled. "I love you too Taylor, see you later." I said after she spoke up again. I hung up the phone and then looked at Ashton.

"Luke is her best friend out of us all, there's no need to be all protective and jealous." He told me and I nodded. "Luke would never help someone cheat, he's too nice of a guy to do that to someone."

"Yeah, and I know Taylor would never cheat on me." I said as I took another drink of my Caramel Frappé. "I love her and she loves me." I said and smiled.

"Want to go catch a movie? I don't want to go home just yet, besides, it'll be fun." He told me and I looked at my sandwhich. "There are good movies coming out."

"After I finish this," I said and he nodded. "But anyways, I missed you and mum a lot. Dad wouldn't even let me bring you two up, especially mum." I said.

"We missed you too," He said and smiled. "But we have you now, and we're really not planning on giving you back." He said and I laughed. I shook my head and then looked down at the table.

"I don't want to go back."
