about a boy {lrh + mgc}

he ignored another call. yet again. why does he never ever answer? he's probably out with calum again. well, i hope he is. maybe he didn't see it? i don't even know anymore. when we met, it was amazing. he was the best guy i had ever met, (except for my childhood best friend, ash) and he would always want to hang with me. he would bring me flowers, even though they were always cheap gas station flowers that were always a bit squashed. i still loved them all the same. just because he had been bothered to go and buy them for me, that made my heart soar a little bit. i put down my phone, trying to ignore the situation a little longer, trying to not just think about him. think about what he was doing, who he was with, who he was talking to. think about how he was ignoring me, how he didn't love me any more, how he hated me so much he couldn't even be bothered to pick up the phone when i called. 

i have noticed that he has started to hang around my brother. they used to hate each other, despise each other, want to kill each other. i don't know why, but they did. it was really awkward, especially because luke was my brother and one of my best friends, but michael was one of my best friends an he was also my boyfriend.  

when michael and i met, luke basically banned me from seeing him. that was because he hated him so very much. we started dating about three months after we met, and we told luke after four months of us being together. around the two month mark, luke and michael became acquaintances. they weren't exactly friends, but they weren't enemies. but by the time our third anniversary rolled around, they were really good friends. and know they are best friends. michael seemingly idolises luke, and vice versa. 

i love michael so much, but sometimes, i don't know what to do with him.

people told me i was stupid or loving him so very very much. But I didn't care. I loved him. I loved him so so so so much. and i used to think that he loved me too ,but know i'm not so sure. he always blows me off to go somewhere else. i love him so much and don't know how to stop. he will never ever let me go from the hard grasp of love. never. we were two rejects that found each other.

the next day

you know what? fuck him. i'm gonna surround myself with people who actually care enogh to give two shits about me. I grab my phone and i send a message to ashton, belle and danny.

danneh:

wedding bells:

sorry dude i can't i've gotta work. sending love tho :)

oh well. at least i have dan and ash.

10 minutes later, ash arrives. he takes me in his arms, and just hugs me. he just hugs me for nearly 5 minutes. no words are exchanged. they don't need to be. ash is like my big brother. well, it feels like that because he's 3 years older than me. he was the boy next door, except, we didn't fall in love. we just became best friends.

flashback

i looked out my bedroom window, . at six and a half years of age, i couldn't actually reach the window sill, so i had to drag my older brother's desk chair from his room to my room so i could see out of the window. we had just moved to hornsby in sydney from a city called wellington in a place called new zealand. from this day i would still be teased about my accent because i'm the only one of my siblings who still has the kiwi accent. there, across the street, i could see a little boy, a little older than me, running around with a very adorable dog. that was the first time i ever saw ashton fletcher irwin.

i walked down the stairs and walked out the door, my mother calling my name after me. i turned around and told her that i saw a little boy who i wanted to play with . as i was only six years old, she called out for my eight year old brother, luke, to go with me to see this boy, who i would later know to be ashton irwin. my childhood best friend.

we walked across the street, my brother trailing behind me. as a six year old, i had no fears, no anxiety. the only things i was afraid of were bad guys and spiders. meeting this boy i had never seen before wasn't scary at the time.

i walked up to him. actually no. i ran up to him, luke trailing behind me, walking agonisingly slow. 

i ran up to this boy and yelled "hi!!" in his face. not the most smooth of moves. but come on, i was six, for fucks sake.

he looked up at me and smiled. "hi, i'm ashton," he said, grinning. "what's yours?"

"alex, but everyone calls me lexi"

"i'm gonna call you lex" he told me.

"why? " i asked.

"because no one else does. i want to be original. i want you to remember me and i want to hand a unique nickname for you," he whispered. and that was how i became best friends with ashton irwin.
