My King

Chapter Nine

Ash's PoV

      I groaned. My head is fucking pounding. I look around and realize I'm on the floor next to the bed. John's passed out and slowly falling off the couch. I closed my eyes and hear the door open. They didn't knock so it was probably either Sera or Brian, and that was fine by me. I feel them gently pick me up and put me in my bed. They walked away and I can only assume that they went and put John in his bed. I feel myself falling back asleep, I curl into the blankets and let it happen. Not really caring that there is some unidentified person in John's house, probably not too smart of me but oh well. Some robber isn't going to break into a house during the morning and move me into my bed. They'd have just left me on the floor... probably... meh it'll be fine.

Arlo's PoV

      I sigh quietly and walk over to pick up John. I carried him bride style to his bed and tucked him in. I couldn't help but stop and watch him for a moment.

      'He's so fucking cute when he's sleeping'

      I smile softly and he starts waking up. I panic and little and try to leave the room as quietly as I can. I hear him groan and roll over. Taking a deep breath I walk back into the living room.

      'The're probably both really hungover from last night. I'm pretty sure Ash was binge drinking.'

      Rolling my eyes, I look around the house and see that it's a mess. I let out a huff and yawn, I hadn't slept well last night. All I could think about was John shirtless and with a six pack all fucking night. Honestly though I'm quite happy Ash decided to share that information. I'm about to leave when a strange gray dog runs up to me and starts barking. I hear Ash growl and she starts to wake up. Shit if she wakes up and sees me here I'll probably die here and now. I kneel down and try to grab the dog. 

      "Shhhh shut up!" I growl whisper to the dog. It just starts barking louder and I let out a defeated groan.

     "SHUT UP!" Ash yells and flings a pillow at us. It hits me right in the face. Even half asleep she has great aim. Or terrible aim... was she trying to hit me or the dog? She rolls over, clearly she hadn't seen me so it probably was the dog. Said dog had stopped barking and I left the house knowing they wouldn't be in school today. I hum quietly as I walk and then I see Brian, he's not really hard to miss with those bright purple eyes. I walk over to him and he looks up from his phone with a sneare, hatred written all over his face. 

      "Hey just thought I should tell you Ash and John are hungover, they won't be coming to school today." He nods briskly and goes into the school. I follow soon after. I can hear people whispering about me and what happened the day before. I surround myself in a barrier forcing  people to clear a path for me as I walk to the roof. I sit with my back against the fence on my phone. I notice I have a text from an unknown number. That's weird I haven't given my number to anyone since I first saw John.

______________________________________

???: Hey, this is Arlo's number right?

Arlo: um yes... Who the fuck are you?

???: that's not important, what is important is that John is mine

Arlo: what?!

???: you saw the text, John is mine, and if you hurt him again I'll find and kill you. Stay away from him if you know what's best for the both of you!

Arlo: tf... Who are you!?

???: again not important, bye!

Arlo: hey wait!
______________________________________

      Dammit, whoever that was just blocked me. I growl in annoyance, I'm not gonna let some unknown asshole tell me what I can and can't do! I'm the King of Wellston! Besides, John will be mine and nothing, not even Ash, will stop me from making him mine. I huff and close my eyes. There is no one and no thing that will keep me from John, hes mine!(oof yandery mode much there Arlo¿)  I start pacing across the roof, trying to figure out who this could be. Maybe it was Ash, but shes hungover as shit right now so she wouldn't be texting me. That and I have her number saved in my phone from that stupid group chat Remi made, so I'd know if it was her... Although I did learn a lot about the both of them from them. I freeze, could it be Seraphina? No, she wouldn't so that... Plus I have her number too. This is seriously annoying, what about the new guy who was hanging out with Ash? I haven't seen him with John but he wasn't at school today so...

      'That's all your fault by the way.'

      'Oh for the love of- Shut it little voice in my head!' 

      'I'm just sayin...'

      Oh great so now I'm going fucking crazy...

John's PoV

      I groan and sit up, looking around I find myself in my bed. I don't remember going to bed last night... I get up a little bit unsteady. I walk into the living room and see Ash curled up in her bed, asleep. She must have moved me and went back to sleep because I know damn well she passed out on the floor. I look over and see a light grey dog asleep near the door. It looked like some kind of german shepherd lab mix. It's fur was really soft looking and it's ears were folded over. I walk over to him and look at the collar Ash put on him, 'Slate'  Well great she named him, now we've got to keep him or she'll cry. Ash starts waking up. She opens her scarlet eyes and stares at Slate then flops over and passes right back out. I laugh and head into the kitchen to start making breakfast. I hear a thump followed by a low groan, telling me that Ash had fallen out of the bed. She trudges into the kitchen and blinks at me for a moment before realizing what she was seeing. She smiled and sat down at the table, her stomach rumbled a bit. Moments latter Brian sauntered into the kitchen with a grin on his face.

      "Hey guys! That asshole Arlo told me you guys were gonna be hungover so I decided to skip and come hang with you!" Ash flinches and growls.

      "Not so loud..." She hisses and he cringes.

      "Oh... sorry..." He said in a low voice. Ash rolls her eyes and realizes something.

      "Who's gonna take notes and get our homework?" Ash asks looking annoyed and Brian froze, realization dawning on his face.

      "Welp imma just go to class now text me later!" He yells making Ash cringe again. He dashes out the door leaving behind an annoyed and hungry Ash for me to deal with. After Brian leaves Slate pads into the room and Ash's mood changes completely. She kneels down on the floor and plays around with him for a while, smiling. I finish making waffles and we sit down to eat. Ash must have gotten, stollen, dog food at one point last night and Slate was eating near the kitchen doorway.

Ash's PoV

           I finish eating and put my plate in the sink, then I walk into the living room and look around.

      "This place is a fucking mess...." John looks over and sighs.

      "We gotta clean this place up huh..."

       "Mhmmm, might as well get started!"

     After three hours of almost nonstop cleaning we finally finish and sit down on the couch. "UUUGGGHHH! Finally done!" I sigh in relief and flop down onto the couch. John sits next to me and puts on Pirates Of The Caribbean,

      "CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow!" I say in unison with Jack Sparrow and John laughs.
