Fix You (A.I)

Chapter 7

Effy's POV

Ashton said that I should sleep over since it was so late, but I really didn't want to. I knew what was going to happen, he was OBVIOUSLY trying to hook up, well, I think he was. To be honest he had been really nice and didn't try to do anything which was good, but what if he did now? I mean he was very good looking, nice, and what not. But if he tried to make a move or something I wouldn't know what to do mainly because I couldn't be more unexperienced. I told him that my mom could pick me up and not to worry about me, but he said that it was way too late to wake her up. I  said that I didnt want to bother him  but he kept insisting until I finally gave up.

"No Ashton, i really don't want to- fine." I said with a sigh, he smiled and showed me the way to his room as he looked for something. I walked inside his room and headed directly to the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked like a complete mess with my eye makeup al smeared up and my foundation almost gone. I quickly washed my face and removed all the smeared makeup, I then  realized that I didn't have any clothes to sleep in, FUCK.

A few minutes later, Ashton knocked the bathroom door, "Um.. Effy?..do you need anything?" "Oh, no I'm fine, I'll be out in a sec!" I said as I dried off my face. I got out of the bathroom to reveal a shirtless Ashton putting some covers over the mattress on the floor. "The bathroom's ready if you want to use it" I told him quietly since almost everyone was asleep already "Oh, I'll be there in a second, you can sleep on the bed" he said as he pointed to the bed. "Oh, no, no Ashton it's okay I'll sleep on the floor." 'No Eff really, sleep on my bed. I don't have any problem with sleeping on the floor." he said with a convincing tone.

After debating about who should sleep on the bed, I gave up and walked over to the bed as he went inside the bathroom so I grabbed my phone to text my mom

To: Mom

Mom i'm spending the night at Poppy's. Sorry for telling you this late, call you tomorrow morning.xx

 

I know, I lied about sleeping over at Poppy's, but it's not like I'm gonna tell her that I'm spending the night at a guy who I just met's house. A second later, Ashton walked out of the bathroom "OOH I forgot you needed something to sleep in! give me a second I'll give you something." i just laughed and thanked him. "Are sweatpants and a hoodie ok?" he said as I nodded and threw them over to me. I went to the bathroom to get them on , the hoodie was huge and the sweats didn't fit me at all. shit. "Ashton! do you have smaller sweats or something.. smaller?.." I said from inside the bathroom, i heard him giggle and walk over to the bathroom

" Those are the smallest clothes I have , are you really that small?" he asked in between giggles " You already knew that! what am I supposed to wear now?" "Well.... maybe my boxers can fit you?..." OH GOD NO doesn't he have anything else?! it takes me a few seconds to answer "Maybe..." He walks over to his closet and comes back with some plaid boxer-short thingy, and as he hands them to me a little giggle escapes from his lips "What's so funny?!" i ask him a little too harsh. " My hoodie looks huge on you." he says as he giggles again " I knoooow thaat already! stop reminding me about my 10 year old kid size ok?" I say as I laugh "You don't have the size of a 10 year old! plus, it looks cute on you." he says giggling AGAIN, it's adorable to be honest. I just laughed again and closeed the door as I pull over his boxers and surprisingly, they fitted me. 

As I walked over to his bed, i see that he is laying on the mattress on his phone and he suddenly looks up and smiles "what?" I ask a little too quiet "Nothing.." he replies with a small laugh which i return. "I'm sorry I'm sleeping in here, the guest room was taken.." he says as he looks down "I should be the one apologizing, i basically took your bed!" i tell him, " It's okay! I already told you that i have no problem in sleeping on the mattress!" "fine! it's already very late, we should go to sleep."I tell him with a yawn  "Yeah, well then lights off!" he says as he turns off the light. "Goodnight Eff."  "Goodnight Ashton, thanks for everything.." I say as I feel myself drifting off. "No, thank you." and with that I fall asleep.

I wake up, but it's dark and I'm not in Ashton's room, I'm in my room. I hear someone screaming and arguing with someone else downstairs, I instantly know what's going on.Not this fucking nightmare again. My mom is yelling at my dad. They are arguing about him cheating on her, until he says "Fine, then I'll take my stuff and leave"  "But what about Effy?" my mom says, he doesn't say anything and walks towards the door, leaving us.I start crying as I feel someone shaking me.

"Effy! Eff! wake up!" I open my eyes and see Ashton shaking me up "Eff, are you okay? you started crying and-"  "Yeah, yeah i'm okay. Sorry I woke you up.." I say as I sit up. "Do you want to talk about it?.." he asks, and before i can even say something I start to cry again, He hugs me and I immediately feel safe in his arms. "Shh.shh.. Don't cry Effy, do you want to talk about it in the morning?"Ashton says with a soft voice , I just nod. Why am I so fucking pathetic, look at me, crying with a guy that I just met at 4AM because of a stupid nightmare. 

Ashton's POV

Something woke me up, i heard soft and quiet cries and as i got up, I noticed they were Effy's. I walked over to her and tried to wake her up by calling her name, but she wouldn't. I start to shake her a little and say her name a few times as she wakes up, panting. "Eff, are you okay? you started crying and-" she cuts me off by saying "Yeah, yeah i'm okay. Sorry I woke you up.." I asked her if she wanted to talk about it but before she could say anything she started crying. I held her in my arms as she cried, it was so sad to see her like this, I don't want to pressure her right now but I wanna know why she was crying, I'll ask her tomorrow.

I held her for a while more and started to let go when I noticed that she was falling asleep, and as i was about to go back to the mattress she said with a quiet and somewhat scared voice "No.. please.. stay with me.. please."  I nodded and walked back to the bed, pulling up the covers over me and her small and petite frame. I held her close to me, and both of us soon fell asleep before we even knew it.
