Perks Of Being A Fangirl (5SOS)

Chapter 28

The air in Ashton's car was thick with tension and the smell of alcohol. A very upset Amelia and I sat up in shotgun while Calum drove. Juliette and Ashton had to sit between Michael and Luke so nothing started.

But the three feet distance didn't prevent anything from happening.

"I broke up with her y'know," Michael grumbled to us. Luke groaned.

"Oh my fucking god I didn't know it was Piper! Maybe if you introduced her to us earlier this wouldn't have happened," Luke growled.

"Are you saying this is my fault?" I felt movement behind my seat indicating Michael was moving. I felt my palms start to sweat from the thick air of Luke and Michael's problem.

"It kinda is!" Luke hissed. "If I knew it was her I would have backed off!"

"It's not my fault you kissed my girlfriend after kissing Amelia!" Michael said, raising his voice.

"Don't you dare bring her into this!" Luke yelled. I heard Amelia groan quietly beside me. It hasn't even been 10 minutes, when is this ride going to end?

"I am bringing her into this! She is crushed! Can't you see it?" He pointed out. "Amelia, how do you feel right now?"

"High," she giggled, obviously covering up what she actually feels. I laughed super loudly because, well, I really don't know. It was funny.

"This isn't funny," Michael said. "Tell me how you fucking feel."

"She doesn't need to do or say anything. This is between you and Luke," Calum said, turning left.

"Thank you very much Doctor Phil," Luke hissed at Calum.

"Stop," Juliette warned Luke from behind me. "He's only trying to help."

"Not succeeding," Michael mumbled. "But Amelia, how do you feel about Luke kissing you, and then kissing Piper?"

"Honestly," She started, then turning to face the back row. "I feel like I'm never good enough."

"But you are way past good, you are amazing," Luke said to her. She rolled her eyes.

"Well you kissing my girl obviously doesn't help with that," Michael shot at Luke. They then started to bicker about who's fault it was. This was getting annoying.

"Stop! Just stop! You guys can talk about this when you aren't drunk or high!" I yell, silencing the both of them.

It was silent for a good, silent second until Michael spoke up.

"Look who's talking! You are probably the drunkest out of all of us. Lottie you even threw up! So don't come into our conversation about being drunk," Michael said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"I just think its best for everyone if you wait to discuss this," I said in a quieter voice, almost hushed.

"No one cares what you think," Michael retorted.

"Michael!" Ashton finally yelled. "You do not talk to her that way! She is just saying what is best for the both of you! So you better shut the fuck up!"

"Ashton to the rescue!" Luke snarled sarcastically.

"You need to stop. Now," Amelia hissed at Luke.

"You can't tell me what to do! You aren't my girlfriend so why do you think you can tell me to do these things? Lottie has already taken the spot of bossiness so you need to fill in something else," Luke said right back at her.

"Let me out," I said, giving up. I obviously wasn't helping so I might as well get out of the car.

"Lottie you don't need to go, just," Amelia started. "Just stay."

"Let me out," I said, a bit more demanding. Calum finally started to slow down and pulled to a stop at the curb.

"Lottie it's really late don't go," Juliette said. I ignored her and unbuckled my seatbelt. I climbed out if the car, shut the door and started walking God knows where.

"Let me out, I'll get her," I heard Ashton's voice sat quietly. Another car door slammed and footsteps came running towards me. "Lottie wait."

"Am I really that bossy?" I asked with no emotion.

"No! You are not bossy at all! He was just saying that," Ashton assured, pulling me into a hug.

"This is so frustrating," I sighed into his chest.

"I know. Let's get back in the car, if they say something I'll kick their ass," Ashton said, keeping his arm around my shoulder and walking me back to the car. I opened the passenger door and squeezed in with Amelia and drove to Ashton's house in silence.

"Do you guys wanna stay here for the night? It's getting late," Ashton offered. "As long as no one brings up Piper for the night you all can stay. You guys will talk about it tomorrow."

We all mumbled acceptances, too tired to do anything else. We all climbed out of the car and into the cool night air. I barely had enough energy to pick my feet off the ground so all that we heard was the shuffling of my feet all the way up Ashton's driveway and into his house.

"I'll go get some blankets and pillows," Ashton mumbled to no one in particular. He left the living room and we all plopping down into his couches and I nearly fell asleep. I think Amelia, Luke, Michael and Calum fell asleep.

"Just give me a blanket and I'll be good," Juliette whispered beside me as Ashton walked back into the room. I groggily sat up and grabbed some blankets and covered up everyone I'm their own.

"Let's go upstairs," Ashton said. I groaned and looked at the stairs. I lazily waved my arm towards them, indicating that it was so far. He sighed, picking my up bridal style and carried me up the stairs.

"You are a saint," I said to him as he set me down on his bed.

"Thank you," he laughed lightly. "Do you want anything to change in?"

"Yes please," I smiled, nearly falling asleep. He opened one of his drawers and fished out a pair of large sweatpants and a t-shirt. I unbuttoned my shirt and pulled the blue material over my head and stripped the green shorts off my legs and pulled up his sweatpants, Ashton watching me the whole time. "Thanks."

"You're welcome," he said as I plopped into his bed and he turned off the light. His warm presence filled the empty side of the bed, pulling the comforter over the both of us. I took the opportunity to move closer to him, putting my head at his chest. Ashton wrapped both arms around my body, pulling me closer.

I was nearly asleep when he said something.

"Lottie?" He mumbled, his chest vibrating as he spoke my name.

"Hmm?" I lazily responded. He didn't reply for a moment and I almost thought he fell asleep.

"I love you," He finally said. I didn't know what to say. He could still be drunk; I know I am with the buzzing in my head.

"I love you too, Ashton," I said back, smiling as I slowly drifted to sleep.
