Make Me Smile || Kurt Cobain

Chapter 79 - Ashlyn Cornell

Ashlyn

I quickly hung up my call with Chris once I spotted Kurt standing at the doorway. He seemed to be forcing a smile at me, probably not comfortable with the fact that I was talking to Chris.

"Hey" He geeeted.

"Hi." I greeted back, as he walked over to me and sat down on my bed. "Are you alright?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. My brother tried punching me so I made him fall to the ground" I stated plainly with a shrug. Kurt couldn't help but laugh, and I cracked a smile a bit. "I love Ax, I really do. But he needs to learn that he can't keep beating and slapping me around. I don't deserve that" I stated. And Kurt nodded.

"Of course not." Kurt said, reaching over to kiss my forehead. "I'm proud that you're learning, and thank you're feeling safer and more confident"

"Thanks Kurt. I'm happy too." I said, smiling a bit. "I love being able to defend myself and fight. I also work out at his gym, and we soar wrestle sometimes."

"I used to wrestle too. Did I ever mention that?" Kurt added. I raised an eyebrow as I gave him a credulous look. "You don't believe me but I did. You can ask Krist..." Kurt said before he suddenly had a look of realization on his face. "...okay not Krist, or Stone. You can ask Dave though" Kurt suggested, making me giggle.

"It's alright, I believe you. I'm just surprised. You totally hated it, didn't you?" I asked.

"You know me so well. I couldn't fucking stand it. I was kinda good it though, but you know, purposely lost matches to rebel" He said with a shrug, as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

And I guess for Kurt Cobain, it was. It was such a Kurt thing to do.

"Classic Kurt Cobain right there" I teased, as we shared a laugh.

"Your laughter is so beautiful Ashlyn" He complimented. "Scoot over"

I obliged as Kurt lay down next to me. I instinctively snuggled up next to him, laying my head on his chest. His heart was beating quite fast.

"Are you alright? Your heart is racing"

"It always races when I'm with you Ash" Kurt explained. I was glad he couldn't see me, cause I was sure my cheeks were really flustered at that time.

"Mine does as well." I said, as we continued to cuddle. No words were said as we laid down in comfortable silence.

"You know, the guys all feel terrible for what they said and did. Especially Krist. He said Chris actually pointed and you and said you're his"

I remained silent for a while. If this was the old Chris, I would wholeheartedly believe.

But the new Chris, he was such a sweetheart. And no matter what, my brain couldn't just comprehend that he would do that.

Yes. I guessed I trusted Chris more than Krist.

Insane right?

"I don't know Kurt, Chris has been really chill so far. He's been respecting me a lot and just teaching me self defense. We're friends"

I could feel Kurt's heart race faster at the mention of those words. I guess they were triggering for him. I looked at him from his chest and he had a disgusted expression on his face.

"I still don't trust that guy Ash. I thought by now you'd trust my intuition. I was right about Izzy wasn't I?" Kurt asked. His expression of disgust simply turned into one of remorse once he noticed me grimace at the mention of Izzy's name. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to"
