Distance // Ashton Irwin

24. Breaking In and Entering

The next morning I woke up cuddling a bottle of vodka.

I felt like absolute shit.

That night I decided to drown my sorrows which may of been a fairly stupid decision. 'Alcohol isn't going to solve your problems you idiot' I said to myself as I rolled off the couch with a loud Thud.

Yeah I felt hungover and extremely sick, and not to mention Ashton had been on my mind all night.

I had thought long and hard about him wanting to talk, so does he want to feed me some bullshit story and expect me to come running to back to him?
'It's not like he's your boyfriend' I mumbled.

This was stupid. Here I was laying on my lounge room floor, hungover and acting like a complete idiot. This wasn't me at all.

I finally managed to stand up on my own two feet and walked upstairs to my bed room to once again sleep the day away. When would this stop? When would I finally realise that I had to move on from someone that wasn't even mine to start off with?

'Holly you are pathetic' I said to myself before shutting my eyes.

I awoke to a loud crash and bang. It literally sounded like someone was breaking into my house and I felt scared.

I sat up, now fully wide awake in my bed and remained silent into I heard the noise again. 'Am I being robbed?'

The thought of being robbed was actually quite terryfying. It's not like it could be anyone else though?

Cleo had been the only person I had known to break into my house at the dead of night and even then she was alot quieter than this.

'Why would anyone want to rob me?' I asked myself and I hurried down stairs, carrying a plastic baseball bat in my hands.

It was pitch black and it would of been close to being 3am.

I stood quivering a few meters away from the front door when I heard the sound again, this time someone had managed to open the door and in walked two figures. I couldn't make out any faces because I could barely see anything. I kept walking backwards and away from the two people until I crashed into the wall, I let out a yelp and to my surprise the light flickered on.

To my surprise two robbers were not standing infront of me, instead the two people standing infront of me happened to be Michael and Ashton.

"What the fuck are you doing here and why did you break into my house! I could of called the cops!" I yelled as I angrily glared at them.

"Ash needs to talk to you." Michael spoke.

"Well I told him before that I don't want to talk to him, as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure I told him I didn't even want to see him." I said staring directly at Michael and avoiding any eye contact with Ashton.

"You don't get it Holly." Ashton finally spoke.

"I want to be with you and I didn't do any of this on purpose" he added.

I faked a sarcastic laugh. "Bullshit." I replied.

"Nothing even happened between me and that girl Holly! Luke and Calum just jumped to conclusions when she walked into our hotel and we dissapeard into the room. She wasn't anyone special, nothing happened!" Ashton yelled.

"Well then why would Calum tell Cleo that something did?" I angrily asked, now looking at him straight in the eye.

"They don't think it will work. They don't think that we can do this, together. They like you Holly! They want whats best for you and they don't think that you being with me is what is best for you. Don't get me wrong, Calum is one of my best mates, but he doesn't think we should be together. After he saw me with that girl, after the media broke out, after all the drama that it caused, they told me that it could never work." He finished.

"Holly I want to be with you! I do!" He yelled.

For some strange reason I was starting to feel sorry for him. What if he was actually telling the truth? Was Michael the only one that was backing him up about this? Was that why Michael is here?

"does Michael agree with you?" I asked.

They both nodded.

"I want you Ashton. But I just don't know if this is going to work." I added.

He sighed.

"Yeah I know." He finally spoke.

"Hey.. we aren't here for long, so um if you want, meet us at the airport in two days, I'll text you when." He added.

I nodded and then they both walked out.

I knew that something was going on, there was a reason why Ashton wanted to see me at the airport, I could just tell.

I took a deep breath and walked back up to my room.

This time I couldn't sleep, I couldn't think about anything else other than him.
