Lost Boy (An Ashton Irwin FanFic)

Chapter 5 - Why?

Tayla's P.O.V

"That was the best kiss. I think I've ever had with a girl." Calum said his eyes sparkling. I felt my cheecks redden. Ashton's head dropped as I came back down to sit with him. He moved over in the opposite direction and I instantly felt terrible for kissing Calum. I just couldn't have kissed Luke because I feel nothing towards him, I definatly couldn't have kissed Michael because of Brie and Ashton, I just couldn't have kissed him. I couldn't bare to break his heart knowing that I couldn't date someone who was as unstable as he was. Besides it wasn't like I'm not attracted to Calum, because I am.

Calum's P.O.V

So Tayla picked me over Ashton. Does that mean she has feelings for me and I can actually make a move on her or does she just think I'm hot?

I really do like her she makes me feel alive. I can really explain it. She is just so sexy in every possible way. I had only met her today but I could think of more than one hundred different things I wanted to do with her. In fact Tayla is the only thing that has been going through my mind this whole afternoon.

Brie's P.O.V

I couldn't believe it. Tayla just kissed Calum. I saw the connection that she had towards Ashton and I knew she wouldn't have faked something like that.

"Did you just see what I saw?" Michael whispered into my ear.

"I'm really hoping not." I replied. "I saw her looking at Ashton earlier and it wasn't just any look it was the look Tayla gives when she is falling for someone."

"Really? how do you know?" He said like a typical guy. I swear they were the dumbest things on the planet.

"Yes really Michael best friends know this stuff. Something had to have happened between then and now." Michael looked at me funny. "When they went to the bathroom. something had to have happened then." I said feeling my inner Sherlock come out.

"Should you go talk to her about it? she looks like she is a bit upset by the way everyone reacted." He said looking over at Tayla. he was right, she looked very upset, a little guilty even. This wasn't her. Not the usual bubbly, happy, spastic Tayla she normally is.

"Yeah I will, be back soon." I said giving him a light kiss on the forehead before walking over to Tayla, grabbing her arm and pulling her out of the room.

Tayla's P.O.V

No matter how much I tried to get away from Brie's tight grip I couldn't. I eventually stopped fighting her and just let her drag me wherever she wanted to take me.

In the end we stopped once we got the the balcony outside. Brie sat me down on a chair and looked straight at me.

"What the hell was going through your head when you kissed Calum?"

"I...umm... I don't know." I said looking down to my lap.

"Well you should know! After looking at Ashton the way you did earlier today!" She was flipping it. There was nothing more in the world that Brie hated more than liars, cheats and fakes. "You led him on all afternoon and don't you dare deny it!"

"I'm sorry."

"Don't go saying sorry to me! Say sorry to Ashton!" Brie said cutting me out.

"Shut the hell up Brie! Let me talk!" I practically yelled. She let out a little sorry as I continued talking. "Stuff happened between me and Ashton. I just don't know whether I can be with him because of it and I'm just confused right now! I'm attracted to Calum quite a bit."

"So what are you going to do?" she asked.

"I really wish I knew the answer Brie. I guess I'll just go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens. Life is like a roller coaster it's twists and turns, ups and downs all pay off in the end and you actually have the time of your life."

"Oh you are so wise." Brie said bowing down at me causing me to laugh as we walked back into the house.

Brie's P.O.V

Tayla and I walked back into the lounge it was surprisingly quite. None of the boys were speaking. It was just Luke and Michael exchanging eye contact like they were both having a conversation with their minds.

As soon as we entered all eyes were on us. I walked straight over to Michael and jumped on top of the table to sit next to him. This time Tayla went over and sat on the floor on the opposite side of the room away from everyone else.

"What did she say?" Michael whispered into my ear again so nobody could hear us.

"Something went down between the two of them, causing her to doubt dating him." I said whispering to him.

"Do you have any clue about what that might be?"

"I don't know but what was weird was her hand had a number of band aids on her palm. I haven't noticed it until just before as I was pulling her out. it's like she cut herself on something."

Realisation crossed Michael's face. "I think I know exactly what she found out."

"And what is that?" I asked curiously.

"The fact that Ashton is depressed and he harms himself." Michael said it with the straightest face imaginable.

To be honest I was surprised by that. Yes Ashton seemed to get upset sometimes but I would never have thought he was that upset. Now I see why Tayla didn't tell me.
