In love with my brother's bestfriend

Chapter Nine

Sorry for the long delay for the update but my studies this year will be more important than updating my stories. Sorry but I'm in year 11, one of the most important years of my life and I don't want to mess it up. ANYWAY on with story.

CRYSTAL POV.

I groaned as I wone up with a pounding headache in my temples and I groaned as I had to move one of the twins off of me and I went into the kitchen and started to find any tablet to relieve me of this headache. After a few minutes I found some tablets and I took two before throwing them back in the cupboard and shutting the door and I looked round for Ashton hoping he could give me a ride home... But the amount of passed out teenagers on the floor this would be hard to find someone. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw I had one new message and I opened it and realised that it was from Adam.

We need to talk when you get home. Adam.

I sighed as I knew I was in trouble and placed my phone in my pocket and I saw Ashton sleeping on the floor next to George hugging him. Well it was more like spooning and I just pulled my phone back out snapping a few pictures before getting on my knees and shaking him and he grumbled and his eyes slowly opened and he smiled.

"Hey Crystal what's up?" He asked and I smiled helping him to his feet.

"Adam wants me home and I need you to drive me back. If you want you can use my shower" I said fluttering my eye lashes and he laughed but held the front of his head.

"That hurt. Okay come on then" He said taking my hand in his and he lead me out the house stepping over the sleeping bodies of hungover teenagers.

We got outside and got into the car and Ashton started drivibg me home and I just sat in the car half asleep.

When we got to my house we were both met with Adam and he narrowed his eyes at the both of us and I rolled my eyes as I got out of the car.

"Your a real piece of work Crystal" He said taking my upper arm into his grasp and tried pulling me into the house and I struggled in his grasp and luckily Ashton helped me get him off of me.

"Dude, don't grab her like that!" Ashton said loudly pushing Adam away from me and Adam started getting angry.

"Excuse me? Who the hell do you think you are getting involved in my family business?" Adam retaliated to Ashton by pushing Ashton back and trying to throw a punch at Ashton and hit him on the mouth which split his mouth open.

"Since your treating my girlfriend like dirt on the bottom of your shoe" He said and punched Adam in the eye and I stood frozen in place and looked at the two of them fighting and throwing punches at each other.

"Stop! Please!" I begged but they carried on fighting and I ran into the middle of them trying to break them up but I got punched in the face and I fell on the groung and I looked up at Adam who was standing looking down at me mortified of what he has done.

"Crystal I'm so sorry-"

"Save it Adam!" I snapped wiping the blood off from my mouth and Ashton helped me up and put a protective arm around me.

"Adam I'm not going to let Crystal stay with you. Not after this. What happens if I'm not there and you punch her?" Ashton yelled at him Nd Adam's eyes narrowed at Ashton.

"I WOULD never hurt my sister" He snapped and Ashton looked at my lip and shook his head.

"Really? Because you've busted her lip open" He said and Adam looked at me with regret in his eyes and I looked away and looked at Ashton.

"Take me back to your flat Ashton. I don't really have anything to say to Adam" I finishes and he nodded going back to the car and opening the passenger side door and letting me inside before shutting the door and Adam xame to my window.

"I'm so sorry Crystal"

"Leave me alone Adam. Your exactly like dad" I snapped looking away from him and that's when Ashton drove off back to his flat. And I didn't realise that Ashton was seated and buckled in until we left.

Adam POV

I gripped my hair and rushed back inside the house and when I looked at a photo of mum and dad when they were younger, smiling and posing for the camera and something caught my eye and I peered closely at the photo and saw that mum had dark bruises on her shoulder but unfortunately her cardigan was see through so you saw them and I took the picture off from the wall and thre it against it and I grabbed my phone calling mum and she answered on the second ring.

"Mum, do you think you can come back?" I whispered when I knew she was on the phone and and her gentle breathing was all I could hear.

"No Adam, but if you come meet me I'll speak to you" She said and I sighed.

"Why did you leave me with dad mum?" I asked and I heared her choke on her sob.

"That night before I left he said if I took either one of you he would kill me... Adam I've been living in fear of him for a long time.  I was forced into a marriage that I didn't want but I can tell you one thing. You and Crystal were the most perfect thing that came out of the dark times. You are my hope and I left knowing he would never hurt you.  But Crystal... I'm not so sure" she said quietly and that confused me.

"What do you mean mum?!" I asked and another sob escaped her lips.

"Your not Crystal's full brother" Sje said and I dropped the phone for a moment in utter shock and I shook my head picking it back up.

"Mum I'll see you within the hour" I hunf up the phone and pressed the hang up button and my eyes fell on a picture of me and Crystal when we were younger. It was when we went to Disneyland for her birthday and we took a picture with Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

What have I done?

-- Crystal POV.

I ran the cotton wool ball over Ashton's lio and he hissed in pain and I flinched looking at him.

"I'm sorry" I said as I cleaned him up and disposed of the bloody wool that I cleaned his lip with.

"It's alright, I know your safe that all that matters" he said quietly as he ran his hand through my hair and I smiled placing my hand on his face and I stood in between his legs as he sat on the counter.  The only reason I had him sit on the counter was to see if he needed stitches and to check for any other damage but nope. Only his lip. My thumb dragged against his bottom lip slowly and my arms went round his beck and I looked into his eyes and we made eye cobtact for a moment before his eyes went to my lios for a second. I bkushed and leaned in placing a sweet lingering kiss on the lips as as I pulled away to let him move he pulled my arms gently and pulled me back to him for a kiss which was deepened. I felt his tongue in my mouth and it tasted of some WKD I knew he was drinking last night but it was faint.

He pulled away and I stepped back and Ashton got down from the counter and held my hands in his.

"Crystal, do you think we would still be together by Christmas?" He asked and I thought about it carefully.  It was only the twenty fifth of November and I smiled.

"I think so" I smiked and he just pulled me in for another kiss.

Ashton may be a jerk at times but he can be the most loving guy I ever met. Hopefully we will have our first Christmas together. Only time would tell.
