Titanium (Ashton Irwin Love Story)

seeing something

Before I know, he walks to us.....

---------------------------

I wanted to ignore him but I still see that he looks angry, or jealous maybe? No wait, he has a girlfriend. So he can't be jealous right? When he reaches us he pulls Michael up.
"What the hell are you think you're doing?!" He says while he grabs Michaels shirt.
"Uhh..." Michael says looking at me and then back at Ashton.
"He was cheering me up." I say while I stand up and push Ashton a little back so he needs to let go of Michaels shirt.
"Since when do you want to be cheered up by him?" Ashton asks to me.
"Since when do you care?" I reply.
"I just don't want you to..."
"To get my heart broken again? I'm sorry, it just got broken a few minutes ago." I say while I turn around walk away.
"Sierra!" He yells after me.
"Just go and fuck Madison or one of your other Devils, but leave me alone!" I yell over my shoulder while I grab Ashley's hand. She was watching the whole time. I lead her to the girls bathroom and then start to cry.
"Why does he need to be such an asshole?" I ask her while I sit down with my back against the wall.
"Sometimes, people say things they don't meant to be rude, they say that to protect themselves." She says carefully.
"Where the hell does he need to protect himself from?" I ask her.
"I don't know, from falling for you maybe?" She says lifting her shoulders.
"That's ridiculous. Ashton would never fall for me, he....." Then I stop. the tree, the kiss, maybe he's more afraid then I am. I mean, he has all reason to. My bestfriend broke his heart and he doesn't want it broken again, just like me.
I slowly stand up and my eyes wide. So he was falling for me? Why didn't he say so? Why didn't I see that? I look at Ashley and she smiles.
"Told ya." She smirks.
I smile too but then I remember something.
"I have no chance. He's with Madison." I say.
"How do you know that? You need to work on that project anyway. Just ask him when you're alone."
"You're right. Maybe I should just ask him." I say while I smile. I look in the mirror and fix some of my make up. Then I walk out of the bathroom. I freeze again when I see Ashton and Madison kissing. One side of me wants to cry again while the other side wants to punch Madison so hard she's gonna need more than a hospital. When she sees me she smirks. I sigh and walk to them.
"Hey, uhh, I don't want to interrupt your..... Little romance here but I need to speak to Ashton for a sec." I say and Ashton turns around.
"Whatever you wanna say, you can say that to both of us." He says.
Well, someone's pissed off.
"Fine then. We still need to work on that project and I really want to get a high grade for it.."
"So?"
"So we'll have to work on it. Together. With other words, you and I will have to work on that project at your house, our wifi broke down." I sigh.
"Fine, just come over after school." He sighs.
"Maybe I could come over after that..." Madison smirks to Ashton.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not comfortable with that. Besides, we don't know how long it will take to finish that project." I say. I know sure she'll be 'accidentally' too early.
"She's right babe. We don't know how long it will take and I want to finish this thing ASAP."
I almost need to puke when he said the word 'babe'. I turn around and walk away. I walk over to Ashley and we walk to class. Let the hell begin....

<><><><><>>><><><><><><<br>

When I walk into my last class of the day I see that the only seat is next to Ashton. That's weird. normally it would be claimed by one of the Devils. Ugh, maybe that 'quick getting something to eat' wasn't my best idea. I sigh and walk to the seat next to Ash. I ignore him and sit with my back to him.
"You know, it's rude to ignore people." He whispers.
"Fuck off Ash." I whisper back while I open my books.

I ignore him the rest of the class until the bell rings. I grab my stuff and wait for Ashton.
"Why are you waiting for me?" He asks.
"We need to work on the history project remember. now, let's go." I say while I begin to walk.
"We walk to the parking lot and I step into Ashtons car. We drive to his house in silence. When we get there I see that no one's home. We get into the house and I walk upstairs to his room.
"I'll be right there." He says.
"Sure."
I walk to his room and turn on the laptop. Ashton walks in and closes the door behind him.
"Did you find something?" He asks while he sits next to me on the bed.
"It's still loading." I say with my eyes on the screen. I can see that his eyes are on me but I try to ignore it.
"What?" I ask after a while.
"Nothing." He smiles shy.
"Then why are you--" I close my mouth thinking about the actual reason I came here.
"Ashton, may I ask you something?" I ask softly.
"Yeah, sure."
"Are you afraid of falling for me? Is that why you..... ran away last night? Is that why you and Madison....?" I ask.
"No, I already fell for you." He says and I look at him.
"But, you and Madison."
"It's nothing. I couldn't stop thinking about you, so I thought it was maybe better to take distance."
"But..."
"Stop with those 'but...'. I fell for you. Nothing I can do about that."
"You're afraid of a broken heart, aren't you? Just like me."
"I don't know."
my eyes go from his eyes to his lips and back.
Then I lay the laptop aside and push my lips onto his. I crawl on his lap and wrap my arms around his neck. He pushes me on the bed and climbs on top of me. He kisses me and goes with his tongue over my lips.
God, I missed those and it's not even 24 hours ago since the last time I kissed him.
