I don't know how long I was frozen still for but once I saw Ashton's eye twitch I knew I had to say something. It also didn't help that Kyle still stood incredulously close to me.
"A-Ashton.." I stutter out nervously, I don't think I've ever had sweatier palms then right now. I don't even know why I was nervous or scared - we didn't do anything.
"What's he doing here?" Kyle asks which instantly makes Ashton's eyebrows raise in disbelief.
"I'm here to be with my girlfriend, why are you here?" Ashton asks, he walks deeper into the kitchen and stops a foot infront of Kyle, his chest is puffed out and I know he's either angry or confused, probably both.
Kyle chuckles, turning to me then back to Ashton then back to me. "Is he serious?" He chuckles.
I gulp, shrugging my shoulders at him as I bashfully nod my head at him. "Yeah he is.."
Ashton makes a 'hmph' noise at Kyle's face which is in complete disbelief. I don't see why he would be though. His actions tonight are just making my head swirl.
"Is that a problem?" Ashton asks tilting his head at Kyle who hasn't spoken a word. As if something snaps in Kyle's head, his mood changes to perky as his posture straightens up more.
"No, I just didn't take Kat for the relationship type considering I've known her for so long and all.. But I should really get going yeah? I'll talk to you soon, Kat." Kyle says smiling at me as he engulfs me in a quick hug, patting Ashton on the shoulder and walking out my kitchen.
Within seconds of the front door being open and closed Ashton moves to stand directly infront of me with a not so pleased expression.
"Why was he here?" I gulp at the intensity of his tone, it kind of stunned me how angry he was at the sight of Kyle - although I can see from his protective boyfriend-ness that it's just something that comes out.
"Kat if you don't answer me so help me god I will go ask him myself." Ashton says gritting his teeth. I didn't understand why he was this riled up about this. What do I even tell him? That Kyle came crying to my door asking for forgiveness, friendship and... Love. I couldn't say that without Ashton beating him to a pulp.
"He uh... he wants to be friends again. He came to apologize." I respond, my voice is shaky due to not having spoken and the fact that Ashton's face was still contorted into anger.
"Out of the blue? At this time of night? How does he even know where you live?" Ashton asks, taking a few steps back so he can pace back and forth, waiting for my response.
"H-He said he's been meaning to find me and talk to me so I guess tonight he just really felt like doing it.." I respond trying to sound as casual as possible.
"What was your response to his... Apology." Ashton asks, crossing his arms over each other like a parent lecturing their child. I was not a child.
"I...uh...I mean I don't mind being his friend again... We do have history." I shrug, waiting for Ashton to blow up at me which he does.
"Why the hell would you be his friend again? Why would you even accept a word from his mouth? He was fucking rude to you." Ashton says angrily.
"People make mistakes... I can go back to being his friend like old times." I shrug, suddenly feeling small against Ashton.
"Oh and why was he so close to you? Hm? Tell me the truth - did he try something with you?" Ashton says staring at me so intensely that I avoid his stare.
"No of course not-"
"Why didn't he know I was your boyfriend? That should have been the first thing to leave your mouth when he came up to your door. Oh, and why couldn't you guys have a normal conversation in the living room like normal people."
"Ashton your taking this to a whole different level and it wasn't even that big of a deal." I respond even though it was a sort of medium sized deal.
"Not that big of a deal? I walked in on my girlfriend and this douche standing inches away from each other in the kitchen! How do you expect me to react." My shoulders slump at his words. He was right. What if I walked in on him in a situation just like me, I'd think the worst.
"Who knows what you guys could of done." Ashton mumbles, rolling his eyes in the process.
"Really Ashton? That's a low fucking blow, you know I'd never do that." I respond, my temper getting the better of me.
"Would I? You were just alone with the 'love of your life' for 5 years and nothing crossed your mind?"
His words don't even anger me like I thought they would, they sting me, they burn through my skin and go straight to my heart.
"The question here is do you still love him?" Ashton asks maliciously. I didn't think this one thing would lead to Ashton saying these things to me.
"Well do you!?" Ashton says raising his voice making me flinch in the process.
Tears pile up in my eyes, as my fist ball up at my sides.
"Get out." Ashton's eyebrows shoot up, confusion written all over his face but he doesn't seem to mind that he's hurt me.
"Why? Are you trying to dodge my question?"
"Get out Ashton! I had an amazing night and your ruining it! J-Just leave me alone." I say pushing Ashton towards the exit, which he obliges and I think that shatters my heart just alittle bit more.
Something was up with him tonight, but I surely didn't want to deal with him right now.
"By you kicking me out is telling me that you still love him." Ashton says turning around to face me as he stands just outside my front door.
"Your an asshole tonight, Ashton." I respond, wiping away a few tears as I shut the front door in Ashton's face.
I wonder if this is how Ashton felt when I had constantly questioned his love for me. If he did, I'm so sorry I made him feel like shit.
I don't know what's hurting more - my heart or my head.
My heart is hurt at the fact that Ashton doesn't trust me and is second guessing my love.
My head... It's a jumbled up mess and I don't think I'm that ready to sort it out yet.
-
Bit short... But hello guys!! Yes this is the sequel to unrequited and we already have conflict - woot woot. I'm considering doing a update schedule for this book so I might only be posting a chapter a week, but who knows honestly because if I'm feeling inspired I'll probably post so who knows.
Also within this book a lot of things will be sort of confusing and exaggerated just for the fact that you will be knowing more so of the one side of the story type thing, I'll have Ashton povs but I won't always state the conflict as obvious as before - example, why is Ashton being so harsh and taking this so badly. You guys won't find out till later chapters so that's how I'll be doing this.
Hope you guys enjoy and thank you guys for your support and your feedback, it means the world to me! Xx
