Anger Issues (under construction)

Chapter Nine

I wake up to the feeling of Ashton lightly tickling my sides. I giggle and turn over but I don't open my eyes. After a few minutes he stops trying to tickle me and I start to drift back off to sleep. But Ashton had other ideas in mind.

The next thing I know I feel myself being shaken around by Ashton. I groan and he huffs. "Wake up sleepy head" Ashton whines. "I don't wanna" I pout with my eyes still closed.

"Wake up beauty's" he uses a new nickname and I cringe. I open an eye to see him silently cringing at the nickname too. I laugh and shake my head before closing my eye again. "Noooo wake up" he says and bounces up and down in his spot making the truck move. 

"But I'm tired" I say rolling over on top of Ashton and opening my eyes. "Good for you but I'm not" he states and I furrow my eyebrows together. "Your mean!" I stick my tongue out at him and he sticks his tongue back out at me. "Get up" he says and I say something back that I immediately regret saying. "Make me!" I yell and I wince at the words that just came out of my mouth.

"You wanna take that back?" Ashton asks and I stubbornly shake my head. Why, why, why didn't you just say yes?  I think to myself and he raises his eyebrows. He then smirks and stands up. Oh no!  I mentally start to prepare myself for what's about to come.

Ashton picks me up and walks over the edge of the truck bed.

Before he fully picks me up I wrap myself in my blankets because I get really cold in the morning and I didn't want to be a shivering mess.

I let out a small squeak as Ashton jumps down from the bed of the truck whilst still holding me. Dang this dude is strong! He then walks over to the backseat of his truck and opens the door, gently setting me in. I decide not to question why he did that because I didn't want him to take me out. I'm freezing!

As Ashton lets go of me, he feels how cold my hands are and panic takes over his usual calm and dorky appearance. "Why are you so cold?" he asks, worry is laced throughout his sentence. "I'm usually cold when I first wake up it's how my body is" I answer and he nods then furrows his eyebrows.

"How come you weren't shivering as bad the last couple of times I've stayed with you?" he asks, while at the same time blowing on my hands to create some sort of warmth. "Because your body was next to me and you usually warmed me up" I say and his face saddens. "I'm sorry for how I woke you up. I didn't know you would be freezing cold" he shakes his head as he talks and I smile once he finishes. 

"I'm fine, don't worry. I like how you woke me up. It puts me in a good mood" I say trying to make him happy again. I don't like it when Ashton frowns because he's the kind of person that looks on the bright side of things in the most horrible situations, even if he gets the name 'bad boy'. His face brightened and he starts to smile again.

"Good, now come here and let me warm you up" he opens up his arms and I immediately slide into them. Warmth starts to surround me the longer I'm next to him and soon I stop shivering. After I had fully woken up we decided to pack up and head home to get ready because it was time for us to go. I didn't want to be late for school because, I just started.

We parted ways after saying our goodbyes and I headed home. Don't worry Benny is with me, I didn't forget about him. Once I pulled up I noticed my dad's car in the driveway but it was a bit early for him to be awake so I knew he was sleeping. I quietly snuck up the stairs and into my room with Benny following me. I make sure to close the door behind me. I immediately went to the bathroom because I really had to pee. 

I decided to take a shower first so I went to my dresser and pulled out my outfit for today. It was a pair of ripped jeans with a burgundy t-shirt that had a square pocket in the front and some black converse high tops.
