Sarah's POV~
The boys stared at me intently as I took a bite into my burger.
"How is it?" Michael asked. I laughed.
"I've tasted McDonald's before guys." I replied.
"We can tell, but we want to know if it's edible." Luke explained.
"Why would you care? You guys eat everything." I said before gasping and dropping my burger instantly.
"Not edible, not edible!" I exclaimed as I held my stomach with one hand and my mouth with the other.
The boys, who were about to take bites out of their burgers, dropped them instantly. I grabbed my soda and gulped it all down, washing away the taste of the burger.
"Oh good lord! That was horrid." I gasped as I put my forehead against the table.
"Ours were fine." Chase said from the booth next to us.
"Wait, were there any pickles in the burger? They make her nauseous." Alison asks the boys and they reached over to my burger and opened it. Only to reveal the horrid smell of pickles. I groaned.
"Yes." The boys unisoned before laughing.
"Then take it away before she passes out!" Maddie yelled when the boys don't make a single move.
"Oh!" Luke exclaims before pulling it out and putting the burger back in front of me. Instantly I perked up, picked up the burger, and took another bite out of it.
"Well, I guess they are edible, but we should get going." Luke sighed before putting all of our food into our wrappers and back into the bag.
"I wasn't done!" I whined and he laughed.
"You can eat it in the van, come on." He replied before walking out while Ashton pushed me, following him. Michael and Calum lag behind, complaining about the loss of food.
Boys... I thought.
Minor Time Skip~
Luke's POV~
"Yes Stella, I understand the circumstances of bringing her on tour, but she has no where else to go! And she's far from home." I sighed once again.
Why can't she see that I want to bring Sarah along? I haven't seen her in 13 years, have mercy!
"The fans already know of her, we put it on Twitter and had a video chat with everyone." I try to persuade her.
"Alright, but if she is staying with you, the fans have to know about her for sure. And I have an idea for that." I can almost see the smirk forming on her face as she rattles off her plan.
"I don't think taking her on stage is a good idea Stella, she almost had a panic attack near 100 people! Imagine thousands!" I sighed, again.
"She's been on stage before, hasn't she." Stella replied knowingly. I can't argue with her there, it is true.
"And she has to sing with you." She adds.
"Now that's just going too far. She can't even stand!" I exclaimed, starting to get angry.
"Sorry Luke, it's either she goes on with you guys and sings, or she goes back to the streets." I clenched my jaw in anger as she hung up the phone on me.
The bitc-
"Hey Luke, who was that?" Sarah asked as she rolled up to me.
Might as well get this over with.
I pulled my eyebrows together in worry as I retold Stella's plan to her.
"Okay." She replied flatly.
"Okay?" I repeated.
"Yeah, okay. I can't exactly do anything about it, but I don't really mind. Plus, to be onstage? With a popular band, that also has my brother in it? It's pretty wicked." She explains.
"I guess so, yeah. I'll go tell the guys." I reply, smiling.
"Can I come with you?" She asks.
"Sure, come on." I wave her over as I start walking out of the door.
Minor Time Skip~
"So yeah guys, what do you think?" I asked Michael, Calum, and Ashton when I finished repeating Stella's plan.
Again.
"I think it's pretty cool." Calum replied.
"Wait. Then who's part will she sing?" Ashton brought up before we all fell into silence.
"Luke's, obviously." Michael replied after a few moments.
"We don't know exactly how high or low she can sing, you know." Calum said.
"Can't we just go to the studio and try it out?" Ashton suggested. I looked over at Sarah, who had a amused look on her face.
"Or, I can just tell you." She laughed and everyone's eyes instantly shot to her.
"Tell us then, come on." Ashton urged.
"I can sing as low as a bass one, and as high as a first suprano." She replied.
"W-what?" Calum asked confused.
"I can sing really low, and really high." She explained.
"Ooooooooooh." We said in unison.
"Smart asses..." I heard her mumble.
"Language!" I yelled.
"Sorry..." She mumbled again.

Major Time Skip: Concert in L.A. (3 weeks later)
Sarah's POV~
I waited in the right wing of the stage patiently for Luke to introduce me to the crowd while I clutched onto my mic tightly.
"So I know all of you know about my sister, right?" Luke asked the crowd and they all screamed in response.
"I'll take that as a yes." He mumbled but I heard.
"So she's here now, you wanna meet her?" He asked and everyone screamed louder. I sighed before walking onto the stage and was answered with a loud roar from the crowd.
I let out an involuntary giggle before smiling and waving at the crowd once I reached Luke. It's only now that I notice that I'm almost as tall as him.
"Hello everyone." I said into the mic.
"A shy one, she is." I heard Ashton say into another mic from behind me.
"Says the one who didn't actually try to talk to me until a week ago." I replied, amused when I saw Ashton fake hurt.
"Buuuuuuuurn." Michael said from my right and I laughed.
"Alright, alright. I think that's enough." Calum mothered.
"Any whoooo, Sarah will be singing, yes singing, with me over here. No, she is not joining the band, guys only." Luke smiled widely.
"She's just singing with us because management was being a bi-"
"BUNNY!" I yelled, drowning out Luke's voice. He looked at with a confused glance.
"There are children present in the crowd, Hemmings!" I scolded, with the mic still up to my mouth.
"WHY DON'T WE START THE CONCERT!" Michael yelled into the mic and we all laughed.
"Okay, this song is Mrs All American." Luke said into the mic before the music started.
Calum started singing.
I love that accent you have when you say hello
You relocated from New York a month ago
That minivan that you drive really gets me going
And if it feels like it's right
Then it can't be wrong
Then Luke and I started singing.
No one understands the chemistry we have
And it came out of nowhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's not like we planned this, it's getting out of hand
And now we're gonna go there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Then we all started singing.
Walk my way
Mrs All American
Say my name
No need to pretend
Don't be shy
Mrs All American
I'll show you why
You're not gonna walk away
Yeah
Mikey started singing the next part.
Not just a neighbour
Oh hey there I'll ring your bell
Open your door, pucker up
And I'll kiss you well
My lips are sealed
There's nobody that I would tell
Your secret's mine, close your eyes
And I'll make you melt
Calum continued with his part.
No one understands the chemistry we have
And it came out of nowhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's not like we planned this, it's getting out of hand
And now we're gonna go there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Then we all merged together again.
Walk my way
Mrs All American
Say my name
No need to pretend
Don't be shy
Mrs All American
I'll show you why
You're not gonna walk away
Oh yeah
Calum, Luke, and I sung.
Nananananananana
You know what she like
Nananananananana
You know what she like
Nananananananana
Ah you know what she like
Nanananananana
Then we all...
Walk my way
Mrs All American
Say my name
No need to pretend
Don't be shy
Mrs All American
I'll show you why
You're not gonna walk away
We continued.
(Walk my way)
Oh yeah
(Say my name)
You're not gonna walk away
(Don't be shy)
(I'll show you why)
You're not gonna walk away
People cheered as the last cords of the song cut off.
Minor Time Skip: After concert
"Ugh, how do you do it!" I said as I plumped down onto the dressing room couch.
"You get used to it, I guess." Luke replied as he leaned against the door frame.
"Where are the guys?" I asked as I looked at him.
"Backstage meeting the fans." Luke replied.
"Okay." I yawned.
"Did you notice earlier when I almost fell off the stage?" He said after a few seconds of silence.
"Yeah, I did." I replied.
"Do you know why?" He asked.
"Because you tripped over a chord." I replied.
"No, actually, when I saw you singing with me, I remembered something of yo- our past." He explained.
"What was it then?" I asked, interested.
"I remembered how you always wanted to be a singer when you grew up. In a band. You had the same exact dream as I did, and we had agreed to do it together. We would put on these shows for our parents, and we would be good. Fantastic even. You and I would sing together, both of us playing our guitars. It was a good memory, how we always wanted to be together.
We would play our guitars in sync, like pros, and just rock our parents out of their socks. We were a team. But then, I left you in L.A. and I forgot about you. Forgot about how we shared the same dream. And my dream came true, I became famous with the guys, while you were homeless, still holding onto that dream. And I feel horrible how I completely forgot you, and our dream."
"Luke..." I trailed off.
"Sarah, we had the same dream, and planned to do it together, but I forgot about you." By now he was completely in tears.
"Luke, Its ok. I'm glad you're living your dream, full out. Mine, that's all it is, a dream, but yours, it's a career for you now. Don't waste it. Come on, let's go see your fans." I said as I stood up and walked over to him.
He nodded lightly as he slung an arm over my shoulder and led me backstage, and I, wiping his tears before we reached his fans.
When one fan saw us, the rest of them did, creating a whole mass of talking girls to turn simultaneously.
"There they are!" Ashton shouted from the front of the crowd, waving us over.
A few girls came up to me, asking questions one after the other.
"Can you play guitar?"
"When did you learn how to sing?"
"Why do you walk funny?"
"Why are you so pretty?"
"Are you and Luke twins?"
"Were you forced to sing onstage tonight?"
"Are your breasts fake?"
"Are you a virgin?"
Well, that last question was a bit private.
I pause as I ponder of the questions' answers.
"Um yes, I knew naturally, an accident, I don't know, no, no, no, aaaaand yes." I answered finally.
"Are you ever thinking of making or joining a band?"
"Of course not. Strictly dream-only." I replied.
"But you'd be so good!"
"Well, dreams can't always come true. I can't raise my hopes, only to fall when my dream doesn't work out." I shrugged. The girls near me that had heard whipped out their phones, typing something in, before putting them away again.
I heard Luke's phone go off and he pulled it out to check what it was.
A tweet.
I looked up and saw Ashton, Michael, and Calum checking their phones as well. I looked back down at Luke's phone screen and my eyes widened at what I saw.
20 tweets, about me.

Well help you get there! #ConstantConstanceForever @Ashton5SOS @Luke5SOS @Calum5SOS @Michael5SOS
The tweets went on and on until they got to the last one.
But that's the thing.
The tweets didn't stop.
They just kept coming and coming, and I just standing there, wondering what I had just started.
"What in the world have I done." I muttered as I looked at the tweets, as now most of them hastagged ConstantConstanceForever.
"I think you just started a trend!" Michael exclaimed as he neared Luke and I.
"But I..." I trailed off, not knowing what to say.
"And what's all of this stuff about your 'dream'?" Calum asked as he reached us. I looked away, blushing.
"Oh, she and I had the same dream, and we wanted to do it together, until... yeah, then my dream came true with you guys, and hers didn't." Luke explained, not going into full detail.
"So, you both wanted to be in a band... together, when you were little." Ashton sums up and I nod.
"But, if you can't really play an instrument, all you could do in a band is be lead singer." Michael said.
"Well... actually... I can play guitar." I replied.
"Really?!? Then play for our fans! Right now! Show them how great you are!" Calum and Michael unison, pushing me towards the front as I protested.
"No wait! I'm a little rusty! I not want to do this! Come on............ and now I'm at the front." I sighed. "I don't have a guitar, nor do I know what song to do!" I exclaimed and Calum's so close, but yet so far away face. I could see the word D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R spelled out in the air when the girls whipped out their phones, going into YouTube mode.
"Do one of our songs, since we only have an electric guitar available. One that we didn't play today. I'll backup with bass, but that's it." Calum shouted as he threw me a guitar. I caught it with ease.
"Do I have to sing too?" I asked dejectedly.
"Good idea! Yes!" Calum replied and I hung my head low.
"But the only other song I know is Kiss Me Kiss Me, and... oh you sneaky bastard." I realize, to only have Calum smile cheekily at me.
I dug around in the pockets of my jeans until I found my guitar pic and pulled it out. I started to play.
I strummed through the song perfectly, the lyrics flowing out of my mouth easily.
So kiss me kiss me kiss me,
and tell me that I'll see you again...
I looked at each and every camera pointed my way, letting the viewers know that this is real.
My eyes moved again until they met with Ashton's, then Michael's, then Luke's.
Then all had the same expression. They all looked proud, amazed.
Everyone started clapping when the last cords of the song cut off.
"Can I be done now? I am totally not uncomfortable." I blushed and everyone laughed. I took that as my cue to go.
Gently, I set down the guitar before losing myself in the crowd.
Slowly, the size of this small crowd started to get to me.
Come on Sarah. Deep breaths. Calm. Down.
I sighed in relief when I saw Luke. I maneuvered myself over to him.
I put a hand on his shoulder when I reached him and he turned immediately.
"Hey, nice playing." He praised.
"Yeah, can we leave now?" I asked, trying to calm myself down.
"You ok?" Calum asked from beside me.
"Yeah, but this small group is starting to get to me." I replied. All four guys looked at me, worried.
"Come on, let's go home." Ashton said as he lead me to a door, the fans making way as the guys followed behind.
Small, but loud 'bye!'s were thrown my way as we walked out of the door.
Once we were outside and the door was closed, I leaned against the wall beside it, taking deep breaths.
I cannot believe I just started a Twitter trend.
I'm doomed.
