My Brother's Band || Ashton Irwin

Ashton's POV

We drove Mati, Annie, and Maddy back to Annie's house and headed home. We walked into the house and Maddie went to our room to change. I flopped down on the couch and turned the tv on. Maddie walked in wearing black skins and my Pink Floyd shirt. She straddled my lap and looked at me. "See now that you wore your own clothes today you're turning me on by wearing my clothes." She gave me a weak smile and looked at her hands in her lap. I lifted her chin and softly kissed her. She quickly pulled off and laid her head on my shoulder. "Babe?" I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her temple. "Hmm." She didn't even glance at me. "What's wrong?" She shrugged slightly and I could feel her tears soaking through the sleeve of my shirt. "Maddie." I pulled her legs out from under her and sat her next to me. I wrapped my left arm around her shoulders and put my right hand on her thigh. "Tell me what's wrong." She didn't say a word. "You've been acting weird lately. Like earlier today when you were trying on dresses." She started crying harder. "Maddie. Please tell me what's wrong. I can't help you without you talking to me." She sniffled and looked at me. "I've seen things from people on like t-twitter. Bad things. Rude things." She opened her mouth to talk again but burst into tears instead. I wrapped my arms around her and rocked her back and forth. I grabbed my phone and texted Calum.

I think you and the guys should come over. Now.

I put my phone back down and held Maddie. "I tried to not look at it, but it's so hard to ignore." She sobbed. "Its not your fault. They're just stupid girls. They just want attention." "I've never done anything to them before. I don't understand." She leaned back and looked me in the eyes. I opened my mouth but the door burst open reveling Calum, and Michael. "What's wrong?" Calum asked. "Umm..." Maddie started. "Shit, are you pregnant?" "Fuck no." Maddie sounded taken back like she was wondering why Calum would even think that. Tears slowly dripped down Maddie's face again. I took her head in my hands and wiped away her tears with my thumbs. Calum sat on the other side of Maddie and she wrapped her arms around him. I stood up. "What's wrong?" Calum asked mainly to me. "There's some shit on twitter." I clenched my jaw. "Fuck." Calum mumbled to himself. "It's all fucking bullshit!!!!!!!" I yelled. "What the fuck has Maddie done to them?!!!!!? She's been nothing but nice." Tears threatened to fall. "I'm tired of it." I whispered. "I'M FUCKING TIRED OF IT!!" I slammed my fist against the wall making the whole room slightly shake. I let the tears fall as I put my forehead against the wall. Someone's arms wrapped around my waist and I figured it was Maddie. I didn't move I just kept crying. She moved around and stood under me, her back against the wall. "Bear. Why are you crying?" "Because they need to shut up and realize that I love you. They-" She pressed her lips on mine. "Ashton, I don't care about the cheating rumors or the shit that says I don't deserve you. The stuff that bothers me is the rumors that say I'm cheating. Or when they call me fat, or ugly, or useless." "They say those things about you?" She nodded grimly. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and kissed her forehead. "I'm so sorry." She shrugged, "What can ya do?" "Maddie. I-" "Stop. I just needed to cry it out for a minute. I bottle up most of my emotions so when it over flows I have to just stop and let it all out then I'm okay again. I've always been like that." "You don't need to hide the way you feel. If you're sad tell me and I'll hold you while you cry. If you're pissed off tell me. If you're extremely happy tell me. I wanna help you. I love you." "I love you too." She stood up on her tip toes. Our noses touched and her lips were slightly parted. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I pressed our lips together. "Do you still need us here or...?" Calum's voice trailed off. Neither of us acknowledged him. "Alright were playing on your Xbox then." She moved her right hand onto my chest and pulled on my shirt. "Okay?" I softly mumbled against her lips. I felt her smile then she pulled off. She ran her fingers through my hair, "Okay. Augustus Waters." She giggled. "Okay. Hazel Grace." I winked. "What if your name was Ashton Augustus Irwin?" She leaned back against the wall, looking at me. "We'd be even more meant to be." I smiled at her. "How?" "Your name is Madalynn Hazel Hood." "Yeah?" "Hazel and Augustus." "Ohhhh." She giggled. "You two are grossly adorable." Michael said staring at the tv. "I don't know whether to say thank you or smack you." She giggled. "How about neither and you just come help me beat Calum?" She shook her head and went to go play but I pinned her to the wall. "Bear." She whined. "No." "You can play with Calum?" "And let you beat me!?" "Bear, please." She looked up at me with puppy dog eyes and I almost caved. She softly pressed her lips to my neck. "Maddie." I whispered. "Mm?" "That really turns me on...fuck, stop." She pulled off realizing what I meant. I moved back and she sat next to Michael picking up a controller.

Maddie's POV

"Did you just give Ashton a boner?" Michael asked still focusing on the tv. I smiled, "Yeah, I-I think so." He snorted and paused the game. "Michael, what're you doing?" "When was the last time you let Ashton bone you?" I buried my head in my hands. "Because I'm sure it's been a while." "I boned her a month ago." Ashton chimed in. "Ahh, yet this morning you, Maddie, had a hickey. So basically, Maddie leads Ashton to the point where he's about to bone her. Then she shuts him down." I looked up at Michael, "Can you stop talking?" He put his face right next to mine, our noses almost touching, "Nope." He moved back to his original spot and continued talking, "Therefore Ashton needs something." I punched his arm, "Ow!! What the fuck?!" "You gonna shut up now?" "No." He tickled my sides and I feel to the floor laughing. He straddled my waist and continued to tickle me. "MICHAEL!!!! STOP!!!" I yelled through laughter. I got my legs under him and flipped us over. "Ashton? Please help me." I said breathing heavy. He came and laid down next to Michael. Michael turned to him, "You're girlfriends a bitch." I reached behind me and grabbed a pillow. I shoved the pillow in Michael's face. I rolled off of Michael and laid my head on Ashton's chest. Ashton wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I closed my eyes and buried my face in the crook of his neck. I heard camera shutters and sat up, "Who the fuck was that?" Calum giggled, "Sorry, twitter." I laid back down and wrapped my arms around Ashton's torso. Ashton ran his fingers through my hair, "I could lay here with you forever." I breathed in his scent, "Sounds tempting." I looked up at him. "Let's do it." He laughed. "I'd love to but I need to eat, and sometimes I have to pee." He giggled, "You're adorable." I pecked his lips and he smiled at me."Hey do you guys wanna go with us to Luke's house?" Calum asked. We both looked up at him. "Why would we wanna do that?" I laughed. "Because he's ordering pizza, he has ice cream, and he has about 4 million movies." "He also has nice couches." I shrugged. "Only if we watch The Fault In Our Stars." "Dammit, fine." "YAY!!" I jumped up and helped Ashton up. We went to our room and I put my shorts back on but left Ashton's shirt on. Ashton changed into his black tank top and put on this grey bandana. "What is that?" I smiled and he wrapped his arms around me. "What? Oh this? My bandana." "Why the fuck is it on your head?" I laughed. "I think it's hot." He winked. "It is pretty sexy." I smirked. He took his hands from my waist and intertwined out fingers, holding both of my hands. I pecked his lips and he kissed my forehead. He pressed his forehead against mine and I heard camera shutters. "CALUM!" Him and Michael laughed. "Sorry, twitter needs your adorableness." They were standing in the doorway watching us. "If you're going to take pictures at least put it on silent." I felt Ashton staring at me and looked at him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed his lips on mine. I put my hands on his biceps and tilted my head so we could get a better angle. Then there were more shutter clicks. We both ignored them. "Can we leave now?" Michael asked, "There's pizza at Luke's house but I'm stuck here watching you two make out." I pulled off and broke out if Ashton's grip. I could tell Ash gave Michael the finger by the way Michael gave it back, smirking. I walked between Michael and Calum, smacking Michael as I did.
