Surprise (English) ft One Direction & 5SOS

Chapter 17

Rose:

When Ashton indeed came out the toilet a minute later he looked scared.

'Uh everything okay Ash?'.

"Yes", he answers very quickly. So, there's something wrong, but what?

'What did Niall say?', I ask.

"He..he said that..I..I shouldn't do it anymore", and as soon he said that he covers his mouth with his hand. Apparently it wasn't meant to be said.

'What shouldn't you do anymore?'.

"I..I..it's very h..hard to tell..", and he takes a deep breath.

Ashton:

"Hey, it's okay if you don't wanna tell me", and she puts her hand on my shoulder.

You could hear in her voice that she really wants to know if, but also that she's very sensitive.

Maybe a lot of people didn't want to tell their problems to her. I don't wanna hurt her and decide to tell her.

(...)

She's clearly shocked.

'Sorry...', I say and look down.

Rose:

'I..I never tought you had anorexia', I say after Ashton told me his story.

I just didn't expect it. The always laughing drummer of 5SOS, Ashton Fletcher Irwin, has anorexia. Wow...

"I know", he says out of nowhere.

'Huh. You know what?', I ask not understanding what he's talking about.

"Ohw.. I know what you think of me right now... You think I'm stupid, ugly, a bad guy and a loser. Also you didn't expect it. You never thought the always smiling and happy being Ashton would hide so much pain and fear under his smile...", he says while looking down.

Wow. Just wow. He couldn't describe it better. Except for the first part.

'First, you're not a loser you're a beautiful hot guy! And second, wow! Just wow. You described it pretty well'.

"Thank you", and he starts to blush a bit. So sweet!

'So, Niall and Louis aren't bad? They just wanted to help you?', I asked after everything falls in place.

"Yeah basically. Louis thought I would do something else, you know. He didn't know I really had to go. Niall had to go too, so Louis said to him that he had to say to me that Louis sent him and that I could talk to him too if I want. They aren't bad at all. They're lovely human beings!", Ashton tries to explain me as good as possible.

'Thank you Ashton! You can always talk to me as well, if you want. Also about other stuff. I'm here for ya'.

"Thank you Rose", and we walk back to the others.

*tring tring* My phone goes off. It's my neighbor.

'Hi'.

"Hi Rose", she says with a sorry in her voice.

"I sadly can't bring you home today... My mom is doing very bad and may die... I stay in the hospital for as long as needed. Sorry".

'Oh sorry... I hope your mom will get better".

"Thank you. You too with your family", and she hangs up.
