Forbidden Love (Teacher/Student) · h.s *EDITING*

Chapter 23

I had been sitting on the bathroom floor for at least twenty minuets waiting for Ashton, but I guess I had enough time to sort myself out after crying for ages. I'm such an emotional disaster all the time.

Ashton came knocking on the bathroom door a few minuets later out of breathe and panting loudly, probably from running up the flights of stairs.

"Thank you, seriously thank you!" I nearly scream of joy, I slammed the door closed again and got myself cleaned up and comfortable in some of Ashton's old sweat pants which he offered, as I didn't have any other comfy clothes to sleep in.

I came out to Ashton leaning against the wall on his phone, but instantly looking up to my presence. His hazel eyes reaching mine.

"Alright now?" He smirks, pulling himself off of the wall and making his way to his way into his room.

"Yeah, by the way, thanks again!" I feel myself blush a deep shade of red, receiving a giggle in reply.

"Don't worry, I have a sister and a mum back home? I've been through the situation before!" He tells me, I have never heard any other information apart from this before. I don't know where he comes from, birthday anything? But then again, I had only just met him.

"Oh, at home it's only me?" I groan, I had always wanted an older brother so then I could feel a little protected at school, or had my back if I had any arguments with my parents.

"I have a brother too, but I never see him any more... My dad took him and moved to Sydney..." I heard his voice crack at the end I knew I had touched a sensitive subject.

"As in Australia? You don't have to talk about it?" I suggest, as I didn't want him to be upset.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. I sometimes need someone to talk to" He force smiles, I wouldn't mind listening to him and being there for him. Maybe that's all he needs.

"Talk to me then?" I tell him, us both knowing that's what he needs.

"Well, my parents got divorced when Jack was born and left us all, leaving mum to look after myself Charlotte and Jack. But he decided to come back a couple of years later demanding that he had full responsibility of Jack? It all went to court, and he won Jack? I see him every year at Christmas but I do miss him... Mum has been in so many horrid relationships until now, now she has Jerry. Whom I hate too! And they're getting married next year? So I left home and school back in London! I ended up sleeping around, until after meeting Niall at a gig and talking for months he asked me to move in with him here?" He seemed happier in the end, bringing up his latest life ambitions and adding other things about the band, and what he wants to do next.

"How did you live off nothing?" I was shocked at what he had just told me. Maybe that's what I need to do to get away from my problems, but I'm not that stupid to give up my exams and life just yet but it does feel that way.

"I had allowances coming in from my dad still, and I did tell my mum but she just wasn't happy with my choices, that's all" Ashton smiles again, I love it when he smiles! He shows his incredibly cute dimples and his eyes light up and sparkle.

"That's good then..." I started to yawn again, I was really ready to go back to sleep, and I think he noticed that.

"Shall we go back to sleep then, as you're definitely tired, and so am I?" He then turned his back towards me and laid down. I did the same, but turned the other way and I was that tired I fell straight back to sleep, hoping that I'm up and back tomorrow morning for when my parents come back and got the energy to fight Harry.

...

I woke up to the racket of my alarm, making both Ashton and I stir. I quickly turned it off, and checked my messages.

Nothing.

I guess it is only 7:45am right so none of my friends will be awake yet. Being a teenager is tiring, especially if you have to go to school in between socialising so that;s why most of us 'youths' sleep in until noon. 

I managed to get ready just in time for when I had planned to leave, I was just going to stay in Ashton's sweat pants and wash them to give back to him and leave my make up until I had got home. It was a Sunday, and I just wanted to relax after the weekend I had just had.

"Ready then?" Ashton stood behind me, offering a hand to help me up. I took the sweet gesture and his eyes took me into heaven again, I really was weak at the knees for this guy.

"I will wash them and give them back to you, okay?" He was nodding along to my plans of what's going to happen next. "Thank you for letting me stay Ashton and Niall!" I tell them, giving them both a quick hug and peck on the cheek.

"It was a pleasure! Any time you need space, come here" Niall winked at me, and opened the flat door for Ashton and I. "See you soon!"

"Bye!" I answer waving like a mad woman. Ashton took my bag to carry down the stairs, as I was really clumsy and probably would be at the bottom in seconds with the big bag and Ashton with me.

We both had got into Ash's car now and was ready to set off for the short journey back to my house, where I was scared to what Harry would/could be doing right now, or maybe he called my parents or maybe 'Jessica' is still there?

"Are you sure you will be okay with Harry?" He quickly asks, with that the memories of last night flood into my mind. "I mean, if he isn't we could just stay here?"

"I will be fine...he can't exactly do anything, can he?" Well he could, as he had tried to do other things with me before, and the law never made him think twice about his actions.

"Well, I would just ask just in case. I know what pricks like him can do.." Anger was displayed in his voice.

"What do you mean?" I asked concerned.

"Doesn't matter" Is the response I get, all the way until we got to my house. I took a deep breathe before stepping out of the car as Ashton gathered my bag and jacket together. He suddenly brought me into a tight bear hug. "I really appreciate you listening to me last night..."

"It's okay, I'm always here remember?" I offer, which both made us smile. "Thanks again Ash!"

"Yup, any time babe!" He awkwardly waved at me, and then getting into his car again. I stood on the drive way until he had gone down the road making sure he left okay. Now it was the harder bit.

All I had to do was walk into the house, and go to my room right? Harry's car was still here and I assume so is Jessica for all I know? I finally found my keys under the pile of clothes in my bag and opened the door to complete and utter silence.

"Hi?" I quietly shout, I just needed to hear something to know I wasn't alone.

"Carly?" I hear a quick response, it wasn't the voice I was expecting...

What the hell is going on?

...

Hey guys! I'm back!

I decided I would take a small break from writing as I was becoming tired and stressed about school! But I should be updating maybe once every week again.

Also I do understand that all of the characters real lives don't sum up to the same story/background, but hey it's fan fiction! Everything's changed for a reason!?

+I also understand that Ashton's brother&sister aren't called Charlotte and Jack.

Thanks for reading!

ily all!
