do I really hate you? || Max and Harvey Mills

five; the Mills house

Once I left a note for TJ, Max, Harvey and I hopped in their car, Harvey driving, Me in the front and Max in the back.
"why does shorty get the front seat" Max groaned.
"why do you keep calling me shorty"
"because your short"
"I'm 15 of course I'm not your height"
"all 15 year olds I know are taller than you"
"right, you two cut it out and Max, Ash is in the front because I want her there." After Harvey spoke Max went quiet. Harvey and I continued to talk and when he didn't need his hand to you know drive he kept it resting on my thigh.
"why do you guys keep your car at my house and not drive it to school?"
"normally we do drive but TJ insisted we walked to school for some reason"
"probably didn't trust you to drive" Max added.
"no it's you no body trusts to drive Max"
"I'm a great driver" for some reason I didn't believe Max, don't ask me why I just don't, I feel like he failed a couple times before getting his license.
Once we walked inside their home Max and Harvey got engulfed in a hug from a little girl who I assumed must be Tilly, she looked me up and down a bit confused then looked at mine and Harvey's hands intertwined, she smiled quickly and yelled out
"MUM HARVEY BROUGHT A GIRL HOME!" she then turned back to me "hi I'm Ava but everyone calls me Tilly"
"hi Tilly I'm Ashleigh but everyone calls me Ash"
"are you and Harvey dating?" she asked curiously looking at our hands still.
"not exactly" she just looked very confused. "see I like your brother but I told him I'm not ready to date yet"
"oh, well, i like you and i think you should date him" I laughed a little and she ran away.
"you know i agree with Tills you should date me" Harvey said pulling me close to him and pecking my lips.
"hi Max, hi Harvey, you must be Ashleigh" I nodded slightly embarrassed. "Tilly told me your name by the way" I just smiled not knowing what to say, I assumed this was Sara, their mum.
"Ash and I are gonna hangout in the lounge room"
"okay have fun"
Harvey lead me to the lounge room while Max went back outside, I assume with his mates or something. Harvey and I were sat for about an hour cuddling, watching Netflix and just chatting about random.
"Harvey?"
"yeah babe"
"you know how you told me to tell you when 'i like you too but i'm not ready to date' turns into a yes" Harvey shifted his weight so he could look at me. "well if you happen to ask me again i think it will be a yes"
"well then, Ash, would you like to be my girlfriend" he sat up looking me straight in the eyes with his big caring hazel eyes that he happened to share with Max.
"I would love to Harv"
As soon as the words came out of my mouth he kissed me and i kissed back it started slowly but then gradually sped up. Sparks flew, but different sparks to when i kissed Max. I fell back onto the couch and kept kissing Harvey, he kind of laid hovering over me. He slowly pulled away with a slight grin across his face.
"sorry, i've wanted to do that since i realised i liked you but i thought it wasn't the best timi-" before he could finish his sentence i kissed him forcing him to shut up, our kissing turned into a make out session until Max opened the door.
"Oh, um, I'm sorry, wrong timing?" Once he came in Harvey slowly got off me and nodded.
"yeah, we were kind of preoccupied" he said as i sat up probably looking extremely guilty for no reason at all.
"oh i could see that for sure, so are you guys dating now?" we both nodded at the same time. "don't do anything nasty"
"ewww! I'm 15 Max! That's not something i tend to think about"
max put his arms up in defence "i was just saying jeez, plus that was more for Harvey, he's 17 remember"
"Max! could you just leave or something" Harvey sounded just as disgusted as i was.
"sorrry. I know where i'm not wanted, bye harvey, cya shorty." He made me so mad, like being short had its advantages, for example hugs from your boyfriend are always better when your shorter than him.
"sorry about him and sorry if he made you uncomfortable" harvey was always so caring, which was one of the many reasons why i liked him.
"it's fine, i've been in more uncomfortable situations"
"like what what?"
"well at one stage i lived in leads with TJ and some of his old r-roommates and... actually don't w-worry about it let's just say it wasn't a p-pleasant experience" i rubbed my arm nervously and stared at the ground shaking a bit.

Harvey's pov (this whole time it's been in ash's pov btw)
"babe, what happened you can tell me" Ash looked scared and nervous, as if this thing really affected her, it's kind of worrying me.
"no i-i can't, i've tried to forget it but i can't" she looked me in the eyes, tears building in her own, but before i could say anything else the door swung open and in came Tilly, Ash quickly wiped her eyes and looked at Tilly who quickly skipped towards her.
"Ash? i know you're probably busy with Harvey but can you please play with me, Max and Harvey never have time anymore and Leo's too distracted by his school choir stuff"
"of course i can Tilly" Tills jumped with excitement and took Ash's hand and ran upstairs.
I sat back on the couch continuing watching Netflix, but whatever happened with Ash i couldn't get it out of my head. I walked into the kitchen where Max was, eyes glued to his phone.
"oi where's Max where's mum and dad?"
"went to the shops"
"I'm worried about Ash" he looked up at me and turned his phone off.
"you haven't even been dating a day, what have you done?"
"i didn't do anything, you know when you said don't do anything nasty" max nodded "well after you left i said sorry if that made you uncomfortable to ash, then she said that she's been in more uncomfortable situations so i asked her like what and she started to tell me but then she looked kind of scared and nervous and started to get shaky and teary."
"where is she now?"
"up playing with Tills"
"maybe we could ask TJ about it?"
"no what ever it is i don't think she's ever told anyone."
"see if she has a diary and look in there"
"i don't want to invade her privacy like that"
"then i will whatever it is, it seems important" Max picked up the keys for our car and left before i could stop him, i don't know how he's going to get inside her room but if he can find out what's wrong i guess i'm okay with it. It's just a little strange how much he cares, probably his brotherly instincts.
