Your Boyfriend Cheats and He is Angry (Ashton)

"Ashton, I just want to say thank you so much for setting this up with me. Alex has no idea that I’m even in town. This will probably be the greatest birthday surprise ever." You chat to your best friend, who shrugs.

You’re both in your living room; there’s nothing but a few candles lit. About 15 other people, including Ashton’s bandmates and some of Alex’s close friends, have gathered to celebrate.You’re planning on throwing a surprise party for him, and now you’re just waiting for him to arrive.

"You’re my best friend. Of course I’d help you." He sounds distant as he says it, but you ignore him and instead hear Calum yell."His car is pulling up! Everyone, positions! And blow the candles out!" 

You pull Ashton beside you behind a couch, and wait as the sounds of shuffling and murmurs turn into silence. The candles go out, and it’s pitch black. The sounds of a key in the lock make your heart pound as you fill with excitement. “This is it, Ash,” you whisper to Ashton. He squeezes your hand lightly in response. Finally, the door swings open, and the lights switch on.

You and everyone else burst out of your positions, yelling “Surprise!” Alex pulls away from the girl he was making out with moments before. Your heart drops, and you stand in shock and your lip trembles. “Alex?”

He waves his hands at you in defence. “Y/N? You weren’t meant to be back until…” His hands drop by his sides as everyone begins to murmur quietly. The girl looks at everyone shiftily, before nodding over at Alex and leaving hurriedly. “I can’t believe this…” You feel your eyes fill up with tears.

The guests look at you awkwardly. “I think it’s probably better if we leave…like now.” Luke says. Calum and Michael nod in agreement and the guests leave quickly. 

Michael stops at the door. “Coming, Ash?” He motions over at the door. You glance over at Ashton, and in your blurred vision you see him tremble before shaking his head. Michael shrugs and leaves. 

 ”A-Ashton?” You stare at your best friend, trying to focus despite the tears in your eyes. He’s angry like you’ve never seen him before. Alex seems to shrink under his glare. Ashton strides over to where Alex is beginning to cower. “Hey, look man. I didn’t mean any trouble.” 

 ”Leave now.” Ashton growls. You feel a lump in your throat as Alex stands up straight. 

 ”This is my house too, you know.” Alex replies, although his eyes betray his true feelings. He already knows he doesn’t belong. 

Ashton grabs Alex by his shirt, shoving him against the wall. “I’ve loved Y/N for nearly 5 years! I supported her through every bump in your fucking relationship! I was the one handing her tissues and telling her it was okay every time you fucked up! And it doesn’t even mean jack shit to you in the end!” Ashton roars, his balled fist landing in Alex’s face. Alex falls to the ground before quickly scrambling to his feet and opening the door.

 ”You’re fucking crazy!” He screams as the door slams shut. Now it’s just you and Ashton. He turns to you and you shudder at his expression. He visibly softens and makes a beeline for you, cupping your face in his hands. 

 ”You love me, huh?” You try to get your head around the words that Ashton was yelling moments ago. “What do you mean by that?” Ashton presses his lips against yours without hesitation. He moves in sync with your body as you kiss back, and you pull away gently. 

 ”Do you love me, Y/N?” He looks into your eyes steadily. 

 ”I do. I love you so much.”
