Ashton's P.O.V

"Ashton..." I heard in a sing-song voice, but I kept my eyes closed, pulling the thick blanket up to my chin. I felt shifting next to me, but I staid still. 

"ASHTON IRWIN" I jumped up when I felt someone smack my bum. When I opened my eyes, Iris was sitting next to me, her legs criss cross, and she was laughing. 

"OUCH! what was that for??" I laughed, rubbing my bum. 

"It's noon! You have that sound check in an hour" She continued laughing.

"Oh... Are you coming with us?" I said and stood up, looking in Iris' vanity mirror and fixed my hair. 

"I guess, do you want me to come?" She chuckled, and I quickly nodded, looking at her from the mirror. 

"Uh, of course! what about the actual concert?" I chuckled, and she shrugged. 

"Wouldn't it be sold out?" She pouted, and I nodded. 

"Oh yeah.. Well you can stay backstage? I can work something" I smiled at her, and she returned. "welp, I need to go back to my place to I can get ready"

"Yeah, you need a shower" She laughed and crinkled her nose, "I'll drive you. After I get ready" 

I nodded and she left the room. After a moment I heard the shower running, and I laid back on the bed, pulling out my phone. I tried turning it on, but it was dead. I think it's been dead for a couple days, I dont know. 
Instead I turned on Iris' TV and looked through the DVR, which held several episodes of spongebob, bar rescue, paranormal witness, ridiculousness, and american horror story. I chuckled at her choice of tv shows and chose Spongebob. 

After thirty minutes of spongebob, Iris comes back into the room with a towel around her, but I saw her bra straps on her shoulders. She looked through her closet and took out a white printed tank top and faded shorts, then quickly put it on. She brushed out her hair then started putting on makeup, making me frown. 

"What's wrong?" She said, looking at me through the mirror, confused. 

"You, putting on makeup. You dont need it" I said, and she rolled her eyes, shaking her head. She put down the light cream coloured bottle and picked up a blue bottle thing. I don't know the different names of make up so dont judge. 

"Happy? I'll only put on Mascara" She waved the bottle around then opened it, pulling out a little bristle brush, and she started putting it on her eyelashes. Okay, so I know what mascara is now. She ran her fingers through her hair then turned to me. 

"How do I look?" She asked, and I grinned, then got up, walking over to her. I wrapped out arms around her waist and nuzzled my face into her shoulder, kissing her neck. 

"You look gorgeous" I mumbled, and I saw her blush. 

"Shut up and let's leave" She laughed, and I did too. We both left the room and went down stairs, where we saw Piper asleep on the couch.

"Piper" Iris called, but Piper didn't move. Iris walked ovr to her and smacked the back of her leg.
"PIPER!!"

"AHHH!" Piper screamed, jumping up.

"Hi" Iris grinned, and Piper gave her a look. 

"What. do.you.want." Piper groaned, laying her head back down. 

"Where's Mikey? They gotta get ready" Iris giggled, and Piper nodded.

"He's in the bathroom. I'm already dressed so we can leave when he get's out."

-

"This place is a dump" Michael muttered as we walked down the backstage hall. 

"What is this place called again?" Luke asked.

"It's the Norva." Iris answered plainly. "I can't believe you guys are playing here." She tensed here shoulders, but she seemed to relaxed when I put my arm around her shoulders.

"Why?" I asked Iris.

"it makes me uncomfortable. I saw my first concert here, and it sucks." She crinkled her nose from the smell. She has a habit of doing that when she smells something she doesnt like. I know some people think she's weird because of it, but I think it's absolutely adorable. 

"Ashton?" I heard her say. I was looking down at her, and her cheeks were red. "You're just smiling at me. You stopped walking" I looked ahead of us and the guys and Piper were ahead of us. 

"Oh, I'm sorry" I faced palmed and Iris laughed. We caught up with them and we walked into the main stage. I sat at the grumby drums. 

"Gross." I chuckled, and so did the guys. "Oh! Guys, c'mere" I waved them over and they stood around me. 

I told them I wanted to play a song for Iris, and I told them the song. 

"Do you guys remember how to play it?" I asked them, and they nodded. 

"You're so cliche, mate" Calum chuckled, and I shrugged. 

"It's her favorite song, and... I love her" 
Luke joked on the water he took from his water bottle, and I looked at him weird. 

"Dude, are you serious?" Calum looked at me dumbfounded. I shrugged and nodded. 

"So, you wanna play the song at the concert?" Michael asked, and I nodded. 

"Then we'll need to practice, and I would think you'd want to make it a surprise. We can't really make it a surprise if she's here" Calum said, and I nodded. 

"Right, didn't think of that.." Just then, Iris came up to the stage. 

"Hey guys, we gotta head out for a minute, I have to help my sister move into a new house." Iris called to us, "We'll see you later. Just call when the sound check is over" When we answered 'okay', they left. 

Iris' P.O.V 
-at the concert-

Me and Piper we sitting in the guys' dressing room, due to the fact that we didn't have tickets. 

It was about two hours until Luke anounced the end of the concert. 

"We only have once song left, and it's dedicated to Ashton's girlfriend, Iris" He said, and my eyes widened at the tv screen when they started playing the music.

"And i'd give up forever to touch you,
cause I know that you feel me some how...
You're the closest to heaven, that i'll ever be
and I dont want to go home right now" 

I felt myself start to shake. 

"Reese? You okay?" Piper asked, and I felt myself start to tear up. Not because I was sad, but this is my favorite song. 

"This is one of my favorite songs!" I turned and fell into her shoulder, crying. 

"What song is it?" she asked me.

"It's Iris by the GooGoo Dolls!" I yelled, and I started to jump.
-
When the song was over the boys ran off the stage with their guitars, and I wiped my face. Ashton was first to run into the room, so I ran and jumped into his arms. 

"Ashton, that was the best thing ever!" I sobbed into his shoulder, and he hugged me tight. 

"Ew, you're all sweaty" I giggled and pulled away from him, sniffling. He rolled his eyes and laughed, pulling me back into a hug. 

"I love you" He mumbled so only I could hear.

"I love you too" I mumbled back, then I heard the door slam. I looked up and Luke wasn't in the room.
