Unexpected ~ An Ashton Irwin Fan Fic (COMPLETED)

Chapter 22

*Ashton's POV*

The North American tour was such a rush, and now we have finally joined One Direction on another one of their tours. It seems like all we've done is tour lately, and our exhaustion is starting to show. Especially Claudia's. She gets a little cranky when she's tired, and always finds something to complain about on the tour bus.

The boys have gotten used to her, they know its not her fault; she just needs a break, like the rest of us. She's also been sick lately; she runs out if bed every morning to throw up. We aren't sure why, but she figures she's just home sick.

Tonight we don't have a show, so my band members and I are going out to a fancy bar. Claudia opted to stay on the bus with Rachel and Sarah, while they take care of her sickness. I offered multiple times to stay with her and take care of her instead, but she insisted I take a night off and have fun. I hate to leave her like this.

*Claudia's POV*

Damn.

I ran through my fingers through my hair and gripped the sink. I took a deep breath and the one I released was shaky. I tried to hold in my tears but a couple escaped.

I sat down on the toilet and put my face in my hands, letting my hair fall out of place. I can't believe this is happening.

Knock, knock!

"Claudia? Are you alright in there?" Sarah asked in a worried tone.

I collected myself, "what? Oh, yes! I'm good!" I answered and quickly hid the box where no one would find it.

I quickly washed my face so it wouldn't look like I had cried. I opened the door and she was standing outside.

"Sorry, I had cramps," I lied.

"Period cramps?" She asked.

I hesitated, "something like that," I answered and didn't make eye contact.

Rachel was sitting on the couch in the tour bus, bundled up in a blanket. Ashton and the boys left to go out about an hour ago and we were watching movie. I have been sick lately, and Ashton was worried about me, but I just shrugged it off as a cold.

But I know now that it's not a cold.

After another movie had started, I felt Rachel staring at me. "Claudia, are you okay?"

"What? What do you mean? I'm fine, I'm fine..." I panicked.

"Are you sure? You got sick all of a sudden and we're worried about you..."

"I'm fine, okay? Can you please just drop it?" I snapped.

Her eyes widened and I instantly felt bad, "I-I need some air," I said.

I wrapped myself in a blanket and went outside the tour bus, and sat on the pavement. I took a deep breath and cried. I checked my phone; it's 10:37. My notifications were blowing up.

I opened Twitter, and saw the pictures everywhere. Pictures of Ashton at the club. Ashton...with another girl.

Tears fell from my eyes onto the bright screen of my phone as I shoved it back into my pocket. I dropped my blanket to the ground and began walking towards the club where Calum told me they'd be at. It was only a block or two away from where we were, so they all walked.

When I got inside, I saw Luke sitting by himself on a couch. I walked up to him, "where is he?" I asked him hurriedly.

His jaw dropped when he saw me and he stood up immediately, "Claudia! What happened?"

"Oh, don't act like you don't know!" I said to him.

He looked confused, "I don't! Is it Ashton? What's wrong?"
