Truth or Dare

                                    

                                          
*Ashton's p.o.v*
                          
"Well?" I heard Phoebe ask. "Is it Luke?"
                          
"Um, well, er... Yeah, maybe, kinda..." Alyssa's voice replied
                          
"Oh. My. God. I knew it!!" Phoebe squealed
                          
"Shhh!" Alyssa hushed. "I don't want to wake the lads!"
                          
"Sorry," Phoebe whispered. "You two would be such a cute couple!"
                          
"Thanks, but he would never like me like that," I heard Alyssa reply. I could hear the sadness in her voice and my heart went out to my twin sister. Then I remembered what Michael had said in the car yesterday... 
                          
"He definitely likes her,"
                          
If Luke liked Alyssa, and Alyssa liked Luke then something was bound to happen. It's not that I don't want my best friend and twin to date, it's just that if they breakup then it would be soooo awkward! I mean, I would still want to hang out with Alyssa, because let's face it, we're twins but I would obviously still hang out with the band. If things became awkward between Luke and Alyssa then we could never hang out all together again.
                          
Deciding I had heard enough, I opened the kitchen door and sauntered in, trying to act casual.
                          
"Good morning," I said, pretending to yawn, making it seem like I had just got up
                          
"Hey," Phoebe replied, smiling
                          
"Hiya," Alyssa answered. She too smiled at me, but I could tell that she was worried that I had heard everything. She wouldn't look straight at me and her smile didn't meet her eyes.
                          
"I didn't know you were up!" Alyssa said, trying to act normal
                          
"Yeah, but Luke, Cal and Mikey are still asleep," I replied
                          
"Wanna do something fun?" Phoebe asked Alyssa
                          
"What?" Alyssa asked, curiously 
                          
"It's really funny to wake the boys up in really harsh ways like jumping on them, or tearing the covers from the bed so they get really cold. Of course, it was once seriously awkward when I did that last one to Calum and he had decided to sleep naked the night before... We never bring that up though!" Phoebe replied. I grinned at the memory of both of them shrieking and Calum running away to the bathroom.
                          
"C'mon then!" Alyssa laughed.
                          
"There's three of us and three of them, so how about we take one each?" I suggested
                          
"Sounds good! I'll take Michael, of course," Phoebe replied
                          
"I'll get Calum and you get Luke, yeah?" I said to Alyssa
                          
"Yeah!! I mean, um, sure okay," Alyssa replied and I could tell she was backtracking to try and hide how excited she was.
                          
"Let's go then!" Phoebe cried
                          
Together, we tiptoed into the front room. Phoebe made her way over to Michael, ripped his duvet off and then proceeded to jump on top of him. I bent down low next to Calum's ear and carefully positioned my mouth right above his earlobe. I then yelled and screamed as loud as I could. Alyssa was sat on top of Luke was flicking him repeatedly on the forehead. Despite what I had thought before I couldn't help thinking that they would make a pretty cute couple...
                          
*Alyssa's p.o.v*
                          
I couldn't help but worry if Ashton had heard mine and Phoebe's conversation. I tried to act normal when he entered the kitchen but I don't think I fooled him, especially when I got so excited over the fact that I was the one who got to wake Luke up. It wasn't that I didn't trust Ashton to keep my secret, I just didn't want anyone to know. I was already regretting telling Phoebe.
                          
However, all that was pushed from my mind when we entered the front room. I knew for a fact that Luke had slept shirtless last night (oh come on, like you wouldn't notice that!) but I wasn't sure if he was fully naked. I was pretty sure that he was still in his boxers but if Ashton had heard my previous conversation with Phoebe, it would make it even more awkward then it already would be. Instead I decided to flick him awake, though I thought it would be much more fun to sit on him so he couldn't wriggle away.
                          
*Luke's p.o.v*
                          
I was awoken by someone sitting on me and flicking me on my head. I opened my eyes and saw Alyssa grinning down at me. God, I could wake up to that face every morning! I couldn't help smiling. I reached up and tickled Alyssa on her sides until she fell off my completely. I knelt up and continued tickling her until she reached her foot behind me and kicked the back of my knees. Taken by surprise, I fell forwards and landed on top of Alyssa, our noses touching. It I leaned in the slightest bit, I could've kissed her. I didn't though, instead I climbed off her and fell back on my bed.
                          
*Ashton's p.o.v*
                          
After we got the lads awake - they weren't too happy to be woken up like that and they swore they would have revenge - we had waffles for breakfast. Since the lads and Phoebe weren't expected home till later, we decided to play truth or dare.
                          
"Okay, Calum, truth or dare?" Michael asked
                          
"Dare," Calum replied
                          
"Okay.... Um, I dare you to eat a full teaspoon of Vegemite!" Michael laughed
                          
"You bastard!" Calum replied, jokingly and we all followed him to the kitchen. Cringing and gagging, Calum managed to eat the whole spoonful.
                          
"Mike, truth or dare?" Luke asked
                          
"Dare," Michael decided
                          
"Okay, I dare you to have seven minutes in heaven with Phoebe!" Luke laughed
                          
"You can use my cupboard upstairs," I offered
                          
"Cheers," Michael replied and the two of them left the room.
                          
Seven minutes passed and Luke went to fetch Michael and Phoebe. The pair came downstairs looking very hot and ruffled.
                          
"Have fun did we?" Calum laughed
                          
"Shut up!" Michael replied, giving Calum a kick.
                          
"Okay, Luke, truth or dare?" I asked
                          
"Umm, truth," Luke replied. I thought hard.. I had to play my cards right but there was no less blunt way of saying it.
                          
"Who do you like?" I asked
                          
Luke suddenly seemed very absorbed in his phone. 
                          
"I got a text from my mum, I have to go, she's expecting me home," Luke said, apologetically
                          
"Sure, okay, though I expect an answer on that question next time," I replied, grinning
                          
"Sure," Luke replied, kinda sadly, glancing at Alyssa, who didn't notice as she was in deep conversation with Phoebe 
                          
"Thanks for having me, I'll see you later guys," Luke waved and left the house. As he walked down the path, I swore I saw him drag a hand over his eyes, which is strange because in all the time I've known him, I think he's cried once.
                          
"I just forgot to ask Luke something, I'll be back in a second," I said quickly, running out the door.
                          
I found Luke sitting on a bench in the park just at the end of my street. He was facing away from me but I could still tell he was upset - his shoulders drooped and he hung his head.
                          
"Luke?" I said softly, moving towards him. He turned in surprise and I saw that he had tears in his eyes.
                          
"Are you okay?" I asked, sitting down beside him
                          
"It's Alyssa," Luke confessed. "The answer to your question... It's Alyssa,"
