Stay With Me || Lashton ||

"Love you." He said to make me turn back around to him.

"I love you too." I rolled my eyes but this time a smile escaped because that's just what Ashton does to me.

Ashton's POV

What is this boy doing to me? Mikey and I are trying to set up my drum kit but I can't stop staring at Luke from across the room. His black skinny jeans clinging to his long legs are enough to get me hard but then he adds to it with his black cutoff band shirt. His hair is something to definitely be jealous and the way his blue eyes shine under any light makes me remember why I love him so much.

"Stop staring at your boyfriend and help me!" Michael yelled and smacked me on the head with a drumstick making me yelp.

"Ouch asshole!" I yelled back and rubbed the now sore spot on my head.

"You still haven't told him have you?" Michael asked at me and I turned quickly to shoot a glare at him.

"No I haven't." I mumbled and Michael gave me a scolding look.

"Why are you so afraid to tell him? Once you tell him about the music program you got accepted to, how could he be mad?" Michael said casually like it was no big deal but he wasn't the one leaving his boyfriend to move thousands of miles away.

"It's a two year program, that's a long time to be away from him and you." I said sadly. I didn't want to leave Luke but I really didn't want to leave Mikey and Cal either.

"Ashton, stop worrying about all of us and do something for yourself for a change." Michael scolded while he continued to put my kit together.

"I know but-"

"No buts Ashton Irwin, you are getting into that program." Michael said sternly and I sunk down under his words. I guess the program would be a good thing for me to take advantage of I just wish it wasn't so far away.

Calum and Luke walked up to join us on stage and we were getting ready to run sound check. People could be heard entering the small theater and my nerves were beginning to grow. Once we were off stage and joking around all together I began to feel a lot better. We were announced and took the stage to start playing. When I looked out to the crowd there were definitely a lot more than twelve people and they were all rocking out with us.

This was hands down the best gig we'd ever done and I left stage with a rush of adrenaline. The place emptied out and a few "fans" came up to talk to us and praise us on our music which made me feel excited that people loved us. After that we were left to pick up our equipment which we all four hated to do but it was a labor of love.

"Excuse me boys, are you 5 Seconds of Summer?" A unfamiliar dark haired guy asked from the bottom of the stage so we all stopped what we were doing to turn our attention to him.

"Yeah man we are. I'm Michael, this is Calum, Ashton and Luke." Michael said and introduced us all to the stranger.

"Great, well my name is Adam and I work out of LA for a small record company and I heard you guys play tonight." He smiled and my heart started beating faster. Luke and Calum looked like they could pass out but Michael still looked unconvinced.

"And?" Michael snapped and I elbowed him in the ribs.

"And, you guys sound really good." He smiled at Michael and we all looked at each other. "We are having this huge battle of the bands competition in LA during spring break and I want you guys to enter." He said and I swear my heart stopped beating. A competition? In LA? This has to be a dream.

"Are you serious?" Calum gaped and the guy, Adam, nodded.

"Yes, here's all the info and if you have any questions just give me a call." He handed Michael a paper and a small business card. "If all goes well, this could be just the beginning for you boys." He smiled then disappeared. Once he was gone we all turned to Michael who had the paper.

"This is legit guys." He breathed and Calum began bouncing up and down like a child.

"LA? How in the hell are we gonna get to LA?" Luke shrieked and grabbed the paper away from Michael.

"We could go, it wouldn't be that hard." I said and Luke looked at my with wide eyes.

"Ashton, it's forever to drive and we can't afford to fly." He argued and I shrugged.

"We will find a way to get there and win that damn battle of the bands." I smiled and the other three boys all pulled in for a huge group hug. We let out excited yell and hugged each other tightly. This was so exciting and a huge break for us.

I just hope I could tell Luke about Australia before things got too good.
