Let's Start Over [Punk 5SOS]

'3

We stand in the crowd of the show. I have to say these boys are extremely talented, and Ashton looks damn hot banging those drums. Wait. What? I shouldn't be thinking like that. I nod my head to the music and sing along to the repeating chorus.

They sing a few more songs and I look over at Sydnee. She looks so happy, staring up at Luke, and Luke staring back at her. I guess I should be happy for her. I've never seen her this happy before. I can tell there is tension between Tori and Calum. Please don't tell me that they are dating as well.

After they are finished with their gig a man, who looks like the owner of the place, escorts us to the back of the venue. The four of us and Lance stand and watch the boys walk out. Ashton has pulled off his shirt and we make eye contact. I almost let my jaw drop.

Sydnee and Tori quickly make their way over to the boys while Tracy, Lance, and I stay back a bit. Lance looks pissed off and I'm not sure why. He was always very over protective of Tori. But what guy wouldn't be protective over their little sister.

Ashton and Michael made their way over to us but Ashton dodged me and began to talk to Lance. Typical. I look over and Michael is talking to Tracy. They seem like a cute couple, but they obviously aren't dating. The two just met yesterday. I sigh and look at my phone. I turn around and begin to walk off when I feel someone grab my wrist.

"Hey. Where are you going?" Ashton said, a frown playing on his lips.

Wait. Ashton Irwin is upset that I'm leaving. "I need to get going.." I said softly.

"Come to this party the guys and I got invited to. Please?" he asked.

I sigh softly and nod.

He smiled wide and hugged me. "Thanks Em."

I laugh and pull a disgusted face. "Now I have to change! You got me all sweaty Ash!"

"Ash?" he smirked and set me down.

I shrug a bit when I hear yelling.

Ashton and I both turn around and see Lance and Calum about to fight.

"What the?" I ask.

"Don't you dare touch my sister like that ever again. Or I swear to god I will kill you!" Lance yelled.

"Lance stop it!" Tori yells.

Luke and Michael rush over and pull the two away from each other and Ashton pulls me close to him. What the hell is going on. Yesterday before school Ashton couldn't stand me, and now he is hugging me and holding me. I shake my head as Sydnee and Tracy make their way over to me and Ashton.

After a bit of talking we leave Lance and Tori to talk about whats going on. The rest of us, besides Luke and Sydnee who will bring Tori to the party, walk back to the housing complexes to get ready for the party. I sadly have dragged Ashton and Calum into my room to help me find something to wear which I instantly regret.

I hold up a dress and look at them.

"Are you serious? Are you going to church or a party?" Calum asks.

I roll my eyes and pull out a one shouldered crop top and a pair or high waisted shorts along with a pair of galaxy vans. The two nod and I smile. I force them to leave while I change.

I walk out after I changed and fixed my makeup and hair. Calum smirked and pushed Ashton towards me as he waits next to Michael for Tracy.

"You uh..look good." Ashton smiled.

I bit my lip and looked away from Ashton, trying not to blush.

He holds out his hand and I look at him weird. "Really?" I ask.

Ashton seems to have instantly switched moods because he started to laugh. "I was just playing with you. Why would I want to hold your hand?" he turns around and Tracy is now next to Michael. We make our way out of the housing complexes.

Back at the venue Tori and Lance are having a heart to heart while Sydnee and Luke wait outside the room.

"I just don't understand why you like him?" Lance asked.

"He is actually nice to me Lance. You know how my past relationships have gone and Calum seems different." Tori frowned.

"Thats also what you said about every other guy. I just don't trust him." He stated.

"What!? Are you kidding me? Lance they are your best friends. You should be happy that its Calum and not some random guy!" Tori shouted.

Lance sighed softly and nodded. "I guess your right. Just..if he hurts you tell me so I can beat his ass." he smiled.

Tori smiled wide and nodded. She hugged Lance tightly. "Thank you so much Lance. This really means so much to me." she smiled and walked out of the room and left with Sydnee and Luke.

We all meet up at a small diner before going to the party. We need to get something in our systems before we all drink. Because we obviously will. We split ourselves into couples. Although the only ones really dating are Sydnee and Luke. But after I see Calum and Tori share a few kisses I'm obviously corrected. I sit awkwardly next to Ashton as Michael and Tracy flirt across from us. I sigh and just order a Pepsi and an order of french fries. Everyone else ordered full meals. I guess I just wasn't that hungry.

After dinner we made our way to the party. The neighborhood it was in looks really familiar but I just brushed it off. We walked into the party and everyone took off in their own direction. including Ashton who went off with some girl dressed like a total slut. I sigh to myself and blend in like the rest of the wallflowers. But I see that blonde hair and my head turns instantly.

My ex, Josh Sobo, is at this party too.
