My bully , Ashton Irwin

chapter 25

Ashton's P.O.V.

''Yeah , ice skating is not my thing .'' she said holding from the supportive bar . Her feet were trembling like jello . I just chuckled as I slided easily towards her . 

'' It is not hard.'' I shrugged .'' Let me show you .'' I said taking her hands in mine , slowly guiding her to the center of the icy floor . '' Just make small steady steps .'' I instructed and I could tell that she was trying really hard .

'' I cant do it .'' she said .

'' I am holding you . You are not going to fall .'' I said softly and her tensed body seemed to relax .'' Now , just follow my steps .'' I said skating backwards , her hands still connected with mine . I dont know why , but her hand in mine felt so right . It felt so warm , even though none of us had gloves on . The weird freeling on my stomach made its apearance again . 

'' Ashton I am ice skating .'' she said while leaning back  and I couldnt help but smile at her . Her clumsiness is cute . Cute ? Where did this come from ?  I cant think she is  cute . It's just not something that I would say to a girl . I dont know why I am thinking like this about her . '' Ashton , what are you thinking about ?'' her sweet voice snapped me out of my thoughts .

'' Nothing .'' I simply said .'' So  are you ready to skate on your own now ?'' I asked and she shook her head .

'' Nah , I like it more this way .'' she said looking at the ground . What does she mean ? Does she like it because we are holding hands ? Or is it because like this is not that likely to fall ? Why am I thinking like a school girl now ?I felt a weight dragging me down and before I knew it I fell on the cold icy floor .I looked beside me and I saw her . Her face red from trying to contain her laughter . I started laughing and she joined me shortly after .

Her laugh was not fake . It was pure . Yeah , I know that it sounds kinda weird . But I hate it when girls laugh in a fake way . Ashley does that and pretty much every girl in the school . But she , she is different . She is not like the other girls . I have fun with her . I have never laughed like this before . '' Sorry .'' she said trying to stand up but falling miserably . I stood up and extended my hand for her . She gladly received my help . '' I am having a lot of fun , you know .'' she said reaching for the supportive bar . 

'' I am having fun too .'' I said smiling . The next hour was spent trying to teach her to ice skate . '' Okay , so I will go on the other side . And you are going to ice skate to me .'' I said and went on the other side of the floor . With baby steps she managed to get to the middle of the floor . I am a bit concerned now . The floor is more crowded than it was when we came .  Just about she was to make the next step . A guy pushed her and she fell . He continued his way , like an asshole he is .I quickly rushed to her side . '' Are you okay ?'' I asked while helping her stand up .

Chris's P.O.V.

 ''Yeah , I am fine .'' I said standing up . Ashton though seemed mad . He grabbed my hand and searched the floor , probably to find the guy that pushed me .

'' You .'' he said skating closer to him , after spotting him with some girls . Ashton was still holding my hand , something that gave goosebumbs al over my body . I dont know why . The guy turned his attention to us .

'' What ?'' he asked in a cocky tone .

'' You owe her an apology .'' Ashton said pointing at me . Is he defending me ? '' Ashton , you dont need to do this . Let's go .'' I said , but he ignored me .

'' For what ?'' the cocky teen asked again .

'' For being a dick .'' Ashton said in a pissed tone .
