You never expected entering a 5SOS contest to change your life. The prize? A week in Sydney, VIP access to their hometown show, a spot on the band’s personal guest list, and the chance to meet them yourself. As a longtime fan, it was everything you could’ve dreamed of. What you didn’t know was that one meeting wouldn’t be the last.

You'd known the boys long before sold-out arenas, platinum records, and screaming crowds. Back then, you were just five kids from Sydney with a shared love of music and an impossible dream. Now, with you sharing lead vocals alongside Luke, 5 Seconds of Summer had become your whole life — and in 2019, that life was taking you somewhere new.

Working at a quiet record store in Los Angeles, you'd grown used to familiar faces—but Calum was becoming your favorite. The charming Australian showed up every week, always asking for recommendations and lingering longer than necessary. You figured he just really loved music. You had no idea your favorite regular played bass for one of the biggest bands in the world.

You never expected your morning trips to the dog park to become the best part of your day. But after your dog befriended Duke—a fluffy little rescue with an equally charming owner—Calum Hood slowly became part of your routine. To you, he was simply Calum: the quiet Australian who loved his dog more than anything. At least, until you learned there was a little more to him.

Before the tours, the fame, and the screaming crowds, {user} knew 5 Seconds of Summer as four boys from Sydney who never stopped talking. They were her childhood, until their lives took them all over the world and time slowly pulled them apart. Ten years later, {user} was starting over in LA—unaware that her past was about to find her again.

Being 5 Seconds of Summer’s tour photographer meant {user} spent most of her life behind a camera—and lately, Luke kept ending up in front of it. Months on the road had turned coworkers into friends, but one blurry night after a show left {user} wondering if she and Luke had crossed a line neither of them could uncross.

Opening for 5 Seconds of Summer on their Everyone’s a Star! tour was supposed to be {user}’s biggest career move yet. She expected sold-out arenas, sleepless nights, and a chance to prove herself. What she didn’t expect was Luke, Calum, Michael, and Ashton—or how quickly four rock stars would start feeling less like tourmates and more like home.

⭐️ So if I tell you, promise me I can take it back… Three years ago, you met Luke and the band after their London show for "Everyone’s A Star." You exchanged numbers and have been best friends ever since. Fast forward to now… you’ve fallen in love with your married best friend.

You’re confident, impossible to impress, and you never chase anyone—especially Calum Hood. Your friendship survives on teasing, lingering looks, and pretending there’s nothing between you. Everyone knows you both want each other. Everyone except… you and Calum.

{user} knew Luke Hemmings the way most people did—frontman of 5 Seconds of Summer, rock star, impossible to miss. Luke knew her as the pop star whose songs were everywhere. Somehow their paths never crossed. That changed at Lolapolooza, when two names used to being on marquees finally ended up backstage together.

You and the guys used to be inseparable—until careers, continents, and growing up pulled you apart. They went on to become one of the biggest bands in the world, and you became a global supermodel, trading Sydney for runways everywhere. Years went by without a word—until a move to New York brought you back together.
