      ~Corrine~

     They laughed at me the whole way to the band room, while I exaggerated him being naked and being 'kidnapped'.

       I glared slightly off to the side, with a small smile on my lips, as we walked in. "I hate you both but here" they looked up and instantly stopped laughing.

     Yeah I'm gonna feed them to the sharks.

"Why did you.." they trailed off slowly as the boys got up and pulled them into the room while Ash just watched. "Cmere Princess" he called offering me pizza.

I trudged over to him then plopped down on the chair next to him. "Thanks" I nodded and took the pizza eating it slowly.

         I'd rather devour it in one bite but Ashton would turn it into something sexual.

I glanced back to my friends, noticing that they were distracted eating their pizzas and oddly enough flirting back with the boys, I turned back to Ashton.

     "Soo wanna explain why I'm 'yours' " I questioned making sure to use my air quotations. He'd say the same thing as he always would.

               "You've always been mine, you'll always be mine" he replied like it was the most obvious thing in the whole world. I knew it.

        "That's not how it works" I mumbled taking bites of my kinda cold pizza.

              He sighed a bit. "Corrine I'm not fighting you on this you're mine, you've been mine since we were little...you were given to me" he turned to his phone and started to go through social media.

           I glanced at his screen to see him change all his stuff to in a relationship. "You're in a relationship" I questioned feeling a bit hurt. Eventually I'll have to sit and understand what Ashton meant to me.

     He only chuckled, finished he's pizza, then draped he's arm around me. "Yeah you Princess".

        I rolled my eyes ready to ignore him until a ringing started. The weird relationship dynamic not only gave him whiplash but me too.

          We all looked over to him. The boys stood silently and waited. Ashton started talking on the phone in Italian. He always spoke Italian since he's dad is from there but I never learned it.

        Well fully.

          "Cosa ti serve don?" (What do you need don?) Ash huffed out waiting for a response. He waited a few minutes before he continued, "Scopare quanto?" (fuck how much) he asked with a smirk and nod. I think the man said something about a thousand or more but I haven't spoke Italian in years, not since I left, and I also couldn't hear him through the phone clearly.

       "Quanto mercanzia ha?" (How much merchandise does it have) he drawled out thinking a bit. "Quanta protezione?" (how much protection) he asked.

       He nodded his head then turned back to the boys and nodded his head. "Lotta ad anello e una rapina" (Ring fight and a robbery) He mumbled calmly as they all nodded.

I picked up on the last bit.

      It was something about a robbery and a fight. "C-cosa stai pianific-ando?" (W-what are you plann-ing?) I asked Ashton as he hung up.
