5SOS Imagines

Ashton Part 1/3

The news had come as a shock to you. In a split second, you could feel your entire world crushing around you. Everything you knew, everything that was familiar would be ruined forever. It was gone.

You couldn't hear anything else. Your ears were ringing and the words weren't registering, you knew his lips were moving. He kept saying things but you felt numb, your entire body iced cold. He was your best friend, you'd support him regardless. You loved him too much.

That was the problem... You loved him. You had loved him for so long. You loved him in silence. You loved the way his forehead creased when he was concentrated on something. You loved the crinkles by his eyes when he smiled wide. You loved the way his laughter could always warm you up.

"Y/N? Y/N! Are you even listening to me?" Ashton shook your shoulder, making you blink quickly as you tried to focus on him once again. "Glad to know you care so much! I tell you the biggest thing that has ever happened to me and you completely ignore me. Thanks a lot best friend! Thanks for being such a great supporter."

"You're angry at me? I'm still processing this!" You scream at him, jumping to your feet and begin pacing. You noticed him wincing when you did, he hadn't expected your anger. The confusion in his eyes proved that. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? If you know she's having a girl, if you're showing me videos of the ultra sound..." Your voice cracked and you hated that. Your eyelids fluttered quickly as you attempted to keep your tears at bay.

"I needed time to process this as well..." He began to say and you raised your hand.

"Save your bullshit... I'm your best friend and yet you kept the biggest news ever from me! Am I the last to know?" You asked him and his eyes lowered towards his hands. He nervously played with the knee rip of his black jeans. "That's what I thought."

"This is why I didn't want to tell you, you just don't understand!" He argued and you just laughed. A humorless and dry laugh.

"You're so full of yourself!" You scoffed.

"Can't you be happy for me?"

"I actually feel sorry for you! Do you love her? Cause a few months ago you didn't! You were sick of her." You could feel the tears spilling this time. "You told me you would leave her and be with me after that night. We slept together Ashton and now you're having a baby with somebody else! How am I supposed to feel?"

"You could be a little more understanding..." He said sadly, standing up as well and grabbing his leather jacket from the arm rest. "Telling you was a mistake."

"And loving you was mine!" You screamed as he slammed the door shut. The slam physically hurt you as you slipped down onto the sofa. The tears came fast, soaking your knees as you pulled them to your chest and rested your face against them. How could he expect you to be happy for him? Why would he ever ask such a thing?
