Promise (5sos Fanfic)

Chapter Twelve

It's been two weeks since the hospital incident.

So now, here we all are, sitting in Lucy's basement, playing a card game, cause there is nothing else to do.

"Okay, your turn." Calum says to Michael, who sits beside him.

We sit in a circle. Ashton to my right, then Luke, Calum, Michael, Lucy, then me again.

Michael picks up a card from the deck.

"I'm tired of this game." Ashton blurts out before Michael can say anything.

"Me too." Luke agrees, setting his cards down.

"I have an idea." Calum smirks.

"Oh boy. What is it?" I ask.

"Let's play truth or dare. I'll go first." He answers.

A few sighs come from everyone as we put our cards down and pay attention to Calum.

"Okay....Ashton. Truth or dare?" He asks.

Ashton knows all too well what Calum wants. "Dare." He answers.

Stupid choice.

"Okay." Calum thinks for a moment. "Switch shirts with one of the girls."

"That's not that bad." He says, taking off his shirt. He throws it at me, hitting me in the face.

"Not bad for you Ashton. But bad for me." I say, glaring at him.

I look at everyone. I swirl my finger in the air. "Turn around." I say.

"But that's not the point of the game!" Calum complains.

"I don't care. I shouldn't be punished for Ashton's dare." I tell him.

They turn around and I flip my shirt off, slipping on Ashton's.

I throw my shirt at Ashton, and he catches it.

He puts on the blue tank top, which he stretches out. I look down at my t-shirt with holes in it. Great new look.

"Okay. My turn." He says.

He turns to Michael. "Truth or dare?" He asks, his eyes glimmering.

"I would normally pick truth, because I know how you people are, but I want to see how this turns out. Dare." He replies.

"Play the 'Nervous Game' with Lucy." He smirks.

Lucy's mouth falls open, but then she straightens it. "Get over here."

Michael sighs and gets up, standing in front of Lucy.

"I jus want to let you know...I hate you." Lucy says, as she puts her hand on his shoulder.

He stiffs up, knowing what comes next.

Her hand trails down as she repeatedly asks, "Are you nervous yet?"

He replies with clenched teeth. "No."

Her hand reaches the middle of his stomach when he can't take it anymore.

"Are you nervous yet?" The question comes.

"Yes! Very nervous! Get your hand off me!" He shouts, running back to his spot by Calum.

Everyone collapses into fits of laughter.

"Okay, now it's my turn." Michael declares.

"Audrey. Truth or dare?" He asks.

Great.

"Uh...truth." I say, and everybody groans.

"Okay, I dare you to-"
