Ashton Irwin pov
I basically run through the door to the small Starbucks café and look up at the clock.
9:40am.
"Your late, again" Calum calls over to me as I make my way behind the counter, wrapping the small black apron around my waist.
"I know, I'm sorry mate I just-"
"Ashton you know this time in the morning is our busiest so next time get your ass down here quicker okay?" He snaps and I raise an eyebrow at him.
"Okay okay" I hold my hands up then turn around to deliver some coffees, teas and hot chocolates that are waiting to be served.
"This ones for table eleven, okay?" Calum tosses the ticket at me and I read it.
7 hot chocolates. 5 with cream, 2 without.
Great. I hate big orders.
Once they are made I place them on a tray and head over to the back corner of the room.
"Seven hot chocolates, five with cream and 2 with-" they all turn around to look at me and I nearly drop the tray.
"Not you again" the tall blonde says.
"I could say the same thing" I fight back and slam the tray on the table, causing a few drinks to spill over the edge.
"You need to calm down, I don't see what your problem is" a ginger guy says.
"My problem is that I caught you beating up an innocent girl and here you are acting like none of this happened" I lower my voice so it comes out as more of a shouting whisper. I don't want to draw attention to this conversation.
"So what, no one seems to care when we do other stuff to her, no one gives a shit about her, everyone knows that, she's a nobody" the blonde one says and I gasp a little.
"What do you means she's a nobody, you dick! Of course she is! You shouldn't treat anyone like that and certainly not a girl!" I'm starting to get angry now, I just don't get it.
"Jesus Christ! Look just serve us our drinks and let it go, she'll be fine, she always is" he smirks and I walk away from them.
"Took your time with that order" Calum says looking up at the clock then back over to me, "having a nice chat were you?"
"What's his name" I nod towards the blonde guy.
"Who? Oh right that guy, yeah he's called Blake, nice lad he is, he's in my sister maths class at college" Calum smiles.
"Really because I caught him beating up a girl this morning, thats why I was late"
"Wait what? Who was it?" Calum suddenly looks concerned.
"I'm not sure, it's the first time I've seen her but she had blonde hair that fell to about" I point to half way down my back, "here and big brown eyes". I try my hardest to remember some features but the images of her smashed face wont leave my mind.
"Well that narrows it down a lot" Calum rolls his eyes and continues to make a coffee.
"She didn't tell me her name but that Blake guy was talking about her like a piece of dirt. I don't get whats wrong with him"
"Yeah I think I know who you mean" Calum shrugs,.
"How do you know her?"
"Everyone does, stupid" he sighs.
"Well I've only been here for a year so don't start calling me stupid"
"Okay well can you just get on with work, the teas will be getting cold" he nods towards the trays at the end of the counter.
"No wait" I put my arm out to stop him walking away.
"What now" he groans.
"Do you know what her name is?"
"Are you serious? What is this, twenty one questions or something?" He laughs and I shake my head.
"Just answer the question" I say and he sighs, again.
"Hardly anyone knows her name or whatever and we call her Waters because thats her last name, plus people know her but we don't know her" he says, "right, now get back to work"
"No, no wait!"
"Ashton"!" Calum warns.
"Just wait, what do you mean you know her but you don't know her?"
He glares at me then back to the clock, I seriously don't care how long this is taking.
"People know her for being a weirdo. She's always by herself and something happened two years ago and now she's messed up, up here" he taps the side if his head, "she lives alone because her mum left her when she was fourteen and her dad, well I think he's dead but I seriously don't care"
I'm surprised at Calum's reaction towards her, he's normally so...nice but now, now he's so disrespectful towards her.
What the hell is going on?
