The Assistant || Ashton Irwin

1.8

6 months later.

Ashton and I had been getting on so well lately when thinking back to how we started all I could do was laugh.

I was sitting at home on the couch waiting for Ashton to call. He and the boys had gone on a promo tour for their new album.

My phone screen lit up with Ashton's picture. I squealed in delight.

"Hey" I answered the phone.

"Hey babe, how are you?" He asked. His voice sounded tired and sleepy, like he was lying down.

"Lonely without you. I never realised how big this house was" I said looking around at the quiet rooms.

"I miss you too. It's so hard to sleep without you here" he said in a mummer.

"Well I'll let you try sleep now and I'll talk to you in the morning alright" I said, a smile ever present on my face.

"Alright love, I love you" he said with a yawn.

"Love you too" I said hanging up. I sprung off the couch and went over last minute checks. What Ashton didn't know was I would be talking to him in the morning, but face to face. I had everything ready to go and all I had to do was try get some sleep.

As the months went by Ashton and myself had grown closer than ever, he knew all my secrets and I knew his. We were stronger together and a force to be reckoned with.

With little sleep my alarm woke me and I dashed around to get ready. I pulled on jeans and one of Ashton's sweaters to keep me warm and comfy and applied minimum amount of makeup and pulled my hair up into a bun. I skipped out the door and locked up and bundled into the car I had called to take me to the airport.

I checked in and waited on my flight to Paris, France. The thoughts of flying still terrified me but when the end result would be me in Ashton's arms it got me through it.

I sat in my seat on the plane, flicking through a magazine with one earphone in listening to Ed Sheeran.

"Oh my god, you're Ali Irwin aren't you?" Someone said, and I looked up to find a girl seating in the seat on the aisle looking at me.

"That's me" I smiled.

"Oh wow, I love 5sos, they're like my favourite band ever!" She said.

"Aww they'll be thrilled to hear, do you have Twitter?" I asked and she nodded, "Ok well give me your username and I'll get the boys to follow you"

"Seriously? Oh my god! Thank you" she smiled and handed me a piece of paper.

"Just do me a favour and don't tweet about this, I'm surprising Ash" I smiled and she nodded.

The rest of the flight passed quickly and soon we had landed and I was getting my bag from baggage claim. I made my way outside and got a taxi to the boys hotel. Emma, was in on my plan and was waiting for me to check in.

"Hello darling" she smiled giving me a hug and lead me to Ashton's room to dump my bags before she took me to the venue where the boys were playing an acoustic gig.

Emma lead me inside and the first person we ran into was Luke.

"Ali" he cheered picking me up in a hug, "What are you doing here?"

"Surprising my husband duh" I laughed, as Calum and Michael appeared to see what the fuss was.

"So where is he?" I asked after Michael finished bear hugging me.

"He's just backstage finishing off his own interview" Calum said, "He should be done now"

I nodded and headed backstage with the directions Luke had given me as to what room Ashton was in.

I reached the right room and opened up the door, a smile already on my face at the thoughts of Ashton.

"Hey bab-" but I stopped myself and my smile faded at the sight.

Ashton's arms were around the interviewers waist and his hand was sliding up her thigh under her skirt, her lips were attached to his neck and arms locked behind his head, hands running through his curls.

"Ali" Ashton said eyes wide. He pushed the women off her as my blood boiled under my skin.

"It's not what it looks like" he pleaded.

"Really? Because it looks super suspicious to me" I snapped.

"Ali please" he said making his way to me.

"No! Fuck off Ashton" I said storming away towards the stage and main hall. Calum stopped tuning his bass when he heard the commotion.

"No, Ali please let me explain please" he pleaded.

"What's to explain Ashton? It's not like this is real anyways. So why would I care that you want to fuck that cheep tramp in there?" I said, my voice as cold as ice.

"What? No...But you said...?" Ashton stammered moving closer to me.

"People lie Ashton. Get used to it" I snapped and took off running. I didn't stop running, I ran the whole way to the hotel and grabbed my bags and ran more until I found a cheep hotel with a room.

My phone rang constantly but I ignored it all. I ignored everything until I was behind the door of my new hotel and slid down to the floor. I sat there and wrapped my arms around my knees and before I knew it the sobs took over.

I sobbed my heart out on the floor.

I thought he loved me?

Did he ever care about me at all? Or was my statement true, people lie?
