Weak [Lashton AU]

Chapter 2

My alarm went off. I reached over and slammed the stop button.

"What did I say about slamming your alarm, Irwin?" I heard my mum from downstairs.

I rolled my eyes, "It's not gonna break!"

"You'll be saying different when it does break!" She yelled, "Now get yo ass down here!"

Hmm... déjà vu. I went to get up and went into the bathroom. I went in the shower and turned on the water while washing my hair. I then washed my body and after rinsing I turned off the water. I used to towel to mess up my hair and once I was satisfied I got dressed.

"Can you hurry the hell up, Ashton? I have to go to work!" my mum screamed from downstairs.

I ran down, "Fucking wait!" I screamed.

"Don't fucking swear!" she replied.

Shaking my head, I walked into the kitchen grabbing an apple.

"Honey, you're very skinny. Grab some more food."

I rolled my eyes and grabbed a juice box.

"Happy?"

I walked out the door before she could object and got in the car with Michael.

"You're late today." I stated, while driving.

I scoffed, "I had to take a shower for your information, sir!"

"Whatever! You were late and..." he continued, but I zoned out.

I walked over to the round table with my friends Julie, Michael, Calum, and Liam.

"And then we clogged the guy's toilet with his shoe. He was so mad that he threatened to kill us with his other shoe! It was insane and we both had to run out of the house and drive away!" Calum exclaim excitedly.

I sat down, "so whatcha' guys up to?" I said.

Julie looked over at me, "I have no idea..." she paused, "they just keep talking."

"Hey, shut up!" shouted Michael, "we happened to be very interesting."

They continued to babble and I just watched in entertainment. I look over to another table and saw a blonde starring at me. His eyes continuously darted from me to Calum. When he realized I was starring at him, he got up and started to walk towards our table.

I yelped and nudged Julie, who was sitting next to me.

"What-" she paused and looked where I was looking.

We both were silent until he came over.

"Hey, Calum," he began, "whatcha' doing?"

He spoke in softly and the words seemed to roll of his lips with ease. I couldn't help but stare at his lip ring.

"And who are you?" Luke snapped me out of it.

"This is Ashton," said Julie.

"Well, Ashton is adorable," he said seductively.

I blushed and smiled like an idiot and looked down at my hands.

Julie noticed, "well, it was nice meeting you."

"It was a pleasure," he sat down next to me and put his hand on my thigh, "and I'll make it pleasurable," he whispered into my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.

"And it would be great if you could go, I was just about to tell Ashton something important," she said slowly.

"Till next time," he said swiftly.

Everyone around me was stunned, except Calum, oddly enough. I turned to look at Julie and she gave me a confused look.

"You barely know the guy and you're already all over each other," she exclaimed.

"I did nothing!" I shouted innocently.

"You should talk to whoever is texting you. He or she obviously cares enough to text you. And who knows, he may be a hottie," Julie said convincingly.

"You're probably right. However, he may be a stalker," I giggled.

"He probably is. But hey, that stuff is pretty kinky. I can tell you're into the kinky shit."

I rolled my eyes, "we don't even know what gender this person is!"

She turned towards the players practicing, "then you'll have to find out."

She turned to look at a cheerleader in the distance. She had black hair and appeared to be the leader.

I laughed, "are you into her?"

"Yep," she said simply.

"Hey sexy!" someone shouted from the field.

I looked over and saw Luke, winking at me. I blushed like a tomato.

Julie patted me on the back, "you're hopeless."

I pouted as she laughed.

After the game was over, I decided to walk home alone even though it was a bit far away. I tightened my coat around myself as the cold, autumn breeze wrapped around me.

I heard footstep speeding up behind me. I turned to find an arm wrapped around me.

"Hey cutie," Luke whispered into my ear.

I slide his arm off my shoulder.

"I don't even know what grade you're in and how do you know I'm gay?" I scoffed, and continued walking.

He continued to follow me.

"Because you shiver when I touched you, blush, look down and smile," he said expectantly.

He had a good point.

"You can't just wrap your arm around me expecting me to like you," I sighed, "and this is some cruel joke, isn't it?" I looked down.

People around us began to stare when he put his arm around my shoulder again. I didn't bother to shake it off.

We stayed like this until we arrived at my house. I mentally slapped myself for leading him right to my house.

"See you tomorrow, sexy," he leaned in for a hug but I quickly walked away, causing him to almost fall.

He walked away while texting on his phone, ignoring my objection.

I walked inside my house. My mum must've not come home yet. I walked upstairs and took my phone out of my pocket. I had text messages.

Julie:

Hey, Ashton, did you make it home okay?

Send:

I may have a weak heart but I am capable of walking home by myself.

I looked at my other message find one from my mum and another from the unknown number. I put him in my contact as 'x'.

X:

Have fun with your new boyfriend?

I gaped at the text. I immediately put my phone down and backed away to the backpack carelessly thrown on the floor. I reached in a got out my homework. I walked over to my window and shut the curtains. Then I sat down on my bed and did my homework, pretending I didn't have a stalker.
