Leaving (An Ashton Irwin Fan Fic) *in major editing*

12

Ashton's P.O.V:

"Ashton?"

"Luke mate, can I have a word?" 

Luke agreed and followed me to the back end of the pub. Of course I noticed that he was sat down with Darcy and Calum, and putting two and two together it was quite obvious why. Luke sings, Michael sings, Calum sings. I never expected them to be in the band that Calum was put in. Also, i don't understand why Luke or Michael didn't tell me about them being put into a band, we've been friends for years now. 

"Whats up Ash?" 

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ran my hands through my hair, probably putting it into a right mess. 

"Tell you what? You're not making any sense."

"About the band. I know. Were you just expecting me to never find out?"

"How do you know about the band? I was going to tell you but i know how much it would of meant to you to be doing it with us."

This is seriously pissing me off now. He thought it would be necessary to not tell me because i would be jealous? Of course i wanted this too, but I'm not that much of a dick. If i would have joined them sooner then i would be doing this with them, and not being left out. I was so close.

"It doesn't matter how i know it just matters that you thought it would be necessary to hide it from me, am i such an asshole that you thought i would ruin it for you?"

"No Ash, you know that's not what he meant. We've been trying to find a way to tell you without it ending like this. London is a big deal and its not something you can just bring up in the middle of a conversation." Michael pitched in. 

I couldn't take anymore of their crap and decided it would be best for me to just leave. I could tell I was getting too worked up. Its not the fact that they got the chance and i didn't, its just that i was so close. Calum doesn't even know them and he's managed to get into the band. That should have been me.

 London?

Darcy's P.O.V:

"Luke mate, can i have a word?" He didn't look happy and that made me slightly uneasy. 

Luke followed him to the back of the pub and out of sight. Cal, Michael and I said nothing.

"Shit." Michael said just loud enough for me to hear. 

"Whats wrong?"

"Ash isn't going to be happy." He seemed to totally dismiss my question and continued muttering things. He then stood up and began pacing around the room. What was wrong with Ashton that Micheal seemed to get so agitated? Was there something that i didn't know about Ashton that made Michael so on edge. Luke also complied pretty quickly which only makes me think that things could be bad. Cal was watching Michael and seemed just as confused as i did. Michael then ran his hands through his hair and began jogging to the direction that Luke and Ashton had just gone. 

"What do you thinks going on Cal?"

"I have absolutely no clue."

Ashton then appeared and looked even more angry than before. He looked at Cal and I but his face didn't seem to soften at all. 

Luke and Michael then appeared afterwards and joined us again. They began eating their pizza again as if nothing had happened. 

"You not going to explain whats got Ashton so worked up?" Cal stated the thing that was obviously on both of our minds. 

"You know Ash?"

"Yes, but that wasn't the question. Whats wrong with Ashton."

"He was kind of in mine and Michaels band. He wasn't in any of the videos though, so the dude from Syco doesn't know who he is. So, only me and Michael got picked to go into this band."

"We also couldn't tell him because it meant just as much to him as it did for us. He found out and wasn't very happy, but how do you know Ash?" Michael added.

"He has a soft spot for Darce."

I was quite upset for Ashton. If that had happened to me i think i would have probably acted the same. I don't understand why he was so cold to Cal and I though. Its not like we kept it from him, we didn't even know that he knew them 

Ashton's P.O.V:

I have calmed down slightly. It was still a shitty move to make and i still don't want to talk to them about it again. Darcy was at the pub and she probably heard me kicking off at Luke, and she probably hates me now. 

I don't even know where i am. I think that deciding to walk off my anger wasn't the best idea because now i am completely lost. The word 'London' still rang freshly in my ears. What could be so bad about London that it couldn't be brought up? 

I don't even want to think about this situation any more, its giving me a headache. I need to talk to someone but the only people i have that i can talk to are Luke and Michael. Its probably some ridiculous time in Australia and i think my mum would kill me if i rang her at this time 

I still have no idea where i am. I pulled out my phone and decided on ringing some taxi firm to take me back to my flat. Within 15 minutes i was in the taxi and on my way home. 

I payed the man and entered my home. I could see The Swan from my window and i knew they wold still be in there. The pub looked packed which could only mean that there was going to be someone preforming, no doubt its going to be my 'friends'.

I was so close to my dream. I feel like everything i have ever wanted has just been ripped apart in front of me. The main reason for moving to England was to have a better chance of achieving my dream. I wanted to move to London but instead settled on moving to Swindon which is just outside of London. It was all for my dream. It was all to be a drummer. 

On the subject of London, what did Michael mean?
