Tutor- Mashton

chapter sixteen

~disclaimer, we know Ashton doesn't have a big brother called Chase in real life but for the purpose of this fanfic he does, enjoy~

Ashton's pov

I felt extra pressure being put on the hand that was gripping around my throat, I couldn't really see much due to lights around being completely shut down and it was getting closer to midnight,"you're gonna stop acting like that and do as I say okay?!, You don't want another punch do you?!",it was hard to breathe and the pressure I felt at the side of my waist was unbelievable painful too, "no please! No more p-pun-ch h hing! I-i-it it fucking hurts."it was only getting harder and harder to breathe and talking didn't make it much easier, the pain was starting to disappear but not for long, a fist was placed with a hard punch at my waist dangerously close to my hips and I heard a loud crack, knowing they must have been snapped by now, let out a cough at the same time I cried even more,"Don't you fucking dare talk to me like that!",Another punch was brought to my cheek making the taste of blood getting in my mouth, "Ashton!! ASHTON!!!"

My eyes shot open and my upper body was raised from the bed in a heartbeat, I was sweating insanely and coughing all over the place, I tried to catch my breath while being handed a glass of water, then feeling a hand stroke my back several times. I breathed heavily for a few minutes before I realized that the hand that was stroking my back was not my mother's hand. I turned my head around to see my brothers face I felt tears build up in my eyes as I swung my arms around his neck and squeezed the living shit out of him,"CHASE! You're home!"
I felt the tears run down my face faster than ever,The only person who had really been there for me ever in my life was finally here with me again,I couldn't believe that this was real, Maybe it was just another dream...

After a while of just sitting in my bed hugging I had calmed down by now and slowly pulled back even though I didn't want to at all, "W-why are you h-home?"
Chase was sitting with his legs crossed on top of my duvet fully dressed with his hair pulled back in a tiny bun,"Well can't a guy come home to his family just because he misses them?" He said with a chuckle and put his hand on my face wiping away the remaining tears.

As much as I wanted to believe him I knew he didn't come home because he missed us, It seemed like something he would do but he was way to busy getting a good education so he could get a real job and not those low paying shit jobs,he had before mum actually had enough money to pay for college,but I didn't care, the thing was that he was in fact there and he was going to stay..at least I think, "Well okay but how long are you staying?" I asked with curiosity "I don't really know yet but I promise I'll stay today, tomorrow and probably Saturday."I didn't remember how I ended up in my bed, the last thing I remembered from yesterday was me talking to Michael on the phone then falling asleep on the sofa. "Well I guess you gotta get ready for school so I'll leave and see you downstairs?"I gave a nod in response before he stood up from my bed and walked out of my room, I really wanted to tell him about why I didn't want to go to school but I couldn't,Not that I didn't want to just that the words would physically get stuck in my throat and just leave my mouth like meaningless sounds and eh's. As much as I didn't want to I managed to get up and dressed fastest time this week, maybe it had something to do with Chase being here, I really had no idea but now all I wanted to do was get this day over with and get back home to spend the day with my favorite person in the world.

I pulled on the same hoodie/ sweater jumper thing I had on yesterday and walked down to see Chase alone eating Cheerios in the kitchen, I tip toed up as quiet as I could and slapped my hands down at his shoulder, "FFFFUUUUCCCKKKK! He jumped up in his chair and spilled milk all over his pants and all over the counter, making me laugh hard, "You little shit!" as much as he tried to be serious I could see he was actually smiling and looking at me laughing like a little kid made him smile even more, I'll go change while you clean up this mess and than I'll drive you okay?"he pointed towards the table full of milk and cereal, "fine" I said and managed to calm down and stop laughing as I cleared up the mess.
