Hey guys! I'm so so so so so sorry for not updating in a long time. I have no excuses, well apart from I've literally had no chance to update... even throughout my so called 'summer break' because even then my tutors at college have given me online assignments to do, and now it's all about getting pressured to apply to uni, I'm not even 18 yet and aghhh. I just want to scream. With work as well, it's trying to find that balance between work, college and being able to see my boyfriend/friends and having a social life.

Also I got a puppy, so I've not really had the chance to sit down and concentrate when he wasn't that house trained when we got him and with me being the only one at home most of the summer as well... well you know. Plus he kept picking on the older dog (whom we've had to have put down recently as well) so yeah.

oh in other news I'M SEEING R5 IN MANCHESTER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OCTOBER. I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT, I'VE WAITED FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS TO SEE THEM LIVE, 4 FUCKING YEARS, AND I'M FINALLY GOING TO SEE THEM AND SOME MUTUALS AS WELL. IS ANYONE ELSE GOING? DSJHDIFHIFHWEFBHFWEHEWI :D

snozberriesme: I know, i've read so many stories where filler chapters are so short and confusing it's like where is this going, I'm so confused. Awe thank you so much, I'm not planning to quit just yet, though there will come a day where i'm going to have too, sadly, but as long as I have inspiration to write, I ain't going nowhere, I just feel bad i'm not updating as frequently as I used too, that's all.

Chapter 4:

-Couple of hours later-

Michaels POV-

"Ross!" I heard Ashton shout as we were about to leave to go to Luke's house. Sure he's not said a word to any of us since we landed here, but he still needs to know where we're going. Heck, he might even want to come with us to meet our friend Luke, and his future fiancée… ya know when he gets the guts to pop the question… and if she says yes, but really I seriously doubt that she will say no, I'm just surprised that it took him this long to pop the question to her, I can remember the day that he met her.

Flashback:

-7 years ago-

"Oooh! Luke's calling!" I heard Ashton yell from the other room and I swear Calum ran to where he was, knocking something over in the process. I really hope it's not something that is valuable to Ashton otherwise Calum's going to get it in his neck.

"Michael are you coming or not?" I heard Calum yell to me causing me to chuckle and walk in to the room.

"That would be a yes. Are you answering then Ashton?" I asked, sitting down with them. To which he just nodded and answered.

"Hey guys!" His voice chorused through the computer screen, this is like the first time he's called us since he's moved over to America… I miss him, in a friendly way of course! It's just weird that he isn't around at the moment. But he said he might get the chance to visit whenever he can though which is good.

"Hey Luke!" All three of us replied at the same time which caused all of us to laugh a little. "Nice to finally talk to you properly." I then said and he sighed.

"Yeah sorry about the long wait, and I haven't been able to keep in touch like I said, but really I've been unpacking and there's been WiFi issues and I tried to call you guys but it wouldn't connect, I'm not sure if it's my end or your end… probably my end and really I've been looking around the area and getting used to my new surroundings. But now that I've properly settled down and everything I can call you more!" He explained and we all nodded.

"So, what else have you been doing besides from 'settling down'?" I asked him, using finger quotes when I said settling down.

"Well… not a lot, just really been looking around and adapting to the area I suppose, as well as unpacking and everything. You're all going to have to come sometime; you're going to love it here." He said, with a slight blush rising on his cheeks.

"You've met a girl!" Ashton then shouted out and he blushed even more.

"He has as well! So come on Lukey, tell us about her." Calum mocked causing me to chuckle. I really wish he was still here, but he moved over there for his career, a fresh start I suppose you could call it.

"Nothing's really happened between us yet…. I mean I only met her a few hours ago…" Luke trailed off, blushing even more.

"But you already like her?" I asked him and he nodded. "Is she hot?" I then heard Calum ask causing Ashton hit him in the arm, and a glare off Luke.

"Nice one Calum…" Ashton said, "But is she?" He then added.

"Yes, she is, she's very hot not that it's any of your guys concern, looks don't always mean everything you know." Luke said.

"You're in love!" I exclaimed.

"I am not, I only met her today. I like her, and we are going to meet up again but that doesn't mean I love her." Luke said, rolling his eyes at me.

"And I know looks don't mean everything, but it's a bonus if she is, you've got to admit." Ashton then said.

"Who cares, I want to know how they met." Calum said, causing Ashton to look at him weird. "What, I'm a sucker for a good love story."

"But I don't love her!" Luke whined.

"Yet. You don't love her yet." Calum said and Luke groaned. "Just tell us how you met her already!" He then added.

"Fine, I was on the beach sunbathing, and Rydel was walking along the beach. I don't think she saw me, though it was partly my fault for sunbathing where I was, anyway, she tripped over me and she fell on me. But the second she realised she was on top of me she turned the most beautiful shade of red, clearly embarrassed, and got all flustered. She got off me and well we just sat and talked for a few hours, exchanged numbers and then we went our separate ways." Luke explained.

"That's it? What was she wearing? What does she look like? What's even her name?" Calum asked.

"God Calum, you really want to know everything don't you?" Luke asked, chuckling slightly.

"Well duh, this is your future wife we're talking about." Calum said shrugging his shoulders.

"Who say's anything about marrying her, like I said, I've only met her today, gosh Calum." Luke then replied.

"He's right though Luke, seriously what's her name and what does she look like?" Ashton asked and Luke sighed.

"Okay, her name's Rydel, and she has blonde hair, beautiful brown eyes, and her smile is the best thing I have ever seen, I swear. She's the most gorgeous female I have ever met I swear. Like no-one comes close…" Luke trailed off

"Luke's in love! Luke's in love!" All 3 of us chanted and he blushed once again.

"Guys shut up; I'm not in love with her." Luke said, rolling his eyes.

"Yet, you're not in love with her YET." I then said and he groaned before hanging up.

"He's totally in love with her." Ashton then said causing Calum to chuckle and nod in agreement.

"I guarantee they're going to get together, have children and get married." I said, and they both mumbled yes.

-Present day-

And I wasn't wrong because here we are, outside their house waiting for him to open the door so we can plan how he's going to propose to her. Rydel's in a shock of a lifetime when she finds out what's going on.
