Their Secret

Secrets

Alex's POV

I wake up and run to the bathroom and throw up the alcohol I drank yesterday. I spend almost ten minutes throwing up. When I feel like the nausea is gone I hop into the shower and feel the cold droplets of water hitting my skin and it helps reduce my headache. After that I get dressed and go downstairs.

"Sleeping beauty is finally awake!" Greyson says as I descend the stairs.

"Could you not make so much noise Greyson" I say irritated.

"Seems like someone is grumpy today" Rita says scornfully and starts tickling Daniel who releases bouts of laughter instantly adding to my headache.

"Where is Ashton?" I ask looking around.

"I don't know" Greyson says indifferently.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask sitting next to Greyson.

"Nothing" he snaps.

"You know it's the first time I've actually seen you angry. So are you going to tell me what is eating you" I ask laying on his lap.

"Don't do that" he says removing my head from his lap.

"OK, so now you are angry at me? Did I do something inappropriate when I was drunk?" I ask hurt. For some reason this seems to soften him up.

"No, I guess I need some air" he says standing up. He soon leaves and I am left with Rita.

"Is it me or is there some tension here?" I ask Rita. I mean if I am going to be left here with her I might as well just talk to the woman.

"Uh well Ashton and Greyson are fighting" she says. Surprising me with her answer.

"Why?" I ask curiously.

"That's not for me to share" she says shortly. I feel betrayed really I thought I was the girlfriend here. My phone starts ringing I look at the caller ID and realise that the person calling me is Ashton.

"Hey" I say shortly.

"Babe, are you OK?" He asks with an unreadable voice.

"I am fine,I just have this splitting headache. What's going on between you and Greyson?" I ask curiously.

"Nothing" he says shortly.

"Really?" I press.

"Yes, I have to go" he says coldly.

"Bye" I say shortly.

I take an advil and go back to my bedroom to sleep. I wake up at twilight and find Ashton on his macbook beside me.

"Where were you during the day?" I ask sitting up.

"I was doing some stuff" he says vaguely.

"Ok, since you don't want to tell me what you were doing today are you at least going to tell me what is wrong with you and Greyson?"I ask looking at him intently.

"Is it natural to wake up and ask so many questions?" Ashton asks irritated.

"Yes, more especially when you slept with unanswered questions" I say defensively.

"Well then, can your questions wait until I am done with my work?" He asks rudely.

"Why do you have to be so rude?" I ask offended.

"How can I not be when you are interrogating me like some type of criminal?"

"Well aren't you one?" I ask angrily.

"I am going out for some air" he says getting off the bed and going out of the room. What the hell is going on with these two people? I get out of the bed and go downstairs to find Rita, Daniel and Greyson eating dinner. My stomach grumbles demanding food. I go towards the table and take a seat and start dishing up.

"What is going on with you and Ashton?" Rita asks with amusement behind her voice. I give her a deadly stare and she starts smiling. If looks could kill I swear all that would be left of her is her guts and they would be spraw-

"Alex..." Greyson says taking me out of my thoughts.

"What?" I ask irritated. He points at my glass and I realise that it is overflowing with apple juice.

"I'll get Claire to clean that up" Greyson says standing up.

"Thanks" I say giving him a smile.

"You know things are only going to get worse right" Rita says once Greyson gets out of view.

"What are you talking about" I ask nonchalantly.

"I'm talking about you and Ashton" she says smiling.

"You don't know anything about me and Ashton" I say angrily.

"Well I know that he won't be with you for long. I mean he has a child with me. Something you can't be bothered to give him" She says scornfully.

"I want you to get out of my house!" I say angrily.

"This is no-"

"This not what my house? Get your facts straight. It is my house so I want you to pack your pathetic bags and get out of my house!" I say angrily.

"I am not going anywhere" she says defiantly.

"I said take your things and leave!" I say seething.

"She is not going anywhere" Ashton says standing next to her. When did he come in and why is he siding with Rita?

"What? Ashton she has to go. I don't care what you do but I want her out of here!" I say frustrated. Ashton moves from Rita's side and holds my arm tightly to the point where it starts to hurt.

"Ashton you are hurting me" I say try to get his hand off my arm. He ignores me and basically starts dragging me upstairs. We finally get to the bedroom and he violently throws me onto the bed.

"What do you think you are doing?" He asks angrily.

"I am getting Rita out of here" I say rubbing my painful arm.

"Rita is not going anywhere" he says seriously.

"Ashton please do this for me. Please get her out of here. You can get her into your old house or into a hotel or something" I beg.

"I said Rita is not going anywhere" he says coldly.

"So you are choosing her over me?" I ask hurt.

"I guess I am" he says with an unreadable voice. With that he turns around and leaves the room.
