Beside you [5SOS/Ashton Irwin]

Chapter 24- "Deal"

*Brooke's POV*

"Brooke wake up! We have soundcheck today, and our first concert tonight!" Ashton screamed.

Shit.

"That's tonight?!" I screamed, getting up from my bed. I rubbed my eyes, walking into the kitchen.

"Goodmorning bed head" Luke smiled at me.

"Bastard"

"If you don't swear all day today, I will give you 20 dollars" Michael said behind me, pouring a cup of coffee for him and myself.

"That seems pretty hard despite y'all are fucking annoying"

"Strike one"

"How many strikes do I have?"

"4 left"

"Deal"

We shook hands, and I added sugar and creamer to my coffee.

"But if you run out of strikes, you owe all of us 20 dollars each" Luke said getting off of the stool he was sat on.

"No I don't. Mikey and I shook hands on it before you said it, so I owe you bitches nothing" I smirked, grabbing my coffee and going into the living room.

"Strike two!" Calum said.

I rolled my eyes. 

"I call the shower first!" I screamed, racing into the bathroom after grabbing my clothes.

After taking a shower, I dressed up in a Nirvana tank top and skinny jeans. I put my hair up in a doughnut bun, and left my face natural.

I wonder if it counts if I swear in a different language... Eh, that's to much work.

"Brooke, hurry up!" Ashton was banging on the door.

"Okay!" I screamed, opening the door.

"Why do you always take so long?"

I shrugged.

"Cause I'm a girl. Duh"

"Right" Ashton nodded, walking past me.

"Calum, what time is it?"

"11:20"

"Shit, Pretty Little Liars is on!" I screamed, running towards the T.V.

I grabbed the remote from Michael and changed the channel. 

"Hey! I was watching that!"

"Too bad"

"Is Pretty Little Liars the show with that girl with the brown hair?"

"Which one? Aria, Spencer, Emily, Jen-"

"I dont know her name!"

"Ugh, you'll see" I sighed.

The comercial was over, and Pretty Little Liars was on.

"Yes! This is the one!" Michael said excitedly.

"I like her!" he said pointing to Aria.

"In your dreams" I shook my head.

I was at the good part where Spencer and Ian were figting at the bell tower when all of the sudden Ashton turned the tv off right when Spencer almost fell. My mouth was wide open, and I was about to punch Ashton in the face. Calum was video tapping it, and Ashton was crying he was laughing so hard.

"WHAT THE HELL ASHTON!" I screamed at him.

"Thats strike 3" he said laughing.

"Ughh I hate you right now!" I screamed, grabbing a pillow off of the couch, and throwing it at Ashton. He ducked and it hit a lamp behind him, causing the lamp to fall and shatter on the floor. 

"Shiitake mushrooms, we're all fudging dead!" I screamed, choosing my words wisely.

"You mean you're dead!" Calum screamed.

"I didn't do anything! If Ashton wouldn't have ducked, the lamp would'nt have fallen!"

"But you shouldn't have thrown the pillow!"

"And you shouldn't have turned the TV off!"

"... Michael shouldn't have given you the remote!" Ashton yelled pointing at Michael.

"Well... Calum shouldn't have told Brooke the time!" Michael defended.

After that we all started to argue, and point fingers, and scream at each other. I'm just lucky they didn't notice me swear a couple times.

Our manager barged in, and yelled "What's going on in here!".

We all stopped arguing.

"You sound like a bunch of wild animals. There have been many complaints from different guests."

"Did anyone famous call?" I asked, trying to break the tension.

"Well, Miley Cyrus did" he smiled.

"Really?!" Michael screeched.

"NO" the manager replied.

"But even if she did, that wouldn't matter. We almost got kicked out, so I had to give the hotel 300 dollars. And what is all of this?!" he screamed, reffering to the shattered glass on the floor.

"Um, I threw a pillow at Ashton, but he ducked and it hit the lamp.." I replied.

"That lamp was worth more than your phones." he sighed.

"Now who's going to pay for this?" he asked.

"Me, sir" I replied.

"Well, 1,000 dollars are coming out of your paycheck."

"But, si-" I started, but he cut me off.

"No buts" and then he left.

"Brooke, we-"

"Stop" I put my hand up and grabbed my keys, wallet, and phone.

"I need a day off from you guys."

"What about sound check?" Luke asked.

"Go without me" I rolled my eyes and left.

I really need a day off from them. I can never do anything I want without having to pay for it. Literally. And they always annoy me. They bother me to the point where I can't stand them, and they defiantly went over the limit this time. I work hard for my money, and now it's being wasted on something so stupid, and they didn't even back me up. My phone buzzed in my pocket, but I didn't even bother looking at it. I just turned my phone off, and kept walking out to my car. I'm going for a peaceful swim in a lake, alone.
