Long Way Home

Chapter 4

We were all sprawled across the hotel room munching on McDonalds. I sat on the floor leaning against the end of the bed with Ash and Cal on either side of me and Luke and Mikey leaning against the small table opposite.

We sat in silence for a while appreciating the bad yet good tasting food we were basically inhaling, until Cal broke the silence.

"Let's play a game."

I shrugged approvingly.

"Ok. What do you wanna play?"

"Let's play.....truth or dare. It's a good way to really get to know each other."

I rolled me eyes at Calum's decision.

"Fine, but keep it clean."

"It never stays clean when Cal plays. Trust me." said Luke sipping his coke.

"I'll go first." Mike volunteered. "Ashton Irwin, truth or dare."

"Dare."

"I dare you to streak across the highway."

Michael smirked as Ash glared at him.

"Unless you wanna chicken out." I teased

"No, I have absolutely no problem with this at all."

He stood up and threw his black jeans and ripped muscle T across the room, before going to stand in the open doorway.

The rest of us gathered behind him sniggering.

He ducked back inside the bathroom and appeared a split second later cupping his crotch with both hands.

"I fucking hate you Michael."

I burst out laughing as I watched Ash dash out the door and across the parking lot like he was on fire. Cal was laughing so much he had to hold onto me to stop himself falling over.

Ash ran across the highway and back almost getting hit by several cars, before tripping over the curb on his way back and face planting.

Luke moved behind me and covered my eyes with his big hands and bent over so he could whisper in my ear.

"I really don't think you wanna see this."

"Thanks Luke. If I did it would probably scar me for life."

"Your right about that."

I heard somebody clamber back inside panting and Luke removed his hands from my eyes to reveal a red Ashton standing with grazes all over him and a towel around his waist.

"Oh shit mate are you alright?" Said Cal doing a very bad job of hiding his smirk.

"I'm all good the only thing damaged is my dignity."

We all reformed back into our dodgy potato shaped circle and continued the game. It was Ash's turn to ask someone.

"Grace, truth or dare."

I stuck with the slightly safer option.

"Truth."

"I'll go easy on you. What's your favourite childhood memory?"

Mikey shot a glare at him.

"That's the pussiest truth I've ever heard."

Ashton ignored him and I felt the boys eyes burning into my skull while I took a trip down memory lane.

It was hard at first for me to remember that far back because of all the major shit that had happened recently, but when I thought my hardest one particular one popped into my head.
