Calum's laughter is heard through the door as Michael kept teasing Luke.
"We should go save him." Shannon says, getting up from the bed.
"Or join Michael." Lyndsey mumbles, gaining the evils from Shannon.
"Oh wait guys by the way IM NOT GOING TO SCHOOL" I said just as we reached the door.
"I was wondering why you were gonna go like??" Shannon spoke a little louder, as the door opened and Michaels shouting got louder.
"Yeah mum got the times mixed up."
"LUKE CAN I BE THE BEST MAN AT YOUR WE-" "MICHAEL FRICKING SHUTUP OH MY GOD" Lyndsey interrupted him.
"THANKyou" Luke sighed, sinking into the couch.
"It wasn't for you jandal boy, my ears were about to fall off."
"I want a new nick-name" Luke pouted, but Lyndsey just smiled at him.
"I think it suits you." Michael laughed.
"Michael, mate.." Calum hid his smile, pointing at the jandals Michael was wearing.
"Fuck." He muttered, quickly slipping them off and smiling at Lyndsey.
"Two jandal boys" she smirked, looking between Luke and Michael. "Also put some socks on Michael feet are gross."
----------------------------------------------
Calum and I made cheese toasties for everyone to eat, but there was still no sign of Ashton.
"Should we make Ashton one and save it?" I ask, holding up the cheese.
"Nah he'll be fine." Calum smiled, taking the cheese out of my hands. "But I making another one for myself, you want one?"
"No I'm good thanks," I said passing over the ham as well. "I'm gonna go check on him though."
Cal gave me an uneasy smile, but nodded and went back to cutting the cheese.
I made my way past the couch which was currently full of Luke, Michael, Shannon and Lyndsey, fighting over the last cheese toastie.
I closed the door behind me, and soon after heard and scream which I knew was Michael. I guess he lost.
The hallway was quiet, and there was no sound coming from any door. I was actually kind of scared, I wasn't sure if Ashleigh was still here.
I reached the door and lifted my hand to knock. There was no answer so I knocked again. Still no answer.
I let myself in because of course, it wasn't locked.
Maybe he's not even in here?? I can't hear Ashleigh's annoying voice so I know she's not here. I knocked on the bedroom doors and the bathroom door, but still couldn't find Ashton.
I was about to give up, but just before I did, I remembered Calum mentioning that he had just bought Pringles.
I walked into the kitchen and opened the cupboard, grabbing the Pringles from the shelf.
I heard a cough from outside, and looked out the window to see Ashton sitting on the balcony.
Finally found him.
I opened the Pringles, and opened the door, taking a seat beside him.
"So this is where you are." I smiled, gaining a smile back.
"Yeah, I'm just really tired.. Are those our Pringles?" He asked, pointing at the container in my hand.
"In my defence, Michael has eaten all of my cookies and had most of my juice. I so deserve these." I took a couple out of the tin, biting into them.
"Ok but as long as you share." I held it to him and he took a few out.
"But are you sure your ok Ash? We're all always here."
"Ash?"
Shit. "Ashton. I meant Ashton." I quickly corrected myself.
"No Ash is fine. It's cute." He smiled, and I knew I was blushing like mad.
"Anyway. What do you mean 'am I ok'? Did I do something?" The look on his face was obviously confusion, but I thought he knew?
"You know? About Ashleigh? Or did you guys work it out?" They must have, he seems fine about this whole situation.
"What are you talking about? Work what out?" He placed the Pringles he was hiding in between us, adjusting his position.
"I thought Calum told you." My voice had gotten quieter. I didn't want to be the one to tell him.
"Told me what??"
I paused before answering.
"That Ashleigh cheated on you." My voice was only just over a whisper. I did not come out here for this.
"What?" Ashton's voice was now quiet too. "But she promised she wouldn't." He sounded so sad. I swear if he cries in front of me I will fling myself off this balcony.
There was a few seconds of silence and I had no idea what to do.
"I'm so sorry Ash."
"No don't call me that." He said sternly, his voice was raised again. Wait what?
"She didn't cheat on me. She promised she wouldn't. Is this some kind of joke Calum told you to play along with? It's because they all hate her. Your just as bad as them." Ashton stood up from his spot, knocking the Pringles all over the ground.
"I thought you were better than that." Were his last words before he walked back inside. How did that even happen? Why doesn't he believe me?
I started picking up the Pringles, putting them back into the tin. I few were taken by the wind, and flew off the edge of the balcony. Once I had picked most of them up, I put the lid back on and hesitantly walked back inside. Hopefully Ashton had gone to his room, I didn't really want to encounter with him right now.
He seemed so angry, so angry with me. I thought Calum had told him? Obviously he didn't, but why not? Why would he lie to me?
I walked into the hallway, but thats when I lost it. My back slid down the door of 'the 5sos room' and my knees tucked into my chest. I sat in the hallway and cried. The pringle container had fallen over once again, but hadn't spilled. I tried to stay quiet, so that Ashton, if he were in the room, wouldn't hear my sobs.
I was calming down, I knew someone would come looking for either me or Ashton soon.
The sound of a door opening and closing made me jump. Thank god it wasn't the one I was in front of.
I stood up, using the wall for balance, and looked down the hall to see Luke walking my way.
He waved, and smiled once he got closer. As he reached me, it was obvious he saw that I had been crying.
"Hey hey what's wrong?" His smile turned to a frown, and his arms wrapped around me.
I lost it again. I cried into Luke's chest, while he rubbed my back.
"Shh it's ok" he soothed. I told him everything, Luke now knew about Ashleigh; and Ashton's outburst.
I heard another sound of a door opening and closing, but neither of us moved.
Bad choice.
I heard Shannon's gasp from behind me, I quickly let go of Luke, standing by his side.
"What are you guys doing out here? Luke?" Her lips started to tremble, and I saw Luke open his mouth to explain.
"Shannon I was-" "Don't." Tears fell down her cheeks as she spoke to him.
My tears of course started again. Shannon glanced at me and rolled her eyes.
"I can't believe you." Was the last thing she said to me, before turning on her heel and running back down the hall.
A/N this is actually so shitty and rushed omg but I sWEAR there's drama soon ((obv bc look what just happened))
