The Firefighter (Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter 15

I have been trying to talk to Ashton for about 3 days now but, he either walks the other way or goes to hang out with his guy friends. I get out of class early and wait at his locker, in hopes of him being alone. About a minute, Ashton walks right in front of me and roughly pushes me aside, unlike the soft push he used when he was joking around with me.

"What the hell Ashton. You ignore me the past three days and now you push me. Your being such a jerk. I just wanted to talk, if you don't want to talk then fine! You don't have to be a jerk about it. And out of all people that should be mad, it should be me! Your the one who created all this mess!"

"Yeah, whatever," Ashton mumbled so quietly, that I can just make out the words.

Ashton walks away towards the cafeteria. Just like for the past few days, he goes and sits with his lacrosse team mates..

I sit at the usual table with Carly.

"You know, you both haven't told me what's going on between the two of you yet."

Turns out Carly did ask Ashton what happened but he didn't answer her.

I reply to Carly with a shrug.

 "You guys are going to need to make up sooner or later you know?"

"I did. I tried at least. Ashton doesn't want to talk."

"He'll come around. I know he will. He likes you too much...I mean what? How did that come out of my mouth? What? Who?....wait a second....is that the reason why you two are fighting?"

"Yeah, it is. I didn't tell him what I thought about him when he told me, I just left."

"Let me guess, you have a crush on him but you also like Liam."

"What? How did you know?"

"I've known you since, what? first grade? I know you too well."

 "I just wish he would just talk to me."

"Ashton is like one of those ticking timers, you just got to wait it out."

"You really suck at giving examples," I said, laughing.

"Yeah, I know," she said, half-laughing.

I look over my shoulders and see Ashton looking at us and quickly looking away. He puts his arm around a girl's shoulder and seems to laughs at one of his teammate's joke. Ugh, I knew he was trying to make me jealous. Ashton was being a real dickhead right now. I tap Carly on her shoulder to show her what Ashton was doing.

"What the fuck," Carly said.

"Yeah, I know right I didn't even do anything to him,"

"No, look at who his arm is around."

I turn around and look over at Ashton's table. Ashton arm was no longer around the girl's shoulder but on she was now up close and hugging him. The girl had wavy, hazel nut hair and wearing a floral summer dress. The girl wasn't sitting at the table when I entered the cafeteria. There usually isn't a girl at that table at all. She turns her head to face Ashton. The girl sitting at the lunch table is Abby.

"Seriously? She doesn't even like Ashton. Ashton knows I HATE her," Carly angrily says.

"I know exactly why Ashton is doing this."

"Oh really why?"

"Ashton is trying to get back at me and Abby is trying to get back at you for what you did last time in class."

"Why is she getting Ashton to date her? And why is Ashton doing this? He knows I hate her, he's just getting me mad."

"Abby thinks that dating your ex-boyfriend will get you mad. Ashton thinks that I will get jealous. The real question is why does he want me to be jealous?"

"Oh I know the answer to that. He knows you have a little crush on him."

"Are you serious? And if I had a crush on him wouldn't I have said I liked him?"

"I don't know what goes on in his mind."

 I didn't want to be jealous but I was. I might like Liam but I also liked Ashton and I hate it.

*Ashton's P.O.V.*

I look over my shoulder and see Carly and Laura laugh. God, Laura looked so cute when she laughed. I wish I didn't push her at my locker. I didn't want to but I was mad. She has a crush on me and I like her, I just don't understand why she didn't answer me when I told her I liked her. I should walk up to her and talk. I should apologize. I feel so bad, Laura was right I was and am being a jerk, but Laura basically embarrassed me. She should have said something, I would have been fine with anything, but no, she just walked away. I turn around and Laura was staring at me, so I quickly turn around I don't want to seem like I still like her but, I do.

Someone punches me in the stomach. Ouch! That wasn't a light punch like what Laura would do.

"Hey, are you listening to me," a high pitched voice said. It was Abby. Ugh, Abby is so annoying. I know she is only here to get back at Carly for what she did.

"Ah, yeah, yeah, your dog died or something," I said.

"Well, are you going to comfort me or what," Abby says rudely. I awkwardly put my arm around her shoulder and pretend to hug her.

Our team's goalie, Jake says a stupid joke, so stupid that it was funny and I had to laugh. Abby rolls her eyes and calls him a retard. Abby turns around, I assume she was looking at Carly. All of a sudden, she moves closer and blabbers on about how cute and sweet I am. She gives me a long, tight hug. She wasn't a very good hugger. Her hugs were actually awkward and uncomfortable. I look towards Jake awkwardly and he shots me back a confused face. Abby looks behind us again. This time, I look behind us towards my usual table, too. Carly looked pissed. I'm going to be in deep shit.

Abby asks something but I'm not too quite sure what it was so I say, "ah, yeah, sure, whatever."

"Great, pass me your phone," Abby says and stupidly, I give her my phone. She quickly types in her number and texts herself.

Fuck, she has my number. What the hell. I'm so dumb. Why the hell did I just give her my phone?

"So what time are we going," Abby asks.

"What?"

"You said you will go out with me and now I'm asking when do you wanna go."

Fuck. Carly is going to kill me if she knew I just agreed to go out with Abby. I'm in deep shit. I'll just ditch, I guess.

 "How about 6:30pm tomorrow," I randomly suggest.

"Sure," Abby perkily says and walks off to her friends.

"What was that all about? I thought you didn't like her. What happened to Laura," one of our team's midfielder, Alex says.

Everyone on our school's lacrosse team knew I have liked Laura except, I was too dumb to recognize I liked her. My team mates always made fun of me for not realizing I liked her, even when they all tell me. I usually would just shrug it off. Apparently, I acted differently towards her then other girls but, I never seemed to notice. It's weird that I liked her and my whole team recognizes it but me.

Last year, Carly told me Laura probably has a tiny crush on me, but I didn't really care. Laura never really acted different around me but, apparently to Carly she did. Me and Laura obviously had out little moments but one of us usually ends up goofing off and ending the moment.

I love how Carly and I can be friends and not get jealous of one another. I guess we didn't really have that spark. I get that we broke up but maybe it wasn't because of our time schedule,maybe it was because we just weren't meant to be together.
