Baby steps to recovery

Chpter5

Kats POV

I walk through the cold doors into Starbucks where I see 2/3 of the boys Ashton stops and kisses me and asks "you ok Katherine?"

"Yeah just a little tired and my wrist hurts just a bit" I reply. He tilts my chin up and kisses my lips and tells me it will be ok. We walk over to Luke and Calum as they get crowded with fans screaming and crying over them. I roll my eyes and get in line to get my passion tea lemon aid. When a boy with a fake arm walked into me . "Oh my god I'm so sorry did I hurt you?" "No no don't worry I'm fine you didn't hurt me" I said "ok good" he replayed and shoots me a breath taking smile. "Would you like to sit down with me?" He asked me "yeah sure I'd love to" I said with a smile. He pulled my chair out for me as I sat down. He walked around and sat down and started to ask me all kinds of questions. About 13 min into the conversation it's like we knew eachother for years. I started to like this boy he was tall, handsome, dashing, gorgeous whatever you wanna call it. He was perfect. Ashton started to walk over as he pulled up a chair next to me and kisses my cheek. "What's up Kat?" I just rolled my eyes and continued talking. Ash got up and left. The boy stopped me for a second to ask "who the hell was that?" I said "it's my boyfriend he was busy giving auto graphs and shit he acts like he's all that around fans he's always way to busy to even remember I exist and I end up waiting for hours on end" he gives me a smile and held my and and said "you're way to beautiful to forget". I started to blush and look away do he wouldn't notice me looking like a dork. "What's your name and can I have your number?" He asks "I'm Katherine and my number is 7787243404" he smiles and gets up to give me a hug good bye as Ashton steps in and tells him to back off. I push him back and say "ash please he's my friend" "listen Kat I don't want guys on you" he replayed "KINDA LIKE YOU HAVE OTHER GIRLS ON YOU 24/7" I run out of Starbucks and run down the street crying when I hear "Katherine wait up" I looked behind me to see the boy. I smile at him with makeup running down my face. "Hey" he said "you're way better than him. He's a waist of time" "but he's my boyfriend and.." I couldn't keep talking I kept crying. He touches my face with his cold soft hands and wipes my tears away. "Wanna hang out tomorrow at noon?" He said "well maybe I should know your name before I run off with you" I said as I gave him a wink. "My name is Braydon." "I accept your invite to hang out Braydon as long as you don't rape me" I say "no problem my lady. I shall see you tomorrow at noon" he kisses my hand and walked away as I smile and see Ashton speeding down the road. "WHAT THE FUCK KAT!" Ashton yelled "ash stop" "YOU ARE SUCH A BITCH" he yelled. "Ash stop" I say with a ferm time. He yells "FINE GET IN" I get in as he drives away to my house. I go straight up to my room as I hear my phone vibrate. I pick it up. It's a text from 7809675467, it said "hey beautiful ;)" I knew it was Braydon. We ended up texting until 3:00 am. By the time I went to bed I had some sort of feelings for Braydon. It feels like I care about him . Kinda like I love him. The next morning I woke up at 10:23 exactly I get out of bed to find a good morning text from ash and one from Braydon. I open my phone and I don't know who's to read first. I open Braydon's fist because I need to stay happy. I open it to see 3 texts 2 from last night that read

Goodnight love have a good sleep

I wuv you gorgeous

Then the good morning texts that read

Hey you good morning I missed you hope you had a good sleep text me when you can ;*

I reply straight away with.

Hey bray hope you slept well I missed you to

I went back to my messages and held my breath as I opened the text from ash. He was texting me all night

I had about 176 texts.. Here's the short summary he apologized then told me he loved me messages me to reply and then started to get worried sad and mad he it was the first time I slept alone since the accident. And yeah he tried to kill himself because he thought I did. So I quickly called him and he answered within the first ring I started flipping out as he cryed and said kitty you're here!! You're here!! I said "yeah baby I am and I'm lonely but I only have an hour until Braydon is here to take me out." I say as the doorbell rings. I run down stairs and answer. It was ash standing there with flowers in his hand. "Oh ash babe" I say he laughed and kissed my lips. He comes up to my room with me and picked out what he wanted me to ware and told me how I should do my hair. By the time we were done he told me I was the worlds best girlfriend and that he was so lucky to have me and that I'm so beautiful. I kissed him over and over until my phone went off. It was Braydon.. It was 12:39 he was yelling at me because he thinks I blew him off. I ran out the door and drove to Starbucks as Braydon walked out with his phone on in front of his fave texting me. I yell "Braydon!" He runs to me and gives me a hug. "Hey pretty lady" he says "hey handsome" I say with a flirty tone. "So how's that "bf" of yours" " well bray he's better than yesterday, he's being nice now" I say looking at the ground smiling thinking of ash. "That's great to hear beautiful" he said as he grasped my hand and walked me to his car. "So Braydon where we goin" I ask "we're going to the mall duh" he replayed with a scoff. "Oh ok what will we do" I keep asking questions until he finally says "I'll buy you something if it shuts you up" I giggle and hold his hand. My phone buzzed, as I go pick it up Braydon stops the car in the parking lot of the mall. I open my phone to see a text from ash. It read "Kat I'm going to a party with the boys tonight so I won't be home when you're back love you kitty <3." I turn it back off and get out of the car. I walk beside Braydon until we get into the mall where he sees his friend Adam. He wasn't as cute a Braydon, in fact he was quite ugly so I didn't pay attention. Braydon finishes talking with Adam and grabs my hand and takes me to the Starbucks there. "Where do you wanna go?"

He asks "I dunno I never go to the mall I'm usually home or something i don't know what's good and what's not" I say "well that's alright Kat we will find somewhere good" I smile at him as we hold hands on the table. He flips over my hand so he can see my wrist. "What's this! Kat! You didn't tell me that part" he says "well it was once and it was because of one of Ashton's friends. I don't like talking about it" I say as my phone buzzes again. I take out my phone it was calum he had sent me a picture of Ashton kissing another girl and grabbing her butt. I slam my phone down and start tearing up. "Kat what's wrong Hun" Braydon asked I show Braydon the picture of ash. "WHAT A SKEEZ Jesus I'm sorry Kat" he said as he got up to give me a hug I get up and start crying into his chest. While I was crying I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was one of Ashton's fans I saw the other day at the Starbucks. "Hey I just wanted to say I'm glad you and Ashton are together you guys are so cute!" She said "well we're no longer together he cheat on me" I say she looks at me like she feels hurt "oh my god I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make you sadder than you are now it's just I thought you guys were cute" she says "well it's ok it wasn't real love" I say she pats my back and says take care ok then leaves. "Well Braydon we should go I don't wanna be here" I say "NO I gotta buy you something remember" he says "ok bray if you wanna" I say he grabs my hand and takes me into forever 21 and I picked out a floral dress and white flats it came to 60$ but he bought it for me. He takes me out of the store then out to the car. He drove me to his place and takes me into his room. "Listen Kat I'm not going to try anything with you I'm not like that so don't worry it will be ok" he said "I know bray I trust you fully I know you wouldn't do that" I say. He gives me a big hug and says "I'm sorry Katherine. Things will get better I promise love" I smile and I hide my face in his chest "Braydon I wuv you buddy" I say "I wuv you to beautiful girl" he says. I giggle and hold his hands. As I pull away from the hug he stares at me and smirks at me.

"What?" I say "nothin beautiful Katherine" he says as he hands me the bag of things. "Fine handsome boy." I say. We spent 7 hours together at his house just talking and having a good time when he looks at the clock "10o'clock" he says. "Time to go home Kat?" "Yeah bray I'm getting tired"I say while I pull him in for a hug. "Ok Kat let's go" he says. We get into the car and he starts talking to me about Ashton and what's going to happen and all that stuff. I started to feel sad once he ran out of things to say. He stops the car and looks at me. "Goodnight pretty lady" he says before he kisses my cheek. "Night handsome" I lean into him and kiss his mouth. "I love you Braydon" I say as I hug him. He smiles and says " I love you to Kat". I get out and go into my house and up to my room where I see ash. "Kat I'm so sorry I" "NO FUCK NO GET OUT YOU NO GOOD BASTARD" I cut him off and point to the door. "Kat you don't understand" he said "NO ASHTON IRWIN I GET IT YOU CHEAT ON ME! NOW LEAVE!" He leaves an envelope on my dresser and stormed out of the house. I walked over to my dresser and I open the envelope. There was a plane ticket to NYC for in a month. He left a note on it saying "baby I know we can make it I love you this is our chance to find your brother". I rip up the note and pick up my phone and start texting Ashton that I don't wanna go and that we were no longer dating. When he read the message I got a call from him.

A: hey Kat listen I'm so sorry I'm so sorry i did this I...

K: no ash I know. Ash I'm not going to date you anymore you pushed to to far I'm sorry

A: what's the point then

He hung up and texted me bye forever. I started shutting down and freaking out and crying and hurting myself for 3 hours when I get another call from Ashton.

K: ASH BABY IM SO SORRY I

A: hello Katherine this is calum

K; oh god where's ash

C: well that's why I'm calling

K: cal tell me

C: once he hung up and texted you and he saw that you saw it he broke down and couldn't see past his tears and crashed his car.

I started crying then he started

K: is he ok cal?

C: no... He's not responding

I hang up and drive to the hospital to see ash. I get into the room and I see his blank, pale face. I come up beside him and hold his freezing hands "ash baby I'm hear wake up baby" "ASHTON PLEASE" I say. I cuddle up beside him and I start to cry. I kiss his cheek and whisper "don't you dare give up ash" I put my ear to his chest. I hear his heart beat. I listen more.. More beats.. More beats. I stare at him until "kitty Kat?" I hug him as tears stream down my cheeks. "Yes Ashton" I answer "please go with me that's the one thing I ask kitty Kat I love you ok" he says "yes ash I will I love you to" I say and kiss his lips. I stay for 2 more hours. Until I get kicked out of the room. I drive home and keep texting ash and Braydon.
