|Misunderstood| Ashton Irwin

Chapter fourteen

Bella Waters pov

My alarm wakes me at 6am the next morning. I groan then lazily get out of bed and grab a shower.

After I'm dressed and my small amount of make-up is applied I walk into the kitchen to make my usual morning cup of coffee. While the kettle is boiling my phone starts to vibrate on the kitchen counter.

Ashton. Of course.

"Hello?"

"Hey Bella"

"Hi Ashton"

"You okay?"

"Um yeah I guess" I shrug.

"So I was wondering if you're free anytime today?" He asks and I nod, forgetting he cant see me.

"Yeah, well I have a free period second today so I have one hour free between ten and eleven" I say.

"Great, I'll pick you up outside the school gate at ten then" he chirps.

"Okay then, see ya"

And with that we both hung up, I made my coffee then left for college.

***

All through first period, geography, I watch the clock as the hour slowly comes to an end. I swear the clock in that room needs fixing as it seems every time I'm sat in there on a tuesday morning, time goes by so slowly.

As soon as the bell rings I dash out of the classroom and make my way to the front gate.

He will be here anytime now.

I sit on the small brick wall and watch as everyone piles into their next class.

The wind starts to pick up, blowing my hair into my face. I brush it back as best as I can using my hands but then give up in the end.

I look down at my watch.

10.01am

It's fine. Men are always late.

I start to imagine him driving in his car. I wonder if he's listening to music. I picture him singing along to whatever song it is and a small smile appears on my face.

"Hey Bella"

I look to my right to see Blake sat next to me. I roll my eyes at him then move slightly to my left to try and get away from him.

"Who are you waiting for?" He asks.

"Not now Blake please" I say.

Why? Why me? There's over seven billion people on this planet yet I'm the one Blake Stevens has to consistently annoy and pick on and get involved with everything I do in my god damn life!

"Your waiting for him aren't you?"

I seriously don't get this boy.

"And by him you mean Ashton?" I raise an eyebrow and he sigh.

"I don't get why you want to hang out with him all the bloody time?"

"Because Blake he makes the effort to be nice to me, unlike some people around here" I give him 'the look' to tell him I'm talking about him.

"But don't you miss them good old times when we used to hang out and be really close. Them times where you didn't care about anything apart from having a good time, them times when-"

"No I do not miss 'them times' and I don't want to talk about 'them times' so if you would please excuse me, I believe Ashton will be here to pick me up anytime now, so goodbye Blake, see you tomorrow" I start to walk away but he grabs me by my solders and pulls me back.

Why does he always do this?

"Don't try and get cleaver with me Waters, you know what I can do to you" he growls through gritted teeth.

I shake my head at him.

"It's Bella! And you wonder why I don't like you and wonder why I don't want it to be like 'them times'! This conversation is ov-"

Before I can finish Blake gets pulled back and falls to the floor. I look up to the person standing in front of me.

Ashton.

"Don't even dare come near her again like that or I swear to god I will finish you" he yells looking down at Blake who is still lying on the floor.

My eyes widen as I look between the two boys.

Part of me wants to burst into laughter at how pathetic Blake looks on the floor and the other part of me wants to run into Ashton's arms.

I swear he always knows a good time to show up.

"Let's go" Ashton nods towards his car and I follow him.

"When did you show up?" I ask, walking fast to try and keep up with his speedy pace.

"I was here long enough to see him corner you and start to threaten you"

We get to his car and we both get in.

"I haven't seen you yell like that before" I say quietly.

"Oh sorry, I didn't really mean for it to come out like that, I guess I was just really mad at him. I hate the thought of you getting hurt by him, it actually makes me feel a bit sick thinking about all the things he will do to you to make you feel small. I cant believe he could be such a dick to you, I'm sorry I was a few minutes late. If I has just got there on time, I could of picked you up before he started bothering you, I'm so sorry Bella"

"It's fine, don't apologies, it's not your fault. Me and Blake have had our problems for years. It's weird because sometimes for just a split second it feels like he still cares for me, ya know? We uses to be friends but grew apart, but part of me feels me like he still likes me. I know thats hard to believe after what you saw him do last week but" i sigh and run my fingers through my now knotted her, "I don't know, he just changes his attitude towards me so quickly, like one minute it's the old him and the next its the him that hates me and wants to hurt me, I just don't get it"

"Me neither, just try and stay away from him yeah?"

I laugh at how ironic that is.

Blake doesn't want me near Ashton.

Ashton doesn't want me near Blake.

Well, I can tell this is going to end well...

A/n:

I promised an update so I halved this chapter into two smaller chapters so I can then write the rest and update the rest tomorrow as well.

Tell me if there is any mistakes in this chapter as well.

I feel like I've said 'well' to many times in the last few sentences.

Anyways,
