“Truth or dare?”
Looking down at the circle from where I was pacing around the bus with Minnie who, for the past three nights in a row, screamed none stop, I sighed, “Um, truth.”
“You can’t do truth again!” Calum groaned.
“Fine,” I grumbled, “Dare.”
Michael smirked up at me evilly, “I dare you to send a nude.”
“What?” I cried, startling Minnie who whimpered, rubbing her back and glowering down at Michael I shook my head, “No.”
“Oh come on,” Michael laughed, “What’s a dick pic among friends.”
“Forget it,” I snapped.
“You can’t just forget it, its truth or dare.” Michael retorted.
“Michael, I think Minnie is coming down with something, I have a head ache, I haven’t showered in three days, I’m not taking a picture of my…. You know…”
“Penis.” Charlie finished for me.
“Yeah, that, thanks,” I sighed, “I’m not doing it.”
“That wasn’t even a hard dare!” Calum laughed, “You have a girlfriend, send it to her.”
“No!” I cried.
“Why not?” Michael asked.
“Because, I don’t know… that’s just…. wrong, and dirty…. And no, just no.”
“So you expect us to believe,” Calum said slowly, “You’ve never send a nude?”
“No!” I spat, “That’s gross.”
“So you’ve never sent Des a little peek of the package?” Michael questioned.
“No!” I snapped, “I have not.”
“Why not?” Luke asked.
“What do you mean why not, why would you? Have you sent any to Charlie?”
“No,” Luke admitted sheepishly, “My Mom checks my phone.”
“Damn you’re whipped.” Calum muttered.
“We’re not done here.” Michael interrupted, “You have to do your dare.”
“I’m not doing it.”
“Then you drink,” he replied, holding out a red plastic cup.
“No!” I snapped, “I’m taking care of Minnie!”
Hearing her name, Minnie tightened her grip on the color of my shirt, nuzzling further into my neck, her forehead alarmingly warm on my skin.
“Well, if you won’t drink then take the pic.” Michael said not backing down.
“Dude it’s not a big deal,” Calum sighed, “Just send it to Destiny, she’s seen it already.”
“No she hasn’t.” I cried.
“What?” Michael laughed, “I’m probably not handling this like a responsible older brother but you haven’t, you know…. Taken a test drive yet?”
“Mikey!” Destiny shrieked, blushing.
“Oh my God this is gold!” Michael laughed, “What is it? Is it small, is like really tiny?”
“No!” I cried defensively.
“Is it shaped weird?”
“No!”
“Is it a funny color?”
“Michael stop!” Destiny groaned.
“Ohhh, is it you? Do you have like lopsided boobs?”
“Michael!” Destiny shrieked.
“What?” he laughed, “I’m just wondering how you two can date for…. I don’t even know long, then fake break up and not get it on? Like not even any makeup sex?”
“Michael, that is actually none of your business!” I cried, making Minnie start to wail on my shoulder, which soon turned into a hacking cough.
Rubbing her back, I took her off my shoulder and cradled her belly down on the crook of my arm instead.
“God, that is so weird.” Michael chuckled, “I’m gonna let you pass because that counted as a truth and I feel bad that you aren’t getting any. Damn Des, he’s gonna leave your ass if you don’t give it up.”
“It’s not me Michael!” she snapped.
“Okay,” Charlie said quickly, “Let’s change the subject, who’s next?”
“Um, Destiny,” Luke replied.
“Truth or dare?” Calum asked.
“Dare.” She sighed.
“Send a nude to Ashton.” He laughed.
“Are you serious?” Destiny sighed.
“You bet!” Calum replied.
“Des you don’t have to.” I said shooting Calum a look.
“Whatever.” She huffed, rising to her feet and starting towards the bathroom.
“Oh my God, is she really doing it?” Luke whispered.
“No!” I cried, “Destiny, come on….”
“It’s not that big of a deal Ashton.” She snapped, disappearing into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
“Lucky bastard.” Calum muttered.
“Excuse me?” I demanded.
“No!” he cried quickly, “I just mean, I’m sure they’re nice…. Not that I’ve looked! If it’s even her boobs, she could go with her…. You know… pu…um….va….uh….lady….”
“You should just shut up while you’re ahead.” Michael advised.
Nodding, Calum fell silent. More than a little pissed off but more preoccupied by Minnie who was sucking on my arm, but had refused her bottle all day, I waited for Destiny to come out of the bathroom, which after about ten minutes she did.
“Damn, took you long enough.” Michael cried, “I mean I know your boobs are small but did it really take that long to find them?”
“Hey!” Destiny and I cried in unison.
Watching in amusement as she beat Michael relentlessly with a pillow it took me by surprise when my phone vibrated in my pocket.
“Ohhhhhh!” Calum cried, “I can’t wait to see your face!”
My heart hammering wildly in my chest, I slowly reached into my pocket and retrieved my phone which sure enough had one text from Destiny. Taking a deep breath, I opened it then froze, because there were her… well…. Her boobs which surprisingly larger than I thought. I mean don’t get me wrong they were small but she must bind them up because the Destiny in the picture was far more, mature looking then the one sitting in front of me.
“Well?” Luke said slowly.
“Um, I….uh…..who’s next?” I replied, shoving my phone back in my pocket.
“Damn Des you’ve got him all hot and bothered.” Michael taunted.
Giving him a look I crossed over to the couch and sat down, turning Minnie onto her back and rocking her gently as I watched the others go around the circle doing various stupid dares and revealing unimportant crap until finally it was my turn again.
“Truth or dare Ash?” Luke asked.
“Uh, truth. Defiantly.” I replied.
“Party pooper.” Michael grumbled.
Rolling my eyes I turned to Destiny who would be asking the question.
“What do you want to know?” I asked, unbuttoning the first few buttons of Minnie’s pajamas to try and cool her down.
“Um,” Destiny said slowly, playing with her fingers, “Why….. why won’t you um….. why won’t you sleep with me?”
“Damn,” Michael muttered.
“Someone’s in trouble.” Calum mumbled.
“Seriously Destiny?” I demanded.
“Sorry,” she mumbled, “It’s just, is it something I did… or, do you not like the way I look? Are you not attracted to me? Do you not…. Do you not love me?”
“Shit, this just got deeper then…..then…..I don’t even know, something deep.” Luke whispered.
“Does this seriously need to be discussed right now?” I sighed in annoyance.
“No, yes, I don’t know.” She whispered, “I mean…… I know you’re not a virgin, you slept with the groupie so why not me?”
“I’m not doing this.”
“What?”
“I’m not answering that, it’s beyond stupid!” I spat rising to my feet.
“No it isn’t!” she cried, “I love you Ashton, and I….I don’t know….. I kind of want to do it with you….”
“Do what Destiny?” I snapped, “Fuck me? Is that why you’re dating me?”
“What?” she cried, “No I…..”
“So you can go tell everyone how you slept with Ashton Irwin?”
“No, why would I do that, Michael is my brother, I don’t need to get famous for sleeping with you?”
“Bullshit!” I laughed, my patience as thin as a thread, “He’s not even your real brother! You’re just his step sister and your parents aren’t even married anymore so it’s kind of weird that you hang around him all the time!”
“Ashton!” Michael warned.
“What are you saying?” Destiny whispered.
“I’m saying that you’re pathetic!”
“Ashton!” Charlie cried.
“You glue yourself to Michael because he’s something! Then you leach onto me because I’m someone and you…. You’re just….. you’re jealous!”
“Why would I be jealous?”
“Because you have nothing going for you!”
“Ashton!” Michael cried.
“You have no friends, your mom’s a freak, you have more problems and issues then a psychiatrist’s notebook! And then you want to blame it on me! Maybe the reason I haven’t slept with you has nothing to do with me!”
“What?” she questioned, tears rolling down her cheeks.
“Maybe I don’t want to sleep with some slut that got it on with her Mom’s boyfriend, then killed him when things got messy!”
“Ashton!” Michael roared.
“I… you….. how could you?” Destiny sobbed, looking like I had punched her in the face.
“Oh, play the victim right?” I spat, “Go cry, and pop anti depressants and make me feel like the bad guy!”
“Stop it!” she whimpered.
“I’m done!” Destiny, “I’m like, one hundred percent done with your shit! I’m over this, I’m over you…”
“Ashton don’t!” she sobbed.
“No,” I snapped, “You make me feel like I’m the jerk when really it’s you!”
“What did I do?” she cried, “I won’t do it anymore!”
“I….. that’s the thing!” I laughed, “You’re you!”
“Ashton!” Calum and Michael shouted.
“What is wrong with you?” Luke demanded.
“Her!” I spat, “I want to sleep with someone that means something to me!”
“And I don’t?” Destiny whimpered.
“No,” I replied, “I need to focus on the band right now….. I can’t, deal with your shit anymore.”
Making a choking noise, Destiny staggered over to me, “Don’t say that!”
“Get off me!” I warned, shaking her off.
“None of that is true!” Destiny sobbed, “I don’t care that you’re famous I liked you before that! I would have loved you anyway, and I’ve always needed Michael and I….I’m sorry I’m so weird, I’ll try to work on it okay?”
“Destiny, just stop.” I sighed.
“Please!” she cried, “You said it yourself I don’t have any friends, I don’t have anyone else I…. I need you!”
“I have enough to worry about right now.” I replied, “Your inability to make people like you isn’t one of them.”
“Ashton!” Michael shouted, looking like he would punch me if I weren’t holding Minnie.
Letting out a sob which made me seriously question if I was making a mistake Destiny backed away from me, “Do… do you even care me about me at all?”
Taking a deep breath, I looked up at the ceiling for a moment, before looking back into her tear stained eyes, “I pitied you.” I admitted, “I never loved you.”
Making an inhuman noise, she turned on her heel and ran to the bathroom.
“Des!” Michael called after her.
Ignoring him, she closed the doors, then locked them with a loud click. Immediately Michael rounded on me.
“What the actual fuck is wrong with you?” he shouted.
“You don’t get it.” I muttered.
“No, you don’t get it!” Michael spat, “She…. God, you disgust me! She loved you!”
“That’s not my problem!” I spat.
“It’s gonna be!” he snarled.
“Michael no!” Luke shouted, running to stand in between us, “He’s holding Minnie.”
Glancing down at Minnie, who I realized hadn’t made a peep in a while, I screamed, finding her twitching slightly, her blue eyes rolled back in her head.
“What?” Michael demanded, “Scared of the ass whooping I’m going to…..”
“Call 911!” I cried, panicking.
“What?” Michael spat.
“Calum, Charlie, someone, call 911! Liz! Liz help!”
“Ashton, what the hell are you going on about?” Michael snapped, stepping around Luke, who turned around, both of them looking down at Minnie before freaking out themselves.
“What’s wrong with her!” Luke demanded.
“What’s going on?” Liz called out, from the front of the bus, making her way towards us.
“I don’t know!” Michael cried, “There’s something wrong with Minnie!”
Woah.....
