Preppy Misfit (Ashton Irwin)

part 2

“Psst. Lexi. Psst” I rolled over and pulled the covers over my head. “Oh nah ah, girl it is your birthday, we have a long day ahead of us, get your but out of bed. Now” Hal said as she pulled the covers off my head, I groaned and sat up. “Happy birthday babe” she smiled as she handed me a box, I opened it and it was a small puzzle piece necklace that read ‘Besties’, I smiled as I put it round my neck. “I love it Hal, thank you” I smiled as I pulled her in for a hug. “Now get your but in the shower, we’ve got decorating to do!” I laughed as I made my way to the shower, seeing as we were just setting up I just chucked on some sweatpants, a baggy t-shirt and chucked my hair up in a bun. I ran down stairs to find Adam, Josh, Ryan, Kane, Ashley, Michael, Cal, Ash, Luke and Hal, half in the kitchen making food and the rest decorating the house. I grabbed an apple and went to sit on the couch, I got about half way when I felt someone wrap their arms around my waist. “Happy birthday misfit” Kane laughed, we were soon joined by everyone else and it became a group hug. “Okay guys, I get it. Thank you” I smiled as they let go, they all gave me presents and I got a variety of clothes, chocolates and jewellery, I loved them all. We got back to decorating and by the time we finished it was 6:00pm, an hour till the party started. The girls and I all ran upstairs to start doing out hair and makeup while the boys got ready down stairs. I decided to curl my hair and pin half of it up, I put on foundation, smoky eye and mascara. I put on my cocktail dress with black long sleeved mesh, sweetheart-neckline and cut out back and dark purple sparkly heels. I popped on some sparkly lip gloss and walked out of the bathroom and back into my room. “Damn girl, you looking fine” Halle smiled as I walked out, I struck a pose and pouted and then we all laughed. “Back at you girls, looking fine” I smiled at Ashley and Halle, we all laughed and then made our way down stairs. “Okay so we have like 20 minutes till everyone else arrives” I smiled as we walked downstairs, we had turned the music room into the ultimate party room with a stage and food tables and everything a party needs. “Wow. You girls look amazing” Michael smiled as we got downstairs. “Aw thanks boo” I smiled and squeezed his cheek, “Ditto you boys” Ashley smiled. I made my way upstairs to check on the food but was stopped half way, “Hey Alex” I turned around and saw Ashton closing the downstairs door behind him. “Hey” I smiled. “I just wanted to tell you that you look really amazing tonight, and uh here” He smiled awkwardly as he held out a velvet red box, I smiled as I took it, I opened it and inside was a bracelet. It was purple with a small gold chain wrapped around it and a gold circle that read dream dangling off it. “I love it, thank you Ashton” I smiled as I pulled him in for a hug, he helped me put on the bracelet and then helped me with the food. Everyone soon arrived and the party started. The alcohol had started to take over my body, I felt numb, but a good numb. “Duuuddeesss” I yelled across the room after the guys came off stage, I stumbled my way over. “Dudes that was awesome. Best performance ever, like seriously, the best” I mumbled, “Now, let’s get drunk” we all cheered. “Birthday Shots” Calum yelled as he dragged me upstairs, followed by the other 3. “3.2.1” we all counted and then liked the salt off my hand, downed the shot, the burning sensation of the tequila on the back of my throat, soothed by the lemon juice. “You look good tonight Alexis” a deep voice said from behind me, I spun around, the smile dropping from my face instantly. “What are you doing here?” I ask walking towards him, my vision blurry, trying to figure out if the alcohol was playing tricks on my mind. “I thought I would pay my favourite girl a visit” he smirked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. “Oh please. You disgust me” I spat at him “I don’t care about you anymore, you left me heartbroken, and now I’m over you. You need to leave”, he took a step closer, our faces only inches apart. “I know you miss me babe. You can’t deny it” He slurred, the smell of alcohol on his breath, he went to kiss me, but I turned my face, his lips landing on my cheek, I shoved him back, stumbling, he stopped himself from falling by putting his hand the bench. His eyes went dark and his face filled with anger. “Lex, who is this guy?” Ashton asked as he stepped in front of me, eyes on the hulk in front of me, an evil smirk grew on his face. “His names Austin” I spat, “Ex-boyfriend from hell”
