You Got My Love // Aston Merrygold

Part 22

I opened the door to the car, my hands were shaking.. I was shaking. I'd never been so scared. Ben wanted me to finish Aston.. tonight. I couldn't.. I just couldn't do It to him. It would break him, he would be heartbroken and I couldn't be the one to do it to him. No way. I loved him far too much to leave him and I knew he loved me. I couldn't tell him about what Ben had said though. I knew If Ben found out he'd hurt him, or do something to hurt him. Either way, me or him were going to get hurt. I looked down at my wrists.. they were all red. They were definitely going to bruise. I started my car before making my way home. I had calmed down a bit by now. His words were still rotating in my head though. Everything he said to be. I'd never been so scared. I knew this was all coming, I knew he was going to come back. But I pushed it to the back of my head and ignored It.. I never expected him to come back so quick.

I opened the car door and made my way up the path to my house. Once I was in, I went into the kitchen to put all the food I'd bought away. Once I'd done that, I went up to the bathroom and took a shower before getting ready for Aston to come over. I looked down at my wrists, they were already starting to bruise, they were red and purple. If Aston saw, he'd flip! I got out the shower and put some joggers on and my hoodie to cover my wrists. I dried my hair then put it in a bun. I put my phone in my pocket before running back downstairs. By the time I'd finished It was almost 5pm, meaning Aston would be hear any minute. Right on 5 there was a knock on the door. I opened it to see Aston stood there.

"Hiya baby." he grinned. Automatically, I dived into his arms. I'd really missed him and everything that happened with Ben had scared me and I just wanted to be near him.

"Aw, what's wrong?" he laughed, wrapping his arms around my shoulders and kissing the top of my head.

"Nothing, I just wanted a hug." I mumbled into his chest.

"Aw, baby, you in a soppy mood?" I just nodded into his chest.

"Well, I hope you're hungry, I bought Nando's." he grinned, pulling me into the house and shutting the door behind him. I'd actually ate nothing all day so to be honest, I was starving!

"Of course I'm hungry." I laughed following him into the kitchen.

"I'll plate it up, you go put on a film." he smiled, kissing my head before pushing me out.

"Ok, ok, I'm going." I laughed. I put a film on before snuggling down into the sofa waiting for Aston to come in.

"Here you go babe." he smiled passing me a plate then sitting down beside me.

"Thank you." I smiled back. Half way through the film, my phone vibrated. Pulling it out my pocket I saw it was a text from Ben saying;

*Hope you've finished him already, break his heart ;)*

I quickly turned it off before putting my phone onto the side of the chair.

"Who was that babe?" Aston asked, turning his head towards me.

"No one, wrong number." I smiled. I'd been saying that all the time since I've been getting the texts.

"Is there anything wrong?" he asked pulling me towards him so I was lying on his chest.

"Nothing." I lied.

"You wouldn't lie to me would you?"

"No."

"You'd tell me if something was wrong right?"

"For god's sake yes." I snapped standing up and going upstairs to the bathroom.

"Babe, open up." Aston shouted from the other side of the door.

"No." I shouted back.

"Listen, whatever's wrong then you know you can tell me."

"Aston, there's nothing wrong, just go downstairs, I'll be down in a second."

"Ok, babe, love you."

"I love you too." I shouted before hearing him walk down the stairs. 

ASTONS P.O.V

I walked back down the stairs after talking to Alexis. Something was definitely up with he. What? I had no idea. I sat back down on the chair when her phone vibrated. I know I had no right looking but I picked it up and unlocked it... It was a text from Ben.. It read;

*Hope you've done it princess, break him, then nothing will happen :**

What the hell was that about? I looked at her other messages, there was loads from him. All of them varied from things like;

*Hope you've finished him already, break his heart ;)*

*Tick tock, tick tock, get a move on princess, not long left ;)* 

*Counting down the days baby, not long ;D*

What the hell was wrong with him? He was stalking her.

"Aston! What are you doing?" Alexis said. I turned around to see her stood there with her arms crossed.

"Nothing, you're phone just vibrated and I thought something was wrong with you and I was right! What's Ben up to? Has he hurt you?"

"No! He hasn't touched me! Now give me my phone." she said, leaning over to get her phone.. But her sleeves rolled up.. Revealing all red and purple marks around her wrist.

"Babe! What the hell is that?" I asked, shocked. I stood up and walked around towards her as she pulled her sleeves over her hands and looked at the floor.

"Nothing! I..I..I just hurt myself." she stuttered.

"You haven't hurt yourself, who's touched you?"

"No one! I just..I...I..." she stuttered, again, as a tear fell down her face.

"Hey, shhh, come here," I whispered pulling her into my arms as she cried. "Who's done this to you? Was it Ben? He's been sending you the texts," I pulled her down onto my lap as she sat down. "Please, tell me. You can trust me.. Do you?"

"Of course I trust you, I trust you more than anything." she cried.

"Then why won't you tell me?"

"Because I can't and If I do, you'll get hurt." she cried, gripping onto my t-shirt.

"Shh, come on, just tell me, everything." I said, stroking her hair in an attempt to calm her down.

"Ok, It was Ben, that night at the club during the tour, when I wanted to go to the hotel early? That was because I'd seen him and he told me that I had to finish with you or he'd hurt you or hurt me to hurt you. He said I couldn't tell anyone or he'd hurt you, so either way you were going to get hurt. Please, I don't want to leave you, I'm so sorry." she cried harder.

"Hey, it's ok, you have nothing to be sorry about, we'll get through this, he can't hurt you, I won't let him." I said, kissing her head.

"I love you." she smiled looking up at me.

"I love you too." I smiled leaning down to kiss her.
