impacts - Ashton Irwin

ANNABELLE'S POV

Luke wasn't in the house when I woke up this morning. Well, he wasn't in the room, the house, the vicinity or even this town we were in. He left a note on the bench that Ashton found before I woke up.

Gone back home, not sticking round after
last night. See you at school.
- Luke.

As Ashton read it out to me, I got a nervous twitch in my stomach. Luke was fully serious about this, usually when or if we argue we get over it without words, and just carry on as usual. But he's left our road trip.

My mind started racing rapidly, wondering what I should do or if I should even bother. He is so moody sometimes, I mean I can't say much but how was this entire situation my fault? He broke up with me, got over me instantly and now as soon as I'm happy he confesses his feelings.

It didn't - but what if as soon as he told me those words I developed mixed feelings between him and Ashton? God he was so selfish.

"Uh," Ashton interrupted my thoughts, "what happened last night?" He asked the question I was hoping he'd never ask. I was never great at lying.

"C'mon Anna, I noticed you weren't in a great mood at the beginning of last night, I just knew that I could probably put you in a better mood." He confessed. I still stammered an answer.

"It was just a little argument that's all," I could feel the heat rise to my head as I straight up lied to Ashton. He believed me, thank goodness.

Calum walks into the room, looking happier than ever, "Mali's in town! She's visiting her boyfriend!"

I let out a 'yay' as Calum strolls around, then informing Ashton that she is his sister.

"Small world huh."

"Wanna go out tonight?" Calum mumbles as he strolls into the room. Dancing crazily and having a good time sounded like the perfect thing to do right now, to get things off my mind.

"Yes please." I rise quickly, my voice sounding like an old man as I laugh to cover it up.

Derek - Mali's boyfriend, Calum, Michael and Ashton walk ahead of Mali-Koa and I into the club. She had come over earlier and we got ready together. Despite the age difference, she was still the exact same as Calum, young, fun - and by fun I mean wild, as in she's already wasted.

We all strolled in, myself feeling extremely cool as I showed the security guard my library card, it reading my birth date, proving I was 18, seeing as I don't get my I.D til I'm back in my home town.

"Come get some dreenks with me Annabeela!" Mali slurs as I giggle, letting go of Ashton and disappearing into the crowd with her.

"Batter up sir, we'll have a line of shots pleaseeee!"

The bartender nods and pours the liquid into tiny glasses as my stomach fills with nerves. I always get scared before drinking straight alcohol, it burns my throat badly, plus, I never know how I'll act.

But, I'll do it anyway. As I took the shot with my two fingers and looked at my friend, she nodded at my and I gulped the liquid. It slid down my throat easily, but the burn was intense. Straight after, I got offered another and drank that instantly, the burn becoming not as severe.

The strong alcohol started the kick in almost instantly. The bartender handed me another drink, a mixer on Mali's request. The lighter tasting drink satisfied my taste buds thoroughly, the cherry taste leaving red stains on our lips.

Soon enough, I found Ashton who was sober by the looks of it. I ran up to him and hugged him, turning around and leading him into the crowd as we danced.

Collard Greens by Kendrick Lamar came blasting through the speakers as I turned around to look at Ashton, my eyebrows raised. I was fully intoxicated.

"Ashton?" I screamed over the music as I moved closer to him.

"Yeah?" He yelled back. I pulled his head closer to mine as I moved my mouth to his ear so he could hear me.

"Y'know when rappers get into it and they move their hands side to side when they rap?" He chuckled and nodded in response.

"That's what you and I are going to do." I clapped as the song started up, the bass pumping.

I misunderstood Ashton, because once we started rapping, he was fully drunk too. I laughed hard. Soon enough, our rapping was unbelievable. Nobody could probably hear us, but they formed a circle around us as we went all gangster. Literally. We walked in circles close to each other, getting lower to the ground as we danced, pulling gang signs and laughing.

Everyone started cheering as the song finished. I grabbed Ashton's hand and got everybody's attention, the music still very loud but their attention turned to me and Ashton in the middle of the circle. When it got to a quiet bit in the song I screamed, piss-ass drunk.

"ASHTON FUCKING IRWIN EVERYBODY!" I screamed as loud as I could, throwing his hand up in mine victoriously. The response of people screaming and cheering was amazing. I laughed hard as the circle soon emerged into a crowd of dances.

"Gotta pee," I announced in Ashton's ear, we were about to head home but I really had to use the bathroom. I let my hair down from my slick back ponytail and took off Ashton's jacket I borrowed for 5 minutes.

I rushed into the bathroom, soon surrounded by a few girls fixing their makeup. I check myself in the mirror and the girls soon leave, their drunk personalities being so lovely and kind. I went to the toilet stall and did my business.

Once I got out, the lights went black. Pitch black. Instead of fear, I giggled, clapping my hands together. Until, I got pushed against the wall roughly.

I got kissed hungrily and the lips weren't Ashton's. I tried to scream out for help but my cries for help were muffled by a hand being thrown over my mouth.

"Shut up." The disguised voice warns as he lets go of my hand. I let out a soft whimper as they kiss down my neck, my hands above my head and their hands holding them up.

"When I move my hands, you better fucking stay still." They cuss once again, their spit on my neck as I sob. I feel his fingers crawl down my shirt, popping the button of my jeans.

"Please, no." My whimper barely being heard.

But he didn't stop. His fingers slid into my underwear as I cried, my knees shaking as I soon fell. The pain was horrifying as my mind went blank, my eyes wide as I shook in fear, the disgusting man still assaulting me.

I was being assaulted. Sexually assaulted.

Once the man was finished, he stood up. "Get up." He commanded, but I couldn't. I was in so much fear.

I grabbed the wall, helping myself up. My finger fell onto the light switch as they turned on. I looked up and saw the man who has just sexually abused me.

And then, as my hands flew over my mouth, tears pouring down in buckets, more than when my brother died, I saw who it was. And as my eyes never closed, the man looked just as shocked as I was.

Harry.
