Let Love Bleed Red

Chapter 18

*Ashs’ P.O.V.*

He loved me. Eoghan loved me. I was finding it hard to believe. Why me like? No one even liked me, let alone loved. And he looked so happy when I told him I loved him back... it was the whole truth too. The way he looked at me made my heart do a backflip in my chest. And when he held me I felt so safe..

We walked back to Eoghans’ in silence, enjoying just being with each other. We were going inside, Eoghan in front of me, when something or someone grabbed my hair and pulled me backwards. I let out a cry of shock and surprise.

“So you’re the bitch that took Eoghan from me!” What the fuck? I didn’t take Eoghan from anyone! A girl with bright red hair and a face of freckles appeared in front of me, a strong grasp on my hair. “You fucking whore, he was mine!”

“I didn’t do anything! I didn’t take Eoghan from you! He wasn’t going out with anyone! What the fuck are you on about, you crazy psycho?!” I kicked out at her, trying to break free of her grip.

“Crazy psyco?! Me?!” Ohmygod yes. You could see it in her eyes. “At least I don’t go around stealing peoples boyfriend, you slut!” I’d had enough.

“For the last time. I didn’t steal Eoghan from you!!” I kicked the girl in the shit, hard. She bent down and I pulled her hair as hard as I could. “You want to fight dirty, I’ll fight dirty.” The crazy girl started kicking at me, calling me names, pulling me hair, so I did the same back to her.

I felt an arm snake itself around my waist and pull me back.

“Would you two stop it already?” The adrenaline was wearing off and I felt drained, so I slumped against Eoghans’ chest. “I mean seriously? You’re fighting over me? What’s the point in that?!” I felt my cheeks warm up. It did seem a bit stupid but I wasn’t going to put up with that bitch!

“Ailish.” That must be the ginger girls’ name. “I know we dated for a while, but that was six months ago. You moved away and we broke up.” He emphasised those two words. “I’m with Ash now so you’re just going to have to back off. Ok?” The Ailish girl looked defeated and stormed off without saying a word.

“Sorry about that..” Eoghan looked embarrassed. Awww.. He was adorable! I kissed him and took his hand.

“It doesn’t matter. Come on, I want you to play something for me on your guitar..” I wanted to hear him play, see how good he was. “I saw that you brought mine along. Stopped at my house you before you went to the beach, hm? Hope you didn’t go through my stuff..” I was teasing but Eoghan flushed. He hadn’t, had he..? I didn’t have much to hide but still.

“No.. I went in to see if you were there, saw your guitar and took it. That’s all..” hmmm… He seemed to be avoiding my eyes. But then he looked at me and smiled, and my heart just melted.. I couldn’t possibly be mad at this boy. He leaned down and kissed me.

I smiled at him then went inside to get the guitars.
