Rich Girl | Ashton Irwin

friends?

a/n
clearing something up rq. basically in the last chapter (fight!) luke kind of appeared out of nowhere. so i am going to clear that up. so Luke lives locally like 10 minutes away from Mercury this wasn't really like said so I'm going to say it now. he had access into the school as the school that they go to isn't the greatest and they kinda just let anyone in. soooo that's how Luke got to the school to help Mercury.

-
"Let me go!"
"No Mercury your not allowed!" Luke said picking me up.
"Luke please, I need to go find Ash."
"He's no good."
"You say that with all my boyfriends, now put me down."  He sets me down. He opens the classroom door.
"In." He points
"No."
"Mercury." He warns. I cave in and enter the classroom.  Five minutes later after Luke left, the rest of my chemistry class, including Melody, piled in. I grab my bag and pull out my chemistry book. Let's see how this goes down.
-
"Will Mercury Walters and Melody Carter please make their way to the principles office." The speaker announced. The class room filled with 'ooo's and whispers 'what did they do' 'oh my god, not again'  both me and Melody look at each other and I smirk. She smirks back.
We leave the classroom with a slam and walk together.
"Well, shall we get over this?" She asks.
"Yeah... I guess, you did say sorry I was just being a bitch as always."
"As always." We laugh together.
"Why are you being nice to me though?" She asks again.
"Nothings perfect you know?" I look at her and smile weakly. We carried on walking.
"I don't actually like Ben."
"Do you not? Why did you do it then?"
"Out of spite."
"Well it's over now eh?"
"Yeah, glad to have my bestie back."
"Me too." I smile, we hold hands to the office.

I push open the door.
"Hello girlies what can we do for you two today?" Jane asks
"We've got to see principle Miller." Melody says.
"Oh girls." She scolds "sit down I'll get him now." We both sit on the red office chairs and wait patiently.
"Well." Melody says
"Well." I say .
"Melody, Mercury, he'll see you now."

We enter the room and sit on the chairs across from the principle.
"Now girls, this is the second fight you've had during your time at this school, now you're both lovely girls so for you to be getting into fights, doesn't make you look very lady like now. Mercury you will be excluded for two week ands Melody a week. Now girls diminish the feud."
"We have sir." I say
"Yeah we have." Melody says nodding her head.
"Alright I trust you girls, now behave. Mercury your brother, Luke is it, has been called and he's coming to pick you up now." I smile, bloody hell Luke. Even Melody laughs a little.
"Alright thank you sir."
"Oh and Melody, your brother's here to pick you up."
"Thank you again sir." Melody says and we both leave the offices and then the gates. Melody and I part ways to my 'brother' and to hers.

"Hey, bro." I say to Luke. He smirks.
"Alright little sis, get in." He laughs
I get in his car, silver BMW.
"You're going to get me expelled." I dismiss his comment and tell him where I want to go.

I walked into the grave yard, it was around four pm and things started to get creepy. There was an aura that something would go wrong, like in a horror movie. My phone rang. My heart dropped out my arse. I pulled the phone out of my pocket. An unknown number. Ugh. I answer.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's me." My heart stops beating.
"Dad?"
"No, Jase." I shut my eyes. They start to tear up. "Your phones on no caller ID." I choke out.
"Oh, are you alright?"
"I'm fine Jase."
"Luke said he dropped you at a graveyard." Oh damn. "Yeah, He did."
"Oh well, Mum wants you home soon, we're having a family dinner out, no guests allowed just Mum and her children."
"Oh, I'll be home soon Jase." I look over in the distance and see a figure. Ashton.
"Well Jase I need to go, I'll see you at home." I don't even say goodbye I just end the phone call. I run over to him with tears streaming down my face.
"Ash!" I shout. He whips his head round to look at me. "Mercury?" He says in disbelief. We hug each other roughly. We cry into the shoulder of one another.
"She didn't tell me." He says, pulling away.
"What? Who?"
"My mum, she didn't tell me he died, he died about a month ago."
"Oh Ash I'm so sorry." I say pitifully.
"It's not your fault." He kneels down on the grave, I kneel next to him "I'm excluded from school." I state.

"How long?"

"Two weeks." I say shrugging my shoulders, not even looking at him. "Well my mum said I can take some time off school." I shut my eyes and think about earlier, when I was on the phone to Jase. My eyes well up once again.
"Oh Mercury, what's wrong, what did I say." He rushes.
"Nothing, I was on the phone to Jase and I thought it was my dad." He didn't reply, he just engulfed me into a hug.

This was going to be a long two weeks.
