How it started™ | Ashton Irwin Fanfic

Chapter 11

{I picture Morgan as Ross lynch, I know maia and Ross were in teen beach movie together but that's just how I pictured him😊 and picture Chastity as Sasha Pieters x }

I arrived into my house at a few minutes past eleven. Simon was in the recording studio, passed out across his desk. I didn't blame him, I knew he had a busy schedule.

I tiptoed up the stairs, careful not to wake up my sisters but Morgan was probably still awake. He was in the main upstairs bathroom brushing his teeth. His white blonde hair was disheveled and stuck up in all directions. He was wearing old sweatpants far down on his hips and no shirt. When he saw me he wiped his mouth and turned on his feet, running into my arms.

"Cass," he whispered over my hair and into my ear.

"Hey," I replied, hugging him tight.

"What's the story with mom?" He asked quietly, he too probably not wanting to wake our sisters.

"She's fine. Teegan was overreacting, really. She was in a minor car accident but she's okay, thankfully." I answered, tugging out of his embrace as it was awkward being pressed against his bare chest.

"Thank god!" Morgan breathed, stepping back from me.

"Yeah, I'm gonna get to bed. I'm really tired." I smiled, walking towards my bedroom.

"Yeah, me too. Night Cass," Morgan coughed, walking into his bedroom.

I pulled off my clothes and slipped into a old tee shirt of Coles. It was warm and soft. I hauled myself into bed and took up my phone, checking my notifications. I had a text from Rhys and Ashton.

Ash xx💙: had a great time tonight sweet dreams xx

Me: only of you ❤️💙

He didn't reply. I didn't blame him. It was late and he was still jet lagged a bit. He was probably asleep.

Rhys: sorry

I was thankful that he had apologised, but he had to learn that I didn't need him to protect me any more. In a week, I would be 18... Finally legal, and he still thought I was a child.

Me: you have to stop protecting me. I not a little kid and Ashton is so sweet.

I got an immediate reply.

Rhys: I don't see it

Me: u should its pretty obvious

Rhys: I just have an instinct to protect u from things that could hurt u. Ive know u forever and I have always looked out for u

Me: and I'm glad for that but Ashton won't hurt me.

Me: and he's my boyfriend now so get used to it

Rhys: jeez k

Rhys: just saying I'm sorry for wanting to protect u

Me: thanks see u tomorrow

Rhys: bye x

I put down my phone and drifted away. That night, I had a good sleep, the best I had had in a while. I had nothing to worry about; my mom was fine, Ashton was my boyfriend, Rhys and I were okay again. Perfect.

Simon woke me early.

"Cassandra!" He yelled, jolting my door open ajar.

"What!" I answered sharply.

"Get up, you're going to be late! Millie has already called you four times! C'mon!" Simon shut the door and I flung my legs out of the bed. My alarm clock said 6.47am. Seventeen minutes late, whoops but that wouldn't make a difference.
