Daymare (Ashton Irwin AU)

Chapter 1

Eugene, Oregon.

Ebony's POV.

Where is he?

Ashton texted me this morning telling me to meet him behind the school yard at 3:45 sharp. And now it's 4 o'clock and he still isn't here.

Just 15 more minutes, then I'm leaving.

Out of the 4 years I've known Ashton he was always late, but today something just feels off. Last night, after I told him my worst fear, he started acting weird and claimed he, "had to go."

Normally, I guess my answer would freak some people out, but Ashton knows me, I just don't understand. He knows my past and about my mind, including the demons in it, so why did he get all weird when I mentioned them.

Did I do something? I spent all last night trying to get a hold of him but never got a reply, and now I'm just waiting.

My watch says 4:14. Only one more minute I'm giving him.

And as if he heard me, there he was. Casuaully walking towards me as if he wasn't 30 minutes late.

"Hey"

Hey? All he says is hey? "You're late. Again."

"I know, I know, I'm sorry. Are you hungry? I was thinking we could get a burger over at the diner."

"What? No. I don't want a burger--"

"We could get hibachi if you prefer, there's this new place."

Is he seriously asking about food after taking off yesterday? "What the hell happened to you last night? One minute we were playing 20 questions and the next minute you started acting all weird and left. Care to explain?"

"Ebs, listen. I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me, I just had to go. I'm sorry for leaving so abruptly. But I'm okay, so stop worrying."

"You had me freaking out the entire night, jackass. You could've just shot me a text."

"Okay mom, can we get a burger now?"

"Only if we go to The Grill instead, I don't like the Diner, the waiters always give me dirty looks, I'm pretty sure they spit on my food too."

"Uh huh. Sure Ebs, sure."

---------------------------------

After The Grill I headed home. Everything was back to normal, mine and Ashton's bickering was on point, and I still managed to keep him safe from the demons. Oh yeah, I kind of forget to mention that my demons aren't just in my mind, they're real. They walk, talk, prey, plan, they seem human but they aren't. Oh and Ash has no idea.

A/N Hey! Okay I'm sorry I'm really bad at introducing the story line but I promise my writing actually doesn't suck this much. Anyways this is still kinda like an intro, but we're just gonna call it Chapter 1. Haha alright, I hope this is good & sorry it's short! xx.
