Ashton

I smiled so hard as Cordae pulled the chair closer to my bed.

"How you been best friend?" He ask sounding genuine and I have a quick flashback of the discussion that put me in the hospital and my body jerks violently at the thought.

"Honestly nothing probably dusty in my room thats all." I shrug trying to play off the feeling ripping through my body.

He didn't respond he just stared at me and i avert my gaze to the flowers he got me. I never had nobody buy me flowers before so it tugged at my heart strings.

"You like them?" He ask smirking and i smile at him.

"Yes I'd never think you would be buying me flowers and i would actually be happy about it." I admit and frown immediately hearing that mushy shit leave my mouth.

I mentally slapped myself to snap out of it and cleared my throat.

"Ashton I honestly want to be there for you, I actually have a lot of questions to ask you, I want to learn more about you...... If you would just drop this guard you got towards me." He says leaning closer to me making my heart race.

Why is he saying this?

"Cordae there is nothing special about me I told you I'm just somebody side baby getting raised by the wife." I mumble messing with one of the flower petals.

"No Ashton stop please stop keeping me in the dark." He pleads and i roll my eyes getting irritated that he was pushing the issue.

"Cordae stop digging it is not your business." I say feeling my heart thudding heavier.

"Im trying to understand you." He replies.

"Why its not like we is fucking sir so stop asking questions like a simp." I growl trying my best to not curse him out.

"Ashton why do you do that? Every time I'm genuinely trying to get to know you you push me away! What could you be hiding that you wont let me in and you call me best friend." He explains and i stare at him in annoyance.

Is this bitch catching feelings?

"Cordae you are not my nigga i dont have to tell you nothing about my past." I say smacking my teeth.

"See what i mean are you even listening to yourself Ashton I want to know the real. Thats all I heard what happened before and it explains partially why you do things the way you do. I want to help you find peace."

I blinked several times trying to process what he just said.

"What do you mean you heard about before? What the fuck are you talking about!" My hands started to feel clammy.

A moment of silent washes over the room and it was so uneasy my stomach was clinched in notes in fear on what was said about me.

"Ashton its because Zion told me what happened to you when it were younger! About you ending up in the hospital at a very young age from abuse and neglect." He final blurts out and i could feel all the heat vanish from my body and was replaced with an icy feeling.

I froze like a deer caught in headlights.

"He did what?" I groan angry as hell covering my face. No my brother did not tell someone my personal business.
