Chapter Forty Six

Chapter Forty Six

As the picture slowly focuses, I have no words. Like I said, before all this happened, I used to fan girl about bands with other girls. One of those bands was 5 Seconds of Summer, so them being in front of me is a huge deal. 

And for some reason, it seems like it must be a big deal for them too because they don't say anything for a while, they just stare at me, making me move closer to Ashton as their eyes stare straight at me.

Ashtons' arm wraps around my waist before he pulls me back to lean against the head board with him. The boys are still staring at me so I bury my face in Ashtons' chest, trying to shake off the feeling of their stares.

"So, you're the girl the made Ashton cry," Calum says.

I slightly move my head so I can see the screen but I keep my head against Ashtons' chest. The boys are still staring at me but their eyes and faces have softened a little bit. I continue to stare straight at them, not shying away this time.

"You shy babe?" Luke asks, a small smile playing on his lips.

"She just doesn't talk much is all," Ash says.

"Why not? A pretty girl like you shouldn't be scared to talk to people," Michael questions.

I feel my cheeks heat up a little bit at his comment but I still reply, my voice quiet, "That's not why I don't talk."

"She talks! Praise the Lord!" Calum yells while looking up to the sky.

A small giggle escapes my lips and I can't help but notice the grin on Ashtons' face at the sound. I can see him looking down at me with a big smile on his face on the laptop screen. I know I wasn't meant to see it but I can't help but keep staring at him and how happy he looks.

"So, what's your name babe?" Luke Calum asks me.

"Milly."

"Milly. Beautiful name. So, how can we help you this fine morning Milly?" Luke says.

"Oh...uh," I stutter, trying to form the words to ask them.

I watch as Ashtons' hand goes over to the laptop before he presses a button so the boys can't hear what we're saying. He holds on finger up towards the screen, signalling that we won't be a minute.

"Baby girl, what's wrong?"

"I don't know. Like I said earlier, I just don't like talking so being put on the spot like that is hard for me. And besides, it's hard to talk to your favourite band without freaking out somewhat."

"But you can talk to me," he says, confusion sounding in his voice.

"Yeah I know, but I still don't talk much, even to you."

"But you don't get all nervous when speaking to me. Why is that?"

"I guess it's the fact that you're not Ashton Irwin to me anymore. You're Ashton, the boy who I sent messages to, thinking he would never see them. You're Ashton, the boy who got on a plane and flew out here because he thought I was going to commit suicide. You're different to me Ash," I say while looking up at him.

I can see his hazel eyes as they gloss over, the tears threatening to spill. I watch as a smile finds its way onto his face, his eyes lighting up even though there are tears ready to roll down his cheeks.

"I'm glad. I'm glad that I'm not Ashton Irwin to you anymore baby girl," he mumbles before pressing his lips against my forehead and leaving them there for a few moments.

My eyes flutter shut as his lips stay against my forehead. This is nice. This is something that, for some reason, momentarily fills that piece of me that is missing. It's like that part of me was never gone. I don't know why, but I don't care because it's the best feeling I've had in a long time.

A phone ringing breaks the silence, startling both me and Ashton. Ashton looks over towards his phone that is sitting on the bedside table. He picks it up and presses the red button before looking over at the laptop.

"Be prepared, the boys are probably going to tease the hell out of us okay?" Ashton says while placing his arm back around my waist and pulling me towards him. I nod before he presses the button on the laptop.

"'Bout time. I was thinking you had forgotten about us," Michael says with a smirk on his face.

"I think they did forget about us. The only reason we are talking to them is because we rang Ash," Luke snickers.

"Leave us alone man," Ashton says seriously, making the guys stop their snickering and look at us.

"So, uh, Milly. What did you want to ask us?"

"Uh... well. I ask Ash if he would sing for me and he said that maybe you guys would, um, maybe join in..." I trail off, my voice quiet.

"Do you even have to ask that? Of course we'll sing for you. What song?" Calum says while smiling at me.

"Oh, it doesn't really bother me," I mumble.

"Come on, you have to have a favourite song!"

"Amnesia."

"Amnesia?" Luke asks and I nod, "We can do that. I have to go get my guitar first."

"Wait," Ash finally speaks up.

"What's up mate?" Michael asks him.

"Milly can play the guitar for us," he says while looking down at me.

My eyes widen at his suggestion, my heart beating louder in my chest. I can't play the guitar in front of them. What if I stuff up? What if I'm really bad at it? It would kill me even more to make a fool of myself in front of these boys.

"You can play the guitar?" Luke asks me and I nod again.

"It's actually the guitar that we signed and gave away," Ash replies.

"It is?" Michael says, shock clear in his voice and on his face.

"Yeah, it is."

"Well, can you play for us? Please?" Calum pleads.

"I don't know..." I trail off.

"It doesn't matter if you stuff up Milly. Just try. We all make mistakes and it's our song so it's okay for someone else to stuff it up," Ash whisper in my ear.

I look up at him and we lock eyes. His hazel eyes are sparkling, a small smile on his lips. His face is showing expectation but also understanding. He understands why I wouldn't want to but I really wants me too.

"Okay, I'll play for you," I mumble as I reach over Ash and grab my guitar off the stand, placing it on my lap.

Well, here goes nothing.

Wish me luck.
