As An Irwin

Sammi

Once we had ate dinner I went into the living room and sprawled myself out on the sofa. Some Australian show was playing and currently someone called Jenifer was shouting at her boyfriend because he slept with another woman. Ashton was in the kitchen cleaning up our dishes.

Dinner was pretty awkward, neither of us really had anything to say, And I wasn't for talking to him much. I've been too nice to him so far, I want to make his life hell for abandoning me. Right as Jenifer slaped her now ex boyfriend I heard the front door open and what sounded like high heels clicking against the tile floor.

A tall blonde woman dressed in a pair of black jean shorts and a tank top saying "summer time" on it walked in through the door. She looked just as confused as I do.

"Eehh who are you?" She asks in a bitchy tone of voice which immediately annoyed me.

"Uhh, mm I'm.... Uh I'm Chris...eh I um.." fuck I hate talking to people. Why is it so hard to talk? I hate me.

"okay 'Uh um eh Chris' who are you and why are you in Ashtons house?" She sounded less bitchy now but I was still pissed at her for making fun of me. Ashton walks in looking pretty pissed, he sends a glare to the blonde then grabs her arm and pulls out of the room. I can't make out what their saying but I'm pretty sure it's about me.

Soon after that their voices raise and their both shouting about how their relationship is over. This is pretty awkward, you know when your at your friends house and they start arguing with their parents? Yeah that's how this feels.

"YOU HAVE A KID AND YOU NEVER EVEN TOLD ME? THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I BROKE UP WITH YOU ASHTON YOU NEVER TELL ME FUCKING ANYTHING! WE WERE TOGETHER 6 YEARS AND YOU NEVER EVEN TOLD ME YOU HAD A DAUGHTER!" I heard the woman shout, I found out her name was Sammi.

"SAMMI I ONLY FOUND OUT I HAD A KID A WEEK AGO HOW THE FUCK WAS I SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW" Ashton shouted back, it feels weird hearing them talk about me like that. Ashton is obviously lying since he did know my mother was pregnant so he was bound to know I existed.

"WELL YOU COULD OF TOLD ME SHE WAS GOING TO BE LIVING WITH YOU SOONER. AND HOW THE FUCK DID YOU NOT KNOW YOU HAD A DAUGHTER"

"SAMMI YOU TOLD ME YOU WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH ME WHY WOULD I TELL YOU ANYTHING? AND ANYWAY I WAS YOUNG AND FUCKED ANYTHING WITH TITS SAMMI YOU REALLY THINK CONDOMS WERE ON MY MIND WHEN I WAS LIKE 19?"

Ew, not something you want to hear your dad say.

This went on for another few minutes then abruptly ended when Sammi walked out slamming the door behind her. All the shouting kind of scared me, it sounds stupid I know but hearing people shout like that reminds me of my mother.

I didn't know what to do now, I just decide to sit awkwardly watching some shitty TV while Ashton cleans something in the kitchen. I have never felt more awkward in my life. I just want to shrink into a corner and stay there forever.

Soon Ashton came into the living room and sat himself down a few seats away from me. " I'm sorry for all that you probably didn't want to hear it, that was Sammi, My ex fiance."

I was wondering were his fiance was, I remember reading he was engaged somewhere. "Why'd ya break up?" I shouldn't have asked that he won't want to tell me oh my god kill me please.

"I'm not quite sure actually, but I'm sure you heard we don't get along to well anymore" I nodded my head a little then went back to trying to focus on whatever show was playing on the TV. The room fell into awkward silence and Ashton grabbed the TV remote and changed the channel.

I've been far too nice to Ashton, I mean I totally failed at being a rude as possible to him like I had planned. I just don't want to be mean because then there's arguments and shouting and talking and shit. And I'm not that good at talking. I want to hate him for leaving me and forgetting about me, and I do hate him. I just find it hard letting him know I hate him.

Is was getting pretty late and I was still pretty fucked because of jet lag so I decided to go to bed, but I didn't just want to get up and walk out, should I say something? What should I say? What if I sound weird? This is so much fucking stress.

"You okay darling?"

Darling. He better stop calling me that.

"Uhh yeah- I'm-I'm o-okay. Just a lit- a little tired that's all"

"Probably just the jetlag babe, maybe get some sleep." Babe. I hate these fucking nicknames.

"Yeah okay, mm g-goodnight" he smiles back at me then turns back to the Television and I turn a walk up the stairs. I quickly change into some pyjamas shorts and a tank top then lie down on top of the covers because of the immense heat.

I struggle to get to sleep mostly just from fear that I'll have a nightmare and make an ass of myself or annoy Ashton. Eventually I drift of to sleep sweat dripping of me as nightmares creep into my mind once again.

Ashton's POV

Before I get into bed for the night I quietly walk over to Chris's bedroom and look in to see her lying on top of the sheets fast a sleep. Her hair seemed to be sticking to her forehead and neck probably from sweat. She looked cute anyway. I can't believe I missed her entire childhood, I missed her first steps and her first words. I missed everything. The one thing I always told myself was that I would never allow my child to grow up without me. And now my daughter has went 13 fucking years.

She stirred in her sleep, letting out a quiet little cry before curling up into a ball. I don't think it was anything to be worried about so I walked back to my room across the hall. As I slipped my wallet and phone onto my bedside table I continued thinking about Charlotte and what my life would be like if she hasn't left. These thoughts stayed with me until I finally fell asleep.

Please vote or some shit.
