My Brother's Band || Ashton Irwin

Ashton's POV

"Ashton..." Maddie softly mumbled. My eyes were still closed, I could tell she was still asleep by the way her words would slur and the sleepiness in her voice. "Bear..." Her hand gripped my shirt. I opened my eyes, seeing her faintly, through the dark, sleeping peacefully. She looked so beautiful. "Ashton...Please?" She whined. "What babe?" I answered without even thinking. Her eyes jolted open and she sat up looking around. "Maddie?" Her breathing quickened. "Maddie! Calm down." I pulled her to me and she finally realised that I was Ashton. Her breathing came back to normal and she sat up. "Are you ok?" I asked, worried. She nodded, "I'm sorry if I scared you, Bear." Her voice was still kinda shaky. "No, I was more worried about you than me." "I'm going to the bathroom." She sat on the edge of the bed and flipped on a lamp. She stood and as she did so I noticed something. "Babe, is that my underwear? And my Pink Floyd shirt?" She turned back to me and blushed, "Umm, yeah." She scratched the back of her left ear with her right thumb. "It's looks hot on you, Babe." She smiled shyly, "Thanks, Bear." It wasn't but maybe 2 minutes until she was sitting on the bed next to me. I sat up and looked at the clock, 3 am. "Happy Valentines Day beautiful." I smiled. "And same to you, Bear." She leaned down to kiss me. Our lips met and my hand went to her neck. She swung her leg over me, straddling my waist. I knew where this was going, or I thought I did. I pulled the hem of her shirt up and she jolted back, "What the hell, Ash?!" "What!?" "No, we are not gonna do that!!!!! Since you don't understand who I am!!!" She yelled. "I know exactly who you are!! But we've done it before and it's Valentines Day!!" "Really?! So because it's Valentines Day we have to fuck?! Cuz I've never heard that rule!!!" My mouth dropped open at her words. "Really? Nothing?! You have nothing to say to me!?" She climbed off me and walked into the bathroom. She came out and threw my underwear and shirt at me. "Here, have your shit." She turned to walk out. I jumped up and stepped towards her. "Maddie!" She spun around quickly, "What, Ashton." Her words were harsh and I froze again. "God, Ashton. You can't even fucking apologise. Well now I know where I stand." She quickly stormed out of the house and I heard her car start and drive off. "What the shit just happened?" I whispered raking my fingers through my hair.

Maddie's POV

The phone rang a few times before there was an answer. His voice was soft and sleepy, "Hello?" "Luke?" I spoke through tears. "Holy shit, Maddie. What happened?!" More tears streamed down my face, "Ash and I got in a fight and...and...and I don't know what to do!" "Shhhh. Just come over to my place. Where are you?" "Almost to your place." "Ok I'll see you in a minute." He hung up and I turned onto his street. I pulled into his driveway and climbed out of the car and walked quickly to his door. The door opened and I fell into his arms and cried so hard, I don't even remember how long I cried for. We sat on the couch and I told him everything that happened. "I snapped at him and he just froze and I stormed out." He nodded, "Why did you come to me?" "I almost went to Calum but he would just say he can't choose between his sister and his bandmate and take both sides." He giggled, making me smile. When I looked into his eyes I realised how close we were to each other, inches. Scratch that, an inch. We both barely moved and our lips touched. I'm sure our lips weren't joint for more than a few seconds but it felt like forever. I pulled back as soon as I realised what was happening. "Oh my god." I breathed. My hand went over my mouth. "Oh my god, Luke." I looked at Luke and he was looking around. "I'm...I'm so sorry." Our eyes met again and he pulled my hand from my face and leaned towards me. Our lips were almost touching when I stopped him, "I'm dating Ashton." He sat back, "Really?" "What, Luke?" "You come here for my help, kiss me, and don't want me to help?" "Luke cheating on Ash isn't going to help me." I stood up and grabbed my keys. "Maddie wait!" I stopped in the doorway, "What Luke?" "I'm... I'm sorry." He leaned against the door frame. "Can I make it up to you?" "No, Luke. You can't." I slammed the door in his face and walked to my car. It was about 5 am by now so Calum was probably up, working out or something. I pulled into our drive way and took a deep breath, trying not to cry. I walked inside and heard him in the kitchen. "Cal?" "Oh hey sissy!" I walked into the kitchen and sat on the bar stool. "What's up?" He asked. I had my head in my hands and was looking the counter. "Maddie? Are you ok?" I laid my head on my arms and let the tears fall. "Maddie!?" Cal sat on the stool next to me and put his hand on my back, "Maddie, what's wrong?" I sat up and looked at him, "Ash and I got in a fight..." "Go." "No. No, Cal I think it's over." "No it's not." "YES, CAL!" I cried harder. "Ashton couldn't leave you if he wanted to. He loves you more than life itself. You should've heard what he told his parents about you." I sniffled, "Wh-what did he say about me?" "He told them you were the most amazing girl. So beautiful, so graceful, so perfect. That you're to good for him and that he doesn't know how he got you." I smiled, "Really?" "No, I'm lying. Yes!!" His phone vibrated and he grabbed it, "Ashton texted me." "What'd he say?" "He said: If any of you guys see Maddie tell her to call me or come home. She's not answering her phone and I'm really worried. He sent it as a group message at me, Luke, and Michael." "I don't wanna think about Luke right now." "Why?" "I went to him first after the fight and he...he kissed me." "Oh, shit." "You're not helping." "I'm driving you back to Ashton's." "No, Cal!!!" "Yes!!! It's Valentines Day and you two need to make out or something!!!" I laughed, "Fine." He dragged me to my car and I got in the passenger seat and he got in the drivers. He held his hand out to me, "Keys." I laid my keys in his hand. "What the hell is this?" He asked holding up a whistle on my key chain. "It's a r-rape whistle..." I smiled nervously. "I'm just going to assume that Ashton gave it to you." I nodded, "Your assumption would be right." He shook his head and started the car and pulled out if the drive way. We drove in silence until we got to Ashton's. "You ready??" Cal asked. I shook my head. "Well that sucks." Cal climbed out of the car and grabbed my arm. We got to the door and he put my keys in my hand. I unlocked the door and took a deep breath. As I opened the door I spoke, "Ash?" Once the door was all the way open I gasped and threw my hands over my mouth. The floor was completely covered in rose petals, all the curtains pulled shut and the only light in the house came from candles placed all over the house. "Ashton." I gasped. He stood quietly with his hands in his pockets his black beanie and glasses on and a blank expression on his face. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. His arms wrapped around my waist and he buried his face in my neck. "I'm sorry, beautiful." He whispered. "For what? I blew up you have nothing to apologize for." He smiled and pulled back. He softly pressed his lips on mine. I put my hands on his neck until I heard Calum clear his throat. "Sorry..." "Maddie, don't you have to tell Ashton something?" Cal asked. "Oh...yeah...Bear," I took a deep breath, "I-I went to Luke's house after we fought and...and...umm...Luke k-kissed me."
