*{MADISONS POV}*

I left Harry to do.. You know, I mean I'm guessing, and called up Kelsey.

"Madison! Just the person I wanted to talk to!" She practically shouted into the phone.

"Oh well that can't be good then," I laughed making her huff.

"Shut up. Anyway, get your ass to my house. We've got some.. things.. to do. Kay?" She hung up before even giving me an answer.

I grabbed my jacket popping my head into Harry's room before I left.

He was laying on the floor with his feet propped up on the bed as he typed furiously on his phone.

"Hey," I said making him look up, "I'm off to Kelsey's. Thank you for um.. Thanks for going out with Julia tonight. It means a lot to me, and I know it's probably not your ideal way to spend your Friday night."

"Anything for you Mads," he smiled, "It's just one night, right? And I know how chaotic school would be if everyone found out that I was your new brother."

I nodded, "Yeah, yeah it would be. But still, I owe you."

He stood up walking over towards me. He picked my hand and held it looking at me intently, "I've got a few ideas on how you can make that up then, Madison Rose."

He winked and I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks.

"Shut up," I blushed, "I gotta go, but I'll talk to you after, yeah?"

"Yeah," he kissed my cheek gently and dropped my hand returning to his previous position. "Have fun with Kelsey!" He called as I shut the door.

I walked the short distance to Kelsey's, it was lucky we lived so close to each other. Shane too, it meant we could always hang out since we didn't need anyone to drive us.

The lights were on inside the house but there were no cars in the driveway, so I'm assuming Kelsey is alone tonight.

"Madison!" She shouted before I'd even reached the door.

"Kelsey!" I mimicked.

She took me upstairs and I sat down on her bed.

"You are not wearing that on our date." She started digging through her closet.

I frowned, "What's wrong with-wait, date? As in a date date? With who?"

She rolled her eyes, "Your boyfriend dumbass. Who else?"

"What-I-What are you talking about?"

She averted my eyes, "Oh I uh... Did I forget to tell you? We're going on a double date tonight!"

"Again, what?" I stood up.

Apparently, my boyfriend hadn't felt the need to mention this either.

"Who are you going with then?"

Kelsey didn't have a boyfriend or even a crush.

"Ashton," she smiled at the ground.

"Ashton?" I repeated, "As in the drummer of Luke's band?"

"Yes, that Ashton. Do you know any other Ashtons?" She laughed.

"Well no but-"

"Save your butt for Luke!" She cut me off, "They'll be here in 20 minutes and we need to get ready!"

She threw something at me that I assumed was a dress, but could pass just as well as nothing but a strip of fabric.

"Okay, one. Please refrain as best you can from the inappropriate comments about me and Luke. Two, you know I hate dresses - so why are you giving me one? And three, do you have any clothing that's I don't know... Not meant for strippers?" I looked at her.

She sighed throwing me another dress, "The restaurant's on the nice side so you have to wear one."

I picked up the dress she'd chosen with 2 fingers holding it as far away from me as I could.

"Madison, it's not going to bite you." She laughed.

I stared at her, "You don't know that."

I put it on anyway, it was a simple dark green dress that was flowy so I could actually breathe, unlike the tight-fitting black dress Kelsey had on.

She held up some heels for me and my eyes widened.

"No. Way. I put the dress on, do you want me to die?"

She glared at me but before she could argue the doorbell rang.

"That's them!" she shrieked, "Go! I have to finish getting ready."

I rolled my eyes and walked through the house to the front door.

"Hi," the two boys immediately said when I opened up the door.

Luke's mouth dropped slightly, "Wow, Madison you look uh,"

"Ridiculous?" I supplied.

He grinned, "I was gonna say gorgeous."

I felt myself blush as he softly kissed me causing Ashton to groan.

"Save it for the bedroom," he shoved Luke likely making his face turn slightly red as I giggled.

"Kelsey! Get your ass down here or I'm taking Ashton for myself!" I shouted up the stairs.

The boys laughed and I stuck my tongue out at them in response.

Kelsey bounded down the stairs and I saw Ashton's jaw practically drop. Kelsey knew how to get the boy's attention.

"Hi," she smiled at him as he reached for her hand.

"You look amazing," he told her as we all headed back towards the door.

We all climbed into Ashton's car, as he would be our driver tonight, with Ashton and Kelsey in the front seats and me and Luke in the back.

"Now it's like a 20-minute drive to the restaurant," Ashton turned around in his seat to face Luke and me, "So try to refrain from having sex in the back seat."

"Shut up Ash," Luke mumbled his face bright red, just as mine.

He looked at me shyly his eyes full of happiness.

I felt my heart clench and I forced myself to turn away.

Just an hour before I was in my house kissing a boy and almost having sex with him.

A boy who was not my boyfriend. Not the boy I was sitting next to in the car here going on a date with.

I knew this wasn't right, but I felt torn.

I've had a crush on Luke for so long, why did Harry have to come in and fuck all that up just when he'd finally taken an interest in me.

I felt Luke's hand wrap around mine and I knew I had to make a decision, Harry or Luke.

No doubt in my mind this would be the hardest decision I'll have to make.

"Hey," Luke whispered pulling me out of my thoughts, "You okay?"

I nodded not trusting myself to speak.

"Did you wanna come over after dinner?" His hand laced my arm as he looked into my eyes, "My parents left for the weekend and my brothers won't be home... You can sleepover."

"Sounds good," I told him. The first step in figuring out which boy I liked more would have to come from spending more time with said boys.

His grin grew as Ashton pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant.

The four of us walked inside and I took a look around the restaurant.

"Irwin, table for four," I heard Ashton say in the background, but my eyes were locked on a booth in the corner.

"C'mon Mads," I felt Luke pull my arm as the hostess led us to our table.

I could only pray that it would be far far away from that couple in the corner.
