TAA - Ahren Stringer

I Should Hate You...

Y/N

Being the merch girl for your favourite band The Amity Affliction was a dream job because you got to travel the world with your best friends; well you got on with everyone minus Ahren. You couldn't understand him and his changing emotions.

Ahren was hot and cold around you, one minute he was super flirty but then he would turn around and mock and bully you before tugging on your heartstrings once more. Joel told you to keep your cool and not to give Ahren the satisfaction of knowing he was getting to you.

Today was no different, Ahren taunted you from the second you got up and it was getting harder and harder to not show him a reaction. You choose to ignore him and spend the day sorting through the merch to keep yourself occupied.

There was no doubt in your mind that Ahren was a drug you couldn't get enough of, he was good looking and you'd give him your heart in a heartbeat. But you needed your rage to beat out your lust.

"Look what we have here if you want anyone to love you y/n you should probably lift more boxes and eat less chocolate."

Ahren laughs and leans against the trailer. You put your bar of chocolate down and clench your fists. You were worried about your weight and had dealt with bullies calling you fat for years when doctors said you were perfectly healthy. You stand up with your back to Ahren tears welling behind your eyes. Joel said to ignore him but you couldn't take it any longer.

"You know what fuck you Ahren. You're a heartless bully, you have no right to pick on me and play with my emotions."

You feel him put a hand on your shoulder but shove him off before turning around to punch him in his pretty smug face. But he grabs your fist and uses his weight to push your whole body up against the trailer.

"I probably deserve a punch or three y/n."

You struggle against his grip on your wrist and the arm he had around your waist to keep you in place.

"I should hate you Ahren, but for some reason, I can't."

Ahren shushes you and releases your wrist, you drop your hand to your side and watch as Ahren strokes his fingers down your cheek wiping away a tear or two. He actually looked sorry for his actions.

"I don't know why I'm mean to you y/n. From the second Joel introduced you I wanted you. But every other guy on this tour has their eyes on you so I thought if I was mean it would set me apart. But you hate me, or so you should y/n."

You throw your head back and laugh, "you're so dumb Ahren I only have eyes for you. I thought you liked me but then you say and do cruel things and I start to doubt my feelings."

"Don't doubt your feelings y/n. Screw it I've wanted to do this for months."

You stare at Ahren in confusion before he smashes his lips down on yours. You jump in shock at the new sensation running through your body, it was foreign but you liked it. You kiss him back feverishly and latch your fingers in his hair forcing him to deepen the kiss.

"Get it on you crazy kids."

Ahren pulls back and you look over his shoulder to see Joel and the rest of the band cheering and whooping. You bury your face into Ahren's shoulder and he laughs running his fingers through your hair to calm you down.

"Will you be my girlfriend y/n?"

"Yes, as long as you stop being a first class dick."

Ahren nods his head and licks his lips, "I think I can do that for you y/n."

Ignoring the rest of the band watching you, you take the initiative and kiss Ahren back. Hopefully, the rest of the tour would be more tolerable now you and Ahren were dating.
