All Alone (Aston Merrygold)

Complications

Charlotte's POV

"Well, I guess that's it." I cried as my granny hugged me, she was also crying. My grandad had died yesterday and we were both in a state.

"Oh, dear, We all knew he was ill." she whimpered as I squeezed her tighter. "I love you, dear." she whispered.

"Love you too, granny." I said pulling away. It was 8:35am and school was about to start. Granny drove me as I was upset.

I stepped into the school and the bell went so I went straight to form and no sign of JJ. I walked in a few minutes late and I wasn't in the mood to be told so. "Charlotte, your 5 minutes late!" Mr Jeffery gets all uptight when students are late.

"Do I look like I give a crap?" I said, sitting down next to Aston who looked at me shocked.

"Miss Thompson, what do you think your saying?" He asked, surprised.

"Look I'm not in the mood, just carry on rambling." I said, kicked my feet onto the desk.

"Charlie, what's gotten into you?" Ast said. I burst out crying and he hugged me.

"My grandad died yesterday. All I have left is my granny." I cried into Aston's chest.

"Shh. Its ok. Shh." he comforted me. Aww, he is so sweet.

"Charlotte, are you ok?" Mr Jeffery asked as I looked up and wiped away my tears.

"I'm fine." I said, with a fake smile. Aston put an arm around my shoulder and I smiled. This was nice.

Break...

"Hey, you feeling better?" Lily asked me.

"Yeah, a lot better." I said as I looked over to Aston who was talking to JJ. They must have been having a big argument, it looked like they were shouting. Lil and I walked over to them.

"Hey, is everything ok?" I asked.

"No, you should know." JJ said, glaring at me. "Traitor!" He hissed at Aston.

"We are not going out!" Ast shouted.

"We most definitely are not!" I added but I was saying in my head 'Oh I wish!'

"See. We are just friends." Aston said, calmly.

"Explain this." JJ held his phone up to us and there was a picture of the back of Aston and I when he put his arm around me and one of him hugging me when I was crying.

"We are not going out. It was a friendly hug." we shouted together.

"Really? Well, consider our friendship over, Aston." JJ walked off shouting for Brad as he went but Brad stayed with us.

"So, you two are really not going out?" Brad asked.

"No, just friends." I sighed as Brad smirked.

"Do you like whales?" He asked me as I answered.

"Yeah, why?"

"Let's go hump back at my place." He giggled and I just stared at him, I wasn't in the mood for his jokes and pathetic chat up lines.

"Brad, not now bruv, yeah." Ast said as he walked away.

"What, Ast? That was a great one." Brad shouted after Aston and Lil and I followed them. That boy is a creep.
