Sophia's point of view

"Ashton?" I asked and he hummed. "For that award show? Do I have to wear a dress or am I allowed to wear pants?" I asked and he looked at me.

"It's whatever makes you comfortable Sophia, and whatever covers what needs to be covered." He told me and I nodded. "Why?" He asked me.

"Because I don't want to make people mad by not wearing a dress." I said and he nodded. "Plus, if I needed a dress I'd have to buy one because I don't have a single dress or skirt."

"No, you won't make anyone mad. Just wear whatever you like, as long as it has black. That's the color we all need to have." He said and I nodded.

"Can you-Can you help find something? I'm bad at putting together outfits." I said and he shrugged. He turned the television off and then we went up to my room.

"Damn, your closet looks like ours." He said and I chuckled. "Well since black skinny jeans are a must, that really leaves the tops and shoes to pick out."

"Oh, this red sleeveless top. It's cute. Maybe I'll buy something like this for myself, but you know, made for a guy." He said and then handed me a red button up without sleeves. I set it on the bed, along with a pair of black skinny jeans, and he began to hum.

"And this leather jacket because it's be perfect. Leather goes with everything, even glitter and pink." He told me and handed me the jacket. I set it on the bed and he began singing a song. "God, you have more shoes than Calum."

"He and Michael did buy them all for me. I like a pair and they buy like five more." I told him and he laughed.

"Oh my god, you wear heels? They bought you heels? Won't you like twist your ankle in these? The heel is as long as my pinky." He said and showed me them. "You won't break your ankle in these?"

"Like I said, if I said I liked something, they bought it, no questions, no objections." I said and grabbed it. "I don't think so, I mean, it's not a really thin heel." I said.

"Try them. If you can walk in them you should wear them." I nodded and then unlaced and unzipped the boots. I pulled them on and then fixed them.

I stood up and he watched as I tried walking. "It's... it's weird." I said and he laughed. I closed my door and looked at myself. "I look like an idiot." I said and then laughed.

"Wear them to that dinner so you can have like extra practice in them." I thought about it and then looked down. I nodded and then looked at him.

"You have your outfit, now help me find one." I laughed and then nodded. I decided to keep these on so I can learn how to walk in them better and he laughed. He set a hand on my back and kept me up straight so I didn't fall.

"Thank you." He told me it wasn't a problem and I walked into his room. "Your room is actually clean, I'm surprised." I said and he chuckled as I went to his closet.

I grabbed on to the edge when I almost fell and Ashton just laughed at me. "Shut up. I'm new at this. I don't understand how other girls can wear these." I said and went into his walk-in closet.

"Damn," I said. "This is like every girl's dream closet." I laughed out as I saw it. "Wear this black blazer." I said as I saw it.

It was easy because he didn't have a lot to chose from. Unlike a girl, he didn't have crop tops and short shorts and leggings and heels. "Wear this too." I handed him a black button up and he laughed.

"I'm going in all black?"

"Yes." I told him and pointed at a pair of all black boots. "Those too. There, it's simple and it's effective." I said and he nodded.

"Fine. I'll wear it just because you picked it out." He said and I smiled. "Come on. We need t-"

The door bell rang and we looked at each other confused. I made my way out of his room and I could tell he was watching me so I don't fall. I went up to the door and looked through the peep-hole. I saw a familiar blonde and then opened the door.

"Makenna, what's up?" I asked and she looked up at me. I was taller, but in heels I was even taller.

"Growth spurt much?"

"More like heels loner than your boyfriend's di-damn fingers." I said, remembering Ashton was here. She laughed and smiled.

"My mum wanted to tell you guys to be there in an hour. Also, um, Derrick will be there too but he's not staying until dinner." She told us and I nodded. "See you soon."

"See you." I said and she nodded. She walked away and I closed the door. "Wow, I have to get dressed like now."

"Di-Damn fingers huh?"

"Shut up." I said and we both laughed. "I'm going to go get dressed Ashton, I'll be down in a bit." He nodded and I made my way up to my room, only having to grab the wall about four times while I was on the stairs.

I went to my room and then took the heels off, sighing in relief as I was level on the floor. I went to my bathroom and then brushed out my hair. I quickly washed my face and then went to my closet.

I grabbed a tight black tank-top and then put it on after I took the shirt I had off. I grabbed a pair of high-waisted light washed skinny jeans off and then put them on.

When I finished, I quickly put the damn heels on again. Once I finished, I stood up again then went to the closet, grabbing a sleeveless black button-up.

As I was buttoning the shirt up, I walked downstairs and grabbed my phone off of the table. I put it in my pocket and then groaned as I realized I forgot to put some deoderant on.

I have to walk all the way up those damn stairs again. That's like for the eighth time today.

I walked back up the stairs and went to my room. I rolled on some deoderant and then threw a bunch of bracelets on one wrist. I remembered seeing a shit ton of bandanas in Ashton's room and I smiled.

"Ashton?" I called out and walked out of my room. "Can I borrow a black bandana?" I called out and he poked his head out from behind his door.

"Yeah, hold on. Let me put my pants on first." I scrunched my face up in disgust and then nodded. Sure, he was attractive -anyone could see that- but I didn't need to know he didn't have pants on yet.

After a minute or two, he walked out and then handed me a folded bandana. "Need me to tie it?" I nodded and he walked over. I lifted my hair up and he tired it quickly. "There. Now let me put a shirt on and I'll be done." I nodded and he walked back to his room.

He has nice abs to be honest.

I pulled my bangs out from under the bandana and pushed it up slightly. I made my way downstairs with minimal stumbling and wall grabbing, then took a a seat on the couch.

I fixed my bracelets and then Ashton came down as he tugged a grey blazer closed. "Come on," I nodded and then stood up. I followed him out the front door and then laughed.

"You're so dressed up for a simple dinner." I said and he told me he just wanted to look good. I rolled my eyes and walked out of the front door. He locked the door and I made my way to Makenna's house.

I rang the doorbell and then Makenna opened the door. "Dammit babe, st-oh, it's you." I heard a male voice and I grit my teeth a bit as I saw him behind Makenna.

"Hi Ashton, Sophia." She said and I smiled. "Come in." We walked in and I could feel eyes on me. "Um, dinner won't be ready for maybe twenty min-minutes. Ash, my mum is in the living room if you want to go and talk to her a bit."

She walked Ashton to the living room, leaving me with her dick of a boyfriend. "You look hot."

"And you look like you can start using shampoo." I said, pushing him away. "Also a breath mint." I said and held my nose.

"Don't be that way babe-"

"Don't tell me what to do." I said and pulled my hand out of his grasp. "And don't call me babe if you want to keep whatever you have in those pants of yours."

"Why don't you find out what I have in these pa-"

"Why don't you fuck off?" I asked with a fake smile. "I am not interested, nor will I help someone cheat."

"You know you want me."

"Yeah, I do want you," I said and batted my eyelashes at him. A smirk grew on his face and I glared at him. "To back the fuck off."

"What are you? Lesbian or something?"

"If not being interested in you makes me a lesbian, then damn right I am." I said and Makenna walked back over to us. "Yo." I said and she chuckled.

"Even when I'm in heels I'm still so much shorter than you." She said as she stood in front of me and I chuckled.

"I have heels too, that's why." She nodded and then Derrick grabbed her, forcing her into a kiss. I rolled his eyes at him and then Makenna pulled away from him gasping.

"No."

"Come o-"

"No means no okay?" I said and grabbed Makenna, pulling her softly away from him. I didn't want to hurt her. "When a girl says no, respect her wishes okay? Don't force her into stuff. Also, when she's not interested, stop." I said to him and Makenna grabbed my wrist.

"I'll see you later babe." He said to Makenna and attempted to wink at her. He walked out and I grimaced at him, pretending to gag a bit aswell.

"Don't-Don't call me that." Makenna mumbled right before the door closed. "Um, come on, let's go up to my room."

I nodded and followed her up the stairs to her room. "I basically walked like ten flights of stairs today." I said and she laughed. "The heels aren't helping either."

"Usually the first time it's a bit hard and you stumble a lot." She told me and she opened the door to her room.

"How'd you know it was my first time in heels?" I asked her after she told me I could sit on the chair by the desk. I took the seat gladly and she just chuckled.

"Oh, you know, I just stalk you and know everything about you." She joked and I laughed.

"I thought I felt someone staring in my window while I tried sleeping." I played and long and she shrugged her cardigan off. "You look cute." I said and then blushed. "Like, your outfit is really cute."

"Thank you." She said and she was blushing too. "I like pink and white so I just threw this on." She flattened her skirt out and I nodded.

"Have you found out what you're wearing for the award show?" I asked her and she nodded. She stood up and went to her closet. She grabbed a really adorable pale pink skirt like the one she has on now and then a pair of black heels.

"I'm also putting on like those thigh high socks that end a little under the hem of the skirt and a black button up, like the one you have but with sleeves." She told me and I nodded, pushing up my bandana. "What are you wearing?"

"Black skinny jeans with a red button up and a black leather jacket." She nodded and I pointed to my heels. "These too." I said and she laughed.

"Don't trip when you get there."

"You have no faith in me." I joked and she laughed while nodding. "I won't fall, by the time the show comes I'll be strutting down all badass." I said and she shook her head and she set the outfit aside.

"Should we leave at the same time?" She asked me. "We could arrive and walk into the place together with the guys." She told me and I shrugged.

"Girls, dinner is ready. Mr. Irwin and Mrs. Santana are already at the table." A lady said and Makenna thanked her. "Mrs. Santana cooked." Makenna nodded slowly and the lady walked off.

"That's Lucy, our maid." Makenna told me and I nodded. "She does all the hard work around here and no mater what, she doesn't let me help her." She sighed as we walked out of her room.

"Does she at least get days off to see her family and everything?" I asked her as we walked down the stairs.

"Her kids are in college and her husband left. However, she gets my mum's days off, the weekend basically." I nodded and she lead me to the kitchen were her mum and Ashton were.

"So, you're the manager?" Ashton asked, sounding genuinely interested in the conversation. "That's cool, but isn't it stressful having so much to deal with, plus having your daughter to take care of?"

"It is, but I can handle it. I mean, I have to. This job is what supports us and I can't just let stress get to me. Besides, it's nothing a massage, some red whine, and chocolate can't fix." She told him and took a drink of some golden liquid.

"Sophia, Makenna, you're here. Take a seat girls. We've been waiting for you two." Her mum said and she smiled at me. "How are you today dear?"

"I'm good, thank you. A bit uncomfortable from these heels but I'm managing." She laughed and agreed that heels can get a bit uncomfortable after awhile.

"How's school you two? Getting good grades? Making good friends?" Ashton asked, sounding a lot more mature than he normally did. Fuck, I think he was drinking champagne out of a whine glass too.

Don't get all grown up and sophisticated on me Ashton. Please.

"Yes." Makenna said and I agreed. "I'm passing all of my classes, even my ballet, which I have a recital coming up." She said and I looked at her. "Can you make it? It's after you get out of work on Wednesday." She pointing the question to her mum.

"I'll try darling." Her mum said and Makenna nodded. "Makenna, Ashton, his band, and Sophia are going to that same award show you're going to."

"I know, we were talking about it earlier. I was just showing Sophia what I was going to wear." Makenna said and I nodded.

"Instead of your cousin taking you, why don't you just go with them? After all, we both know him and his terrible smoking habits. I don't want you in a smoke filled car." She told her and we looked at her.

"I suppose that would be okay." She said, playing with her food. "As long as its okay with them." She said and I looked at Ashton.

"That's fine, of course. We talked about it earlier." Ashton said and I smiled. "Also, this is really good Charlotte." Ashton told her and she blushed.

"Thank you, I actually cooked it. Um, it was my family's recipe and I thought I'd whip it out for tonight." Her mum said and I looked at Makenna.

"They seem to actually like each other." I whispered to her. She nodded and looked at me, a bit surprised.

"My mum doesn't get into guys too quickly or cook." She whispered back. I looked at the two who were talking about their family's and I looked at her.

"What if... what if they start dating?" I asked her and her eyes grew wide. She played with her food and then looked at me.

"No, my mum told me she hasn't dated since my dad left her at age sixteen. She wouldn't just start dating like that."

"That's terrible, like that was a really dick move of him." I heard Ashton say. "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't like swearing. It's just, I got mad."

"It's okay, don't worry about it. Um, it's in the past." Makenna's mum said and I looked at them. "Besides, it's just one small word and an American sports store." She said and Ashton laughed, nodding.

"Oh my god," Makenna said and looked at me. "My mum is into your dads' band mate."

"Fuck."

"Watch your language Sophia, profanity is not allowed." Ashton scolded and I apologized. I didn't mean to say it so loud.

"Fuck." I said, way quieter this time and Makenna laughed a bit as she took a bite of her food.

I don't believe in God, but dear God please don't ever allow Makenna to be sad. She's too amazing to ever be sad. Please.
