Boom Clap

Chapter Thirty-One

•Ashton's POV•

I quickly caught up to Ashlyn, but not yet making my presence known. I had to think about what to say. For half a second I even considered apologizing. I quickly dismissed that idea, she won't break me so easily.

"Ashlyn?" Why did I follow her out here?

Her blonde hair whipped around and she looked at as if she was exhausted with the mere thought of having to talk to me.

"Ashton... I said I wanted to be alone."

"Yeah that's sort of why I came. Since when do you want to be alone?" I prodded.

"It doesn't matter. Can you please go back to the room?"

She was whinging... What kind of an adult whines?

"I actually want to talk to you... I wanted to talk to you alone." I push

"I'm not in the mood." Her voice was clipped now.

I wondered for a second if maybe someone else had taken over but when she turned around to face me I knew it was still Ashlyn... I could tell.

"What will make you leave? I don't have the patience to deal with you."

I thought about it. What would make me leave? I would probably leave if the punk asshole left but I didn't see that happening. What's with him anyways?

your jealous my subconscious mocked me...

"5 minutes?"

"More like two." She crossed her arms defensively.

I racked my brain for the right thing to say but words tumbled out before I could filter them.

"Fuck ok. You have to try and understand why I did-"

"UNDERSTAND?"

Nurses and Doctors halted their work and stared. I shifted uncomfortably. Ashlyn was a ticking bomb now. One wrong word and the whole hospital would go up in flames. The problem is I'm the one who started the countdown.

"I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND? FUCK YOU. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU DID! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW I FEEL?"

"I didn't mean understand like that. I just-"

"You just want to tell me why kissing me and leading me on then dropping me for some one else is perfectly ok, that you should be forgiven. That angel Ashton is never wrong, it's the bitch Ashlyn's fault! That telling everyone I'm legally crazy is just peachy!" Her words were laced with venom.

"Ash-"

"OH HELLO MY NAMES ASHTON! IM THE BIGGEST DICK YOULL EVER MEET BUT HEY I WONT EVER ADMIT IT BECAUSE I GUESS IM JUST TOO DAMN COOL!"

"WELL YOU FOUND SOMEONE FAST! YOU LET ME GO! HELL IM SURE YOU'VE ALREADY FUCKED THAT PUNK PRICK BACK IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM AND YOU'RE PROBABLY WELL ON YOUR WAY TO FUCKING LUKE TOO!"

I regretted my word before they even left my mouth.

"Go away Ashton."

"I'm so-"

"Your time is up. Just go away."

I had so much more to say but it was all slipping from my mind as a looked at this broken girl. The one I helped break. With one final nod I turned sharply on my heel and left.

•Ashlyn's POV•

I thought maybe he was going to admit he was wrong.

That maybe I would slowly forgive him.

That's not what happened though. His pride was too big. He wanted to be the right one here. He didn't want to take any blame.

I'm so sick of being pushed on.

I'm not hungry any more. Screaming will do that to you I guess... Take your mind off survival.

I began aimlessly wondering around the hospital. Hoping this time wasted would clear the people who didn't care about me out of my hospital room.

I'm pretty sure when I return I will see Clara and Harry waiting for me.

Somewhere in the very back of my brain I longed for Ashton to still be there to but, I knew he wouldn't be.

I don't need him. I have others who actually care about me.

Right?
