The Only Reason (Ashton Irwin)

Chapter 5

He demanded me to stay, but he don't even tried to look or talk to me.. I don't know why I'm upset about it. AND I DON'T KNOW WHY I AGREED TO STAY HERE AT THE FIRST PLACE.. The normal me will be stubborn and won't listen to my enemy. WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO ME?

I need to leave without telling them. I'm sure that if I'll ask for their permission they won't allow me to leave, especially Ashton. I started to wonder, why did he asked me to stay?

I observed these three people who is talking, they're so busy. They will not know that I already left.

I silently walked away slowly. Once I'm far away from them, I ran. I ran until I got tired. I started to pant then I sat down near the silent and dark blue water.

The water looks so pretty and clean even though it's already night. I rested the palms of my hands on the soft and small sands and looked up to the moon. The moon shines so bright, I remember my wish when I was a child. I want to reach the moon. My mom said I can do it once I grow up, that made me wants to grow up so fast. That time, I still don't know that growing up sucks.

My hands touched my pocket and realized that I don't have my phone with me. Shit. I must have forgotten it when I angrily left the cabin. What am I gonna do? I don't know the way to our cabin.

"Looking for this?" I gasped and looked at the brown haired boy who is 3 feet away from me.

"Do you really need to scare the shit out of me?" I glared at him then he laughed. He walked towards me and sat beside me. Did I allowed him to sit beside me?

"I bet you drink coffee frequently" he chuckled then winked at me.

I looked down at my hands and played with it. "I just drink Chocolate Chip Creme. Is that a coffee?"

Why do we talk normally? He is my enemy.

"Starbucks? Erm.. kinda?" he shrugged.

I looked at the waving water again, he copied my actions. We just silently sat there. Seconds later, he poked me. I looked at him confusedly then he raised his left hand where my phone is resting. "You forgot your phone when you left."

I hesitantly grabbed it from him and furrowed my eyebrows. "Why do you have it?"

He ruffled his hair then avoided having an eye contact with me. "I-I thought you might need it."

I bury my nails on the palm of my hands. Trying to wake myself up. No this is not a dream.

"Oh" I spoke quietly.

"Marie--" the phone suddenly rang.

I looked at my phone and saw that Alyssa is calling me. I slide the answer and I brought the IPhone near to my ears.

I spoke, "Alyssa?"

"Where. Are. You" she heavily gasped for some air.

I furrowed my eyebrows even though she can't see me. "I'm here.."

I looked at Ashton, not knowing what to say. Should I tell her that I'm with Ashton? Yeah maybe I should tell her.. but it will make her confused. Nah I'll just explain later.

"I'm here with Ashton.." I continued talking.

"Are you okay?"

"I hate you! You made me search the whole beach!" I can imagine her stomping her feet.

"Actually half of the beach!" I heared Calum corrected her.

"Shut up!"

I laughed.

"Alyssa is such an idiot, she forgot to call you earlier" Andrea spoke.

"I'm sorry!" I can feel that Alyssa is glaring at the two of them.

"No, it's the right timing guys. I don't have my phone a while ago."

"Then--" Ashton snatched my phone then without a doubt, he disconnected it.

"Ashton!" my eyes widen then I snatched my phone from him. "Why did you do it?!"

He shrugged like he did nothing. "They're just ruining our moment."

I just stared at him, dumbfounded. Did I heard him correctly? Our moment?

"What?" He raised his eyebrow.

"I-I.. nothing" I shook my head repeatedly.

He looked up again to the moon. Me? I just keep staring at him and examining his features. I did not noticed that his eyes is amazing, the color changes. Hazel brown to green. His pointed nose, dimples and.. cute smile? I shake my head. Why did I said that?

"You know.. I hate Alyssa" he spoke out of the blue.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Actually, I hate everyone" he admitted.

I looked down at my feet and played with my toes.

"Me too" I muttered.

"What?" I looked back at him.

I shook my head. "Nothing. Um.. why do you hate people?"

"They always judge."

I nodded. He's right.

I belong to those people.

"Your friends too? They judge you?"

He chuckled. "No. But I think they do."

I bit my lip. I want to change the topic.

"Can you tell me something about your friends?" I spoke before I can stop myself.

He slightly smile then glance at me. "Curious huh? Well.. Luke? Calum? Michael?"

"Everyone.. if it's okay."

"Luke.. he's in relationship with Andrea. Andrea is lucky. Luke is so caring and loving especially to his girl" he bit his lip. "Calum, fun and carefree always. Doesn't want to be called as Asian. Actually, he is scottish and Kiwi."

"Michael, he loves to dye his hair. That's all I can say? I feel so gay for telling you this."

"Is Michael single?" I curiously asked. I want to know if he's single, so I can warn Alyssa. And I want to make sure if he's really hooking up with someone.

"Yeah. Just hooking up with some girls."

My eyes widen. "Then why is he flirting with Alyssa? Why is he making her to fall in love with him?!"

He laughed like I said something stupid. "They're just like that. And what, he's making her to fall in love with him? Do you mean that Alyssa likes him?!"

"No but--"

"Shut up, they're just friends."

That made me silent. But I'm not yet fully convinced that they're just friends. He interrupted my thoughts when he stood up and grabbed my arms and pulled me up.

"We're going to somewhere" he smirked.

I don't think this is a good idea.
