Pretty Girls Lie

5am. Hope woke up naked in Calum's bed. Her head was on his bare chest and his arm was over her shoulder.

- Fuck. - She said quietly.

She gently took his hand and removed it from her shoulder. She griped the sheets around her chest and carefully got out of bed. Once she found her panties she let the sheets fall to the ground and put them on. She didn't bother with putting her corset back on. Hope put her dress back on and with her corset in one and heels in her other hand left Calum's room, quietly closing the door behind her. She could hear the guys' loud voices talking downstairs. She headed to her room on her tip toes, hoping no one would come upstairs, but her luck seemed to have run out.

- Hey. - Michael said with a grin on his face.

Hope let out a sigh. - Should I bother with coming up with a good excuse?

- Yeah, I wouldn't... - He said. - I saw you sneaking out.

- Great. - She breathed out quietly.

Michael laughed.

- Look, could you please not...

- Tell anyone about your midnight sinning sesion? - Michael cut her off. - Don't worry about it.

- Thank you. - She said and smiled weakly.

- You don't have to thank me... - He told her. - You should go before someone else comes up.

Hope nodded in agreement and went to her bedroom.

Some say the best way to cure a hangover is to just continue drinking and that seemed to be what the eight guys were doing at 8am in the living room. The only person missing the party was Hope. She was upstairs leaning over the railing trying to see who all is there but she couldn't see anything. After a minute of quitely pacing around and making up her mind she went downstairs. Instead of going to the living room, were everyone was, she headed for the door, trying to leave quitely. She tried to leave unnoticed, but that didn't really work out for her.

- Hope! - Ashton noticed his little sister.

- Shit. - Hope breathed out quietly before turning around to look at Ashton.

The boys from both bands were all there, but the only one she cared about was Calum. Jesse and Cody were passed out on the couch while the rest were talking and drinking.

Hope was wearing high waisted, denim, ripped skinny jeans, a tight red halter top, her back completely naked and red, ankle lenght lace up heels. She had on a matte bright red lipstick and for the first time since she's been here her hair wasn't falling freely. The curls on the back of her head were secured up with a a few of them sticking out in the front, it was a little messy, but she was pulling it off nicely. Calum was wearing a black, long sleeved turtleneck and skinny jeans, we can very clearly see which one of them has mastered the power of makeup.

- Where are you going? - Ashton asked her.

- The hospital.

- Why? Is everything alright? - Her brother was worried.

- Everything is fine... - She chuckled a little at her concerned brother. - I just volunteer at the hospital every Saturday.

Calum smiled slighty, her middle name suited her... Most of the time.

- I should get going. - Calum was looking at her and wasn't even trying to hide it.

- You need a ride? - Blue offered, he was the only one without a drink in front of him or in his hand.

- No, I'm good. - She declined. - But thank you.

- When do you finish? - Luke asked her.

- Around eight, why?

- We're going out to eat. - He told her. - We'll come pick you up.

- I'll be driving... - Blue said. - Don't worry.

- Alright. - She said and half smiled.

After a quick glance at Calum she turned around and left.

The nine of them were sitting in a pizzeria, messing around as usual. Hope hasn't looked at Calum once since they got there. Thankfully, Michael was the only one to notice the tension between them.

- Hello everyone, Ash here. I just wanted to make you sure you guys know how much we love you and how much you mean to us... Also, I wanna let you know that we have a little surprise coming up, I think you're gonna be very excited, I know we are. - Ashton was filming himself, while Luke was poking his head from behing his shoulder and staring at the camera. - Don't mind the idiot behind me... Anyway, I love you guys, I hope your day is going great and I'll talk to you soon!

- Hey, now that we have all the members we're still missing one thing. - King said.
- What't that?

- A band name. - He said.

- Shit, right. - Blue added. - Any ideas?

- I got nothing. - Jesse said.

Everyone, including the 5SOS boys, was trying to come up with a good name. Michael was the first one to give a suggestion.

- How about Midnight Sinning Session? - Michael said while grinning at Hope and Calum.

Hope was throwing daggers at him with her eyes.

- Midnight Sinning Session... - Cody repeated. - I like it.

- Not bad. - King said. - Has some mischief to it...it's good.

Calum, just now catching up to what Michael meant by that, looked at Hope and for the first time that night, she looked back at him.

- I'm down for it. - Blue said with a half smile.

- Me too. - Jesse added. - You Hope?

- Yeah. - She said quietly, not paying much attention.

- Then it's settled... - King said. - We're the Midnight Sinning Session.

- I'll drink to that. - Cody said and they all raised their glasses.

- Cheers. - They said in unison.

- Let's take a picture together. - Cody told his bandmates.

- Do we have to? - Hope asked.

- Yes, come on. - King told her.

King gave his phone to Calum and the five of them got closer together so they can all fit in the picture. Hope and King were serious, King's hands in his hair. Blue was winking at the camera, his hand over his mouth, Cody was sticking out his tounge and Jesse was smiling humbly.

- Well, Blue was right. - Luke said. - You definitely are the wierdest looking band.

- Wierd's good. - Calum said and glanced at Hope.

- How long have you two know each other? - Cody asked Hope and Jesse.

- We met, I think, four years ago. - Jesse told him.

- So did anything ever happen' between you two? - Cody asked them with a grin on his face.

- No. - Hope said while glancing at her sinning buddy. - We're just friends, and always have been just friends.

- For now... - Cody said quietly, but everyone heard him.

King slapped the back of Cody's head.

- Ow, that hurt. - Cody whined.

- Good. - King said.

- What did I do?

King looked at him in disbelevment.

- And this is the 'how much of an idiot can you be' face. - Blue commented.

Cody looked at them confused, while Jesse was trying really hard to tell him with his eyes to look at Calum. After Cody finally figured out what he meant everyone else noticed Jesse's look as well, but Calum and Hope pretended they didn't. Michael was chuckling to himself when Hope kicked his foot. He cleared his troat like nothing happened and put on a serious face.

For a few minutes they were eating in silence. Hope noticed two women walk into the pizzeria. She froze. They took a seat at the table across the room from them and Hope's eyes haven't left them. Calum was the first one to notices tears in Hope's eyes. Calum squashed his napkin and threw it at Ashton. When he looked at him Calum looked at Hope and then so did Ashton.

- Hey, you alright? - Ashton queitly asked his baby sister.

Hope snapped out of her daze.

- Yeah... - She said quietly, looking down.

- Come on, don't lie to me... What's wrong? - They were whispering.

Hope looked at him and took a deep breath. - See those two women across the room?

- Yeah.

- Those are my mom's sister and mother. - Hope said with tears in her eyes.

Notes

It's been a while since I last posted, if anyone is still reading I hope you like this chapter... If you do, or if you don't, it doesn't matter, feel free to let me know what you think in the comments.

Truth be told I'm not really happy with how this story is going, but I'm gonna carry it out anyway and then maybe one day I'll rewrite it better.

I'll probably finish the next chapter a little later to today, so it should be up pretty soon.
