Hey guys! I'm back from a pretty long hiatus, but I have a new story :) Oh and also, this story is on Wattpad (which I just started using) so it would mean the world if you checked it out and shared it with your friends because I'm starting from scratch. My username is piinkielollipop BTW :) Love you guys 3

Their words cut her like a knife.

Their glares were as sharp as daggers.

Her escape was music.

Four faces stared back at me as I eagerly lifted the lid of my laptop: Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Ashton Irwin, and, oh my god, CALUM HOOD. His dark, messy hair; his chocolate brown eyes; and need I say, his huge biceps and amazing –

"Dream on, Raelynn," I mutter to myself, then open up safari and go on my favorite website – YouTube. Ever since we had moved to Sydney, I had a hard time at school. Why my parents chose to move to Sydney, I'll never understand why. My mom said was for my dad's job or whatever, but her excuses don't bring back my old friends, school, and home, do they? Truth be told, the people at my school aren't that nice. But now wasn't the time to ponder over such negative things because I had just received tons of emails when my notifications on YouTube literally just blew up.

First, I clicked on my own channel, and found out that over a thousand people had just subscribed to me. From eight hundred fifty four to two thousand and three. Over one night. I squealed in excitement, and then stopped when I realized how childish I was being. I realized that my most recent cover of "Over and Over" by 5 Seconds of Summer (which I uploaded a few days ago) had over ten thousand views.

"What the," I breathe. Considering that my usual amount of views lingered around the hundreds, ten thousand was a real milestone. Since I had too many notifications to go through, I decide to scroll through the comments on my cover of "Over and Over". I clicked on it, and started to scan through the comments:

"omgggggg 5sos commented!"

"this girl has real talent"

"5SOS PLEASE SIGN HER"

"she's so lucky 5sos noticed her oh my goshhhh!"

"5sos noticed me…?" I mumble, not even hearing what I was saying. Then, my brain clicked and made sense of all the comments. I leaped to my feet, and through my pillow across the room. "HOLY SHIT WHAT 5SOS NOTICED ME?!" Not believing it, I don't bother to take time to calm down, but drop down on my belly instead and read all the comments until I see the life changing comment.

"Hi Raelynn, we're 5SOS and we really like your cover. Do you want to meet up sometime so maybe we can talk about signing you? xoxo, Luke, Ash, Cal, Mikey"

I didn't notice the tears streaming down my face until minutes later while I stared, shock-still, at my laptop screen. Then, I didn't hesitate to reply.

"Sure. Private message me and we'll talk there. Love you guys :) xoxo, Raelynn"
