My Brother's Band || Ashton Irwin

Maddie's POV

My eyes fluttered open and Ashton was next to me sitting up with his laptop in his lap. I took a deep breath in through my nose, as I always do when I wake up, and sat up. "Morning babe." He said quickly closing his computer. When I had sat up he jumped and when he spoke his voice was kinda shaky. "You ok Ash?" I frowned. He nodded. "What were you looking at??" I said wrapping my arms around his torso. He put his arm around me, "Oh, nothing..." "Bear." I said sternly looking up at him. "What?!" His voice got high. He's lying, I can tell. His voice raises an octave when he lies. "I know you're lying." He sighed, "Fine." I opened his computer and the web page was still open. I furrowed my eyebrows. He was on YouTube, on the video we filmed yesterday. "Why were you looking at this, Bear?" He thought for a second and opened his mouth. "You lie to me one more freaking time and I'm going to punch you in the throat." He closed his mouth and opened it again, "Luke texted me and told me to look at the comments." I looked back to the screen and scrolled through the comments. The first one I read, being the last one I read also, said:

Maybe Ashton should listen a little closer to the lyrics. I mean Ash, she can't be what you need if she's 17. Haha. How coincidental!!!!

I closed the lid of the laptop and wrapped my arms back around Ashton's waist. "Babe... I'm sorry." "It's not your fault." I choked back tears and buried my face in his shoulder. A few tears fell out of my eyes and I felt ash get something off the nightstand. Minutes later the door opened and I looked up wiping my eyes. Cal, Luke, and Michael stood just inside the door. "Hi guys..." I whispered. They all crawled into the bed around me. I laughed as Cal wrapped his arms around me. "I'm sorry there are lots of bitches out there and they only hate you because they're jealous." Cal buried his head in my neck. "They're just jealous that Ashton got in your pants." Luke said. I put my hands over my face and the guys laughed. "But Maddie that song kinds does work for us." Ash winked. "What?" I asked kinda nervous. "Remember how we got together???" I just wanted to scream at him and tell him to shut up!!! "What the hell are you talking about?!" Cal said looking at me. "Thanks, Ashton." "Oh shit she called you Ashton." Luke laughed. "Well now you have to tell us what you mean." Cal said. "Fine, none of you guys know this but Ashton didn't just ask me out..."

~Flash back~

"OH MY GOD!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE SAM!!!" I quickly walked away from the school building. "Just listen to me!!!" He yelled back. "NO!!!" I picked up speed. This Sam kid was in my 8th period geometry class and has been asking me out everyday for the past month. My phone buzzed in my pocket and as I walked I pulled it out. Cal texted me:

Ashton's picking you up😊

It wasn't odd that my brothers band mate was picking me up. Luke, Michael, and Ashton pick me up a lot. I saw Ashton's car and sped up to almost a run. "MADDIE PLEASE?!" He was catching up. The next thing I knew his fingers wrapped around my wrist and spun me around. "Get the fuck off me!!!" I pried his fingers off of my wrist and basically ran to Ashton's car. Ashton must've seen what happened because he got out of the car and stood on the side walk. Once we got close enough Ashton grabbed my arm, "Put your stuff in the trunk and get in the car." He whispered. I nodded and did as I was told. I walked around and put my bag in the trunk when I stopped and listened, "Why the fuck were you touching her?!" Ashton yelled. "Because I wanted too?" Sam responded, "Why the fuck do you even care?" I waited to hear Ashton's response, "She's my girlfriend." My mind raced and then I decided what to do. I walked up next to Ashton and looked at him, "Thanks, babe." I smiled and took his hand. He leaned down and pressed his lips on mine. Electricity ran through my body until Sam cleared his throat. We pulled back and looked at Sam, "Alright, I'll go..." Sam turned and walked away. Once he was gone I jumped up and locked my arms around Ashton's neck. "Thank you..." I whispered. I felt him smiled, "You're welcome."
