Calum's POV

As I paced around the house waiting for Ashton to arrive, Mali slid past me to the front door. My head snapped to her direction.

"Where are you going?" I questioned. She paused and looked as if she was racking her brain for a lie. Probably she was.

"Out..." Well that wasn't a lie.

"Where out? Be specific!"

"Well, for your information, mister overprotective buzzkill of a little brother, I have a date!" She turned away and slammed the door in her wake.

"Mali-Koa Hood, you get back in here right now!" I marched after her, but she ran to her car and sped off, leaving me in the dust. I groaned and ran my hands through my hair and kicked the wall of the garage. But I grabbed my foot in pain and let out strings and strings of curse words and toppled over onto the garbage bins. I let out more foul language and I heard a mother who was passing by tell her children to cover their ears. I then heard another sound. It was a...push bike. Little Irwin decided to come, I guess.

"Calum, what are you doing?" Ashton asked. He parked hid bike and ran over to me, his curly brown hair boo undoing as he jogged. He squatted near me and grinned.

"I tried keeping my sister in the house with no such luck, I got mad and kicked the wall that is hard brick, and I think I broke my foot!" I let out more colorful language and Ashton cringed before slapping me, he took my chin and turned it towards him so I could see in his eyes.

"Don't swear." I hit his hand and got up.

"Whatever, I'm punk rock, so I do what I want!" I limped inside while Ashton trailed behind.

"Why did you need to see me again?"

"It has come to my attention Michael's birthday is coming up and we have to celebrate his 19th birthday," Ashton nodded at me to carry on. "And I think we should throw him a party."

"A party? Yeah, right, Calum. You know how great Ashton Fletcher a Irwin is at parties."

"Ash, you're not that bad," I tried defending.

"Yeah? Well then why did, at the last party I went to, the building caught fire because I tried lighting a candle! I ruined the poor girl's birthday! Lauren hasn't spoken to me for a while!"

"Who cares about your stupid sister?!" I ignored Ashton's glare. "Let's focus on Michael here! 19; that's the big number. What theme of a party would Michael like?"

"He likes music, dying his hair, piercings, tattoos, girls, being punk rock-"

"ARIANA GRANDE!" I shouted all of the sudden.

"What about her?" Ashton asked.

"Don't you see, you curly haired freak, Michael is in love with her! If we can get her at his party, he'll love us forever and who knows, maybe get us better presents for our birthdays," I grinned triumphantly at my amazing idea.

"I actually like the 5 gum he gets us..."

"Well, you said your always wanted to be a drummer maybe you can get a drum set!" His eyes widened. He grabbed my hand and shook it hard.

"Where do I sign up?"
