Ashton:
                          
"Mate, have you seen Ashton?" Calum asked as he pulled Michael a side into the kitchen, Michael stumbling in with a drink in his hand. "Not since we arrived why?" Michael asked confused taking a sip from his cup. "I'm just nervous that he'll end up in a corner and cry or such thing as that." Cal explained as they both were standing in the doorframe of the kitchen, looking out at the massive crowd of people either dancing, drinking or talking to each other. "This plan is terrible how the hell did I came up with this idea, there's no way they're gonna get back together at a party." Cal almost moaned scratching his eyes. "I don't even think Y/N is here." "Y/N? She's been here for over half an hour, I talked to her earlier, she was standing outside last time I saw her." Michael said, pointing towards the porch where smokers or people who just wanted some fresh air were hanging out. "And guess who's stumbling over at the drinking table." Michael snickered whilst pointing, Calum following his finger to see it pointing towards the back of a sudden curled haired lad. They both didn't hesitate to sprint over to Ashton, pushing through people. "Ash where've you been all night?" Cal asked as they both approached him, Ashton holding onto a bottle with bluish liquid, filling up a small shot cup. "A little bit here and a little bit there." He shrugged not taking his eyes away from the cup, staring deeply onto it not wanting to spill. "How much of them have you been drinking?" Michael asked referring to the cup in Ash's hands making the curly haired boy shrug before he placed the bottle down. "Open your mouth." Cal demanded making Ashton shake his head stubbornly. "Ashton." He said in a serious tone, looking deadly at Ashton, Michael staring intensely at him as well making Ash stick his tongue out slowly, the blue color on it indicating that he had been drinking far too much from that bottle. "God this is not how I planned it should be." Calum mumbled rolling his eyes as Ash drowned down the shot. "Guys I'm fine." Ashton giggled placing the cup on the table before turning around to look at the crowd, himself swaying lightly grabbing onto Michaels arm for support. "Okay maybe the world is spinning a smaller bit but that's the part of the roller coaster of life isn't it guys?" Ashton giggled, letting out a hiccup afterwards. "Sweet Jesus." Calum said whilst shaking his head as Michael and him were holding onto Ashtons arms, directing him outside to one of the benches. "What do we do?" Calum asked looking up at Michael. "I can't drive." He mumbled looking at Ashton, him trying to focus but failing badly. "I can't either." Cal said taking his phone out from his pocket, going through his contact list. "Shit Y/N's coming, gotta act normal." Ashton said sitting up straight in a salute position, Michael and Calum turning around to see you approaching them. "I just came to say goodbye. Thanks for inviting me." You smiled giving Calum a side hug. "You're welcome." Calum answered looking at Ashton's now depressed face expression, you now giving Michael a hug. As you pulled apart you looked hesitating at Ashton, noticing the redness in his eyes. "What's wrong with him?" You asked. "He's wasted as hell. We're trying to get him home but it's too late to call someone and everyone else isn't sober enough." Michael explained ruffling Ashton's curls. "I can uhm- take him home." You mumbled avoiding Ashton's pleading eyes, the two boys staring at you with joy in their eyes. "You're serious?" Cal asked surprised by your suggestion. "Why not. I haven't been drinking much. Gonna take the car anyways." You shrugged. "As long as you guys can help me get him into the car." You said and not far after the boys grabbed Ashton by his arms. "Come on boy, we're getting you home now." Calum smiled, a small hope for the two of you get some alone time might happening. "Act appropriate" Cal whispered into Ashton's ear as they were walking over to your car
                          
Luke:
                          
"Shit." You cursed as yet another child ran past you making you stop in track in front of you, trying to stabilize the tray with drinks you were holding. Rolling your eyes by the kid you started to walk again, walking over to the table that had ordered the drinks. Placing the drinks in front of each person you let out a smile before saying enjoy. Walking back to the bar you placed the tray on top of the others, letting out a deep sigh. "I hate family gatherings." You mumbled more to yourself than your employee Rhonda but she did heard and Rhonda let out a giggle. "Mood up Y/N." She laughed hitting you with the tea towel she was holding. "It's just not my day." You shrugged looking outside the window of the shop, the streetlights being the only thing illuminating besides the light that were placed on the tables where people were sitting either drinking alcohol or coffee. "You haven't really been yourself lately." She confessed as she was filling the coffee machine up with beans. "I guess not." You mumbled, grabbing a new tray before placing 4 cups on it. "Talked to Quiffo since that day?" She asked more quietly and you only shook your head at her, and she nodded her head. "Hey I've seen that mock of locks before." Rhonda said all of the sudden making you look up from the tray, looking outside as well and spotted Ashton immediately. "What is he doing here?" She asked placing a hand to her hip. "I don't know and I don't care." You said in a fast tone before filling the 4 cups with coffee, taking the tray before you sprinted over to the persons who had ordered it. Ashton came in through the door, taking seat at one of the barstools in front of Rhonda. "Hey can you tell me if Y/N's at work today?" He asked, and she didn't say anything, just pointed towards you standing in front of one of the tables, taking an order. "How's he?" Rhonda asked, and Ashton knew by the look in her eyes who she was asking about. "Devastated." He admitted. "Just like her." She answered and Ashton's eyes widen in surprise. "We gotta do something." He whispered leaning over the counter, afraid that you'll be there any second and she nodded her head. "I have an idea. Get Rockstar over here after we close. I'll get Y/N dressed into some more appropriate than our uniform. I'll get Muso to make some food for them out in the kitchen and then we'll place them at some tables further down in the shop." She explained pointing towards where the lights were more dimmed and a more in a more cut off room. "Wauw. Better than what I was thinking." Ash said impressed whilst nodding his head. He smiled at her before standing up from the bar stool. "Want some coffee with you?" Rhonda asked already mixing Ashton a latte. "Can't say no to that. Thanks." He smiled before grabbing the cup walking out from the shop. As you saw Ashton walk out of the door you went back to the bar, looking curiously at Rhonda. "What did he want?" You asked, as you stood next to her placing the empty tray in your hands on the counter. "Coffee. Not a surprise." She said with a wink, looking up at the clock. "What are you doing later?" Rhonda asked all of the sudden making you cock an eyebrow. "Comparing to the fact that we close at 11pm and its Tuesday, nothing?" You asked confused and she nodded her head at your words. "I bought a dress here this morning before I went to work. The size is actually a little too small for me so I think you should try it. I have it in a bag in our back room." She smiled before taking a new tray, placing 2 cups on it. "Sure." You smiled before seeing new people coming in through the door. Taking the notepad from the counter you gave her one last smile before walking over to the table they had placed themselves at.
