A Poisoned Mind

Chapter ninety nine

(Your name)’s POV:

Lying in bed, you heard Aston coming from the en suit after he had gotten himself ready for bed. While you were dozing off, you felt Aston climb in to bed and shuffle himself closer to you, before slithering his arm over your waist, and interlocking your hand with his, and then mingling your fingers together, this made you smile. “(Your name)...” He whispered quietly “mm,” you mumbled as a reply “you know I love you?” “Yes,” you replied “I... I want a big future with you... I wanna get married to you; I wanna have children with you... I... I want make you the happiest girl that’s walking on this planet, I want to do everything that makes you happy...” He said to you softly and quietly, but you noticed that he hasn’t spoken to you in such a desperate way before. This was making you concerned “I want to make sure our children get the perfect lives...” “Whoa Aston...” You said turning over to face him “what’s making you say all of this?” You asked “my love for you,” he said quietly “but you’re not usually this desperate to get something across to me... Is someone been telling you something?” You asked, still being concerned “I just don’t want you to leave me,” he said quietly and softly as a small tear rolled down his face “what makes you think that?” You asked, while propping yourself up on to your elbow, but he didn’t say anything, he just looked down towards the mattress of the bed, but this made you sigh “I was hoping you wouldn’t read my contract renewal,” you said softly, as you laid back down on to the bed and looked towards the window. “Will you leave me?” His voice quiet and soft like a child’s, but you looked at him, his eyes full of hope that you wouldn’t, his eyes full of fright that you would leave him, “I don’t know baby,” you whispered, but he broke down in tears, before getting up and moving out of the bedroom. Although, this made you feel terrible! To see Aston break down in tears over you saying ‘I don’t know’ what would he have done, if you said ‘yes’? He might have had a mental break down!

Getting up, you followed Aston’s footsteps to the corridor, but you looked in the spare bedroom... No Aston. Tracing the corridor, you walked towards the stairs, before trying to have a look in to the kitchen from the top of the stairs... No Aston. Sighing, you made your way down the stairs, but as you were half way down it, you looked in to the living room... No Aston. This was now beginning to worry you, he could now be anywhere! Hurriedly walking in to the kitchen, you made your way to the garage door before opening it... No Aston. Turning back, you then had a go at looking at the back garden... No Aston. Practically running, you went over to the front door, before looking through the letter box... There sitting on the doorstep, with a pair of jogging bottoms and no top, sat Aston in the freezing cold. Standing up straight while sighing, you quietly closed the flap to the letter box, before opening the door ever so quietly. As you opened the door, you grabbed Aston’s keys off from the small table, before going out and shutting the door quietly, and then sitting next to him on the front doorstep, by now he’d stopped crying, but was looking down at the floor. “Aston... I didn’t mean to make you sad, I... I just need to be somewhere different,” you said quietly, although he didn’t say anything “I just wanna experience a new place, you know. I just wanna be in a working environment in America, it’s always been my dream since I was a little girl,” you told him, but he stayed quiet “what about us?” He asked quietly “we’ll still be together, nothing will make us split apart,” you replied quietly back to him, as you wrapped your arms around him and laid your head on to his shoulder “your freezing,” you whispered to him, as you kissed his cheek “come back inside,” you whispered, as you went to get up, but he didn’t move “Aston... You’re gonna catch a cold,” you protested to him gently, but then he got up, as you did too, before walking over to the door and waiting for you to open the door, “you going straight back to bed?” You asked, but he nodded his head, just as you opened the door “okay,” you said quietly, before allowing the door to swing open, and letting him in first. Instantly, he made his way up the stairs, but you didn’t follow. You placed the keys back on to the small table, as you shut the door, before going over to the coffee table in the living room, you looked down at your question and answer sheet for your contract, but then you sat down and reread it [Where are you planning to go, for your next contract, (if you are NOT renewing your contract with your latest band)?], before rereading your answer [America, LA]. Sighing, you realized what that must have meant in Aston’s point of view, only then did you understand how much hurt he must be going through, but this is what you wanted, even from a little girl! So you didn’t change your answer. You just travelled back up the stairs...

Aston’s POV:

Lying in bed, I could heard (Your name) walking towards the bedroom. Just as I was getting comfortable, she walked in, for some reason this made me freeze in to one position, as I pretended to sleep. While I had my back to her, I felt her walk up behind me, before placing a soft and gentle kiss on to my cheek “night baby... I’ll always love you,” she whispered, before kissing my cheek again, before walking away, but as I opened my eyes again, I saw her standing in front of the window... She looked beautiful like that, and it just made me so sad that she might be leaving!

I quietly, got out of bed and crept my way up behind her. She had no idea, that I was up when I was stood behind her, just then I slithered my arms around her waist, which made her gasp with fright at first, but then she realized what was going on, before she relaxed back down, before going back to gazing at the moon. “Sorry,” I whispered to her as she smiled “its okay, but you should be asleep,” she whispered “I can’t sleep without you... I don’t know what’ll do, when you’re in America,” I whispered to her, as I laid my chin on her left shoulder “and if you want to go, you can... I understand what it means to you, if you have been dreaming to work out there since you were little,” I whispered to her. What I was saying to her was breaking my heart, but I understood the pleasure it would be for her to work over there! It was just so hard for me to let go... “I have... But...” “No buts, you go... I understand what it would mean to you... I have had a similar thing,” I whispered as she smiled, before turning around in my grip and ringing her arms around my neck “you sure?” She asked me “yeah,” “but this would be just before Christmas,” “and? Should it make a difference? It’s your dream, go and pursue it,” I told her with a smile, as she smiled back at me, before pulling me in to a tight hug “thank you, you’re the best,” she whispered in to my ear, as I smiled “I love you,” I whispered to her, “I love you too,” she whispered back, as I hugged her even tighter. Just then... My heart broke...

Courtney’s POV:

Walking down the road, I noticed that JB was in a car. Although, I never went over to him, but while I was walking down the road, I noticed that he was in the car with a different girl. A girl I certainly hadn’t seen before! I stood by the curb, just to make sure JB would see me, but for him to be out at ten ‘o’ clock at night with another girl, was a different story! Standing by the curb, I saw JB look out his front window of his car, from smiling from what the girl had told him, but then he caught my sight, and the smile he had on his face, was wiped off completely! Then I turned around and began walking down the road, back to my house. Although, I could hear someone call me “Courtney!” He called “Courtney! Wait up!” He called, but I was still walking “wait,” he sighed from being out of breath from having to run almost a half a mile of street. “It’s not what it seems! Trust me babe, she’s my brother’s best friend!” He protested, but I just shrugged my shoulders and walked off “babe, please!” “I’m not mad... I’m just going home,” I said quietly to him, but I saw the sadness in his eyes, as I walked away from him...

Siobhan’s POV:

Sitting on the sofa, Olly hadn’t come back home and he been over two hours late from work! I wasn’t worried, but I was just concerned on why he hadn’t phoned me like he usually would, just then my phone rang. “Hello?” I asked, as I picked up the call “babe! I’m sorry I hadn’t phoned earlier, Aston was telling me something,” “okay,” I said casually “you sure?” He asked “yeah, your dinner’s in the microwave, when you come back... I’ll be in bed,” I told him, before hanging up and making my way towards the stairs to go to bed.
