One In A Million ~Ashton Irwin Fanfic~

1.7 Lana

One by one, the high/drunk people pass cheering each other on to do stupid drinking games or to make fog rings with their cigarettes. But I'm still stuck on this bench sulking about my inconsiderate friends and the fact I probably won't see Ashton again so that sucks.

Come on Lana, you're stronger than this. You're the bad ass of your school do you really want people's stupid mistakes to get you down?
My conscience speaks and I listen. I don't want to get any lower than I already am because of my friends.

I have to apologise to them, forgive and forget.

I quickly jump off the bench, immediately running back to the van, hopefully everyone will be back and not too mad at me for wondering off.. Even though they did that to me yesterday, but I'm trying to forgive and forget no matter what.

As I approach the van there is already a huddle of people around it making my smile turn into a frown. What's happened since I've been gone?

I rapidly push people out of my way, some stay quiet whilst others curse me but I ignore their threats and see what's happening in this huddle.

Harry.

"What's happened?" I panic as Gina's holding Harry's lifeless body on the ground, Lola's crying and Oliver's trying to resuscitate my best friend. "W-we tried giving the drug guy all the money we had on us but he wouldn't accept it and charged more than he should've, so Harry stood up to him and told him that we weren't going to pay that much..." Gina sobs trying to get out another word but failing miserably. So Oli takes over as I have a blank expression "So the guy beat the shit out of Harry for basically refusing to pay, after doing so he accepted the 200 bucks we had and chucked us out and here we are." He sighs still pressing on Harry's chest and listening to see if he's still breathing and by the looks of it he is barely. "O-okay" I hesitate rubbing Gina's back trying to calm her down "why is there a crowd here then?" I continue to ask confused "I don't know, they just followed us from the tent" Gina cries as I nod telling her I'll take care of it.

I go to the front of the crowd breathing in deeply before speaking, "hey everyone!" I shout as their eyes revert from Harry's bloody body to me "if you all don't mind, can you leave? This is kind of a private matter you know?" I say being friendly and nice but this crowd just looked at me and back at Harry ignoring me. Right Lana time to be the bad ass again. I'm getting bored of the friendly Lana.

"Right ladies and guys! I'm getting sick of you all so can you please fuck off to anywhere but here thanks!" I shout as all their surprised faces give me dirty looks and go. That did the trick now back to Harry.

"Okay I've got a plan, Oliver and Lola you take Harry to the hospital and luckily we have a weekend pass so hopes you guys can join us later and I'll help out cleaning the blood with Gina." They all nod as Oli and I grab Harry and place him securely in the back of the van where Lola is holding his head, his once perfect black quiff is now messy and his glasses now shattered all over the floor. Poor guy. He's only light, like a noodle.

As the van leaves Gina breaks down into a million sobs "I-I'm so sorry Lans, what we did to you was wrong and so is taking drugs. This is the last straw. I'm done with weed, I mean it this time I promise" she sobs as she jumps on me to give me a hug "it's okay, it's okay I just have to forgive you all, I don't want to lose any of you as my best friends and some of the things I said to Oli and Lola were out of order." I sigh tightening my grip on the hug. "No you had every right to say those things.. We're the ones in the wrong. I mean look at poor Harry, he was only sticking up for us." She sighs louder rubbing her temples, still with tears flooding out her eyes. "He'll be okay I promise, the doctors will look after him" I soothe as she breathes out loudly "can I tell you something?" As I nod "Harry and I have been erm.. Screwing around for a while now but I've caught feelings for him and today's made me realise how much I actually love him." She sadly smiles obviously thinking about something. To be fair, I'm not that surprised she always goes to Harry first whether it be for advice or a 'friendly' cuddle. And the way he looks at her is electric so I'm quite happy that they've done something about it, sort of.

"I think he likes you too" I smile after a minute of silence, her bright green eyes sparkle as she looks at me "really? Do you think so?" She gasps as I nod "I mean Harry's one of the most shy boys ever, he wouldn't stand up and risk getting his butt kicked for just anyone, sure Lols and Oli were there but come on.. Plus the way he looks at you is as if the school opened a brand new science lab" I giggle as she does too "so you're comparing me to a science lab?" She laughs making me chuckle "basically" I smile.

"Why don't we go and see the headlining act? It'll take your mind off things." I suggest as she nods "let's get changed, I can't go in a t-shirt covered in blood.. People will think I'm Carrie on my period" she jokes as I laugh.

We both go into our separate tents and get changed, I choose to put on a very short lace White bralet with long flowing blue patterned pants, black block heel sandals with a grey choker and multiple rings. Just leaving my hair in natural waves and a bit of concealer, foundation, mascara and a thin line of eye liner on my top lid. As well as pale pink lip stick. Perfect.

"Okay I'm ready" I say leaving my tent and shorty followed by Gina dressed in a very low cut black, long sleeved top with black skinny jeans over the top and black sandals. She had little make up but she doesn't need it and she has put her hair into a plait. "You look stunning!" I smile as she laughs "me? You are gorgeous!" I smile and laugh "oh god stop" we both giggle and walk to the main stage. I really hope I see Ash.

As we get in there we immediately go to the drinks stand because I think we both need a few to be fair. "What do you want it's on me?" I ask Gina as she frowns "I should be getting them since you contributed to the 'situation'" she said the last part quietly as I shake my head "no I want to so come on.." I smile as she nods "just a vodka and Coke thank you" she smiles as I nod ordering.

We giggle waiting for the first act to come on when I notice something funny, at the bar there's quite a few model type girls basically getting their tits out for a free drink. I shake my head in disgust but what's even more gross is the three guys behind them; the tall one with a blonde quiff is holding one girls arse as if it's about to fall off, the Asian looking one is just staring and drooling like a dog on heat and the guy with brightly coloured hair is laughing and joking staring at each girl like a piece of meat. Disgusting.

But the only one who's actually cuddling a girl is the guy around 6 ft with, curly dirty blonde hair and a bandana.

Wait, is that? No it can't be..

I shake off the feeling for a few minutes until both the guy and girl turn to each other laughing at something. It is Ashton. With a girl at least 2 stone lighter than me, blonde and very tanned. She's beautiful.

I knew he'd never go for me.

"Erm.. Gina can we go?" I whisper as she frowns seeing my sudden change in mood "why? We've only just got here?" She smiles but then nods when she sees how sad I am.

Once we get out of the crowds Gina turns to me "okay what's up and don't say nothing because I know it's not nothing" she says being very stubborn "well when you and Haz were in that tent doing stuff, I met a guy, a really cute guy and we hung out the whole night because he lost his friends like I had and he slept in the tent with me that same night. Anyway, just then I saw him with a girl, a really pretty girl and yea I guess I'm a bit upset." I sigh brushing my hair with my fingertips.
"Well this guy sounds like the typical douche and he doesn't deserve an amazing girl like you Lana! Plus you're hot so it's his loss" she laughs as I do too "thanks can we just get loads of ice cream and retreat to the van, there's free wifi so we can watch Netflix?" I ask as she nods "I won't disagree with that" and we were off.
