Bit of Love/Hate ||a.i||

Part 8

*Bethanys POV*

The first thing that went through my head when Ashton kissed me was, what is he doing, he is supposed to hate me, but I completely forgot about our hatred for each other because his lips felt so right on mine. As cheesy as that sounds it's true. I've kissed my fair share of boys in my time but none felt this perfect.
I completely forgot who was kissing me and kissed back flinging my arms around his neck and pulling him closer. Ashtons hands placed firmly on the small of my back pulling me even closer to him. Remember them stupid sparks from before? Yeah they were even stronger than before and I could do nothing about them. My lips were tingling and my heart was hammering against my chest. Ashton pulled me so close to him there was no space between us. He ran his tongue along my bottom lip asking for entrance. That's when I realised what I was doing was wrong. I quickly pulled away from Ashton and glared at him, he looked at me with confused eyes. His lips were swollen and his face was slightly flushed but he still looked so damn perfect.
"What the hell was that?!" I yelled at him angrily.
"What do you mean? You kissed back, isn't that what you wanted?" He replied, nervously running a hand through his hair.
"NO! What are you talking about? You hate me! We do not kiss! What were you even thinking you creep?"  I stood up quickly and did something I knew I would regret when I got home. I slapped him. I slapped him hard across the face and ran out the door, tears already running down my face. 
"Wait Bethany please let me explain!" Ashton yelled. I ignored him and flung the front door closed. I ran the opposite direction of my house, not wanting to go home yet. 
After running for twenty minutes I collapsed in a heap against a wall and cried. Why? I have no idea.  Maybe because I rejected Ashton, the only boy  I've ever truly loved, maybe it's because I have no way home or maybe it's because I slapped him. Whichever one, I was still crying in some random neighbourhood. I pulled out my phone to see I only had 7% battery left. I knew I'd get a phone call out of it so I dialled the number.
"Hello?"
"Calum?" I whispered.
"Bethany, are you okay? Ashton called me saying he couldn't find you," Calum said frantically. My heart swelled.
"I'm fine, can you pick me up? I'm at Newport Drive," I said looking at the sign across the road. 
"Yeah of course, we'll be right there! Bye."
"Wait who's we?" I asked, but he was already gone. "Chico estúpido, colgándame," (A/NStupid Boy hung up on me.) I muttered to myself. I had a strange feeling that 'we' is Calum and Ashton.
I leaned against the wall and stared at the sky making shapes out of the clouds. 

I had made nine different types of dogs, three flowers and a whale before a car pulled up beside me.
"Come then, get in," Calum said chuckling. I did as he said and hopped in the backseat. I took a chance and glanced at the passenger seat to see some blonde hair peaking put. 
"Hey Luke!" I said smiling widely.
"Hi gorgeous, what happened with you and Mr. Irwin?" He replied, raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing..."
"Come one, tell us," he replied.
"Luke, leave her alone, she doesn't have to tell you," Calum sighed keeping his eyes on the road. Luke shrugged and went back to fiddling with the radio.

The drive was silent and we didn't drive to my housed. Instead we drove to Lukes house as he claimed he had to show Calum something. He told me to come in because they would take a while and he would give me a phone charger.
I trailed behind the boys who were messing and shoving each other. Luke opened the front door and allowed us to go in before him. He led us into the living room and told us to wait there while he went to get this 'thing' for Calum.
The doorbell rang and Calum sprang up to answer it while I flicked through the TV channels. I stopped on an episode of GLEE where Rachel and Finn were currently kissing. This led me to remember earlier events with Ashton and I groaned loudly and hit the cushion. Calum came back into the room followed by another body. Guess who it was? If you guessed Ashton you would be correct. He looked just as bad, if not worse, than I did. His eyes were bloodshot and you could tell he had been crying.
"Okay, well we'll just leave you guys to it," Calum said rushing out of the door.
"Bethany... we need to talk about earlier," Ashton said nervously. I shook my head quickly and began to stand and walk towards the door.
"No. No we don't Ashton, stay away from me."
He ignored my comment and grabbed me by the wrist pulling me back to the couch. 
"Shut up and listen to me," he whispered lowly into my ear, loosening his grip on my wrist slightly.
I found myself nodding at him and settling into the couch. He let go of me completely and ran a hand through his hair. He does that a lot, I found myself thinking.
"Okay Bethany. I'm just going to say it ok. Bethany, I like you, a lot... I actually think I love you."
