Bullied by Ashton Irwin

Chapter 4

I woke up to the horrid sound of my alarm clock. I pressed the button and sat up. Did Mikey bring me here? Michael was asleep on my floor so I guess he did. I slowly slid away, trying not to wake him, and softly ran to the kitchen. I filled a large bowl up with cold, cold, water.

I soon went back up (with slight difficulties) and the bowl was half empty (the carpet looked like someone put a river in the house and left it to dry away). I walked over, quiet as possible, and tipped the water. His eyes shot opened and he nearly screamed. A series of laughs and giggles came from me, and he giggled, getting up and shaking his wet hair on me.

I glared playfully at him as he walked away. We had to get ready for school, so I did the usual. Once we were ready to go, we walked to the by stop in silence. A very peaceful silence. We still waited in silence, and when the bus came, we got on and stayed quiet.

We were soon to the school, and right after Michael stepped off the bus, I jumped on his back. He was surprised, but strong enough to hold me. I laughed yelling, "Onwards," posting to the school. Some kids gave us weird looks as we passed. saw Ashton in the hallway, and I waved. He came over to me and said, "Who do you think you are? You're not supposed to wave at me." and he slapped me. I could feel tears well up in my eyes but I wasn't going to cry.

I quickly ran away and headed to first period. I saw Luke and he noticed I was upset. He asked what's wrong. "Ashton. Everything about Ashton is wrong!" He looked confused. After a minute, he realized what happened. "Too many people were asking why Ashton wasn't beating everyone up, and it made him worried." Then the bell rang and the rest of the day went by fast.

At the end of the day, I saw Ashton behind the school with Luke and Calum. I was so scared to see him after what happened. Then I saw him running up to me. "Hey Megan. What's up?" "Why are you even talking to me?" I'm sure he heard the frustration in my voice. "I thought you changed Ashton. What the fuck happened? Were you just playing me?" "No Megan. I wasn't. It's just such a big change, and people were wondering what was going on. It can't happen that fast ok? I'm sorry but I had to." I had to. Why did he have to?

For the next few days, things were slow but still harsh. It sucked because I knew on the inside he wanted to stop, but he couldn't. It made me angry. I just wanted it all to end.

A few days later, Michael and I decided to go for a walk. We were heading for Starbucks, when we saw Ashton. I could practically feel the hatred in Michael's eyes, but I put a hand on his shoulder, my eyes telling him not to. Ashton started to walk over to us. I knot curled in my stomach as he uttered one word.

"Hello."

"What do you want?" Michael said harshly. Ashton looked upset, because he knew that I was hurt by what happened. Ashton stopped walking and said, "I was afraid that my popularity would plummet. I don't want to be known as a guy who beats everyone up, and I don't want to be known as the nicest guy in school that people can walk all over," he said, guilt in his voice.

"Ashton," I started angrily. "You hurt me. I thought you changed but you're still the same asshole you always were! I don't think anyone can help you, because if they try, they get hurt. The way to change, is to stop what you're doing and change yourself. I guess I was stupid for trying to help you. I should've known I was going to get hurt!" By now I was full on screaming at him.

Ashton looked like he was about to cry and before he got ready to run off he said, "I want you to fucking help me."

"Why Ashton. Why me?" You could see the hurt in his eyes. "Because I like you, alright!" At this point tears were rolling down his cheeks. "I've always liked you." And with that he ran off leaving Michael and I frozen from shock.

Dayummmmmmmmmm. Welp, fudge you Ashton. Panhandle (omf, I meant to say 'nah' and it auto corrected to panhandle XD, WTH? Imma leave it there xD), I love you Ashton (even though I'm a Michael girl.) ok, don't forget to vote, comment, and follow <3!
