Fix You (A.I)

Chapter 14

Effy's POV

I heard a faint giggle as I shut my bedroom door and walked back to my bed to finish packing and getting dressed. I was confused about what had happened a few moments ago, I mean I didn't expect Ashton to be seated by my bathroom door hearing me sing (or imitate dying whale cries, same thing really.) at all. I brushed it off and picked out a comfy outfit as I dried my hair and put it on, heading downstairs after I grabbed all my stuff. 

Ashton was sitting on the couch on his phone "Ready?" I nodded and he smiled as we headed out of the house and to his car. As a gentleman would do, he opened my door and put the bag on the trunk and got inside. "Sorry for kinda barging into your room like that." he said with an embarassed tone "It's okay, i mean I didn't expect that at all but it's fine, just... don't scare me like that." he laughed and changed the subject "Wanna put some of your music?" he said , handing me the aux cord "Sure, what do you want me to play?" "Surprise me." I playfully rolled my eyes and searched for my favourite band and tapped on the shuffle option, 'Robbers' by The 1975 immideately started playing.

"This is really good, who are these?" He asked looking over to me "The 1975, they're my favorite." "Well, I can see why" I just nodded and kept listening to it until he surprisingly turned the volume up and smiled, looking over at me as I sang along. 

We finally got to the house, I grabbed the door handle to open the door but Ashton stopped me from doing it "No, no, no. Wait for me to open it." "But I can do it!" "But I don't want you to! just wait" I scoffed and grabbed the handle again and before I could say a word, he locked my door and got out of the car, unlocked it, and opened it "Really?" I asked amused at his action "Oh, you love it Way. Come on, let's get inside before they finish the pizza." He said as he opened the trunk, took my bag, and started walking inside.

"You know I can carry that, right?" I told him trying to take the bag from him. He looked held it higher and looked down at me with a sympathetic smile, patting my head. I scoffed and rolled my eyes "Okay I get that I'm shorter than you, but that doesn't give you the right to do that!" "It so does! So get used to it , because it'll happen often." I decided not to answer back and just sighed, giving up. He opened the door and we walked inside, the voices of Michael and Luke arguing being the first thing heard.

"Michael you already had 6 slices! Just let me have that one, for fuck's sake!" Luke said in an annoyed tone. "Shut up, Luke. I like hawaiian more than you, so I get to eat it. You can have pepperoni or something." I gave Ashton a confused look and he just sighed and said "happens everytime they order hawaiian". There was a small pause before they continued their argument "But I-" "SILENCE!" Michael yelled ,making me jump a little  "Fine! I'll order another box of hawaiian pizza and I'm not giving you any." I quietly giggled, and Michael just mumbled a 'whatever' before we entered the living room.

Everyone was scattered around the couch and beside the coffee table, where the pizza was. Calum and Mia were all cuddled up in the couch, their eyes never leaving the Tv, Michael was on the other side of the couch eating his pizza and Luke was on the floor, looking at his phone. They all looked over to us as they heard us come in and greeted us, Mia standing up to hug me and pull me back to the couch.

We were watching Taken 2 and almost everyone was mesmerized by it. I had seen this movie about 27 times and it wasn't one of my favourites, I looked to my right side and saw that beside me, Michael was on his phone and glared at the movie every once in a while. He looked and acted like a complete asshole most of the time (or at least the time that I had been around him) but he had never been mean to me. Ashton had told me that he doesn't talk much with people that he doesn't know well, and he acts as he didn't have a soul, but that deep down he was a very nice and caring guy. So I decided to try and have a conversation with him and prove if he's an asshole or not, or at least to me.
