*Maddy's P.O.V*
                          
                       After the talk with my parents, I realized that going to the house wasn't the best idea at this point. So,  the park became my friend for a while. The birds were particularly loud today. The spiders were, for once, hidden.  They usually hang out outside when they know people will be here. My anxiety is thankful they stayed away.  To my surprise,  the guys were handing out fliers. Maybe about the tour. 
                          
"Hey,  Cal."
                          
He turns and his mood instantly changes from crappy to happy. 
                          
"Maddy!" He hugs me. 
                          
"What are the fliers for?" He hands me one. 
                          
5 seconds of summer upcoming tour!

refer to YouTube for the dates and places! 
                          
"You're leaving in three days?" I ask. 
                          
"Look at the bottom." Luke asks. 
                          
We are going to be accompanied by Calum's girlfriend Maddy Baxter. 
                          
"Wait...  What?"
                          
"We all decided to let you come with us if you want to." Ash says with a smile. 
                          
"Yeah,  I still wanna go." My whole mood doesn't really change,  but its not as mad as it was. 
                          
Lukes mood changes and the rest of them seems to follow. Before I know it,  the guys are trying to hide me and Luke is motioning me not to talk. 
                          
"Please come to the show." Ash says to a fan and they hug him. 
                          
"So where's Maddy?" I hear Liams voice. 
                          
That's why they're hiding me.  Liams here. 
                          
"We don't know." Cal says with a fake smile. 
                          
I turn away and start off on the opposite direction.  There's a tree not to far from them and I can still hear their conversation. 
                          
"You know,  she will learn to hate that all you do is leave.  She will come back to me." Liam says in a matters of fact way. 
                          
I hear Ash laugh. "That's never gonna happen mate."
                          
"Ah,  but it will." 
                          
I didn't know Mikey had sneaked his way over to me and when I felt him touch me,  I jumped. 
                          
"You actually scared the hell out of me." I spit. 
                          
"Sorry,  but Cal told me to get you out of here." He says. 
                          
"Mike,  I'm perfectly fine behind this tree. In fact,  I would be perfectly fine if I was standing with my boyfriend. Actually, that's where I'd rather be." 
                          
Cal looks at Mikey as I walk up to him and gives him a "really? " face. 
                          
"Hey Cal." I put my arms around him and he puts his around my shoulder. 
                          
"What are you doing?" Cal asks. 
                          
"Oh babe,  listen I need you to help me pack my stuff for later.  Will you help me?" 
                          
Cal looks annoyed with me. "Yeah,  but you should go now and start getting ready."
                          
He's referring to Liam and quite frankly,  I don't care that he's there. He hasn't said nothing to me. 
                          
"Hey Maddy,  I miss you." Liam says. 
                          
Until now. 
                          
"Well that sounds like your problem." I can feel the air get thicker and pull a weight on us. Liam looks betrayed. 
                          
"But...  You always come back to me."
                          
"Sorry,  she's mine now and I don't plan on letting her go."
                          
Liam gets up in Cal's face. "You touch her and you'll be a dead drummer."
                          
Ash makes a face out of pure anger and I swear his head is about to catch on fire. "I'm the drummer thank you."
                          
"Not important." Liam says. "Maddy is mine and I won't lose her to some punk rocker who can't even sing."
                          
I really should have him legally taken care of. 
                          
"Listen Liam, " I start. "This,  whatever it was,  is over.  So move on.  I never wanna see you again. I. Don't. Need. You."
                          
He smiles. "Maybe not now,  oh but when this rocker breaks your heart,  you'll realize I'm all you have."
                          
"That won't ever happen." Cal says,  trying to put me behind him. 
                          
"This isn't over." Liam storms off. 
                          
Cal looks to me. "What the hell Maddy?"
                          
"I need to face up to him sooner or later.  If I don't handle him now things could get worse and we really don't need that.  He needs to know I'm with you and that he never has a chance of getting me back."
                          
Cal wants to be mad,  I can tell, but its not working.  Luke and Ash are still handing out fliers. Mike,  on the other hand,  got distracted by a hot girl and is talking to her. 
                          
"Hey,  Mike,  come back to earth please." I joke. 
                          
He continues to talk to her. 
                          
Inside,  I'm laughing at him. 
                          
"I think Mike has girl fever." Cal says. 
                          
Ash and Luke hand out the last papers. 
                          
"Okay,  so we do need to go get ready.  We have three days to get packed and to the first location. Then for the other half of the tour in the U. S." Ash points out. 
                          
                       We all pile into Cal's car,  but at first we don't all fit. Ash said he would drive so hes in the front and because Michael just had to bring his guitar, its in the passenger seat. So, Cal, Luke, Michael and I had to all squeeze in the back. Luke and Michael were squished together til Ash suggested that I sit on Cal's lap. 
                          
                          None of us were worried about our seatbelts but Cal said he didn't want me to fall off of him, so he puts his arms around me. How you remind me by Nickelback comes on the radio and Luke starts belting out the lyrics. Ash is drumming on the steering wheel. Cal is singing quietly, and Mikey plays air guitar. After that song ends,  another one comes on and I don't know it. 
                          
                          Ash is still drumming but everyone else goes quiet.  Oh wait,  is this one of their songs? 
                          
"Life can be so hard to breathe when you're trapped inside a box. You're waiting for a break to come, it always comes too late (woah, woah). You're on the edge, stumbling' and the road it starts to wind,But every time a page is turned a chance to make it right.  Oh the sun will rise like a flame ignites.  We're not done til we say it's over.  We won't fade away oh the sun will rise, Tomorrow never dies."
                          
"Hey,  I like this song." 
                          
"You should. Its one of ours." Mike says. "Oh,  that sounded mean. I'm sorry." 
                          
I smile to let him know he's fine. 
                          
"You made my leg fall asleep." I look at Cal. 
                          
"Sorry babygirl." He smiles. 
                          
Ah,  I earned the nickname. I've heard him call other girls that but as of now,  I guess I hadn't earned it. But now I did and I'm gonna love hearing it. 
                          
"I love you Cal."
                          
He looks at me like I just gave him the world. 
                          
"I love you too." Cal says. 
                          
Now he just gave me the world. Then again,  he is my world.
