Too Close // ashton irwin 5sos

Chapter 7

The rest of the weekend was pretty boring, I did some homework and went to visit Michael once, but I couldn't be Sarah again, because the real Sarah was actually there. Mikey and I were laughing and I personally think I did a pretty good job at being her for a day.

Sunday night I stayed up late watching my favorite episodes of Friends, one of my favorite TV shows. I don't think that ended up being a really good idea because when I woke up on Monday morning, I was exhausted.

I took the bus with Dani and as soon as we got to school, the bell rang. I had to jog to my science class but I made it on time. I sat down next to Michael and he looked at me from head to toe.

"Man you look awful" he told me.

"Thanks" I answered sarcastically. I was tired, I probably had big red lumps under my eyes of tiredness and I had to run out of the door so I managed to just throw a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Also my hair probably looked like a mess, I barely had time to brush it and I was starving. Great. I probably looked so approachable right now.

"What happened to you?" he asked but I didn't bother to answer. I think he got the message.

Second period of the day, english. Yay. Our teacher is super chill thought and she allows us to change seats for every class. I look horrible today so to not get to much attention towards me, I decide to sit in the back.

I drag my feet to the corner back of the classroom sitting down letting out a big "ughhhh" noise.

"Hello Lou," a familiar voice says. I didn't notice anyone was sitting next to me, I turn to see who is talking to me, it's Ashton. He mentioned that he was in this class with me but I had never actually seen him here before.

"Oh hi sorry, I didn't see you.." I yawn.

"You look awful.. Are you okay?" he sounds worried. Great even Ashton has noticed my appearance.

"I'm just really tired, and hungry, and I need to pee" I blurt out. I had just admitted to him that I needed to use the bathroom. Wow could this get any better.

The bell rings indicating class started. My eye vision suddenly stars to become blurry and I feel my eyes close.

-

I wake up and I try to locate where I am. After a few seconds, I hear someone talking.

"Hi" Ashton says in an awkward way.

"What the hell?" I shout angrily but mainly confused.

Ashton is sitting at the end of the bed I was sleeping in and I was somewhere I had never been before.

"Hum so awkward story" he starts to talk again after a minute of silence. "You kind of fell asleep during class and you wouldn't wake up so I went to the nurse with you and she tried calling your mom to come pick you up but she wasn't answering so I offered to take you home, except I have no idea where that even is so, well so I brought you here, at my house.." he trails off.

"Oh well hum thanks I guess?" I didn't really know what to say. "Is this your room?" I ask Ashton.

"Yeahhh" he nods looking around.

His room was a pretty small, his walls were covered in a dark green color that kind of looked like s vomit green and he had a library stacked with what seemed like a million movie DVD's, he had a desk pushed in the corner and a huge rug covering the floor. His room was really cozy and it made me feel at home.

We started to stare at eachother for a while until we were interupted by the sound of my stomach growling.

"Holy shit i'm starving" I almost laugh just realizing how hungry I was.

"Ok I know just the thing to make!" he says smiling. He pulls out his hand and takes my hand into his and drags me out of bed bringing me downstairs into the kitchen.

"Grilled cheese?" I laugh once we get in the kitchen and I see Ashton starting to cook.

"Yeah haha that's the only thing I know how to cook.. I kinda suck at cooking" he chuckles.

"Well this grilled cheese better be good" I stick out my tongue.

"Aw shit we're out of bread" he starts opening almost every cabinet making sure there was no bread left.

"Okay let's go somewhere I'm starting to get hungry aswell" he says quickly.

"Mkay" I say as my stomach growls. I quickly slap my hands on my stomach hoping Ashton didn't hear that.

"Hahahah okay let's go" he grips my arm and drags me out of his house.

We start walking out, it's a chilly automn night and I'm kind of cold.

"Chilly uh?" Ashton says reading my mind.

"Yeah" I chuckle.

"Well," he pauses "I would give you my jacket, and be a gentleman, except I don't have one" he almost laughs.

I can't help myself from smiling and I hold myself from laughing. We stay silent until I see Ashton reaching into his pockets and taking out a pack of cigarettes.

"You smoke?" I ask suprised. Ashton really doesn't seem like a smoker.

"Yeah it's a bad habbit, i'm kind of trying to stop but it's not working" he says as he pulls out a cigarette, puts it in his mouth and lights it.

I watch him closely do this, it reminds me of my dad. He used to smoke all the time in and out of the house, it's one of my only memories of him. Even though he's an asshole for leaving us, I still wonder where he's at today and what the hell his life looks like right now.

"Have you never seen a cigarette before?" he catches me off guard staring.

"Hum yeah I have. My dad used to smoke. A lot" I bite inside my cheek.

"Oh" Ashton says not really knowing what else to say taking a big puff of his cigarette.

"By the way I'm sorry for falling asleep in class and putting you in this whole mess, you didn't have to bring me to my house. I mean your house" I blurt out.

"It's fine. Really, I mean I also got to miss some school" he winks at me.

This makes me think of all the school he actually misses all the time. Does he hate school so much? I'm about to ask him why he misses so many classes but I'm held back by Ashton pointing to a little corner restaurant.

"I hope you like Thai food" he tells me while he throws his cigarette on the ground.

"Never had it" I tell him honestly.

"What? Okay you have to try it's really good" Ashton tells me entering the restaurant.

-

After our food comes I start eating like I haven't eaten in days.

"The food's reallllly good" I tell him trying to slow down on the amount of food entering my mouth at the same time.

"I knew you'd like it" Ashon says shoving several pieces of meat down his throat. At least i'm not the only starving one.

Once we finish it's dark outside. I don't even know what time it is but I'm having a great time with Ashton.

"Thanks for today Ashton, and thanks for introducing me to Thai food" I laugh walking towards the bus stop.

Ashton nods while smiling and turns around once more "and one day I will make you my famous grilled cheese, i promise!" he shouts.
