Touring with 5SOS

Seventeen: Love Bites

MADISON'S POV

As soon as Michael asked what was on my neck I gulped. I could just feel the color drain from my face at the four pairs of eyes attacking my neck.

"Is that what you were doing all night?" Luke spits and I shake my head, climbing out of the pool and fiddling with my fingers. Luke is back to being mad with the boys.

I follow them inside, and they tell me to change and come back downstairs. I frantically went up to stairs, changing into just some spandex and a tank top. I quickly examine the bruises James left on my neck, seeing only one. The ones on my collarbones are still covered, so I wipe the makeup off of them. I decide that the boys seeing all of them at once if they're gonna findout anyways is best.

I carefully walk down the stairs and back into the kitchen, seeing four angry boys and I look at the floor. I understand they're upset, but we were just kissing.

"Lift your head up, why the fuck are there more?" Calum walks over to me, lifting my head up and tracing the marks on my collarbones. I hesitantly remove his hand from my neck, and he grabs my wrist and takes me further into the kitchen.

"Care to explain why you have three hickey's on you Madison?" Ashton lifts his face out of his hands.

"Well uh they're more of love bites actually but-" I stop myself there, not wanting to make the boys anymore angry than they already are. "Yeah, I'll explain. I'll just give you the short version I guess."

Michael and Luke's eyes haven't once left the marks on my body, they look the most infuriated by this. "Well you see, it's actually a funny story. Brianna and Josh locked James and I in a storage closet for like an hour because they've been trying to set us up." I laugh, but quickly stop when the boys don't say anything. "We just kissed and did this. Promise." I try to reassure them.

"Give us details Madison. I'm sure you told Brianna all about it." Michael rolls his eyes in annoyance and anger.

"Well actually I haven't told anyone about it. I uh- I'm not really comfortable with that." I try to say to them.

"Sure looks like you were comfortable doing it." Luke snaps and I nod.

"Details," I sigh. "Got it." so I tell them. Everything that happened in the closet. Even the part where I rolled my hips to get a reaction out of him, and the love bites were to get a reaction from me. They at least seem happy that I told them the truth, but they're furious.

"How topless were you Madison?" I swallow slowly.

"We were both just topless. But I um, I was only wearing my bikini and had no shirt, so I guess that my bikini top came off?" the boys are trying to be more calm about this than they usually are, but I'm extremely uncomfortable. I wish they would yell at me and tell me to go to my room actually.

"Are you two together again?" Calum asks and I shake my head. "Well are you planning on getting back together?"

"Not really. I told him a while back that I just wanted to stay friends. I don't know what happened." I hum, only to fill the awkwardly silent air.

"So you're just fuck buddies?" Luke scoffs at me and I shake my head.

"We don't- I've never- I'm a- we just kiss okay? You can't possibly tell me that you've never just kissed people with no intention of dating them after." I try to even out the playing field.

"That's different Madison." Calum says with grit teeth.

"Oh why? Because you're boys? So you can go out and make out with girls and be fine, but the girls are sluts? Or you can go out all the time after concerts, leaving me to do more schoolwork on the bus and get hammered while making out with random girls, and fucking groupies?" I say quietly, not wanting to upset them more but wanting to state my opinion.
