Beside You (An Ashton Irwin Fanfiction)

twenty nine

'Thinking about it, you both have been arguing quite a bit recently.' Calum points out.

I shrug, 'I havent really noticed, he seems to get angry over the tiniest of things. I just, I don't know anymore.' I say sighing.

'So you slept down here?' He asks and I shake my head,

'Mikey gave me his bed and slept on the sofa, as soon as i was out he went back up.' I reply giggling quietly.

He nods scooping his Lucky Charms into his mouth.

I then look over at Finn who is silently drinking his water. I smile and look back at Calum who says

'Get your phone we'll do a keek.' He says and I shrug getting it and quickly fixing my appearance before pressing record.

'Morning Guys!' Calum waves and I grin 'We just wanted to say hey, and see if you liked the twitcam yesterday!'

I then hear Finn scurrying around and I giggle.

'As you see, Finn really did' I say pointing the camera towards him.

Calum pouts 'I'm cuter than him!' He protests and I laugh stopping the recording. I quickly post it and stick my tounge out at Calum.

Ge then picks me up running out of the kitchen. I laugh hitting his back, 'Put me down!' I tell him laughing.

Calum suddenly comes to a stop and puts me down, I spin around and the grin in my face fades when I see Ashton glaring at us.

I frown as he walks past us, and I sigh following him into the kitchen.

'Hey' I start and he shuffles around the kitchen ignoring me.

I look at calum who pushes me towards him, then running up the stairs.

I sigh and look at Ashton, 'Please talk to me.'

'Ash, Ashton!' I say turning his head to face me.

He sighs and looks down at me.

'Is it true?' he whispers barely and I step back shutting my eyes.

'you dont trust me.' I say shaking my head.

'No, i just I'm not sure.' he mumbles.

'You can't keep doing this! Getting angry or annoyed at me when you're the problem here! Why don't you trust me?!'

He groans and punches the wall.

'Punching things won't help' I say crossing my arms.

He punches it again, and turns to face me.

He walks towards me but I flinch, as he lifts his hand.

I look up slowly and see his eyes wide open, 'Y-you thought I'd hurt you?'

I sob quietly and shake my head quickly.

'I'd never, Laura I couldn't hurt you. I'd would't touch you' he whispers.

He steps towards me but i stumble backwards

'Laura please' he begs

As i slowly step out of the kitchen I feel Finn jump up at my feet.

I quickly pick him up, cradling him. 'I'm going upstairs, you should go calm down.' I say walking up the stairs.

'Laura, just-'

'Go.' I say sighing and step into my bedroom placing Finn on the floor. 'How'd it go?' Luke asks walking in the room.

I sigh and feel my eyes water up again as he wraps his arms around me.

I hear the door slam shut and thats when the tears fall.

'I-I flinched' I stutter and he frowns in confusion.

'He was angry, and punched the wall. But when he walked to me, I flinched. I didn't mean to' I cry.

'I know he wouldn't..'

He nods hugging me again while hushing me.

'It's okay, it's alright.' He repeats and I shake my head looking up at him.

'It's not though is it?' I say and he sighs not replying.

✌

'And when the phone call finally ends, you say, "Thanks for being a friend," And we're going in circles again and again'

I laugh turning off the boys' song. 'Hey! I was enjoying that!' Calum says and i laugh hitting his arm.

'I'm gonna order pizza go ask the others what they want' I tell Calum and he nods walking up stairs.

'Can i join?'

I gasp slamming my hand on the table for balance. I take a breath leaning my head forwards.

'I didn't mean to frighten you.' he says quietly.

'I know.'

I hear laughing and turn my head as Calum and Michael jog down the stairs.

The look up and stop laughing awkwardly.

'Oh, sorry we'll go-' Calum starts but i shake my head.

'It's fine. What pizza do you want?' I ask ignoring Ashton's stare.

'Pepperoni, Meat Feast, and mushroom&ham, oh and some chips and chicken' Michael says shuffling past Calum into the kitchen.

I nod and pick up the phone and walk into the other room.

After ordering the food I turn around to face the only eyes of Ashton.

'What?' I say rubbing my forehead.

'I just, want to sort things out.'

'Can't it wait?' I sigh as he shuffles around the room.

'No, I hate this.' He groans and I cross my arms.

'And i dont? Lets talk tomorrow atleast. Please, you're still tense. I can't take another argument.' I beg and walk out of the room leaving him alone.
