Good Friends || Ashton Irwin

8

School...

I can't stand school I hate everyone, except Vess.

It was round about 7:30 and I was sitting at the kitchen table eating toast and drinking some orange Tropicana, I was bored so I decided to message Vess,

To: VanESSa

Heyy, I'm bored talk?? :/

After I sent it I decided to watch American horror story for a bit.
8:05, I still haven't got a text from Vess so I checked the messages

To: VanESSa

Heyy, I'm bored talk?? :/
READ 7:46

Huh, that's weird, I didn't really think anything of it so I just got ready and started walking to school.

......

"Vess, hey! Vess wait up!" I started running after Vess when I saw him at his locker, "hey!" I said as I stood against the lockers coughing up my lungs

"Hey"

"What's wrong" I asked

"Nothing jeeze get off my case" he slammed the door of his locker and stormed off, I was stunned by his sudden outburst but went against running after him.

That day I sat at lunch alone, Vess no where in sight,

To: VanESSa

Are you okay?

Where are you?

Vess please talk to me!

Vess?

I decided on giving him some space and hoping all this will blow over soon.

.....

*bing*bing*bing

Unknown number

"Hello?" I answered hesitantly

"Sam! You awnsered"

"Ash?" I scoffed

"Please don't hang up, I want to talk to you" he pleaded

"What do you want?" I questioned

"Can we meet up tommorow after school?"

I stayed silent for a few seconds before agreeing to meet him at the park.

•••

I arrived at the park and sat on the swings waiting for Ashton.

I was early. That's why I didn't expect him to be here.
Minutes passed and I started to get bored, so I stood up

"Sam, wait!" I heard a breathless Ashton shout "wait!" Stopping in front of me to re-gain his breath I stood there awkwardly.

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked

"I wanted to-- I wanted to apologise" I rolled my eyes turning away until he grabbed my arm and spun me around, "I am truly, utterly sorry and I'll say it 100 more times if I have to, to get you to forgive me, or to not hate me"

Starting to feel sympathy towards him I remembered that he was the cause of why I was in and out of hospital for over a year. Though that didn't seem enough to hate him.

"Ashton, I don't hate you"

"You don't?" He sounded surprised

"I don't, but I also don't forgive you, not yet."

"Completely understandable, hug?" I nodded and wrapped my arms around his stomach, while he wrapped his round the back of my neck,

"I missed you ash"

"I missed you sammy"

•••

It has been a few days since I had that conversation with Ashton and were becoming closer again. Though I told myself that I was not going to let my walls down, not until I knew I could trust him.

We were currently in my house watching all the Harry potter's, currently on the prisoner of Azkaban, with Luke, Michael and Calum.

"Wait so serius black is Harry potter's God-father?" Calum asked

"Yeah, Harry's dad and serius were best friends at Hogwarts" I replied, affended by his lack of Harry potter knowledge.

We spent hours just sitting and watching the movie series occasionally getting up to use the toilet or grab a refreshing beverage or snack.
The film's finally ended and we tried to find something to do,

"My brother knows this guy who is having a concert tonight wanna go, they're pretty popular and we might even get the tickets free!"Luke suggested

"I'm down," I giggled at my use of language "what's the band called?"

"Eh, like nevershoutnever or something"
I suddenly froze

"You're brother kn-knows nevershoutnever?!" I stuttered

"Yeah, you like them?" He smirked

I stood up and walked over to my bean-bag chair where Luke was sitting, grabbing him by the collar of his t-shirt staring straight into his eyes

"Don't bullshit me hemmings, your brother knows them?"

I could tell he started to panic from the seriousness in my voice "yeah he does, let me go Sam" he stuttered,

My breathing started to become uneasy and I sat down on the floor just incase I passed out,

"Salmon you alright?" Michael asked

"Yeah I'm good, what the fuck, did you just call me salmon?"

"That's my new nickname for you" he said proudly

I just into a fit of giggles the boys quickly following after.

···

All the boys left to get ready as we had about an hour or so till the concert. Luke was able to get us tickets and backstage passes, which I cried about.

I put on jeans, a nevershoutnever shirt, black converse and straightened out my wavy brown hair.
I applied light makeup and walked over to my bed which I laid on when I was finished.

I picked up my phone and started to look through watt pad, I found the Dan and phil fanfiction I was currently reading blurry face (a/n I've actually finished that book, like 2 months ago)

As I read through the heart wrenching story I felt a sudden pain in my eye.

I dropped my phone on my face.

Muttering profanities under my breath, I walked over to the mirror hoping to see there wasn't a mark. There wasn't.

I went downstairs to the kitchen and poured a glass of water, I suddenly dropped it when I heard someone

"Hey Sam"

"Jesus Christ mum you gave me a fright!" I shouted bending over to return my breathing to a normal pace.

"I'm sorry babe, where you going?"

"To see nevershoutnever with friends" I said jumping on the kitchen counter

"And who are these friends?" She raised an eyebrow

"Just some guys I know"

"Oh so your going out with guys, I see, well have fun at the concert and make sure you use protection" she giggled moving over to hug me

"Ew what the fu- mum that's ew no!"

"Why did you say ew so many times? Are you a lesbian. I don't judge I'll love you whatever." She grinned

"Mum, I'm not a lesbian" I laughed

"Okay we'll have fun love you"

"Love you" then she disappeared
