I woke up to my phone blaring in my ear. With eyes closed, I grab the device and put it to my ear.
"Hello?" My voice groggy in the phone and I hope it isn't Nathan from work because then I would be embarrassed.
"Kat-" My brothers voice says into the phone and I groan quietly. It was too early for this.
"Listen - I get that your upset with mom and I but give it up , you only have us." I roll my eyes at that.
"I have Ashton," and dad. I didn't want to tell him that.
"He's temporary, I can feel it. You'll find someone better - a man with money and stability." My brother says into the phone and my blood instantly boils.
"I don't want a sugar daddy. Ashton has enough money and he's stable. You don't know what your talking about." I'm trying to not let him get to me but its so hard.
"Why'd you even call me anyways?"
My brother is silent for a few moments, "Mom's on her way to see you."
I sit up in my bed, eyebrows furrowed. "What? Why? Now?" I ask, it was 8am.
"She left an hour ago so... And she's going to tell you something.. She barely told me three days ago but um yeah." My brother coughs over his words and although we don't get along I'm still worried.
"Are you okay? What's going on?"
"N-Nothing. Um it's just been emotional but I have to go..."
"Wait-" and the line was dead. I stared at my phone, confused. What the fuck was happening?
-
"She could be here any minute and what if she apologizes? Am I ready to forgive her? Will I ever? Is she just going to through mean words at me again? Why is she coming? She could have called me or something. What the fuc-"
"Kat, breathe. It's going to be okay. Calm down. You'll be fine." Ashton says as he hoops hit arm around my waist and pulls me into his chest to stop my pacing back and forth.
"But she's coming, here." I say almost in a pleading tone. Ashton 's arms engulfs me, our faces inches apart. His face is etched with concern, concern for me.
"Think of it this way, you have the upper hand. She's coming here, this isn't her house. The only person that can leave is her." Ashton says quietly, he places his forehead on mine and I sigh.
"I'm just scared." I whisper shaking my head slightly.
"Don't worry, you have me here for you and your father." He whispers the last part, he was officially the only person that will ever understand me.
"I love you.." I whisper, Ashton cracks a small smile and nods. "I love you too."
-
It's been three days. Three days since my brothers called me about my mom and she hasn't came to Ashton's place yet.
To say I was on edge was an understatement.
I tried to concentrate on doing my work in Ashton's living room while he went to hang out with his buddies but I couldn't because every little noise in the apartment made me jump thinking it was my mom trying to jump out a kill me or something.
My phone began to buzz on the coffee table, scaring me in the process. I sigh and grab it, putting it to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Hey babe, can the boys come over? They want to watch the game over there."
"Sure," I chuckle. "I don't know why you ask me, it's your place."
"I knew you were going to say that." He laughs into the phone and I smile. "Well then, let me finish up my work before you guys get here. Oh and can you maybe get food - we have to go grocery shopping soon." I chuckle, Ashton really didn't have any food.
"Was planning it babe, see you in a few."
"Alright, bye." I say and hang up the phone. I put in on the couch next to me and continue to edit the site, to the best of my ability.
A envelope icon pops up on the bottom screen and I open it. It's from Nathan.
Hey! How's the site going? We got some feedback, people are enjoying it which is good. I think you should drop in tomorrow so I can give you some papers and such.
Have a nice day, Nathan x
I smiled at the email, replying back with an 'of course'.
I do the finishing touches on the site, making it look as appealing as possible.
Once I'm done editing I publish it, my fingers instantly bet off due to how nervous I was. This was my second time on the site and I was still scared.
"Honey, I'm home!" Ashton yells jokingly from the door. I chuckle and look to see Ashton, Calum, Michael and Luke holding soda, chips, chicken, fried, the whole lot.
"Hey guys." I chuckle, exiting the site and closing my laptop. Ashton walks over to me, pecking my lips with his arms filled with junk food.
"How cute," Calum says scutching his nose, I chuckle my cheeks pink.
They begin to place the multiple bags on the coffee table making us all look like fatties.
"Anthony is going to hate me." Michael chuckles grabbing some fries. I chuckle and raise a brow. "He is going to torture you, he can definitely tell when I eat junk food."
Michael chuckles and shrugs. Poor guy didn't know what hell he was going to go through. Ha-Ha.
"Turn the system on," Luke says pushing at Calum's shoulder. Calum sighs but gets up and begins turning the gaming system on.
"Finished you work?" Ashton asks me, sitting down close to me on the couch, his arm going over my shoulder. I nod, my eyes go to his hair.
"Are you?..." I try not to laugh but can't help it.
Ashton's wearing a man bun.
"My hairs long okay! Plus the man bun is in." He says, his cheeks a light hue of pink. I couldn't really argue you with him, he looked pretty cute.
"Says who!" Michael snickers making Ashton flip him off.
"It's cute." I say placing a hand on his chest. He pouts and rolls his eyes. "Your just saying that."
I chuckle at his childish behavior and shake my head. "No really, it's cute."
Ashton makes a 'hmph' noise, but gives me a small wink telling me he's just playing.
"So, who's going to put the pizza in the oven?" Calum asks looking at the boys then me.
I roll my eyes as all the boys laugh. "Guys will be guys." I mutter, even though I didn't mind.

I feel like my chapters get suckier and shorter and bleh.
