It Started With A Dare

~11~

Alania's P.O.V

I rolled over to check my phone to look at the time. 3:26 a.m. When I'm in my moods, I tend to sleep the rest of the day away.

I tried to get up from my bed but was quickly taken a-back when dizziness took over my body.

I flopped back down on my bed and layed their for a few seconds. My phone has no notifications, maybe no one wanted to bother me?

Once I realized my phone was on dnd and turned it off, things changed quickly.

23 calls from Di.
3 texts from X.
176 calls and texts from Ashton.

I was surprised to see so many texts and calls from Ashton. I would expect Di to call me the most, but she knows how I get when I want to be alone.

I realized what happened at lunch wasn't Ashton fault. I guess I'm just too insecure to realize that there's going to be other girls that like him. Stupid girls.

I place my phone down without looking at any of the messages or calls Ashton left. I didn't want to stress myself out too much because I would have to wake up in three more hours and I really dont need the headache right now.

Ashton's P.O.V

I didn't do anything, that's why she's mad at me. It's not like I could've done anything anyways. she basically forced me to kiss her.

I called Lani one more time before giving up and calling X.

It rung for a few seconds, but he eventually answered sounding concerned.

"Did she answer yet?"

"Nope, not yet. I think she might be sleep."

He laughed a little into the phone before picking up his keys and hanging up.

Well I guess he has better things to do, rather than helping me with my problems.

After pacing back and forth for a while I heard a knock on my front door. I would be stupid to answer the door at this time of night so I ignored it and went back to my thoughts.

"Yo its X, open up!" I heard him say while banging on the front door.

I ran down the steps and opened the door.

"Get ready, fix whatever this is," he said while gesturing to my cholths, "And put your shoes on."

"How about a, "I'm sorry for coming here at this hour, I've just been on drugs because that's the only thing that would make sense for me comin this late!" I said while watching him walk in.

He sat down on the couch in the middle of the room and looked at me.

"How much do you care about Lani?"

I sat next to him and looked down. I do care about her, a lot actually. I always cared about her even though we only reconnected for a couple of days.

It's just the thought of losing her when I just got her back, hurts.

"Alot." is all I could say with my thoughts all over the place.

"Good, now go get ready."

"You still haven't told me where were going." I said while getting up and looking at the time.

"Where could you possibly want to go at 4:00 in the morning?"

"Oh. Lani is going to talk to you one way or another." he said while smirking and swinging his keys around his index finger.

I laughed a little until the thought of her brother crept into my mind.

"Theirs no way Carlos is going to let us in at this time."

"Who said anything about him knowing." he said while putting his hands behind his head.

I dont like where this is going.

Alania's P.O.V

I cant sleep.

Maybe taking a tiny look at Ashton's messages wouldn't hurt. No.

Everything revolving Ashton hurts me. Even thinking about him makes my brain hurt.

I picked up my phone and the screen automatically turned on. 4:27 a.m.

I shouldn't be up at this time, and definitely not because of Ashton.

All I can think about is this weekend. It was so perfect and now whatever relationship I had with him is completely gone; over. Even if part of it was fake..

I tossed and turned in my bed until finally my eyes became heavy. I signed with satisfaction due to the fact that my body wouldn't let me sleep for a minute now.

As soon as I closed my eyes for what felt like 2 seconds, I heard a noise at my window. I got from under my covers and rolled out of bed to check it out.

The noise continued as I walked over to my window and then I started to hear voices.

"Lani wake the fuck up!"

I opened up my window to find Ashton and X standing on my lawn.

"Ashton I dont have time for this. Do you have any idea what time it is right now?" I asked while rubbing my eyes.

"Do you have any idea how many times I called and texted you? What did you want for me to do?"

I was about to respond but X cut me off.

"Come on Lani, hes been worried ever since you ran out the lunch room. Just talk to him. If you decide you want no part of him after that, then at least he can say he tried."

I thought about it for a minute before shutting my window close and locking it. I know Ashton didn't do anything wrong, so treating him like this does nothing.

Were also not dating so why am I even mad? Oh, and I guess X had a point. Plus it would be fun to listen to him try to explain why some girl kissed him as if I care...anymore at least.

I put on some actual clothes and tip-toed down my steps. The last thing I need right now is Carlos questioning me on where I'm going at 4:00 in the morning.

I took in one last breath before opening my front door to meet Ashton outside. Let's just get this over with.
