Daylight (a.i)

Twelve

Jo's POV

I know I shouldnt have left.

I should have stayed at the concert like a normal and sane person.

I just couldnt, there were so many heavy factors adding onto the axiety I was feeling and it was all becoming to much. The way Michael stared at me with kindness and warm and the way Ashton glared at me with anger and coldness made my heart pound.

But not in a good way.

Never would I Ever think that Michael would have any feelings for me, and I hate my self for being so naive in that thought. Michael has made three advances towards me and is never great at hiding his feelings around me; constently dropping hints.

But like the idiot I am I igored them all, too consumed in all that is Ashton Irwin.

The situation in its entirety reminds me of being pulled down into the ocean, fighting to reach the top, fighting to breath in what you so despaertly need but failing in the end. It's like I can see what I want but I cant reach it, and as result I'm left with a burning in my lungs.

It sounds ridiculous to me; it's still confusing. Ive only know Ashton for a short while but he manages to possess my every thought.

If anything it makes me angry, I tell myself over and over again

Ashton doesnt want to be with you

He can't and it wouldnt work

Stop beating youself up about it.

Im never able to convince myself long enough and I eventually slip back into a dream where Ashton and I can be together and just figure things out. He is the first person that Ive been able to talk to about what happened to me that night, and he actually makes me feel comfortable.

The way his eyes shut a little when he laughes and his nose crinkles when he's focused makes me sad and overwhelmed all at once and it's driving me crazy.

On top of that there is Michael, he is so incredibly sweet and attractive

just a side note

but he deserves someone better then me, I am obvously not over Ashton and Michael derserves a girl that will give him her full attention.

It's just that this all can get a bit confusing at times, Ashton doesnt want to try to make a realationship work but Michael does.

Is it wrong that I see them both as amazing guys?

I honestly dont know where to go from here, how can I ever confront them?

Michael and Ashton probably think I hate them because I left when its actually the opposite.

I finally got up from the bench as the city bus pulled up to the stop ready to take me away from the arena.

Ashton's POV

As we began to play Teenage Dream, Michael sat down at the edge of the stage near Jo. I brushed it off as a coincidence and began drumming the fimilar beat of the song. I couldn't stop thinking of Jo. Not even 24 hours ago, I didn't know her, and now, now I was hooked on her - I was wrapped around her finger.

As the song ended, Jo's eyes were wide with panic. Before long, she had pushed her way through the crowd to the exit. Michael looked back at me, and while Calum and Luke were intdrocuinig the next song, I stare at Michael, with a sense of death in my eyes. He quickly got the message and turned back around, red with embarrassment. The crowd took it as a joke and started 'awh'ing and shouting "Mashton!"

"Do you guys mind? I'm trying to do a job here!" Calum shouted in a humorous way and made the crowd erupt into a tsunami of screams.

"I"m sorry guys - this dude just started staring at me." I said and Luke tried to tell them the name of our final song - She Looks So Perfect.

"Dude are you okay?" Calum asked as he sat down on the couch in the dressing room. We had just finished the show and while the other were realivied that we were done, I was panicing more than I had ever before.

"Am I okay? Do I look okay to you? Jo just left - she's gone and I'm never going to see her again.She hates me, thats why she left"

"Mate if you like her that much go look for her. Here take the keys to the van. We'll be back at the hotel. Good luck i guess" Calum said, handing me the keys to the truck. I grabbed them out of his hands and quickly ran out the emergency exit door. I stayed in the shadows making sure I did not attract any fans and unlocked the van. I got in and started it up. I pulled out of the carpack and quickly started my search for Jo.

Driving past many dimly lit buildings, I thought about what to say to her.

Do I tell her Michael also likes her and absaloutly ruin my chances with her?

Do I tell her how I feel again, and try and make something work between us?

Or, do I leave her and go; not knowing what we could have been?\

Before giving up, I noticed a small figure crouched under a bus stop near the hotel I was staying at. I pulled in from the road and hopped out of the car. I walked slowly towards the bus stop and whispered through my dry throat. "Jo?"

She turned around with fear in her face. Her puffy, tear stained eyes were red and her beanie wet from what seemed to be tears. I crouched down infront of her and brought her into a hug. She collapsed into tears again and I held onto her tighter.

"Jo. It'sokay. You're fine now see?" I whispered softly

I felt her stiffen into the embrace and her eyes trail behind me.

There was a man all dark clothes walking directly towards us.

"Ashton im scared" She barely whispered.

As the man edged closer, I regained my voice enough to say;

"Listen mate, Touch her and you're dead. I'm not in the mood for a fight. So lay a finger on either of us, and ill break you into two pieces"

The man was soon standing above us and quietly said "You're just a little boy what can you do?"

I released Jo and just as I was about to hit the man, Jo stuck her foot out and kicked him. While he bent down in pain, I maganged to punch him in the face, knocking him over and giving me a chance to lift Jo up and carry her to the van,

"Never mess with an Irwin when they say they arent looking for a fight" I said to grtited teeth.

Soon, she was still crying as we made our way back to the hotel.
