Distance // Ashton Irwin

4. Surprise

It had been a couple of days since I last saw Ashton Irwin the incredibly hot drummer from 5 seconds of summer and I hadn't been able to get him out of my head.

"It's Ashton Irwin for fuck sake, he'll be all you can think about for days... famous people do that, they give you a taste of something you can't have" said Cleo flicking through magazines at the kitchen table. "What because I'm the fan and he's the celeb?" Cleo nodded. "Yeah, it's a little like this, if you aren't famous then you probably have no chance" she said sarcastically. "You read too much bullshit" I said snatching the magazine she was reading out of her grasp.

She giggled.

Cleo and I had been spending all afternoon together and we had spent most of it gossiping about Ashton Irwin.

Ashton was the first ever real celebrity I had ever met so you could probably work out why it was such a big deal to me.

"Oh hey look, he's in this one too!" I said pointing to a picture a few pages into the magazine I had just taken off Cleo. She rolled her eyes. "Already saw it" she said sounding not the slightest bit amused. "It says here that the Aussie band..." "you're obsessed" she said cutting me off. "No I'm not obsessed I'm just a dedicated fan, and meeting Ashton was a big deal to me" I said laughing. She nudged me "you just like rubbing it in my face" I winked at her.

"Besides, Calum's my favourite anyway" she added.

Ever since Cleo and I first met one of the things that got us talking was our love for 5 seconds of summer, but as the years passed it was harder to keep up with the boys and work fulltime. It wasn't like the early days when we would have our rooms covered in head to toe of 5sos and spam them on twitter hoping for a follow back. Instead we resorted to perving on them in magazines and reading articles about them, so bumping into Ashton Irwin was as exciting as would get for a fan like me, so I had thought.

"Hey can I use your phone for a minute? iv used all the data on mine" asked Cleo. "Yeah sure" I replied.

I made my way to fridge and started to make myself a chicken and salad sandwich. "Oi make me one" Said Cleo giving me hand signals whilst glued to my phone screen. "Because you asked so nicely" I said sarcastically as I grabbed out a knife out of the draw and started to slice the tomato.

After serveral minutes I handed her a plate of food and started to put everything away.

Cleo hadn't even been on my phone for 10 minutes when she started screaming. "HOLL.. HOLLY... OMFG WTF OMG HOLLY OMG"

"What!!!!?" I said concerned. "ASHTON FUCKING IRWIN SENT YOU... A ...A ..DM!!"

She screamed. At first I thought she was joking until she held up my phone.

That's when I froze as I stared at the printed letters on my phone screen.

Ashton Irwin @Ashton5sos
Hey, there's this party going on in two nights and a few fans are coming, I was wondering if you wanted to come? It's alright if you don't wanna.

Everything after that was blank, all I remembered was waking up to Cleo slapping me in the face with a wet face washer.

"What happened?" I asked. "You fainted, but it wasn't a graceful faint, you fell and knocked yourself out on the fridge" I laughed and that's when I remembered the dm.

I didn't know which one I was more concerned about, getting asked to go to a party with Ashton or knocking myself out on the fridge.
