The Garage Band
What happens when you fall for the drummer?
Lylla is Luke Hemmings sister. They started a band with their best friends, Mikey and Calum, and are desperately needing a drummer. Luke has a no-go zone between any of the other band mates...

To be honest as soon as the drinks start to flow, they continue flowing until every step I take I stumble.
Mikey and Luke are standing talking-distance away from me chatting to some other over-tipsy girls. I can't see Calum anymore which should be concerning, the rational part of my brain reminds me.
Ash is standing a few metres away from me at all times, eyeing me. He is currently talking to some guy, a drink in his hand. I briefly think that it's a bad idea for him to be drinking, though I can't recall why. Hell, if he's having a good time who cares?
I feel the need to dance and voice my opnion on the matter. "Ashton?" I direct my way towards him, clumsily, tripping as I reach him. Before I fall he grasps my forearms, steadying me. "Thanks." I smile up at him lazily, like it takes all my energy for that one facial movement. "Dance with me?" I give him a puppy-dog-eyed pout, the look I give Mike when I want him to drive me somewhere. It must have come out slightly wrong though, because instead of granting my wishes he gave me a concerned look.
"Lylla, how much have you had to drink?" he asks, still holding me steady, searching my eyes for clues. "Enough, for now." I decide right the. "Dance with me...please?" I whine, hoping he'll give in. "Okay, ahhh... thankyou, I'll be sure to call." he directs to teh man he was talking to. As I drag Ash's hand along with me, he finishes his drink and places it on the bar.
I move us toward the middle of the club floor and begin to move with the people around me. Way-past caring about what must look like.
I run my hands through my hair and shake it out, teasing Ash with a little spin. Ashton stands there awkwardly before giving in and going along with my weirdness. Pretty soon we were both moving with everyone else.

With Ash's hands on my waist, I move freely. Ash's smirk making me more and more carefree about what I'm doing. I comb my fingers through my hair, tilting my head back and relishing in the adrenaline I'm feeling.
Ash's hands leave my waist and he hold both my hands entertwining our fingers and pulling me closer, and closer. Suprising me when he kisses me fiercely. I react as soon as I'm stable, removing my fingers from his and up to his hair to tug on it.
Our tongues swordfight. The music still making us move. When we reluctantly pull away for air, Ashton smirks at me. I grin back, rasing one eyebrow ar his recklessness, it was so unlike him and I loved it.
I was slightly more sober now from the adrenaline overtakng the alcohol in my veins. My heartbeat was pounding in my ears. I glanced around me at the crowd circling us, seeing the top of a familiar raven-haired boy trying to move to the music while searching for his friends. Ash follows my gaze and his eyes widen, we were so close to being caught.
We share a secret smirk before Ashton raises his hand and calls Calum's name a couple of times.
Cal, Ash and I danced for a while before we were joined by a disheveled Luke and Mikey. We continued to dance for a good half-hour before Mikey said, "Right guys, I've had enough of this place. Let's begin phase two of mission 'Double L'."
Calum, Ash and Mikey sharing nods and grins. Luke and I just looked at each other disbelievingly before Luke mouthed "Phase two?"
