Safety Pin // CTH *DISCONTINUED*

XII

It's day four here in Australia. Yesterday Ashton and Michael did several interviews, so today is Luke and Calum's turn to do some here. Luke's been rushing around all morning trying to decide what to wear while Calum and I sit on the couch.

"Does this look fine?" Luke rushed into the living room.

He was wearing a green shirt with his usual skinny jeans and boots.

"Lucas, you look perfectly fine." I looked at him unbelieving how much more indecisive he is than me. "You guys need to leave if you want to make it to your first interview on time!"

"Which is why we are leaving now. And you-" Luke pulled me off the couch, "are coming with."

"What?" Yes I was already dressed and ready for the day, but I wasn't planning on going with.

Today was going to be a me day. I was going to explore the town. See what it had to offer.

"Yup. You're coming with." Calum agreed, grabbing my hand and leading me behind them out the door.

There was a cab that would drive us to the first interview waiting outside. From there we would walk from place to place since they weren't all to far apart.

"So I'll just wait out here while you guys go in there?" I asked confused since this interview isn't for me.

"Actually he asked us if you would like to join?" Luke mentioned.

"But this interview is about you guys so why would I go with?"

"Because we both love you and want all our fans to know who you really are so you'll stop getting hate." Calum piped up from beside me.

Wait. Did he just say he loves me? There's no way he actually meant it in that way.

"Fine." I just gave in, deciding to ignore his previous comment.

(This is just some random made up interview)

After we entered the room and took our seats, the talk show guy gave us all these big headphones. I was sat on the right of Luke with Calum on the left of Luke. Our host was in front of us introducing us onto the show.

"Hi!" Luke and I said at the same time with Calum saying, "hello."

"Alright guys so let's jump right into things! Mady, everyone is claiming you to be Calum's girlfriend, but neither of you have deemed it true. So," he looked back and forth between Cal and I, "is it true?"

"Well we-" I was about to say we aren't official before Calum decided to interrupt me.

"Yes, we are." His words left me in shock.

I looked over at him but he stared ahead at the host. Luke's face showed he was shocked as well. Why would he say we are when he's never asked me officially?

The rest of the interview I talked the least possible. Granted we were here for him to talk with the boys and not me. We discussed why Luke came back but their manager didn't like the actual reason, so they now tell everyone a flat out lie.

The end of the interview was much like the beginning. Attention was drawn towards me to conclude rumors. Except this one was a lot easier to explain.

"Before we end the show, I have one more thing to ask Luke and Mady. Fans have tons of questions about your guys relationship. You guys look extremely similar so one theory is you're related. And you seem to be really close so another theory is attached to your relationship with Calum, that you two are secretly doing things behind his back which is why Arzaylea left tour."

What the actual fuck? That second one is actually pretty hilarious considering the first theory was true.

"We are siblings, twins to be exact." Luke told him.

"So how come Mady doesn't have an Australian accent like you do?"

"Our parents split before we were old enough to remember anything, and our father took me with him to America. So I grew up in California where my grandparents and everyone around us had an American accent."

"Well that makes so much more sense!" Damn this guy is so cheery for eight in the morning. "That's all we have time for today but thanks guys for coming in and talking to me. It was great to see you guys again and to meet you Mady."

"Thanks for having us." Calum spoke for the three of us.

The rest of the interviews throughout the day went pretty much the same. They talked about why they're back in Australia. The host would bring up Cal and I, and it would result in him claiming we are dating. Then Luke and I would say that we are twins and yada yada yada.

The car ride back was extremely awkward. Well for me anyways. Since I'm the smallest I sat in the middle, keep in mind I've got a bone to pick with Calum. He looked out the window the whole time making no effort to even speak to me. Luke was on his phone so I was left to stare ahead of me, bored out of my mind.

When we got back to our house only Luke and I got out. I was expecting Calum to as well, but he stayed put.

"You coming mate?" Luke bent down to look at Calum.

"No, I'm going to go home. I'm a bit tired."

"Okay. Text me or something, yeah?"

"Yeah." Then Luke closed the door.

We got inside and I headed straight for my room. Luke went to the kitchen, probably to get food. I was really confused by Calum's actions today.

First he tells everyone we are dating, then he ignores me. Maybe I did something wrong? He could be mad at me for trying to say it wasn't true, but I wouldn't be lying.

Cal😻
I'm sorry for whatever
I did for you to ignore me..
Delivered

I never got a response back that night.
