Impossible // Ashton Irwin

Chapter 7

"What would you like to do now, love?" Ashton smiled at me.

"I don't know," I stood up and walked to the door of his room.

Ashton stood up and rushed after me, as I walked down the hall, "Where are you going?" he laughed as he caught up with me.

"I don't know," I started down the stairs, "I think we should watch a movie." I plopped down on the couch in the living room and watched Ashton as he walked over and sat next to me on the couch.

"What would you like to watch then?" he turned on the TV and scrolled through Netflix.

"What about 17 Again?" I suggested as I saw the title pop up.

Ashton sighed, "Sure." He clicked on the movie and it started to play.

The movie opened to a scene of Zac Efron playing basketball shirtless and just let me say that boy is hot! I smiled at the sight and Ashton noticed.

"Oh my gosh! It Zac Efron!" Ashton swooned in a girl voice, clearly making fun of my reaction, "He's so hot!" he laughed. Ashton's laugh is so adorable, I can't help but join in.

"Don't make fun of me!" I laughed, "You're just jealous of him."

"I am not jealous!" he protested, "For your information, I am pretty awesome at basketball myself."

"Oh really?" I said, imagining Ashton playing basketball shirtless.

"Livia?" Ashton waved his hand in front of my face, laughing and snapped me out of my daydream. Oops I guess I was staring.

"Sorry," I nervously mumbled and turned away from the smug little grin that Ashton had on his face right now.

He giggled and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me onto his lap. He turned me so my back is rested against his chest and kept his arms around my waist. I felt his chest rise slowly as he took in a deep breath.

The rhythm of his breathing was calming and I barely paid attention to the movie as I focused on Ashton's breathing.

About a half hour into the movie, the front door slammed open and we both snapped around to see what's happening. An older man stumbled through the door, clearly drunk.
Ashton slid me off his lap, "That's my uncle, I'm sorry." He stood up and slowly approached the drunken man. "Uncle Parker," he said carefully.

"What do you want boy?" his uncle slurred in reply. Even through his drunkenness, I could hear his Australian accent as well.
"Parker, just go upstairs," Ash pulled him back. Parker pushed Ashton up against the wall and had his arm across Ashton's chest holding him in place.

"Don't tell me what to do. I'm in charge and I'm the adult," Parker wickedly grinned and let Ash go. He turned around and knocked the small statue thing off the table by the door.

I gasped as I watched it crack into hundreds of pieces. Parker looked over at me and our eyes made contact before I quickly looked away. "Who's this? Another girl already Ash?" he let out a drunken giggle. He started walking in the living room when Ashton grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"It's no one," Ashton's whole body tensed.

"Fine, fine," Parker turned and slumped himself up the stairs.

"I'm really sorry about that," Ashton apologized as he sat back down next to me on the couch.

"I should probably call my mom, just see what's going on," I stood up and pulled my phone out of my pocket.

"Liv, I'm really sorry..." Ashton took my hand and looked up at me with his big, hazel eyes.

"It's fine, really it is," I reassured him, "I just need to check on my family."

Ashton smiled and let go of my hand.

"Hi Livia," my mom answered.

"Um... how is everything?" I asked nervously.

"David isn't going to be home for a while, so you can come home whenever you want."

"How long is 'a while'?"

"I don't know, sweetie..." I heard my mom lightly crying on the other line.

"He left?" I asked, hoping it's not true.

"I don't know..." she trailed off into more crying.
