Beside you [5SOS/Ashton Irwin]

Chapter 14- Prom and tours

A/n
This may seem confusing but Brooke had that dream before prom, so now is her REAL prom. The other one was in her dream.
*****Prom day*****
(A few days after Brooke's dream)
*****************
I walked to the cafeteria for lunch, and was greeted by Calum.
"Are you excited for the tour tonight?" He asked wrapping his arm around me.
"I'm just a bit nervous" I replied biting my lip. I hope what happened in my dream, doesn't happen tonight after prom.
"Yeah, me too!" He said. If only he knew my reason for being nervous...
Today was Friday, meaning it was pizza day. Luckily today I remembered to bring lunch. I brought my lunch box over to the table and started munching on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"You forgot your lunch again?" I asked Luke slightly chuckling.
"Yeah, can I have the other half of your sandwich?" He asked giving me the puppy eyes.
"Ugh, fine" I sighed and handed him the other half.
"Thanks" he said and started taking very small bites, savoring the only thing he was eating for lunch.
"Here, you can have these" I said to Luke, handing him my small bag of goldfish.
"Your not hungry?" Michael asked.
"No" I said shaking my head.
"Well that's a first" Calum said laughing. I punched him lightly on the arm, and he gasped.
"Ow! What did I do?"
"You called me fat!" I yelled punching him in the arm again.
"I did not! Luke, did I call her fat?" He asked.
"I believe you did not" Luke answered popping a goldfish in his mouth.
"Yes he did!" I started.
"He was all like 'that's a first' when I said I wasn't hungry!" I said in a manly voice while quoting Calum.
"Sorry" Calum mocked, throwing away his trash from lunch.
The bell rang, so I threw away my trash, which was barely anything since I gave Luke most of my food, and headed to class.
I walked into English class, and sat in the back. I got comfortable and tried to pay attention, but my eyelids got so heavy that I couldn't keep them open. I drifted off and had a flashback of last night.
***flashback/dream***
"I'm hungry" I whined, my stomach growling.
"Since when are you not?" Calum asked, a slight smirk on his face.
"Let's go to Walmart and raid their food aisle!" I said ignoring Calum's comment.
"Are you crazy?!" Michael asked throwing his arms in the air.
"Crazy for food" I said laughing. He just rolled his eyes and got up.
"Fine, but we have to be quick, their closing soon" he sighed.
"Yay!" I screamed grabbing my phone.
The five of us walked out to the car and headed to Walmart. When we got there, it was 10:47 meaning they were closing in thirteen minutes.
"We have to hurry!" I screamed dragging them into the store. Once we got to the food aisle, it was 10:50.
"Excuse me, we will be closing in 10 minutes" a lady said over the speakers.
"Shit! I have to go pee!" I screamed.
"Then go pee!" Luke said pushing me towards the bathroom.
I ran as fast as I could to the bathroom and out of the corner of my eye I saw a really cute guy.
"I'm guessing you have to go pee badly" he said chuckling.
"No, no! I- er-" I mumbled and went into the bathroom. I did my business as fast as I could and washed my hands.
"Attention, we will be closing in a couple minutes"
Shoot!
I ran over to the food aisle, and since I was running so fast, when I tried to turn I slid and fell. I got up and ran over to the aisle and grabbed everything that I wanted.
"LETS GO" I screeched and started running towards the cash register.
"Attention, we are now closing" the lady said over the speaker and in a few seconds, the lights started to go out.
"Shit!" I screamed.
"Nice going Brooke" Michael said. I couldn't see where I was going, so I ran into a shelf and fell backwards, tripping Luke. We fell with a thud and I quickly pushed Luke off of me.
"Sorry" I mumbled and got up from the ground. I grabbed my phone and used it as a light. I couldn't find Ashton so I called him. I heard his ringtone go off and started to head towards it.
"Ash?!" I yelled trying to find him. While I was looking to my right, I bumped into someone and we both crashed on the floor. I landed on top of Ashton.
"Oops, sorry" I mumbled, embarrassed of how clumsy I had been today. I started to get up, but he held me down.
"It's fine, I like it this way" he whispered.
"Miss Carter, why are you sleeping in my class?" The teacher asked, interrupting from my sleep.
"I uh- didn't get any sleep last night. Sorry it won't happen again" I said shifting in my seat. It was true, I didn't get any sleep last night since I got locked in Walmart. I looked over at Ashton and he chuckled, looking back at the board.
"It better not happen again, otherwise I will see you on detention."
I slumped back in my chair and sighed.
This is going to be a long class.
**********
I rushed home after school was over, and went straight into my room. I took a quick shower and hopped out. I grabbed my dress and slid it on. After I was in my dress, I started to dry my hair. After it was dry, I started to curl it. I put on some light makeup, making sure I didn't look stupid, and slid on my shoes. By the time I was done, if was 6:20 meaning Ashton would be here any minute now. A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. I opened the door, and revealed a handsome looking Ashton.
"Wow Brooke, you look-" he started, trying to think of a word to say.
"Beautiful" he finished.
"Thanks" I smiled.
He handed me rose.
"This is for you" he said smiling.
"Thanks" I replied, kissing his cheek. I put them in a vase with water and walked over to Ashton.
"Are you ready?"
"Yep" I replied, smiling.
********
"Do you guys want something to drink?" I yelled, trying to speak over the loud music.
"Sure" they all said.
Oh boy, how am I supposed to get them all a drink with 2 hands?
As if Ashton read my mind, he said "I'll help".
We walked over to the juice and I grabbed one for me, Calum, and Michael.
Aston grabbed one for himself and Luke. We walked back over to the table and set down their drinks.
"Thank you" they said and started drinking their juice in unison.
Ashton stuck out his hand in front of me and I gladly took it, following him to the dance floor.
"You look beautiful, you know that right?" He whispered, swaying to Justin Bieber's beautiful voice singing 'one love'. Girls everywhere were swooning over his voice coming from the loud speakers. They were all singing their hearts out while their dates just stood there awkwardly.
"Mhm" I mumbled even though I really wasn't sure. Do I look pretty? Ashton's supposed to say that since he's my date but maybe he's lying. Maybe right now, he's regretting taking me to prom.
"Hey, I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back" I said whilst walking over to the bathroom. I walked in and rushed over to the handicapped stall, even though I'm not handicapped. It's the only stall that has a personal mirror.
I looked in the mirror. My hair looks nice, but it doesn't look like me. Im used to my straight hair. I don't wear makeup often like this and when I do it's usually just foundation. I never wear dresses and I just feel different. I walked out of the stall and was greeted by Olivia and her group. It consisted of Kylie and Taylor. Kylie is the type of sidekick that repeats what the leader says, and Taylor is actually nice. I always felt like she doesn't belong in that group. She is kind of stupid and that's probably what makes her nicer than the other girls. Taylor snapped me out of my thoughts.
"You look pretty Brooke!" She exclaimed. Kylie slapped her arm and Olivia gasped.
"She does not! She looks awful and her dress is hideous!" Olivia said. Ouch that hurt.
"So hideous" Kylie copied Olivia.
"Stop that" Olivia hissed and I just mentally laughed.
"Stop making fun of Brooke guys, it's getting old now." Taylor said looking at the ground.
"What did you just say?" Olivia asked, her voice getting higher pitched.
"You heard me" Taylor snapped back.
"Your out of the group!" Olivia yelled and her and Kylie walked out of the bathroom.
"Thanks for sticking up for me" I smiled at Taylor. She just nodded and leaned against the wall.
"Good luck making new friends" I said whilst patting her shoulder. I started to head towards the bathroom door but was held back by Taylor.
"Wait!" She said.
"Can I hang out with you and your friends?" She asked blushing.
"Why are you blushing?" I asked poking her cheeks.
"Fine I will tell you, but promise not to tell anyone especially Luke?"
"Awh it's about Luke!" I said.
"Yeah, I kinda have a small little crush on him" she said blushing again. They would make such a cute couple!
"I pinkie promise I won't tell anyone" I said holding out my pinkie towards her. She wrapped her pinkie around mine.
"She won't tell him but I will. He'd never like you" Olivia sneered as Taylor and I walked out of the bathroom.
"No!" I said but it was too late. She was a foot away from Luke. I saw her talking to Luke and he smirked, looking over at Taylor. She slightly waved at him, and he waved back, pushing past Olivia. He approached Taylor smiling like a kid during Christmas.
"Would you like to dance with me?" He asked her. She nodded, tucking a piece of her long, honey blonde hair. They walked over to the dance floor and started to dance. I made my way back over to Ashton and we started to dance again.
"What took you so long? I thought you fell in" he chuckled lightly.
"I made a new friend and helped her" I smiled, looking over at Taylor and Luke dancing.
"Taylor?" He asked looking where I was looking.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" I asked looking back up at his eyes.
"Nothing, it just seems that you two wouldn't get along" he said.
"Oh" was all I said, swaying to 'more than this' by one direction. The song ended and the principle took the stage.
"And now, it is time to announce this years prom king and queen!" She exclaimed looking excited. Whistles erupted in the room, and she quieted everyone.
"This years prom king is Luke Hemmings!" the principle announced looking at Luke. Taylor smiled at Luke and gave him a a light push. He walked up and revived his crown.
"And this years prom queen is Olivia Wilde!" The principle announced glancing at Olivia. Whistles erupted and Olivia waked over to the stage and received her tiara. Of course Olivia won, she always wins everything. Taylor tensed up as she watched her ex - bestfriend Olivia flirt with Luke. Luckily, he ignored her and kept looking at Taylor. Luke and Olivia walked off stage in different directions and Luke approached Taylor. He gave her a hug and I could tell her heart just melted. They walked over to me and Ash.
"Congratulations Luke!" I said giving him a hug.
"Congrats!" Ashton said giving Luke a pat on the back. They walked away leaving me and Ashton alone again.
I looked up at the clock and gasped. The tour bus would be here any minute now!
"Ashton it's 11 o'clock! We have to go!" I exclaimed dragging him over to Luke, Michael, and Calum.
"Guys we have to go!" I said.
"We'll be out in a minute" Ashton said turning to the guys. I nodded and started to head out. When I got outside, Olivia stopped me.
"You better stay away from Ashton" she said glaring at me.
"Sorry but he's my best friend so I can't necessarily do that..." I said.
"I said stay away from him! He's mine!" She said, her voice getting louder.
"No" I replied.
She punched me in the face and I stumbled back, astonished of what she just did.
"Stay away from him" she growled and walked away. I heard Ashton laughing at something Luke said to Michael. I rushed over to the tour bus and went inside. I was greeted by our driver and rushed to the bathroom. Luckily our stuff was already packed in here, so I grabbed my makeup. I started to cover up my black eye that already started to appear on my face. I put away my makeup and walked out to where everyone else was.
"Our next stop is London" the driver said excitedly, and we started to drive to London.
