Separate, But Made as One (Ashton Irwin Fanfiction)

Old Companions

Brianna's POV





It was supposed to be a good day today, typically how it is everyday in LA. So, I decided to go for a run, early in the morning. It was about 5:00. Instead of shorts, I put on a pair of yoga pants, since the mornings were usually a little chilly. I made sure to be as quiet as possible when getting out of bed and getting around the house. I struggled to release from Ashton's grip on me. He had both his arms wrapped around my waist. He has been extremely clingly lately, and I don't know why. I took in a moment to realize how cute this was then I snapped out of it and tried unwrapping his arms. He was too strong, even in his sleep. Finally, I slid out of his grip. I heard him whine and call for my name, yet he was still asleep. He face looked discouraged and frightened that I wasn't next to him.


"Shhhh," I said trying to get him to relax, "I'll be right back. Go to sleep, babe." I brushed my fingers through his messy hair. He seeemed to quiet down a bit more, so I tiptoed out of the room.


I put on my yoga pants, sports bra, and fleece. I decided not to take a shower because I would get sweaty anyway and I didn't want to wake the boys from the running water. I sat down at the bottom of the staircase and tied the laces on my sneakers. I removed my phone from its charger, grabbed my keys and I was ready to go. I loved it here in LA. I'm tired of the cold and heavy snowfall up north. I want something different. It's bright and sunny all year round, just how I like it. I would consider moving here someday. Once I hit the main road, there were plenty of other joggers with the same idea of getting an early exercise. It was 5:17 when I left and 5:49 now, so I stopped at a cafe for a break, before I continued for a bit more and head back, or else Ashton would worry about me. There isn't many people here this early, so I went straight up to the register, and ordered. I got a bagel and an apple with water, since I got thirsty. I paid the lady at the counter and found a seat near the window in the back. Before I could take a bite out of my bagel, I heard a familiar voice say my name.


"Brianna?" The voice asked. I looked up and realized who it was.


"Aden?" I'd recognize those eyes anywhere. He nodded. "Oh my gosh Aden! I haven't seen you in forever." I got up and gave him a hug.


"I see you still eat you bagels plain." He looked over at what I ordered. I was never fond of condiments on anything. I usually eat it plain.


"Somethings just don't change." He laughed.


Aden was probably the only guy I talked with in high school. All the the other guys were douches. All they were looking for was a another girl to hook up with, so I just ignored them. Unfortunately, in our second year, he had to move because his Mom got a promotion. So they had to relocate from Pennsylvania all the way to California. I had missed him so much. While we were talking about our days in high school, a girl came up next to him.


"Babe, our order is ready." She said and he wrapped his arms around her waist. " Oh, hi!" She smiled at me.


"Brianna, I would like you to meet my fiance Rebecca."


"It's nice to meet you!" We shook hands. "and congratulations! How long?"


"Four months." She replied happily.


"Brianna was one of my best friends in high school."


"Well, it's a small world after all!" She laughed. She seemed so sweet. I'm really happy for Aden.


"Anyways, what are you doing in California?"


"I'm actually here recording my album before I start my tour."


"Wow! That's amazing. I knew you would make it big."


"I was really surpri-" I was interrupted by my phone ringing. I looked at the caller ID; it was Luke. Why would be calling this early in the morning?


"I'm sorry. Hold on one second." They said it was fine and I answered the call.


"Hello?"


"Brianna! You have to come back, quick! No time to explain, just hurry." Luke said panicked. Before I could answer, he hung up.


"Is something wrong?" Rebecca asked me concerned.


"Yea. Something came up. I'm sorry I have to leave so suddenly." I picked up my food and threw it out.


"Here is my number", I quickly took a pen off the counter along with a napkin, "hopefully we can meet up again sometime. It's been really nice meeting you, Rebecca!" I said and handed Aden the napkin. They said goodbye as I ran out the door.



I didn't know what was wrong, but I could tell I wouldn't be receiving good news, when I got back.......
