Jared sat on the couch in his tour bus, scrolling through his rapidly updating Twitter account as an uncontrollable amount of tweets and notifications crashed his news feed.
Jared sighed. He wanted to respond to his fans but at this rate all the time in the world wouldn't get the job done. The door to the bus opened and none other than Ashton Irwin popped his head in.
"Hey!" Ashton said excitedly and Jared watched him carefully.
"Hey... Ashton." Jared said, noting how Ashton was deliberately keeping his body outside the bus.
"I got somethin' to show you!" Ashton said and he bounced on the spot.
"Okay," Jared said hesitantly and Ashton came bounding in to the bus and sat down beside Jared, his hands behind his back.
"Close your eyes!" Ashton exclaimed and Jared reluctantly closed his eyes. He set his phone down beside him and waited until Ashton deemed him ready to open his eyes.
"Okay, open em!"Ashton said and Jared opened his eyes to see Ashton holding a... Breadstick?
"Ashton?" Jared asked, staring at the snack in Ashton's hands.
"Yeah?" Ashton said, trembling with excitement.
"That's a breadstick..." Jared pointed out.
"I KNOW!" Ashton shouted excitedly, bouncing in his seat.
"What's so great about a breadstick?" Jared asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"What's so great about a breadstick? WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT A BREADSTICK?" Ashton squealed and Jared jumped.
"You just don't understand bread-ology, do you Jared?" Ashton finally asked after he calmed himself.
"Apparently not..." Jared muttered, eyeing Ashton wearily.
"The amount of things you can do with a breadstick... Geez Jared, don't you see the amount of opportunity this has opened up for us both?" Ashton asked seriously and Jared gulped.
"Uhh... No." Jared responded and Ashton screamed.
"YOU'RE SO BLIND!" Ashton screeched and Jared leaped back when he shot up from his seat. "YOU'LL SEE! YOU'LL ALL SEE!" Ashton continued to scream and he pointed around the bus at people who were not there. Jared began feeling scared.
Just then, the tour bus door flung open and Harry Styles entered the bus. He stopped and stared at Ashton, who was holding the breadstick in one hand and he pointed at Jared with the other.
"Bad time?" Harry asked and Jared gaped at him.
"Harry?!" Jared exclaimed and Harry smiled and winked at him.
"Yeah?"
"Ashton's gone mad..."
"How so?"
"He's screaming over a breadstick."
"You do know I'm still here?!" Ashton shouted and pointed the breadstick at Harry.
Harry stared at him, then he stared at the breadstick that was pointed at him. He swiftly took the breadstick out of Ashton's hand and took a bite of it, munching happily on the snack.
Ashton let out an ear splitting scream. He burst in to tears and dropped to his knees, sobbing on the floor.
Just then, Nial Horan walked in and spotted the breadstick Harry was holding. "Ooh! Breadstick! Mine!" He took the breadstick from Harry and popped it in to his mouth.
Ashton screeched again and Nial looked at him unfazed. "What's wrong with him?" He asked as he sat himself down beside a speechless Jared.
"You and Harry ate his breadstick." Jared responded.
"OH! Yeah he loves breadsticks, he thinks they're magic because they look like unicorn horns, I'll get you some more later okay Ashton?" Nial said and Ashton's head shot up.
"YES!" Ashton exclaimed and got up off the floor, grabbing Nial's arm and leaving the tour bus with Harry trailing behind.
As the door shut Jared stared at it in shock.
"What the hell just happened?" He asked the ceiling as he lay down on the sofa, wondering if what he just witnessed was real or not.
