Ashton woke up with a throbbing headache. Memories of last night flooded into his head, and all he could do was let out a pained groan. At that moment, the hazel eyed young adult had decided that he was never ever gonna go out to a club with Calum again. He rolled over to the other side of his bed where his phone was laying and picked it up, squinting at the bright light in his dim room. He quickly turned his phone brightness down and checked the time. 6:30 am. Ashton closed his eyes happily and thanked all of the gods out there because he had still had an hour before his alarm goes off signaling him to get up and get ready to go to class. He turned his phone's volume all the way up and double checked that he still had his alarm set before he placed his phone under his pillow and cuddled up into his warm blankets. He laid in his bed comfortably, trying to ignore his terrible headache and slowly drifted into a calm slumber.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Ashton's eyes shot open at the muffled banging sound right on the wall that his headboard was placed against. It stopped, and Ashton sighed in relief. He closed his eyes once more and burried himself in his comforter.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Ashton threw his comforter off of him frustratedly and checked his phone. 6:35 am.

'Guess I'm getting a head start today.' He thought to himself and got out of bed. He walked into his bathroom, but not before he tripped on one of the many boxes he still had to unpack. He winced once his bare feet hit the cold tiles of the bathroom floor and quickly made a note in his brain to buy a rug for his bathroom. Preferably blue. It would match the shower curtain. He quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, hoping that it would rejuvenate his tired and hungover appearance before he walked back into his room that was being filled with Thump. Thump. Thump-ing sounds. He tried his best to ignore the erratic noises, but stopped in his tracks when he heard a muffled, but loud as hell moan. His eyes widened, and suddenly he felt self concious in his own home. The thumping noises were growing louder and faster when suddenly it stopped. Ashton let out a breath that he didn't even realize he was holding before he finally started back to his wardrobe. He changed from his pajamas to a simple grey shirt that he cuffed at the sleeves, black skinny jeans and black chelsea boots. He grabbed his bag off his bedroom's doorknob and carelessly slung it over his shoulder. He texted Calum that he was coming a bit early to pick him, 'but you can take your time' he had wrote in the text before making his way to the front door. He grabbed the his keys that were hanging on a hook next to the door and placed his hand on the doorknob to open it, but paused immediately when he heard his neighbor's door open.

"Can I get your number?" He heard a girl's voice on the other side of his door. He rolled his eyes. So his neighbor likes to shag girls who he doesn't even know.

"Sorry, babe. This was a one time thing." He heard a male's voice then a loud slam. Ashton heard the girl scoff then start to walk away, the clicking of her heels fading in the distance. So his neighbor likes to shag random girls he doesn't know and he's a complete jerk. He shook his head and cursed to the same gods he thanked that morning. He just wanted a peaceful and respectfully quiet neighbor. Just like Mrs. Peyton, the sweet old lady who lived across from Ashton who surprised him with cookies when he moved in last week. Or Jason and Mary, the lovely newlywed couple that took the apartment next to Mrs.Peyton and invited him over for dinner three days ago. No one seemed to mention anything about his next door neighbor who is kind of an asshole and has loud sex at 6 in the morning with a complete stranger. Why didn't anyone mention anything about him? He'll be sure to ask Mrs. Peyton about him the next time she asks if he wants a slice of her homemade apple pie.
