It was now July 6th, and we were in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The boys have a show tonight, then tomorrow is Ashton's and my birthday!!! Luke, Michael, Ashton, and Calum said that they had a plan for my birthday, but it's a secret.

The boys' show started at 6:30, and I was talking to Talia backstage.

"So, tomorrow is your 17th birthday?" She asked.

"Yeah, and it's Ashton's too!!" I exclaimed, smiling.

"Oh, yeah, I remember! He's 19 tomorrow! You guys doing anything?"

"Well, the boys said that they have a surprise, so we're doing that, I guess.."

"Ooo... A surprise? What would that be?" She acted like she didn't know.

"Do you know?" I wondered.

"Maybe," she shrugged.

"Talia, don't tell me, okay?" I begged. I really didn't want to know because that would ruin the surprise.

"I wasn't gonna," she told me.

"Good," I smiled.

We went to the side of the stage, and Ashton winked at me. I smiled in return, and then started singing along to Superhero with Talia.

------

Later that night, I woke up at 11:59pm. I snuck into Ashton's bunk, and laid down in the bunk with him. We planned this, and so he was awake. My phone's time turned to 12:00, and I turned to Ashton.

"Happy 17th birthday, babe," he whispered.

"Happy 19th birthday, Ash," I murmured back.

I was now laying underneath Ashton, and we kissed. It felt magical, even though boing was different except it was our birthday and that we were kissing when we were 17 and 19. It was almost like it was different from any other kiss, but it wasn't. All we were doing was making out in Ashton's bunk. We broke the kiss, and I heard stirring from one of the other boys.

I heard someone underneath us in the bunk below. I could hear him muttering something and whispering random things. He was moving around quite a bit, too.

*BONK*

"Owwww!" Calum yelled.

"What's the matter, Calum?" Ashton asked, giggling, and I was trying to contain my giggles.

"Hit my head on the bottom of your bunk. Thanks dude," Calum replied sarcastically.

"Your welcome," Ashton said jokingly. Soon, Calum fell back to sleep, and Ashton was again on top of me.

"Now where were we?" He asked me.

I smashed my lips onto his, and our lips were moving in sync. His lips traveled down my neck, leaving a few love bites. He stopped at the top of my shirt, and bit at it.

"Not now, Ashton," I rejected. He let go of my shirt and fake pouted, like always.

"I said no," I repeated, "we are not having sex in a bunk."

His big puppy dog eyes and fake pout weren't persuading me.

"Okay, I'm going back to my bunk," I announced to Ashton.

"No, babe, stay here. Sleep here," he begged.

"There's not enough room for both of us.."

"Lay on top of me," Ashton suggested.

"Oh, alright," I finally agreed. I laid on top of him and cuddled him until I fell asleep.

------

I woke up and clicked on my phone.

"5:57 July 7th, 2013" popped up.

5:57, the other boys might be up soon. I crawled out of the bunk, and Ashton grabbed my arm.

"What are you doing, babe?" He asked.

"It's 5:57, the boys will be up soon, maybe," I replied.

"At six o'clock? I don't think so. But to be safe... okay."

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you too, Maddison Paige Higgins," he smiled.

I loved it when he called me by my full name. Satisfied, I got back into my bunk and closed the curtain. I fell asleep within minutes.

------

I woke up to the sound of Michael, Calum, and Luke singing, "Happy Birthday".

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear Ashton and Maddie,

Happy birthday to you!

I checked my phone: 7am. I got out of my bunk, and the boys were smiling.

"Hey guys. I'm glad I woke up like this, but it's 7am," I smiled.

"Maddie, I heard you walking around at like 6 this morning.." Luke recalled me climbing out of Ashton's bunk and going back to my bunk.

"Must've been sleep-walking," I lied and looked at Ashton who was smirking.

"Okay, we are taking you guys out to breakfast!" Calum announced.

Luke drove us to a nice restaurant for breakfast. We got there at about 7:30, got seated, and the waitress immediately took our orders. I ordered the chocolate chip waffles with whipped cream, bacon, a piece of toast, and eggs. It was a big breakfast, especially for me!!

Once we finished, it was 8:30, and we then talked for a bit. We left the restaurant at 9.

Later that evening, we went to the Consol Energy Center, where the concert was, and got ready for the concert.

The boys ran out onto the stage, and played Gotta Get Out, then did something a little different.

"So you guys know that it's Ashton's birthday, right?" Michael asked, and the crowd screamed in response.

"It's somebody else's birthday, too. You probably know her. She's actually the one that recruited Ashton to the band! You guys know who I'm talking about, Maddison Higgins!" Calum yelled.

They gestured for me to go out onto the stage and so did Talia. I walked onto the stage and people cheered.

"How about we sing for Ashton and Maddie?" Luke asked.

They started to sing, and it was really nice.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear Ashton and Maddie!

Happy birthday to you!

I got off of the stage after the song, and they finished up their show. The boys came off of the stage, first Calum, then Michael, next Luke, and finally Ashton. I ran to Ashton and jumped onto him. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and my arms were around his neck. His hands were on my bum, holding me up. We kissed, not thinking at all. We broke the kiss and looked over at the boys who's mouths were dropped open.

"Guys, it's not what it looks like," I started.

"Really? Because it looks like you and Ashton are dating behind our backs!" Luke yelled.

"We're sorry, guys," Ashton apologized.

"Why didn't you tell us, though?" Calum fired.

"We thought that you wouldn't support us, since we're on a tour and all.. I didn't think you'd want us together; maybe you'd think I was distracted," Ashton replied.

"Well, we would've supported you, but you lied to us!" Michael and the other boys stormed out of the room.

"I'm so sorry, Ashton. We should've told them."

"Babe, it's okay. I love you, and I don't care what they say," Ashton hugged me and stroked my hair.

"I love you too, Ash..." I kissed him, then we went after the boys. They were on the tour bus. We found them and talked to them.

"I'm sorry, Ashton, I was just so shocked" Luke apologized as well as Michael and Calum.

"How about we play 20 questions about our relationship, and we'll tell you anything and everything?" Ashton suggested.

"Okay," They agreed, and we were in the lounge room. Ashton and I were cuddling, while the boys were facing us.

"1. How long have you guys been dating?" Calum asked.

"Well, almost 5 months," I answered.

"WHAT?!?" They flipped out and jumped off the couch.

"Yeah, almost 5 months," Ashton confirmed.

"Oh, wow... I- never mind. Never mind," Michael was still shocked.

"Okay, 2. When and how did Ashton ask you out, Maddie?" Luke wondered, a question especially for me.

"Um, on February 13th, I had come home from my first day of school," I explained every detail.

"Wow, Ash! I didn't think you could come up with something like that, never mind actually do it!" Michael said, looking at Ashton and laughing.

"Well, I did, Michael" Ashton smiled at me.

"Anyways, 3. What was your first date?" Luke asked.

"We had a picnic, then went to a carnival, and took the long way home, well, the long way back to the hotel," Ashton replied and laughed, making me laugh too.

"4. How many dates have you guys had?" Michael wondered.

"Well, about 25 or more, I'd say" I answered this time.

"25?" Calum seemed surprised.

"Yeah, they were mostly midnight dates, when you guys were asleep," Ashton informed them.

"Okay, now the question everyone wants to know," Calum started and I knew what was coming, "5. Have you guys had sex yet?"

I looked at Ashton, and he looked at me. "No," we both shook our heads. It was too obvious that we were lying.

"Are you sure?" Michael was slowly prying it out of us.

"Okay, fine! Yes," Ashton blurted out. I smiled at him.

"We aren't gonna have any Ashton or Maddie Jrs around here, will we?" Luke looked at us.

"No promises..." I told them, and I giggled.

"Okay, good," Calum, Luke, and Michael said in sync, and they sounded annoyed.

"6. I really hope the answer is yes, but did you guys use protection?" Michael wondered. Ashton and I paused, not saying anything. We looked at each other for a while until the boys got impatient.

"Yes or no?" Michael was getting impatient.

"Yes," I was the one that said that, and the boys sighed.

"7. Are you guys sure Maddie isn't pregnant?" Luke asked.

"100%" I responded, and it's true. I had gotten my period since then, at least I thought I had. That made me think. Maybe the condom was slightly broken?

"Okay.." Michael thought I was lying.

"8. Who all knows about you guys?" Calum questioned.

"My mom, Danielle, Harry Styles, Anne Marie, Harry, Lauren, Tali-" I started listing, but Calum cut me off.

"TALIA KNOWS?" He yelled.

"Yeah, ever since Scotland..." I informed him.

"Oh my god! Why didn't she tell me?" He wondered.

"I told her not to tell anybody," I answered.

"Wow, okay, keep listing.. God, I'll have to talk to her about that."

"Talia, Saige, and Walker," I finished.

"Back to you guys having sex, 9. Were either of you virgins before?" Michael questioned.

"I was," I said, then Ashton answered, "I was too"

"Wow. Ashton, you- oh, yeah. Never mind," Michael said, and I got curious: why did he say it like that? Had Ashton lied to me?

"Ash," I nudged him, "why did he say it like that?"

"Don't worry, Madds. I was just joking around one time when we were back at home saying that I wasn't a virgin. I was lying though, and he probably forgot that," Ashton assured me. I nodded.

"10. Back in London, when we were in the hotel and you guys shared a room together," Luke was taking a long time to ask a simple question.

"Get on with it, Luke!" I exclaimed.

"Okay, did either of you really sleep on the floor?" He asked.

"Nope. We slept in the bed together," Ashton said, and I added, "fully clothed" to make sure.

"Okay, still in London, 11. Was it really an accident when you guys saw each other naked?" Calum wondered, perv.

"Yeah, it actually was. We both had come out of the shower while the other was in the room.." I answered.

"Okay, 12. When did you guys have sex?" Luke wondered.

"While you guys were in Miami and we were in Sunrise, so June 12th. And can we stop the questions about sex?" I answered then asked. I have no idea why they were so interested in Ashton's and my sex life!

"No. Anyways, 13. Have you had sex since?" Calum questioned.

"No" Ashton said, and I heard Calum mutter, "that's gonna change.."

"14. Off the sex topic, when did you guys first kiss?" Luke asked.

"That was actually in December. December 7th, 2011. I remember" I said, and Ashton looked at me like I was weird.

"What?" He said.

"Remember when I told you about my dad and you kissed me?" I asked.

"Oh yeah! That was amazing," He said.

"15. What do you think the other person's best feature is?" Michael asked.

"His hair. I love his hair" I answered, then Ashton whispered in my ear, "yeah cause you like to play with it when we-" I cut him off by elbowing him in the stomach. He groaned, then said, "I can't choose. Everything about her is beautiful"

I blushed, and he smiled. Calum asked the next question, "16. What do you like about the other persons personality?" Weird questions, but at least we were off the topic of sex.

"I like that Ashton is protective of me, but he's real sensitive. He could punch my ex boyfriend in the face, or cry with me about him." I said, and Ashton blushed. I liked his sensitive side.

"I like at Madds tells me anything and everything. I can trust her." He started, "she also gives really nice cuddles."

"17. What were you really doing this morning, Maddie, when you said that you were sleep walking?" Luke asked.

"I went over to Ashton's bunk at 11:59, then waited until it was 12 to say happy birthday to each other. Then, I slept with him, not in that way, until almost 6 when I went back to my bunk," I explained.

"Okay, another question for Maddie, 18. What are those on your neck?"Calum knew what they were, he just asked for no reason.

"Ashton, would you like to answer that?" I asked, then whispered, "I told you they would notice!"

He just laughed, knowing that they knew what they were. He finally said, "they're from last night."

"I thought you said that you haven't had sex since June," Calum said.

"We didn't have sex last night," I said.

"Then how did you get those love bites last night?" Calum wondered.

"You can get love bites without having sex," I said as if it were obvious, "we were just making out.."

"Okay, 19. When were you guys going to tell us?" Michael asked.

"At the right time, I guess," Ashton responded.

"Finally, 20. What's your favorite thing about dating each other?" Luke asked.

"I can't choose. There are so many things I love about Ashton and about dating him" I replied.

"I'm the same. There are too many amazing things about Madds" Ashton answered. Damn, I loved this boy.

"Well, that's all the questions. How about truth or dare?" Calum suggested.

"Okay," we all agreed.

"Maddie, truth or dare?" Michael asked.

"Dare," I responded.

"I dare you to.. close your ears and eyes and count to 20," he dared.

"Um, okay," I shrugged. I closed my ears and eyes, and then heard, "so how was it?" from Michael.

"What? Sex with Maddie?" Ashton asked.

"Yeah," Michael responded.

"Amazing. She was really good. She really knew what she was doing," I could literally hear the smirk on Ashton's face.

"Really?" Calum said.

"Yeah. It was like she had sex before," Ashton replied.

"Wow. She sounds great," I could tell Luke nudged Ashton. I got to 20, then took my hands off of my ears.

"You guys do know that I heard all of that, right?" I asked.

"Oh, um..." Ashton looked embarrassed.

"But thanks Ash," I looked at him and smirked.

He sort of smiled, half embarrassed. Then Michael said, "Ashton, truth or dare?"

"Dare," Ashton answered.

"I dare you to..." Michael started thinking, "go into your bunk with Maddie, alone, for 10 minutes,"

"Okay, easy enough," Ashton replied.

"You didn't let me finish," Michael started, "since its you guys' birthday, you will both go in the bunk..." He paused for effect, "naked."

Naked? I thought that's how we were going to do it anyways.
