Self Inflicted - Ashton Irwin

Chapter 3.

Ashton's POV.

Wow. That is the hottest girl I've ever seen. I have to take her on a date. Hopefully I can put up with her sarcasm for a whole night. It doesn't really phase me that she can be so rude like it makes her who she is and I know it's all just play. I think. I walked over to the rack and grabbed the dress she had on, but I grabbed it in a size 8. The size that was missing was a 12 so I'm guessing that's what she was ,wearing. It was too long and not tight enough, she has the most beautiful figure I've ever seen and she needs to embrace it. I went over to the counter and bought it for her, I have to show her how to have a good night and attire is step 1. I decided to ask the counter chick, or whatever they're called, to put the dress on hold until 5pm. After it was organised I walked over to the store doors and leant against the frame. As Kat walked out I smirked at her and she narrowed her eyes at me. I couldn't help but laugh, she's so cute when she tries to intimidate me. I don't exactly tower over her as to intimidate her either, we are the same height and I love it, she's not too short and she isn't too tall, she's just right. As she strutted out the door, her shoe lace, which might I add was not tied up, got caught underneath her foot and she tripped over on to the concrete. I tried to grab her but I missed and she landed face first on the pavement. I helped her up and looked at her face which was all scratched and it was covered in blood.

"Oh my god" I said a little too loudly. She replied slowly, "thanks, you look great too." And she rolled her eyes at me, of course. "I'm taking you to the emergency room. Let's go." For once she didn't argue with me. Savouring this moment. I started walking at a fast pace but she couldn't keep up. Just as I grabbed her arm was about to yank it and pull her forward, she went limp but luckily this time I caught her. I stood in front of her while holding her up with her arms and pulled them over my shoulders, causing her to lean on my back. By the way, this is all taking place in the middle of a busy pathway in Melbourne. I grabbed her by her thighs and hoisted her up on my back and started power walking to the hospital, luckily it's only about a 5 minute walk otherwise my legs might have given way. Thank god she isn't heavy though other wise it would be awkward telling her she had to bleed on the pavement because she was too heavy. It's actually not even hard carrying her, I carry my little sister around all the time so I'm pretty used to it. Once we got to the hospital I sat her down in a chair and spoke to the office chick and got some stupid form to fill out. When I sat back down Kat was awake.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, my face hurts a bit but I'm alright. Did you fall over as well or something?"

"No. Why?"

"Because your face looks pretty fucked up HAHAHAHA"

I gave her the finger and passed her the form and pen so she could fill out her details.

"How did you get me here?"

"I carried you."

"Really?"

"Yeah I did."

"Yeah I know, I woke up when you put me on your back."

"SO I DIDNT HAVE TO CARRY YOU?!"

"Shh we are in a hospital in case you didn't notice hahaha, no you didn't have to carry me but it was good because I'm lazy and tired."

"You're such a twat hahaha"

I smirked at her and she gave me the biggest fake grin ever and then she burst out laughing.

"HAHAHA SOZ BUT I CANT EVEN FAKE A SMILE HAHAHAHA"

I playfully death stared her and she chuckled and continued filling out the green form. She has the cutest laugh ever.

Kat's POV.

Ashton took the form and gave it to a scary looking Samoan lady. She had black frizzy hair that looks like she's never washed it before and she has the biggest scowl on her face. She looks like she's gonna have small children for dinner. After half an hour of reading through magazines and rolling my eyes at Ashton's shitty jokes, they finally called my name. I told Ashton to wait outside but he insisted on coming in with me.

"So what seems to be the problem Ms Karamakov?"

"Can you not see that my face is fucking bleeding?"

"Sorry. Okay just looks like some minor cuts, I'll get you some disinfectant swabs and you can clean your face up."

"Yeah thanks" I said sarcastically.

The doctor came back with a pack of little swabs and said that it's best if I wipe the cuts myself because it is going to hurt a lot. Before I could grab one, Ashton grabbed the box and said, "I'll do it because I know you won't be able to do it yourself." How does he know me so well? Ashton dabbed a swab on the cut on my forehead and I screamed in pain. Fuck this. I tried to push Ashton's hand away but he grabbed both of my wrists with one of his hands and continued to dab with the other. I finally got my arms out of his grip and started punching his stomach and chest to help relieve the pain. It worked. After what felt like 3 hours, Ashton had finished and for some reason I apologised for bashing him. He just laughed and said, "no worries babe."

"Don't call me that."

"Don't call you what?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

"What? Babe?"

"Yes. I hate that word, it's demeaning towards women. We are not something you can claim as your own and call it what you want."

"So-rry" he said in a dramatic and sarcastic way. I death stared him yet again and he did that stupid laugh of his. He sounds like a cackling hyena. It is pretty cute though. Ew, no it isn't. I have a habit of complimenting people in my mind and then taking it back because I feel too nice, as you can tell. We walked out of the hospital and I turned around to Ashton and said,

"Sorry but this is where today ends."

"At least let me walk you home"

"As long as you don't call me babe ever again"

"Okay babe"

I shot him the dirtiest look and he just laughed.

"Kidding, kidding. Okay I won't call you the b word again"

"Good, you can walk me home then"

We walked to my house and we said our goodbye's.

"See ya loser."

"Bye hot stuff"

"No. just no"

"So-rry Katrina"

"Don't call me that."

"Okay Katrina"

I slammed the door and chuckled lightly. I swear I could hear him laughing from the other side of the door. I said hello to mum, and naturally she didn't acknowledge me, and I walked up stairs and just lied on my bed, still dressed in what I wore today, and I instantly fell asleep.
