Tear In My Heart: Ashton Irwin AU

.4 I Don't Want To Be The Death Of You

I skipped Ashton's house entirely for two days. On the third he confronted me.

I was trudging down the school hall way when he appeared in front of me. "Where have you been?" He questioned in a surprisingly harsh tone.

"Ash, if you are wondering, I'm not upset with you or anything, I just can't any more," I explained in an attempt to keep the details away from seemingly obvious eavesdroppers.

He was taken aback. "What- why?" He demanded.

Some part of me just didn't want to even mention it.

My condition was fatal, it was only natural for me to try to avoid even the thought of death, right?

I shook my head, stepping out of his way, but his hand gripped my arm. I gasped in shock.

Ashton had never laid his hands on me, ever. I stared at his face which held an outraged expression.

He was high.

"Ashton, let go of me, I don't want to talk about it. " I confided softly.

"Well that's too bad because I want to know, so you are going to tell me." He scolded me as if I was a child.

"No, I don't want to talk about it. " I shot back, becoming more angry.

His grip was slowly tightening to the point of which I knew I would have a bruise the next day.

"Tell me, you little bitch!" He yelled.

I was fed up with him and his little act. Not only that, but I could feel myself getting light headed and nauseous.

"Fine, you incompetent narcissistic asshole, I have a medical condition that revokes my ability for physical activity and being in the same vicinity of people outside me family. I'm sorry that I don't want to die." I screamed back in rage.

He stepped away from me with wide eyes. "What? Why didn't you tell me sooner, Hannah?" He seemed ashamed of his behavior.

"Because, Ashton, a few days ago, I came home really sick and couldn't move, so Luke took me to the hospital and they said I needed to have surgery soon. Or else I will die. I didn't know, but if I continue this," I gestured to our relationship, "it will kill me."

"I don't want to be the death of you, but I can't just stop seeing you." He rubbed the back of his neck, unsure of himself.

"Ash, I know, it will take some time to get used to, but you will have a new girl in no time." I reassured him whilst rolling my eyes.

He grabbed my waist to help me down the stairs to my next class, which I was grateful for.

"It's not that, Hannah. You're a cold chick, I don't want you to die. You're so young. What's the problem? "

I shrugged. "Apparently there is a problem with my heart or something, I'm not completely sure. The doctor said that I am basically restrained from doing anything. Today's my last day."

"Don't worry, I'll come visit you."
