Scarred For Life

Chapter 56

Danielle's Point of View

I couldn't believe that Ashton has two girls on the go. Miriam is such a sweet girl and Bethany, well I only saw her for two seconds and she already seems like a fake bitch.

After telling Calum he said he would talk to Ashton later, we passed the time by... I guess you could say doing some "stuff" , before I jumped into the shower and then went downstairs to speak to Ashton myself before Calum does.

It had just gone by seven and Luke, Michael and April had gone to go and get pizza for dinner. Miriam, mum-to-be Kaelyn and Ashton stayed and played monopoly.

"Have fun up there, Dani?" Miriam snickered as I walked to the fridge getting some water.

"Classy. But if you want to know, yes it was amazing." I smiled at her before we laughed together. Ashton looked at me with a small smile and I just rolled my eyes. "Are the others not back yet?"

"No, April phoned saying they got stopped for a quick interview with MTV. April insisted they stay so they'll back in about an hour." Kaelyn stated rolling the dice.

I groaned my head on the table. "I'm so hungry!"

I glanced over at Ashton who looked really hurt at how mean I was being to him. I love Ashton, he's my big cuddly bear and one of my best friends but, he's cheating on one of my other best friends and, it's just not right.

"Ashton I - we need to talk." I sighed before starting to walk outside not looking at Ashton or the girls. He soon followed me out and we sat at the table near the back of the garden, making sure Miriam couldn't hear us. "I'm just going to come straight out with it because I hate seeing you sad, and me being horrible to you... Who the fuck is Bethany?"

His face literally went blank as he went stiff in his seat not moving or saying a word. "Ashton, who is she? If you don't tell me, I'm going to tell Miriam." I warned.

He sighed rubbing his hands all over his face. "It was one night and she thinks we're a thing now,"

"Was this 'one night' whilst you were dating Miriam, or did it slip your mind you had a girlfriend?"

"No - well - yes - no - sort of," he stuttered. In which I scoffed in return leaning back in my chair. "I got a little too drunk and one thing led to another."

"Ash, that does not make it okay!"

"I was wasted! It's not my fault."

"You cannot keep blaming the drink. I'm sorry I killed your dog, I was wasted. I'm sorry I crashed your car, I was wasted. Oh, I'm sorry I blew up planet Earth. I was WASTED. Being wasted is not an excuse!" I screamed at him. I can't believe he would actually stoop so low. "I'm sorry, I just can't be around you right now, Ash. I can't -" I sighed walking off back into the house.

He's so pathetic.

"What's wrong?" Miriam asked as I walked through. I looked at her before looking back at Ashton outside who was tugging at his hair.

"Ask, Ashton." I sighed before walking back up into Calum's room. I just need to sleep before I faint of hunger if these guys don't come back.

I heavily slumped down on the bed next to a sleeping Calum and sighed loudly, tugging the cover fiercely over myself. I felt Calum move around from next to me as I shifted around the bed really annoyed.

"What is wrong with you?" He mumbled sleepily. I huffed again looking at the wall in front of me.

"Ashton.. Being a dick. Oh I was 'drunk' it was a 'mistake'." I scoffed. "Mistake my ass." He didn't say anything but laughed next to me his eyes still closed like he was asleep. "Calum, it's not funny! He's got two girls on the go and it's not right."

"You see the problem with you, is that you care too much. It's a good thing but sometimes you just have to let people deal with it themselves. I said I'll talk to Ashton later so just stop stressing. Okay?"

I don't understand how he is calm in these situations. I wish I had that. "Fine.." I breathed.

"Come here, calm down and stop stressing." He lifted up an arm so I could cuddle up into his bear chest and 'calm down'. I doubt it'll work but, he looks like he knows what he's talking about so I did what he asked and tried to calm down.

"One night stand.." I muttered what he told me under my breath.

"Shh..."

"Was a mistake."

"Shh. Babe, just close your eyes and relax, your so stressed out about other people's problems. You need to think about yourself." He ranted on.

"I'm hungry..." Was the last thing I muttered before drifting off into sleep. Ashton and a meat feast pizza being the last things on my mind.

Miriam's Point of View

I looked to Kaelyn really confused. What were Ashton and Danielle talking about? I excused myself from the game before making my way to the garden. As I stepped out he was already starting to walk in my direction.

"What was that about?" I questioned folding my arms and looking at him, his head bowed down.

He opened his mouth about to say something just before we were interrupted. "Pizza's here!"

I widened my eyes waiting for him to answer. "It's nothing... I swear." He gave me an unsure smile before giving me a big grin, his dimples showing as he did. He then gave me a hug before walking away through the doors to where everyone else was gathering.

I knew something was up though, and I wasn't going to just brush it off.

I rubbed my tattooed arm awkwardly, before painting a grin on my face and going back in the kitchen. I did want to know what was up, but I'll leave it for later.

I'm sure it's nothing...
