***FLASHBACK TO AUGUST 2015***

We had just finished a show in the Rock Out With Your Socks Out Tour. We were staying in a hotel that night. All four of us were in one suite. Michael and Ashton were getting food, so Calum and I took advantage of being alone and were making out on a bed.

Michael and Ashton walked into the hotel room. Michael was walking in ahead of Ashton. After getting through the mini hallway that lead to the bedroom area, Michael saw us. For some reason, he felt the need to make sure that Ashton didn’t see us.

“Oh, God!” Michael said loudly. He then fell backwards, probably on purpose, knocking Ashton down to the ground with Michael.

I immediately rolled off the bed and toppled onto the ground. I didn’t necessarily feel like I had to hide from them, but I didn’t know if Megan or another manager was around or not.

“Sorry, mate.” Michael said to Ashton. “I tripped.”

“It’s fine, mate.” Ashton said back. Ashton got up and helped Michael up. He then walked over to see Calum looking guilty on the bed, and myself on the ground.

I figured he would connect the dots, but I didn’t feel like it would matter if Ashton knew.

Ashton never talked about it. We just moved on from that incident.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

“You really didn’t figure out what happened that day?” I asked Ashton.

“No.” Ashton responded. “I don’t even really remember that.”
