Chapter eighty one

Michael's pov

I've been trying to convince Ashton to come to class for the past twenty minutes, we're already late "Ashton, this is uni! it's important. Maybe we should wait until the dean has spoken to Polly. It's not worth failing" I felt for him, I really did, I can't imagine how horrible it must be, his phone has been blowing up with messages from everyone wanting to find out more of what happened "Michael I don't care, I'm not going." "then neither am I. If we're failing this course, we fail together" I said, I wasn't going to step foot in that classroom without him "no Michael, that's not fair on you" he said with a sigh "well I'm not going" I stubbornly said, I knew he'd cave in eventually if I kept using this method "don't be like that, I don't want you missing out on your education from my stupid mistake." "I honestly couldn't give a fuck about my education anymore. I only care about you" I said and held his hand gently, it wasn't his fault, he was taken advantage of "look..Michael that's sweet, I get where you are coming from, I really do. But it's not fair on you, I don't want you missing out" he said with a sigh, a text nofication coming from his phone interrupted our conversation, he glanced down at his screen and looked at me with confusion "Polly isn't there.." he said, she isn't?? thank god! I assume one of the boys texted him that "well let's go! Make the most of what we can" I said and planted a kiss upon his hand "I guess.." Ashton replied wearily but a blush forming on his cheeks from my touch.

We went into class, half an hour late, I thought we would have been told off but this substitute teacher seemed very chill "how nice of you to join us! don't worry about being late, half the class was late cause they don't like Polly. But my name is Wendy and I'm cooler than Polly!" she said with a friendly smile as Ashton and I sat down by the boys "oh..okay.. alright?" Ashton said "yes I'm alright! how are you sweetheart? I've heard you're a great performer"  she said, I smiled, she seemed lovely "yeah he's amazing" I agreed, he was incredible "oh thank you..that's kind" Ashton replied, looking a little taken back at a genuine kind compliment from a teacher, he held my hand gently under the gable and I gave it a reassuring squeeze.

The class went well, it was nice to have a reassuring calm lesson for once, however there was a 😶 sidetrack, some of the students thought it would be funny to start shouting "TEA TEA TEA" when Wendy explained that Polly was talking to the Dean, fairplay to her though, she made sure those immature 'classmates' shut the hell up, rightly so, it wasn't tea, it was a horrible horrible situation. We all got back to the flat and hung out in the living room together "she was actually really nice" Luke said and put Calum on his lap "yeah she was" Ashton agreed and sipped on his herbal tea, man he is so fucking cute, I put my gaze on my lover "I love the way she stuck up for you, even the fact she didn't mention your name was still respectful" I said, she must have known Ashton is the student that is the talk of the school about this issue but she was mature and didn't name drop, most teachers would. "I agree, fairplay to her" Luke agreed "yeah..I wasn't expecting that" Ashton said. We were able to get peace and quiet for a little while, turns out the twin twats told us that their ex's broke up with them, so now Ashton and I have the same ex's as the twins, well that's just lovely isn't it? gag. As always, things got messy, it always did with them around, there was screaming, there was threats, insults thrown in all directions, until finally the twins gave up and left the room, the rest of us decided to go back into our rooms too, we were all in need for some peace, quiet and of course, cuddles.

I always adored being alone with Ashton, it was never awkward, I'm so glad he's mine. We went out for some cigarettes before we went into bed and cuddled, the nicotine was well needed after that drama with the twins, especially when Ross and Kyle came into the room too, it's all a blur really but heck it always does seem to be these days but I do remember when Ashton and I came back, we had to clean up some broken glass, fuck knows what was broken, who knows who did it, I don't think I even want to know. "You know what cleaning up that mess reminds me of?" Ashton said as we cuddled peacefully in bed "what?" I asked curiously as I softly tightened my grip around his waist "on one of the first days of uni, when the twins first starting picking on us and I threw the vase at the wall" he said with a chuckle and smiled "but then you calmed me down" he said fondly, I giggled at the bittersweet memory "oh god yes I remember that, and I put your cute little glasses back on you" I said "that was adorable..you had my back from day one" he said and stroked my hand "that's because I was so amazed by you, I love you.." I said and looked him in the eyes before kissing him passionately, he kissed back, making my heart skip like crazy "I love you too..so much"  he said and we began to kiss again, a romantic yet steamy makeout formed between us two "my gorgeous boy is eager for some kisses" I mumbled into the kiss and travelled my lips down to his neck "always, you're irresistible" Ashton said and placed a trail of kisses down my chest "the way you shower me with kisses" I said gently and whimpered softly "you deserve the best baby, you always do" he said, the beautiful atmosphere leading us to passionate sex.

We embraced each others touch after making love, silence surrounded us, just the sounds of us breathing filled the peaceful room, Ashton's phone chimmed, he glanced at the screen "what the fuck is this btec grammar" he mumbled confused whilst looking at the screen, I raised an eyebrow and looked at what he meant, it was an email from the dean, which was nerve wracking enough but Jesus did he not know how to write a proper email?

"Hi Ashton can u come to my office at 5' o clock please thanks from the dean"

"Fucking hell" I muttered, Ashton sighed "now I'm stressed again, his shitty email ruined the mood" Ash said "want me to go with you?" "no..no it's okay..it shouldn't take too long" Ashton said and sat up slowly, I missed his touch already "well..text me if you need me okay?" I said, personally I would have wanted to go with Ashton but I know how much he doesn't want me to worry or stress about it, I just couldn't help it, he nodded and kissed my cheek "promise we can have more cuddles when I get back?" he asked, I pecked his lips "gladly babe..you are going to be treated like a prince when you get back" "you're a little angel..thank you Mike" "be a brave man for me yeah?" I said and held his hands, I can't imagine how nervous he must feel right now "for you" he whispered and kissed my hands "good luck babe" I said and gave him a good luck/farewell kiss, he kissed back "I love you.." he said as he looked at me with various mixed emotions and left the room, the dean didn't give him much notice at all, 5'o clock was literally five minutes away "I love you too.." I said back even though he had left the room by now, I wish he heard me.

I decided to go into the living room and try and do some coursework, staying in my room alone would only make me feel worse. Every second Ashton was in that room really made me wish I was there with him, I wonder what was being said, who was the dean siding with? what if Ashton gets kicked out? so many rushing thoughts were going through my brain I couldn't focus on my work at all, I barely even noticed that Calum and Luke had come into the room until I heard Luke say "oioi Mike!" "oh hey.." I said and put my work down, looking at the two but noticing that Luke was carrying Calum, interesting.."you guys okay? Calum you have legs. Why's he carrying you?" I asked, I was extremely on edge but I wanted to at least try and have a conversation to attempt to get my mind of it, although I knew that would be impossible "what? no no nevermind that, what's with you? you look..on edge" Calum said looking concerned as the two of them sat down on the sofa opposite me, I take it that the boys had sex and Calum's ass is too sore to walk bluntly, Luke frowned "yeah, you alright bro? where's Ash? you guys haven't argued have you?" he asked with worry "no! we are fine..but he's..in the dean's office.." I said slowly, a tense and stressful atmosphere filled the room "fuck..surely things will be fine right? the dean wouldn't believe her over him" Luke said "I think he'll be fine!" Calum said trying to stay positive "I gotta agree with Cal, Polly took advantage of his vulnerable side, anyone can see that. Try not to worry too much bro" Luke said and patted my shoulder reassuringly "I swear to god if she gets away with this, I'll be the student from hell in her class. I'll make her life a misery." I said and clenched my jaw "but she can't? surely she can't?" Calum questioned "cmon lads, we can't think like that. Polly is evil but surely she'd own up to something like that" Luke said, I really hope that Luke is right.

But I can't help but have this twisted feeling in my stomach that it's not going to be that simple, please god let her get fired, get into trouble at least. I beg that Ashton's okay, I can't let him get taken away from me, I just can't.
