Promise (5sos Fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-Two

The bus started moving again in the middle of the night. Now we were off to who-knows-where?

Well, obviously 5sos did, but I never paid much attention to road trip plans.

"Guess where we are going!" Calum barges into the 'living room' where Luke, Ashton and I were sitting on the couch.

"No clue." I say, scrolling through Twitter, and honestly, not caring.

"The USA!" Calum screeches, jumping up and down.

"Okay...why are you so happy?" I ask.

"Calum's excited that we get to go to the USA, because someone on Twitter informed him that they had something there for him. Something big." Ashton tells me.

"Oh. Must be good then." I say.

"Must be." Luke echoes.

"I can't wait to see what it is!" Calum collapses on the floor and lays there, pretending like he's dead.

We all ignore him. We've gotten used to Calum actin like this.

"So, I never knew how much hate you guys gots through social media." I say.

Ashton and Luke both look at me, concern in their eyes.

"Is it finally happening to you?" Ashton asks quickly.

"Yeah." I say disappointed.

Luke brings me into a hug. "I'm sorry. Don't listen to them. They are all just jealous, and they can't do anything to hurt you, because they don't know you. Understand me?" He asks.

"Yes Luke, let me go." I order.

"Audrey, what kind of things are they saying?" Ashton asks.

"Well, there is this new hashtag that is trending. Wanna see?" I push my phone into his face.

"#notalentirwins?" Ashton asks.

"That's the one." I say, nodding my head.

"Here's another one." I scroll down until I find it.

"#novoiceaudrey. #keepcuttingaudrey. #hateaudreyirwin. " Ashton reads out.

I look at him.

"Luke's right. They are just jealous. Remember when people were bulky in my sister?" Ashton asks.

"Yeah. Lauren never deserved that." I say.

"Right. They were jealous of her, because she's got an amazing brother." He jokes.

"It's never right to joke about bullying." Luke says.

"Shut up Luke." Ashton sticks his tongue out.

"Ashton's bullying me!" Luke points his finger at Ashton and pokes his bottom lip out.

"Oh my god you guys. You make it so difficult to live with you people." I say, turning around.

"You love us." Ashton smiles.

"Yeah...I do."

"Hey guys? Have you seen the soap anywhere?" I call from the bathroom.

I could've sworn we still had a full bottle of hand soap in here, but I couldn't find it.

I go out of the bathroom, to realize that everyone is gone.

Wonder where they went.

I am about to walk back into the bathroom when I'm pushed against the wall, and lips meet with mine.
