Nashton/Lashton -- His Mistake

I KNOW I SAID THIS ONE WAS GOING TO BE HAPPY BUT I WAS WRITING IT AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT I MADE IT REALLY REALLY SAD AND I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE IT

WARNING: Mentions of suicide and guns.

Ashton's POV

BEEP! BEEP! I woke up suddenly, the alarm on my phone ringing. I quickly shut off the obnoxious noise, sighing.

As I pulled the duvet of my bed to the opposite side of my body, I sat upwards and suddenly remembered that I have a date with Niall today.

I climbed out of bed, grabbing a set of clothes, while heading towards the bathroom.

Once inside, I shut the door and stripped my shirt and boxers off, turning on the shower after.

Stepping inside the shower, I did what I always did; Washed myself while singing.

"You look so perfect standing there, in my American Apparel underwear," I sang, feeling the nice, hot water on my body.

"And I know now, that I'm so down," I continued, rubbing my shampoo into my long, curly hair.

"Your lipstick stain is a work of art, I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart,"

~Timeskip~

As I finished singing, I stepped out of the shower after turning it off, and snatched a towel from the counter to dry myself with.

After slightly drying myself, I wrapped the towel around my waist, and grabbed my blow-dryer to dry my hair.

As I was blow-drying my hair, I felt my phone ringing, so I quickly shut off the blow-dryer, and looked at the Caller ID.

"Niall~" the screen read, so I swiped and put it up to my ear.

"Hello?" Niall's thick Irish accent spoke from the other side of the phone call.

"U-Um, hi," I stuttered, suddenly becoming nervous, "What's up?"

"Just wanted to make sure you didn't forget about our date, babe." He spoke.

I blushed out of habit, glad that Niall couldn't see me through the phone.
"O-Of course not, Niall! I actually just got out of the shower..."

"Ah, have you now?" He answered, and I pictured his smirk.

"Y-yea. So, I guess I'll see you at the park in a couple of hours?" I questioned, double checking to make sure that was where I was supposed to go.

"Yup! Crystal Lake Park!" He answered in a joyful tone.

"Okay! See you there, love ya!" I answered back, still slightly nervous.

"Love ya too!" He practically shouted into the phone, making me cringe at how loud he was.

I ended the call, slipping my clothes on and anxiously waiting for the date to come.

I eventually decided that I felt like making breakfast, so I headed out to the kitchen to cook a classic meal; Eggs and bacon.

~Timeskip to the Date~

I'd just arrived at the park, quickly checking myself using the camera on my phone, and got out of my car, locking it.

Niall had told me earlier to meet him near the lake, so that's where I was headed.

Surprisingly, the park was very populated. There were many children running around playing games, while their parents conversed about different topics.

Looking for Niall, my eyes laid on a man who looked about my age, with blue eyes and blonde hair. I noticed he had a lip ring, too, but he looked sad, so I sat next to him.

"I know I don't know you, but..are you okay?" I asked, actually worried about this stranger.

"Ah, not really. My-uh, my boyfriend left me." He answered, his voice cracking.

"Oh, I'm sorry," I sat there awkwardly, not sure how to comfort him. "I'm Ashton, by the way."

"Luke's the name. Don't worry, I'll get over it eventually, right?" Luke avoided eye contact with me, but I could still see his eyes watering.
I decided to try to stop being so awkward, so I attempted to make him feel better by hugging him. Wrapping my arms around him, he grasped onto me, letting out loud sobs uncontrollably.

"Shh..it'll be okay, Luke." I spoke, rubbing my hand in a soothing motion on his back.

Eventually, I remembered the reason why I was here at the park, which resulted in Luke starting to cry again.
"Please don't leave..I don't have anywhere to go," He spoke in between sobs.

I used my hand to lift his chin up so he could see my face. "Luke, I'm sorry. I have to go,"

As I was getting up, he pulled me back down, and smashed his lips onto mine. My lips melted into his, my hands instinctively snaking their way up to his hair.

I realized what I was doing and pulled away from the kiss, staring at Luke.

"I-I'm so sor-"

"Ashton?"

My heart stopped, recognizing that thick Irish accent. I reluctantly turned around to face the reason I was here.

"N-Niall, it's not what-"

"Ashton, how could you do this?! I was waiting for you, waiting for this date, only to find you making out with some random guy! Why would you ruin this?!" Niall's voice cracked, tears already flowing down his clean-shaven face. His blue eyes showed heartbreak caused by me.

"N-Niall, I-I'm sorry," I whispered, looking down at the short, green grass.

What have I done? I asked myself.

I looked back up, realizing that Niall left.

He left me...I thought.

Niall's POV(The Day After)

After a sleepless night of crying over Ashton, I decided that I needed to watch some TV, so I flopped down onto my couch, and hit the power button on the TV's remote.

Surfing through the channels, I stopped at the news channel.

"Might aswell see what's going on around here." I spoke to myself, gluing my eyes to the screen.

"Breaking News! A man was found dead, last night in his house. His name is Ashton Fletcher Irwin, and he was about 21 years old. The cause of death is suicide, he shot himself, and the gunshot alerted neighbors, causing them to call the police."

I couldn't watch any more of it, so I turned it off.

I didn't realize that I was crying until I felt the tears rushing down my face.

"Ashton..what did I-I d-do?" I cried, feeling the guilt of my mistake.
