5SOS Love && Hate

Chapter 1 ~~ Ashton's P.O.V.

Ashton's P.O.V.

"Hey! I'm already hit!!" I shout as Mikey shoots me again with the nerf gun. Me and the mates were on our way the back stage curtain when Mikey spotted some nerf guns... And Mikey, being the gamer, decided that it would be fun to see who could get back stage 1st without being hit with 3 nerf bullets. That was 15 minutes ago. "Guys! C'mon! There is so much to do before we go on! Including meeting the VIP ticket winner!" Luke yells shooting 2 bullets at Mikey and Calum. "Fine!" Mikey says a little pouty... Can you tell he's the gamer here??

Luke and Calum and Mikey are ahead of me talking as we walk to the arena's back stage area.. While I'm looking down at my many many bracelets covering my wrists. I have no clue why all of sudden they look so, so...revealing.... Weird.

I guess that I was lost in a train of thoughts, cause I was being poked in the cheek by Mikey, Luke was whispering in my ear, and Calum was just standing infront of me staring.... "You need to close your mouth so you don't catch any flies.." Luke whispered. I shook my head as if I was shaking thoughts and flashbacks out of my mind.. "What are you thinking about , Mr. Irwin??" Calum questioned stepping closer and going all therapist on me....which is kinda creepy if you don't say. "Nothing, actually...You guys ready??" I asked as I reached out to open the backstage curtain, looking at the mates. "Yepper dogs!" Luke says like a little kid.. "Okay then." I think to myself. I nod and and push back the curtains.

"Hiya! Arvo! I'm Luke Hemmings!" Luke says with a smile stretching from ear to ear. "I'm Ashton Irwin, you can ca-" Is all I can get out before I see this very super skinny, brown haired tall  teen girl crying right in front of us.. She's got her face in her hands, I still can tell that this girl is beautiful... "Hey, are you okay??" Calum asks in a sweet, soft, comforting voice.

But there is one thing that really gets me..she's got a ton of bracelets on her wrists. and that is something that I know all too well. And it's not a good sign. Besides the bracelets, she has on a pair of light blue skinny jeans, a american flag top, a black beanie, and black Vans.

Some switch inside my is like flipped and I'm standing next to the small girl, with my arm around her hunched shoulders, shhing her. Trying to get at least find out whats going wrong or for that matter her name..The other boys are soon by the girls side too. She's flinching at the slightest touches..

"Hey, darling, what's wrong..?" Mikey asks softly. Whenshe doesn't answer, I think I found my final clue to what my thoughts were leading me to. "Shhhhh..., Honey, can you look at me??" I ask calmly and sweetly. She slowly lifts her head up and looks up at us. "Hi, beautiful, can I ask you a question?" Calum asks softly, as if he was talking to a sleeping baby. She slowly nods. "What's got you so upset love? Did we say something wrong??" Calum continues.

 She shakes her head 'no'. She looks at each one of us, with this look on her face, it's like she's trying to solve a puzzle with her eyes.  I lean and whisper into her ear softly, "Let me see your bracelets..." "Se-See what??" She questions softly and shyly, looking at me in the eyes, searching.  "Man, her voice is soo beautiful.." I think to myself. I nod and look down towards her bracelets. Her blue diamond eyes go wide. I reach down for her wrists carefully, and very very slowly...

She tried to fight against the hug but soon gave up and began to cry again. I quickly but gently grabbed her wrists and slowly started to pull off the bracelets. After about 3, Calum helped, too. I heard Calum and Luke gasp a little before they covered their lips with their hands. When she started to softly whimper, Mikey started rocking and hummings to her as he held her close. I gentle kiss her new and old wounds... Tears are forming in my eyes. I take a marker and draw a butterfly on both of her wrists as tears slowly creep down my face. Slowly I wipe my eyes and take the girl with the unknown name, into my arms and kiss her forehead. She struggles for a minute not wanting to break down the walls. But I know that for a fact that when you go soo long of hiding things, and once you get the chance to let it out... It's hard not not to. "Shhh... It's okay.... Look, look at my arms.." I say softly, stretching one of my arms out for her to see.

She slowly removed her head from my chest to look at my arm. I heard a small faint gasp escape her lips. She then looked up at me with soft, red, puffy eyes, and i gave her a faint smile which she returned with a huge and another set of tears from both me and her. "What's your name doll??" Luke asked coming over and gently rubbing circles on her back. She flinched slightly at his touch.

"Mia, my name is Mia.." She says slow and softly, looking up at Luke. "Hi Mia!" Mikeysaid a little bit too loud which caused Mia to jump slightly. "Sorry..." Mikey stated when she jumped. Mia just nodded and nuzzled into my my arms, which was really kinda surprising.. I grinned to myself and hugged her tighter. I love it when I can hug fans..Wait is she even a fan?? Calum joins the hug. Then Luke, and finally Mikey. This must be weird for Mia, cause she's in the middle and she's only just met us..That reminds me, she onky knows Luke's and my name, if she's not a fan.. But I don't really know squat about her..unless one of the boys does...
