The Boys (Ashton Irwin fanfic)

Chapter 24: Dizzy

The picture is what Kenzie looks like. Jamie from 'Fangirl'....

Ashton's POV
"You told her you want to be a veterinarian?" Kenzie furrowed her eyebrows at me, punching me in the arm.

"Yes...and ow!" I said,, rubbing my wound.

"Stupiiiiiiiidddd." She rolled her eyes. "Why'd you tell her that?"

"I don't know.."

"I do." She said sassily.

"Then why'd you ask me?!"

"Because I wanted to see if you were on the same page as me. And you clearly are." She sighed. "You're scared she won't be able to accept the fact that you want to become a huge band."

"No it's not..."

"You know it is, Ashton."

"You're going to tell her, aren't you?"

"No, I'm not. Because you're going to tell her."

And she left for class.

Sighing, I grabbed my books and headed to class. The one I have with Emma..

While in there, she caught me and Luke throwing spitballs at each other.

"You know, you're gonna need to know this stuff to be a veterinarian.." She smirked at me.

Not knowing what to say, I just shrugged. So nervous that I didn't even smile at her. I probably looked like such a jerk...

I could tell she was confused and kind of hurt because she bit her lip and looked down at her lap.

**********
"Well, bye." I smiled at her. Emma had stayed silent the whole car ride to her house and the rest of the school day. Did I hurt her feelings that bad?

"Ashton." She began.

I stopped talking.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing. W-what makes you think there's something going on?" I nervously laughed.

"You just acted weird today.." She quietly said.

"No I haven't."

"Ashton, what's going on?" By this time, she wasn't having any of it.

I took a breath. "The truth is...I don't want to be a veterinarian."

She furrowed her eyebrows and a frustrated look turned into a confused one. "Okay...why didn't you tell me? What do you want to be then?"

"Me and the guys are in a band. We make YouTube videos. I want to make it big."

Her face looked a little hurt. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know..." I shrugged.

"You don't know a lot of stuff lately and I can tell you're lying." She bit her lip, getting back in the car, being able to tell that I'd be here longer than she thought.

"It's hard to explain."

"Hard to explain the fact that you tried to hide this from me for over a year?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I guess I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept that."

"Ashton, I would've accepted that. I pretty much told you that the night I confessed my feelings to you. I did without even knowing." She sighed, getting a bit flustered.

"You mean after you shot me down when I confessed my feelings to you because you were afraid of what others would think?" I snapped at her only to regret it a second it slipped out.

"Well I'm sorry that I was raised to try so hard to be perfect and just saying but people expect so much from me! You're just not used to that because you never try!" And with that, she was slamming the car door and stomping into her house, forgetting her stuff in my car.

Great...

Emma's POV
"Dang it." I muttered when I realized that I left my book bag and my purse in Ashton's car. I wiped off the tears I didn't know I had running down my cheeks. Why am I crying? Is it because I'm a girl who was reminded about a mistake I made that I'm still beating myself up about or the fact that I told my boyfriend that everyone expects only bad from him?

Ugh...I can't handle this right now...all of these thoughts scattering my head and it's making me feel dizzy.

I'll just have one of the guys or Kenzie get my things for me. No big deal.
