She's Into Drummers

Life on the road was amazing. I never had to worry about school and I was always with Ashton. Almost every night the 5 of us would hang out on the tour bus; Luke playing the acoustic guitar and the other boys would sing with him. It was a whole new experience and I loved it. I kind of missed my family though. I feel a little bad for just ditching out on them like that. I was still angry with my mother though. Every once in a while I would text her so she knew I was still alive, but if she tried to start a conversation with me, then I would just ignore her.
“You okay?” Ashton asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just a little tired.” I lied. I didn’t like to bring up my family with Ashton, because every time I did, I could tell Ashton felt guilty about taking me away from them. He would blame himself and I hated seeing him like that.

“Alright guys. What next?” Luke asked referring to us making a song choice.
“Why don’t we let Ella pick a song?” Calum asked. My head shot up at the sudden mention of my name.
“What? No, I don’t know what songs you know.”
“I can pick up on anything. If you haven’t noticed I’m pretty good at guitar.” Luke smiled.
“You’re not that good.” I joked, receiving a fake, hurt look from Luke.
“How about this? What’s your favorite song of ours?” Michael asked.
“I don’t have one, they’re all great.” I said. They all gave me an unconvinced look.
“Oh come on, that’s bullshit. You have to have a favorite.” Calum said.
“Well there is one that I really like.” I said giving in.
“Okay what is it?” Michael asked.
“Beside You.” I replied. At the mention of the song, Ashton pulled me closer to him, cuddling into me; my head rested on his shoulder and both of his arms tightly around me. ‘Beside You’ had only recently taken a special place in my heart. Every night while Ashton was away and I was still at home, he would sing ‘Beside You’ to me over FaceTime. It was fair to say that was “our song”.
“Awesome. You know that one, right Luke?” Michael joked. Luke shot him an unamused look before beginning to strum his guitar. All of the boys began to sing with him, but Ashton kept his voice soft. He had his head resting on mine, his voice only loud enough for me to hear, so that it was more like he was singing to me. I wanted this moment to last forever; it was so peaceful. I was falling harder and harder for this boy every day. Our 2 month anniversary was coming up on Friday and Ashton said he had something planned. Every time I tried to convince him to tell me what it was he would just say that it was a surprise and that there was no way he was telling me.

Friday finally arrived. I woke up with note on the pillow next to me that read “Good morning beautiful. Happy Anniversary. The guys and I had a radio interview at 1:00 so we left at about 12:30 and you were still asleep. So lazy;). Any way I should be back at around 2ish. See you then. –Ash”. I smiled at the note and rolled over to check my phone that was on the bedside table; I still had a half hour until Ashton got back and I had a text from Kacey. I feel really bad that I left Kacey. She was really upset when I told I wasn’t coming back to school. I miss her a lot, but we still text constantly.
[From: Kacey-Hey girl! Miss you L I already started getting ready of course, but it’s not the same without you here. I always thought we’d be going to our senior prom together.]
I completely forgot that tonight was my senior prom. I had to admit I was pretty upset that I wasn’t going. I mean, its senior prom and I won’t be there. But I guess if I wasn’t there then on tour with 5 Seconds of Summer is a pretty good alternative.
[To: Kacey-Ik Kacey, I wish I could be there. But you’ll have a great time with Taylor and Allison. Try not to miss me too much ;)]
[From: Kacey-Can’t make any promises.]

I decided to pass the next half hour by watching some TV, but since it was the middle of the day, all that was on was little kid shows and reality TV. I settled for a slightly intriguing episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

I got through two episodes before Ashton finally got back to the hotel. I mentally thanked him for putting me out of my misery that is watching that family. I ran up to him and jumped in his arms and giving him a long kiss.
“You’re acting like you haven’t seen me in days” Ashton laughed, breaking away from our kiss.
“Can’t a girl be happy to see her boyfriend?”
“Absolutely” Ashton replied enthusiastically before reconnecting our lips.
“You said you’d be back at 2, its almost 3:30. I’m not mad I was just kind of worried.” I said, trying not to sound like clingy, bitchy girlfriend. Ashton smirked at me.
“I was picking some things up for tonight.” He said holding up two garment bags that I didn’t even notice he was holding before.I smiled and pointed at one of the garment bags.
“Is that for me?”
“Why, yes it is. Just a little something for you to wear on our date.” He said handing me the bag. I opened it up and my jaw dropped at the sight of the gown inside. http://www.polyvore.com/surprise/set?id=153812700
“Holy shit! Are you taking me to a ball or something?”
“No” Ashton laughed
“Ashton, it’s beautiful! I love it so much, thank you” I said kissing him.
“Anything for you.” He smiled, making me blush.
“How on earth did you pick out such a gorgeous dress?” I asked, not taking my eyes off of it.
“I may have had some help from Kacey. This was the first one I sent a picture of that didn’t receive a disgusted emoji in return.” He laughed. He was so thoughtful and amazing and just perfect.
“Well, it’s perfect and I love it. I’m going to go hop in the shower and start getting ready.”
“Great! I’ll come with.” He said following me to the bathroom.
“Very funny”
Ashton giggled and kissed me; his lips lingered on mine for what seemed to be forever. Finally I broke from the kiss a closed the door in his face.
“That was just rude.” I heard Ashton say from the other side of the door.
“I know.” I giggled before turning on the shower.

After I showered and blow dried my hair I began doing my makeup. I was in the midst of applying my bronzer when I saw Ashton leaning against the door frame in the corner of my eye. I turned to look at him after he had continued to not say anything and just stood there staring at me.
“What?” I asked. Ashton shook his head defensively.
“Nothing. Just watching you.”
“And why’s that?” I asked continuing with my makeup.
“Because even when you’re doing something as simple as putting on your makeup you still find a way to fascinate me.”
“Fascinate?”
“Yep, fascinate. I just can’t help but look at you and think ‘I’m the luckiest guy in the world’.”
I didn’t say anything I just looked down and blushed.
“And I love it when you blush like that.”
“You say that all the time.”
“That’s because you blush all the time.” He said walking into the bathroom and wrapping his arms around me from behind, kissing my shoulder. I loved it when he did that. Even after two months of it, it gave me butterflies every time. I turned around and kissed him, one of our more passionate kisses. His hands made their way to the bare skin of my waist under my shirt and I tangled my fingers through his hair. As much as I was enjoying myself, I really needed to get ready. I broke away from the kiss, both of us breathing heavily.
“I should probably continue getting ready and you should probably start getting ready.” I said.
“Yeah, you’re probably right. I’ll go get changed.” Ashton said. I turned around to continue doing my makeup. Ashton smacked my butt before leaving the bathroom.
“Ashton Irwin!” I said, pretending to be mad. He poked his head back in.
“Sorry I couldn’t help myself.” He said with a cheeky smile. I rolled my eyes and laughed at his cuteness.
“Go get ready.”
“Yes ma’am.”

I finished my makeup and decided to curl my hair. I put on my dress and shoes before walking out of the bathroom. Ashton was standing in front of the full length mirror checking himself out in his tux.
“Well, don’t you look nice?” I said walking over to him. When his eyes met me they lit up and his jaw dropped.
“Ella, you look beautiful.”
I blushed and walked over to him, “Thank you” I said shyly. I linked my arm with his and we looked at ourselves in the mirror.
“Wow we are one hot couple.” Ashton said.
“Let’s go” I laughed, grabbing my clutch and pulling Ashton out of the room. The car that was waiting for us outside took us to a small building.
“Ashton, where are we?”
“An airport.” He replied bluntly.
“What? An airport? Why do we need to be at an airport? Ashton, what kind of date do you need to fly to?”
“Ella, calm down. It will all make sense soon.”

We were flying on a small, private plane. This plane ride felt like it was taking forever.
“Ashton, where are we going? We’ve been on this plane for almost an hour. Are we almost there?”
“Can you stop asking so many questions?” Ashton laughed.
“Well can I at least ask why Michael is here?” We both looked over to an uncomfortable looking Michael, who hasn’t really spoken the entire ride.
“You’ll see.” Ashton assured me before getting up. “I’m gonna go ask the pilot how much longer.”
After he left I went to sit next to Michael. “Okay, spill. Where the hell are we going?”
“I’m sorry, Ella, but it’s a surprise.” Michael shrugged.
“Please, I’ll act surprised. Just tell me where were going.”
“Can’t. I promised Ashton I wouldn’t tell you.”
“Please?” I said dragging out the word. Michael just pretended to zip up and lock his lips. I rolled my eyes. Ashton walked back in.
“We’ll be landing in about 5 minutes.”

After we landed we made our way to the black stretch limo that was waiting for us.
“What is it with you and the limos on dates?” I asked Ashton.
“I guess it’s just my thing.” He shrugged. Me and Ashton….and Michael all got in the limo.
“Now can you tell me where were going?” I begged.
“We’ll be there in about 10 minutes.” Ashton replied.
“That doesn’t answer my question.”
“It’s a surprise. You’ll find out when we get there.” I was getting so anxious.
Once we arrived, Michael got out first then Ashton. Ashton reached his hand out like a gentleman and helped me out of the limo. Once I was out, I looked in front of me to see where Ashton had brought me on this mystery date. I was shocked and stood there with my jaw to the floor.
“No. Way.”
