Beside You (An Ashton Irwin Fanfiction)

twenty one

         'Shh, It's okay' Harry hummed rubbing my back.

I sniffled in response wiping my eyes and looking up at him. 'I'm being stupid aren't i?' I ask playing with the ends of my hair.

'no, you're right to be upset. I do think you should talk to them about it, but you can stay here until you're ready.' he assures me.

I nod thanking him and following him into the bus.

I smile at Niall who is layed across the couch playing fifa.

'Y'alright Laura?' He asks smiling, I nod and sit down and let him lay his legs across my lap.

'Wanna join?' He offers and I nod grinning like a cheshire cat.

Grabbing a remote Niall adds me to the game while Harry laughs watching us.

'5-2 I WIN' I shout fist pumping the air, Niall chuckles 'I let you win'

I shake my head 'Of course you did..' I say sarcastically.

'another game?' Niall offers and I nod rolling my eyes.

Well, 5 games and 3 bags of malteasers later I had won almost every game against him. He won one, and only because I let him win;)

Zayn and Liam had come and joined us halfway through, Louis was out with Eleanor apparently.

10:48PM

My phone flashed and I sighed, 'I should probably go back to the bus' I say standing up.

The boys send me awkward grins and I send a kind smile hugging them all bye.

'You know where we are if you need us' Harry says walking me across the road to the bus.

'I know, thanks' I say hugging him again then stepping inside the bus.

'Guys?' I shout, no response.

After checking their beds i noticed they still weren't back. I sighed and got changed then climbing in my bunk.

__ Luke POV __

'She is gonna be so pissed off.' I mutter following my drunken friends into the bus.

'Dude eat a snickers' Michael says imitating the advert. I roll my eyes and flick on the lights.

I tell the boys to be quiet and creep up to Laura's bunk, I slowly pull back the curtain to see her eyes shut tight and her mouth open slightly.

I sighed with relief noticing she was asleep. My eyes flickered over to Ashton who pushed Calum and they both fell on the floor laughing.

I groaned inwardly as I noticed Laura shuffling in her sleep. 'w-wha?' she mumbles sitting up.

I look at her apoligetically, 'the boys are drunk, sorry Laura.'

she sighs and stands up, 'It's fine.'

__ Laura POV __

'Just get in bed Ashton' I begged for the hundreth time. Luke had got the other two to bed, falling to sleep himself so he left me to deal with Ashton.

'No, not until you forgive me' he says with a giggle.

I rolled my eyes sighing, 'no, Ashton, go to sleep we can talk about it tomorrow' I say in a hushed tone.

'why not now?'

'You're drunk'

'i'm sober actually' he slurs and I press my lips together hiding my laughter.

I tug on his arm dragging him towards his bunk, but he thinks it will be a good idea to get into mine.

'now you have to cuddle with me' he giggles opening his arms.

I roll my eyes and point towards his bunk, 'or i could sleep there' I say simply getting inside his bunk.

'Aww' he says frowning, and I close the curtain throwing the quilt over me. I slowly shut my eyes inhaling the smell of Ashton's cologne on his pillow.
