Beside you [5SOS/Ashton Irwin]

Chapter 16- I pinkie promise

"Wow that was great!" Louis said clapping his hands loudly. I winced, his loud clapping hurting my ears.

"Yeah good job!" Niall said giving us a thumbs up.

"Thanks" I mumbled, getting tired. I sat the guitar I used on the stand, and started walking towards the bathroom.

"Brooke where are you going?" Calum yelled after me. I rolled my eyes. Sometimes he really gets on my nerves because he's always protective over me. He acts like my dad.

"I'm going to the bathroom" I yelled back, walking through the bathroom door. I went over to the sink and splashed my face with water. I have a massive migraine and I don't feel good. I sat against the wall and closed my eyes. Calum has been annoying me lately and I just want him to leave me alone. I think I'm getting the migraine from him. Annoyed by his constant protectiveness, I got up after I got a text from him asking if I was okay. I flew through the bathroom doors and stomped over to where Calum was.

"Calum I'm fucking fine so stop worrying about me! It's getting annoying I'm not a baby!" I screamed at him.

I barged out of the building, rushing past fans.

"OH MY GOSH I LOVE YOU BROOKE!"

"BROOKE YOUR MY IDOL PLEASE NOTICE ME" fans screamed, reaching their hands out to me.

"BROOKE YOUR SO UGLY"

"EW WHY DO YOU EVEN EXIST?"

"YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN THE BAND!" all of the sudden, all of the nice comments were blocked by the mean ones in my head. One particular girl caught my attention.

"I told you to stay away from him. Now you'll have to pay". I looked over and saw Olivia smirking at me with her low cut shirt that can store jelly beans and popcorn.

My eyes widened and I started running. I heard her heavy footsteps behind, and that's probably because she is heavy--- no offense or anything. I turned down an alleyway, but stopped since it was a dead end. Now is the time, I wish Calum was being annoying and protective, so he could come and help me.

"You really should've listened to me" Olivia snarled pushing me against the wall. I hid my head and slid down the wall. I started scooting away from her, but I cut my hand on a loose strand of barb-wire.

"Ow" I winced, holding my hand that was now bleeding.

"Ashton is mine bitch!" She said slapping me.

"What the hell Olivia?" Luke asked getting her off of me.

"Oh hey Luke!" She said throwing her hands around him.

"We should hang out some time" she winked and fixed his collar.

He pushed her off of him and fixed his collar the way he wanted it.

"Maybe we shouldn't" he said grabbing my hand.

"Tell Ash to call me!" She yelled after him.

"Never" he mumbled under his breath and dragged me back to the recording studio.

"What the hell is wrong with you Brooke? You could've been mauled by fans!" Michael scolded me.

"We'll I wasn't!" I protested, throwing my hands in the air. I hate how everyone never minds their own business.

"Calum was just looking out for you" Luke explained, never looking up from his phone.
I rolled my eyes for the millionth time today.

"Well I don't need him too. And tell him that would you?" I pouted, not looking at Calum.

"Well, Calum says he's not talking to you anyway" Luke said after Calum whispered something to Luke.

"Tell him that I'm delighted" I said to Luke. We left the studio soon after and headed to our hotel. We headed up to the VIP floor and went into our room. We sat our bags on the floor and I ran over to the bed. Normally, Calum and I would share a bed since we are---were best friends, but now I have it to myself. Luke sighed after he approached my bed, and saw that I claimed it.
"I'll sleep on the pullout couch" he mumbled, and sat on the couch.

"LET'S DO A TWIT CAM" Ashton announced/screamed and grabbed his laptop. I sat next to him and watched as he logged in and started one.

"Hello" Ashton waved at the camera excitedly.

"Hello!" I said, my thick Australian accent sounding.

"We are currently in London right now, and so far, I am having a great time!" Ashton smiled.

At least someone is having a good time I thought to myself. A whole bunch of tweets popped up on the screen.
'Come to the U.S!'

'Come to Brazil please xx'

'Come to Portugal, we miss you!'

And even tweets in different languages besides English.

"We will try to visit every country if we can!" Ashton explained. He really does love the fans.

"Say hello to Michael!" Ashton said pointing the camera towards Michael who was playing the X-box. He paused his game and smiled.

"Bonjour!" He said going back to his game.

"It looks like Michael's French side is starting to show" I said laughing.

"You Frenchians must be proud" I said still laughing.

"Frenchians?" Ashton asked, laughing really hard.

"What are French people called?" I asked him, trying not to laugh.

"French" Ashton said, laughing his cute laugh.

"Sorry French people" I said at the camera.

My phone buzzed next to me so I unlocked it.

Can we talk? Please? Meet me on the roof

I quickly replied 'fine'.

"Excuse me for a moment" I said whilst getting up from my spot. I walked out of the hotel room, making sure to bring my key because most likely Calum would forget it and everyone would be too lazy to open the door for us. I headed toward the stairs since the elevator doesn't go up to the roof. I headed to the roof and opened the door, making sure to put a brick in between it so we wouldn't get locked out. I saw Calum sitting in the corner, cradling his legs, looking down at the lights in the city. It was getting dark out, and nighttime air was a bit cold. I tightened my jacket around me and walked over to where Calum was.

"I didn't mean to annoy you" he said while a single tear fell from his eye. He quickly wiped it away and I turned my head, looking down at the city.

"I know, but you don't have to be so protective. I'm not a kid Calum" I said still looking down.
"If something ever happened to you--" he started, his voice cracking.

"I would never be able to live with the fact that you were gone" he said another tear falling down his face. This time, the tears kept coming.

"I don't like being mad at you" I said while wiping his tears away.

"I love you Brooke"

I smiled.

"I love you to Calum"

"I promise that I won't be so protective anymore"

"Pinkie promise?" I asked, holding out my pinkie

"I pinkie promise" he replied wrapping his pinkie around mine.
