Jail Bait [Mashton] [Book 1]

Sweater Weather

Michael's POV

It's been about a week since I kissed Ashton, and Luke talked about me being Jail Bait. We've been back in school for the week, other then one day when me and Luke got to skip because, well, we did. It was fun, Calum skipped with us, all we did was sit around the house and play FIFA and other games, played a few songs. Calum said that I should be in the band, but I told him no. I didn't have to give a reason they both knew why. Ashton hasn't been around much, I hear the drum sometimes, but it's been every other day when normally, it's every day, even if there isn't band practice. 

I haven't really talked to anyone -I get annoyed normally when I do- Luke's tried to talk to me, saying he's sorry about ruining my happiness, but he didn't want anyone getting hurt. Well Luke, I'm fucking hurt. I'm really fucking hurt, but whatever. Calum told me the other day that Ashton hasn't been the same, he's been snapping at just about everyone, he's been staying in the bad part of town, and he's been with a few different girls every night this week.

Hearing that makes me want to break down. It makes me feel like shit. Makes me feel like shit, because it's like everything that Ashton said was a lie, and because I'm probably the reason as to why he is acting like this. I pushed him away, so now he's acting out. 

Now that I think about it, I haven't even seen Ashton at school other then the first day back. But I still only saw him at the assembly when the band played. Was Ashton ditching? Could he be doing something really bad while he ditches? God these are all stupid question's that I shouldn't be asking myself. Why shouldn't I be asking myself these questions? Because I shouldn't really give a crap now should I? 

Oh who am I kidding? I care so fucking much. I'm so worried about Ashton, I don't like how he's been acting even if I've only heard or it. It's just pure hell not knowing how he's doing. He avoids me if he's here. I just wish that he'd at least say hi, not be an asshole. He said he wouldn't hurt me, but that's all he's fucking doing.

"Michael, it's time to leave for school, love." Mom says walking into my room. I just smile and nod getting up and grabbing my bag. I look out the window quickly trying to see what it looked like outside. Gloomy, just like my mood. I sigh walking over to my closet and looking for a sweater. It was fucking Sweater Weather and I wasn't liking it. Well I mean, the song I like, just not the actual weather.

I search through my small amount of sweaters that I have, until I find one that I hadn't seen before. I pull it off the hook looking at it, I knew I had seen it before, but where... Ashton. It was Ashton's, he must have left it here at some point in time and somehow I got it. I should take it back to him. But was that a good idea? Hell if I know, but I need a reason to talk to him.

"Michael! Come on!" Luke shouts from down stairs. Was he really caring? Like really, was he caring if he got to school on time or not? Well maybe, he didn't get to see Calum all weekend -we all know he just wanted ro fuck him some more- because Calum went to see some family in England for like 4 days, because he left on Thursday or something like that. I don't remember now.

"Whatever." I grumble to myself, pulling on a different sweater and shoving Ashton's in my bag. 

"Took you long enough." Luke snapped walking out of the house. I stare at the spot he had been standing before, just for a moment, questioning his attitude. 

"What in the hell was that?" I ask him as soon as I walk out of the house.

"That was me being annoyed with the way you have been acting lately. How many times do I have to say I'm sorry about the whole Ashton thing, but I'm just looking out for the both of you! I mean it didn't seem to do much because you went close to mute on me, and Ashton has turned into a total dirt bag! I figured that you two could have still been friends, maybe talked about it, but no! You guys had to turn into whatever the hell you are now!" Luke rants slamming his car door closed that had been open.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't want any of this to happen. I just figured that staying away from Ashton would be easier then trying to be friends with him. I'm just an idiot." I walk over to Luke's passenger door and get into the seat. I close my eyes and put my headphones in not wanting to talk to him anymore now. I just feel like an asshole now. As soon as I get to school, I need to find Ashton and talk with him.

I know! I know! It's short! But I wanted it to be! The next one might be a little short too. Maybe, we will most defiantly have a lot of drama soon.

Soon goals that I'm praying for, and they are smaller then last chapters because this was short, 100 reads on the chapter, 25 votes, 10 comments, and let's get to 3,250 over all reads.

Also detecated to @5SecondsOfBromance because she got the song for the title of the last chapter. It was Mr. Brightside by the Killers
