Summer Love- Harry Styles / Ashton Irwin

Chapter 24

"What the hell is this?!" Ashton shrieked in anger as he pulled out the once screwed up note I received from Harry this morning.

"A note. What does it look like." Harry spoke, not looking phased from his anger at all.

"I didn't write it. Which means you did. And you met with him didn't you?" He turned his attention to me and my I felt the heat rise to my face.

"I-"

"Harry whats going on?"

I didn't recognize that voice.

My eyes landed on a beautiful girl. Her hands were twirling around the tips of her hair as she spotted me.

A smile appeared on her lips as she turned back to Harry.

Is she here with Harry? What were they doing in there?

"Just go back inside Jess I'll be in in a minute."

I swallowed. Am I jealous? I don't have the right to be... but the feeling in my stomach tells me I most definitely am jealous of Harry and 'Jess'.

"Ariah!"

Voices called behind me as before I could muster a word my feet took me as fast as they could away from the situation I was sandwiched right in the middle of.

Harrys P.O.V.

Ashton ran after Ariah, me choosing to stay away for the time being. I went back inside to Jessica, who was in the process of slipping her bag over her shoulder.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, um you seem busy." She smiled sheepishly and I shook my head.

"No, no." I said, softly pushing her against the wall and sliding her bag off of her shoulder.

"You have my full attention." I whispered in her ear, her hands latching around my neck as our lips connected.

*****

"That was amazing." Jess spoke, her hair sprawled across my chest as I traced patterns on her shoulder blade.

I didn't respond, her leaning up to kiss me once again.

That was until my eyes caught sight of Ariah running by the living area and to the bunks.

I swiftly sat up.

"Uh, you need to go." I said, quickly dressing and heading to where Ariah was.

Jess scoffed, muttering a few unpleasant words to herself which were obviously directed at me as she stormed out.

"Ariah?"

"Go away Harry." Her voice was filled with pain as she dabbed the tissue underneath her eyes.

"What happened?" I sat beside her, ignoring her order to leave her alone.

"Harry seriously. Im not in the mood." She hopped off of her bunk and exited the bus once again.

What was up with her? Had he hurt her? Or was it me? Had she seen me with Jess? She wouldn't have cared, she has Ashton.

He's definitely the one in the wrong.

Ariahs P.O.V.

I came back to my bunk to get away from Ashton, not wanting to spend another second in his controlling company.

But when I came back, there he was, butt naked with 'Jessica'.

His sharp reaction to seeing me sent my mind into confusion.

One day he's confessing his love for me.

The next he's sleeping with another girl.

Why do I even care? I don't even know him properly and I have a boyfriend.

Get a grip Ariah.

I decided to go for a walk and skip the lads show tonight.

The light sky soon turned dark along with over fifty missed calls and text messages.

Id been walking around endlessly for the past two hours and finally the calls stopped.

Which meant they had started the show.

If I went back now Id have time to pack up and leave without them seeing me...

I flipped my suitcase shut and was about to lift it upright when a large hand slammed down, knocking it to the floor.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Ashton. Um, just home for a few days..."

"I don't think so. Your homes here with me." He took a step closer and I swallowed.

"Ashton I don't think we should be together anymore." I whispered, avoiding eye contact.

A chuckle released his lips and I looked up.

"How are you ever going to find out who you were before your accident if you leave me? Im the only one who knows the truth." He smirked and disappointment filled my entire body.

"Please-"

"Shhh...." He ran his hand down my cheek and pulled me close roughly.

"You're mine for as long as I say." I turned my face away from his as he tried to kiss me.

He forcefully turned my head back to face him.

"Don't be so rude A." He smirked, receiving the exact reaction he'd hoped from that nickname.

He knew how much I hated it, causing me to flip his hand off of me.

"Hey Ariah?" He called before I exited. "I love you." The cockiness in his voice made me sick as I left the bus.

Immediately I broke down, my knees buckling and tears streaming down my face.

In the middle of the car park.

"Pathetic." I heard Ashton mumble as he passed me.

How did the love of my life turn so cold? Why? What am I supposed to do now...
