Lost Boy (An Ashton Irwin FanFic)

Chapter 6 - Do I or Don't I?

Brie's P.O.V

It's been a couple of days since Calum and Tayla had 'gotten together' neither me nor Micheal liked their little 'relationship'. I didn't seem to be love involved, it was just weird.

"You should talk to her about it all Brie." Michael said nudging my arm.

"I know but I can't just say 'I know Ashton cuts but date him, you and Calum's relationship stinks'" I said probably a little too loud. Michael threw his hand over my mouth.

"You are so lucky that we are the ivy ones home right now!" I giggled and licked his hand so he'd take it off my mouth.

"Sorry, I just get so frustrated." I said pulling to doona cover over my face.

"I understand but you need to say something." Michael said wiggling his way under the sheets so he could see me.

"Yeah, but how? and when?"

Tayla's P.O.V

Being home makes me overthink things more. It makes me think about all the stuff that went on the other night at Ashton's house. The boys singing a couple of songs to Brie and I, playing truth or dare, kissing Calum. Everything between Ashton and I has been weird since I kissed Calum. I wish I could take it all back and never picked dare everything would be so much easier. All I wanted to do was talk to Brie but she has been with Michael for the past 2 days.

My phone lit up with a text message. I really didn't want to check it incase it was Calum wanting to meet up or something. I really wasn't in the mood today. I just wanted to lay on my bed staring at the ceiling. My phone went off again and again. I knew then exactly who it was.

FROM BRIE: We need to talk. I'll be at yours in 10.

Tayla.

Tayla?

I don't even care I'm coming anyway.

I laughed at it a bit. She was so inpatient.

TO BRIE: Fine. I'm not changing or putting any make up on though. So Michael can't come in!

What could she possibly want to talk to me about? It's probably something to do with Michael and her or something like that.

FROM BRIE: Michael isn't coming he is just dropping me off.

Brie's P.O.V

I had no idea how this conversation was going to go an honestly I was scared. I think Michael could tell to because he moved his hand and rested it on my thigh.

"You'll be fine Brie. Just talk to her like you would any other day with any other problem."

"I know what I have to do I just don't know if I can do it. How do I explain the fact that I know Ashton self harms?" I said looking at Michael.

"Tell her I told you." He said not taking his eyes off the road.

"I don't want to get you into trouble with Ashton though." I said as we pulled up out the front of Tayla's house.

"You won't. It's better if you know and I trust you with everything." He said looking straight into my eyes making me feel vulnerable. Sensing the vulnerability he leaned in and kissed me passionately.

"Okay here goes nothing." I said once we finally pulled apart.

"You'll be fine babe."

"Thank you for everything." I smiled and gave him a light kiss.

Tayla's P.O.V

"TAYLA!" I heard Brie yell after letting herself into my house as per usual.

"I'm in my room." I yelled back. Not long after she walked in looking a little nervous.

"Hey." She said not as bubbly as she usually is.

"Hi." I said smiling. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

She went quiet which was unusual for her. It meant it was definatly something she wasn't really up to discussing.

"Brie? What is it?" I asked gettign a little concerned now.

"I don't know how to say this Tayla...." I just looked at her blank faced as she sat down on my desk chair. "I umm...."

"Come on Brie spit it out!" I was getting slightly annoyed now.

"Well, ummm.... What are you exact feelings towards Calum?" She said looking at me intently.

"Well... He is my boyfriend and he is a nice guy, we have a fun time together..."

"Okay." She said cutting me off. "So how do you feel towards Ashton?" My mind was racing, there were so many things I loved about Ashton, but one thing I couldn't understand.

"Where is this going Brie?" I asked refusing to answer the question.

"Answer the question. You'll find out where it's gong." This is the most serious I've seen Brie in a long time.

"Stuff has happened between me and Ashton and I just can't...."

"What the fact that he cuts himself?" Her words hit me hard.

"How did you know?"

"That's not important.. It didn't stop you and me from being friends so why would it stop you and him from dating."

"I didn't know you self harmed until after we became friends." Her face dropped.

Brie's P.O.V

Her words hit me like a tonne of bricks.

"If you knew would you not have become friends with me?" I said my eyes filling with tears. She didn't say a word. Nothing, not a single thing. She just looked at me.

"Okay. I see." I said a tear running down my cheek, I wiped it away.

"Brie, that's not what I meant."

"What did you mean then Tayla?" I said raising me voice a little now fully crying.

"I don't know." She said silently.

"That's what I thought." I sighed. "I know you did it too. Don't prentend. I could tell."

I walked out of her room and left, letting her think over what just happened. It was definalty not the way I wanted it to go but hopefully it will change her mind a little.
