Chapter 12- Mistake one

Amelia's POV

"I wasn't expecting Lorna to go all out."

"I'm just surprised she let my family in." Ashton answered as we both glanced at his family and Zak. The boys were in a suit just like Ashton. Their hair well presented thanks to me. Lauren and Anne also looked amazing... but maybe that was because we went to a hair dressers with Sierra and Crystal.

Anne was currently lecturing Harry and Zak on the 'rules' she was putting in place. One alcoholic drink, no messing around when its time to leave but most importantly being polite to the other guests.

"Have I ever let you down mom?" Harry asked as Anne folded her arms and gave him the look that apparently still scared Ashton. "Do not answer that cause I never have! Now come on Zak lets go feast!" Harry shouted before grabbing Zak's arm and dragging him away. Anne just sighed before shaking her head. She then wandered off with Lauren.

"Champagne?" Ashton asked after taking a glass from a waiter. I grinned at him before taking the glass from him. I barely took a sip before I heard squealing and saw Sierra and Crystal walking towards us. Luke, Calum and Michael followed shortly behind.

"I knew that dress would look good on you!" Crystal said with a grin. I felt a blush creep up my face as Sierra grabbed two champagne glasses from a waitress and handed one to Crystal.

"I bet Ashton has been undressing you with his eyes... I mean he probably got the real things burned into his eyes." Sierra blurted out as I felt my face go redder. I was slowly starting to regret slipping a few things out at the hairdressers. I was just thankful that Ashton's mum was busy getting her hair done to hear.

"Ignore her. She had a couple of glasses while waiting for the others." Luke explained as I just nodded my head while looking away. Sierra just giggled while I glanced around. 

"Have you seen your friends yet? Or your brother?" Calum asked as I shook my head. Their flight landed earlier so they should have been here. But knowing them they are either still asleep, late or-

"Stop standing on my foot!"

"Then don't walk so close!"

I sighed loudly before turning around. Zeke and Lucy were bickering which wasn't that surprising. George was trying to keep them separated while Cole was laughing at them. Calum immediately made his way towards them as I stood next to Ashton before finishing my glass of champagne. I then took another two glasses off a tray.

"We haven't even been here half a hour and your three drinks in?"

"Technically two drinks." I pointed out before downing the first glass. I then smiled at Ashton. "Plus I handle my drinks very well!"

"You kissed a stranger in a alleyway."

"You got handsy with me don't forget!" I shouted louder than I wanted as Ashton chuckled at me. He then took the third glass and handed it to Michael.

"Lets put a brake in the drinking... lets get you some water."

"I... don't need water!" I dramatically pointed out. "I need this night to be over with because I don't wanna see my shitty ex!"

"Would you like a glass of water?" Ashton asked with a smirk. I then pouted before nodding my head. He then grabbed my hand and lead me away from our friends to the open bar. 

"Have I ever told you how hot you look in a suit?" I asked as my eyes trailed down to his ass. 

"No but I expect to hear a lot of comments about it before the night ends."

"You have a great ass." I blurted out as Ashton squeezed my hand tighter. I then smirked knowing my comment affected him. Maybe I did need water?

"Hey! Can I have a glass of coke and can she have a glass of water?" Ashton asked the bartender. He nodded his head before turning around.  I tapped my fingers against the bar mainly to stop myself from blurting something out I shouldn't say.

The bartender placed our drinks in front of us and I immediately took a sip. Ashton then took my water from me as I pouted.

"Why? You wanted me to drink water and then you take it from me?"

"Because you just guzzled a pint of water without taking a breath!" Ashton explained before showing me the now empty glass. I stared at him blankly before looking back at the glass.

"Oh..." I mumbled as Ashton just chuckled at me before quickly finishing his drink. My hand traced against his as we stood by the bar. I knew he was smiling as he held my hand.

"Maybe its the champagne talking Ashton... but I need you." I mumbled as Ashton stared at me in disbelief. 

"Are you being serious? At a charity event?" He asked to be sure. I smiled at him before whispering into his ear.

"Positive." 

He blinked his eyes at me as I grabbed his hand and led him away from the bar. I glanced at our friends talking and laughing before dragging Ashton away from the main hall.

"Everyday I learn something new about you that makes you look so much hotter." Ashton pointed out as I led him down a hall. I then opened a closet door and pulled him inside before closing and locking the door.

"I better give you a good show then."

"You don't even try." Ashton answered before kissing me on the lips. I wrapped my arms around him before deepening the kiss.  My fingers tangled into his hair as moaned into the kiss. I fiddled with belt buckle before unzipping his trousers and then pushing them down. He then pulled away before kissing my neck.

Michael's POV

"Why the fuck am I stuck with you two? I should be going over the speech instead of looking for your bandmate!" 

"Edward listen to me! Your sister Louise needs Ashton for our show. No one has seen Amelia and him in a hour!" I explained as Calum nodded his head in agreement. We all had to go and search for them. Louise, Lucy, Sierra and Crystal went off one way. Luke, Cole, George and Zeke went another way. That left Calum, Edward and Me to check the other... other way.

"For the tenth time. My name is Ethan! My sister is called Lorna!" He shouted as we walked down a hallway.

"Are you sure? I thought he was called Eggbert and she was called Lisa?" Calum asked as I stared at him blankly. I then looked at Ethan.

"Is your name Eggbert?"

Ethan groaned loudly before storming off further ahead. I looked at Calum as we both snickered. We were clearly fucking with him. It was the right thing to do after learning he was Amelia's ex.

We both then went quiet as Ethan turned to us.

"Who the fuck names their child Eggbert?"

"Rich people." Calum and Me answered in unison. We both high-fived each other after Ethan turned back around. He was clearly annoyed by our childish attitude but I didn't really see what he meant. I pulled out my phone to check the group chat. I wanted to see if Amelia or Ashton had responded. They hadn't but maybe they were just extremely busy.

"-Oh god!"

I froze after hearing that muffled voice. I then glanced around. I knew that voice.  It was Amelia. There was also only one door close by. The one I was standing in front of... the janitors closet. I then did the most sensible thing in the whole wide world. I pressed my ear against the door.

"-Fuck! Amelia!"

"What are you doing Michael?" Calum asked as I shushed him. He gave me a confused look. "No seriously what the fuck are you doing?"

I covered his mouth with my hand. I then motioned for him to be quiet.

"They are in there." I mouthed as Calum looked at me even more confused.

"The hare is in the stair? What drugs did you take?" Calum whispered as I glared at him. I didn't take any drugs. Maybe he was on drugs? I slapped my hands onto Calum's face and checked to see. "Dude... are you on drugs?"

"No cause clearly you are if you don't understand-"

"-Ashton... keep going!"

I stared at Calum as he stared at me. He clearly understood what I meant now. We both moved away from the door. 

"Are they-" Calum asked as I nodded. We both then grinned at one another. We were gonna torture Ashton! We weren't going to torture Amelia. That would be mean... but Ashton on the other hand.

"What are you two doing?" Ethan asked with his arms folded. He stared at us.

"Nothing!" We both replied but for some reason he didn't believe us. Ethan walked towards us while glaring. Did he really think we were hiding something? I glanced at Calum and sighed. We did look really shady.

"I need you to tell me whatever your hiding... now!" Ethan warned as Calum and Me looked at each other. Were we really going to expose Ashton and Amelia like this? That would make us shitty friends. 

Two very loud moans interrupted my thoughts. Calum and Me stared at Ethan as he stared back. It would be lying to say this wasn't awkward. Amelia's ex and Ashton's best friends were standing outside a closet where Amelia and Ashton we-

"What are you doing?" Calum asked as Ethan turned around. He then pulled out a key. I gasped out loud as I realised what he was going to do.

"You really shouldn't do that... what if they are fully naked?"

Ethan ignored me as he shoved the key into the lock. I then looked at Calum nervously who looked at me nervously. He turned the key and opened the door. 

"There are better places to hook up than on the closet floor... and better guys!"

The door swung shut in his face. Ashton and Amelia mumbled... quite loudly under their breaths as they tried to get dressed again. We then waited for them to come out.

"I swear to god if you two say a word of this to anyone!" Ashton grumbled while tucking in his shirt. Calum and Me looked at each other before glancing at Amelia. She was struggling to zip her dress up and thankfully Ashton helped her. Calum and Me looked at each other again and knew we had to for Amelia's sake.

"Oh don't worry maybe my sister can do damage control before someone lets slip about you two hooking up! Did you seriously not think about how this could blow back against the foundation?"

"Does it seriously matter? The foundation knows were not together!" Amelia grumbled as Calum and Me took a step back. Ethan looked annoyed but Amelia... looked like she would murder someone.

"Its about my image for god sake! My ex hooking up with the first guy she meets? Do you not understand?"

In the few weeks I have known Amelia. I have never heard her shout or get really angry. But there was a first time for everything it seemed.

"Fuck your image!" Amelia snapped as Ashton and Calum stared at her in shock. Ethan was trying to look angry but looked more shocked. But I was was grinning. I was grinning because Ethan deserves it.

"What did you just sa-"

"Fuck! Your! Image!" She repeated as my grin grew bigger. "Your a fucking hypocrite Ethan! You complain about me jumping on the first guy I meet and yet we are actually been through for weeks if you have forgotten!"

"Should we stop her?" Calum whispered as I shook my head. 

"Do I also have to remind you when I caught you cheating on me some blonde bitch?"

"That was different Ame-"

"How was it fucking different? I might have jumped at the first guy I saw but at least he treats me like a person and cares!" Amelia shouted stepping closer to Ethan. "He checked up on me when his crazed fans found where I lived! He actually fucking texts me cute messages instead of the one word responses I get from you!"

Ethan stood their in silence unable to speak as Amelia breathed heavily. It must have felt amazing to her to let it all out. All the complaints she ha-

"He gives me a fucking orgasm for fuck sake!" 

Calum and Me looked at each other before quietly chuckling. I then looked at Ashton and he was red in the face.  It seriously couldn't get better than this. 

"There you lot are!" 

I turned my head and groaned when I saw Luke at the end of the hall. It couldn't get better. It could get ruined. 

"We need to get or mics on and get on stage!"

I groaned louder as Calum chuckled before pushing me forward towards Luke. I then glanced behind me and saw him dragging Ashton.

"I need to fix my shoes... I'll be in the crowd before you start!"

Amelia's POV

Trigger warning: Abuse

I glanced at Ethan while getting my shoes back on. He had been silent since my freak out a few minutes ago. A part of me regretted what I said.

Why did I listen to that part?

I reached for his shoulder to shake him. I wanted to know if he was ok. 

"Ethan... are you o-" 

He flinched and shoved me into the wall. I hit the wall with a thud as I looked at Ethan. Fear started to build up in me as he grabbed my wrist. His grip tightening causing me to scream in pain. 

"E-Ethan sto-"

Slap

I covered my cheek as I looked up at him. Tears threatening to spill before he placed his hand on my neck and pinned me to the wall. I stayed quiet mainly trying not to sound scared.

But I was. I was fucking terrified.

"What happened Amelia? What happened to the tough bitch that stood her ground?" He whispered with a grin. His grip on my neck tightening as I try to scratch his hand. My visioning darkening. My breathing getting shallower and shallower. 

"I-I'm sorry Ethan!" I choked out as the tears fell. The grin on his face grew as he loosened his grip. A rush of air flowed through me as I felt to the floor a moment later. I coughed and sobbed before looking up at him.

I shouldn't have done that.

Ethan then grabbed my hair and yanked it hard. I winced in pain as he tugged harder. This time dragged me along the floor. I screamed as Ethan dragged me into the closet. I screamed louder and louder. But the music was too loud. No one could hear me.

Ashton couldn't hear me.
