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

25

Calum's POV:

"How did it go?" I asked as soon as Darcy walked through the door. How could i have forgotten? I feel awful. What kind of brother forgets his sisters University interview? A pretty shitty one.

"Yeah, really good actually. It was really laid back so it was alright." She replied whilst removing the shoes that have probably contorted her feet.

I immediately embraced her in a hug so show her how proud i am of her. This girl is phenomenal. I'm a bit biased because i am her brother but i think its plain to see how clever she is. She is doing a veterinary degree for goodness sake's. Mum and dad would be so proud of her if they were still around.

"Do i get a hug too Cally-poo?" Ashton asked as he came over to me with open arms.

"You know what? You can fuck right off." Even i could hear the sudden change in my voice. "Darce, do you mind leaving us alone for a minute?" I turned to my sister with a slight smile. She agreed leaving the 4 of us alone.

Darcy's POV:

Shouts. What the hell had happened whilst i had been out? I had never seen such anger on my brothers face when he had turned to Ashton. Sure Ash was bring sarcastic but there was no need for Cal to just flip out like that. I couldn't even make out what was being said. Why wasn't i allowed to hear?

My bedroom door opened and Luke came in. He closed the door fully, probably to be certain that i couldn't hear what was going on.

"Why is Calum so mad?" I asked the blonde haired boy. He shrugged his shoulders in return, clearly lying. It's obvious to see that he knows whats going on, he's been down there whilst its all been happening. You can't be in the same room as two shouting people and not not hear whats going on. "What are you hiding?" I was getting worried now.

"I can't tell you. You don't know how much i do want to tell you but i can't." He looked down at the floor. I don't doubt for a second that he would tell me if something was extremely wrong so i'm going to have to put my trust in to him.

"You can't fucking go around doing this to people!"

"Luke, is Cal in trouble? I don't care if you don't tell me fully what's going on but you have to understand that Calum is my brother and i want to know if something is up with him." I asked standing in front of him and taking one of his hands.

"Calum's fine. How was the interview?" As long as Cal is alright then it can't be too bad. I sighed, noting his change in conversation but there was nothing else i could do. The only thing i'm going to be able to do to know whats going on is to go down there myself and find out. I'm trying to trust Luke though and if Cal is okay then i don't care.

"It was fine." I was being blunt with him. I was having some internal battle with myself. 90% of me is trying to trust him but that 10% is demanding and it wants to know what's going on downstairs and it's pissed off with Luke for hiding it.

"Come on Darcy, don't be like that." He reached out for my arm but I shook it free from his grip. That 10% is extremely demanding and i am beginning to get more and more annoyed with being completely oblivious to whats going on. "I'll get in trouble if i tell you. I really really want to but i can't. Please just block it out and forget it's happening." He tried reaching for me again but i dodged him before he could even touch me.

"Block it out? Block it out? Are you having a fucking laugh, Luke? My brother is screaming at Ashton down there and i want to know whats got him so bloody worked up." Before i could even take a step closer to the door his words stopped me.

"I'll tell you!" He shouted. "Just sit down and i'll tell you." I complied with what he had told me to do and he came and sat down next to me. He rubbed his face with his hands as if this problem had really got to him.

"You tell her and you're in the shit." Michael walked in, opening the door so that i could hear more of whats going on.

I'm sorry but how the fuck do you know? Michael shut the door straight after.

"Do you want to go for some ice-cream?" He asked.

"I'm 18 not 8, Michael. And its february, do you want me to freeze?" I'm usually fine with secrecy but i really want to know whats got my brother so annoyed.

I left my room, followed immediatley by the blonde haired and blue haired boys. I could hear them telling me to go back but i just wasnt registering anything. Eveything they were saying was just going completely through me and having absolutely no effect what so ever. I passed the 4 doors and practically sprinted down the stairs, not even giving a shit about falling down that fucking step.

At the sight of me the two boys stopped. Even though i heard absolutely nothing, they looked like i had caught them red handed. Ashton was looking down at the floor but Calum's focus shifted from me to Ashton.

"Don't worry, i didn't hear any thing." I sarcastically remarked at each of the boys. It hurt that one was my brother and one supposedly had feelings for me that they were both hiding something.

"I'm sure Ash would love to tell you what's going on." My brother's face looked malicious and i could barely recognise him. "But then again he is a bit of a coward."

"Calum, stop. What's got in to you?"

"Darcy, we're going to America in two weeks and this twat wanted to keep it from you. You have Univeristy and we're not going to be back before you go," Calum continued but I couldn't process anything else that he was saying.

America. They are going thousands of miles away. The one person that I have spent my whole entire life with by my side is leaving me. My heart sank. My chest was heavy. I had never had this feeling before. When everything is going so perfect there is always a catch. I was just too naive to see that it was coming.

Maybe this was a sign that Ash and I weren't meant to make it. Only a couple of hours in to our relationship and we've already reached our first hurdle. It's not going to work out, not so soon in. Maybe if we had been together for a couple of months then we could of stood a fighting chance but not now. He even wanted to keep it from me. What would that even accomplish?

"Ash, can I have a word with you?" I looked around at all of the other boys and then finally landing my gaze on to Ashton. "Alone."
