#4 He hits you Pt.2

ASHTON:

You woke up. Still curled up on the floor, cheek stinging. You got up and pulled your phone out of your pocket. No new messages or voicemails. You head into the kitchen but as you pass the mirror in the hall you gasp. Your cheek was swollen and bruised. You continue into the kitchen to grab an ice packet and press it to your cheek.

All of a sudden your phone rings, startling you. Not checking the caller ID you pick it up.

"Hello?" You ask.

"Babe. A-are you okay?" You hear Ashton speak over the line. You scowl.

"Why does it matter Ashton." You snap.

"You never call me ASHTON! It's always Ash! Call me Ash babe!" He pleads, voice wavering.

"No. I only called you Ash when you were my boyfriend. And don't call me babe." You snarl.

"I-I-I'm not your boyfriend?" Ashton sobs. You feel your heart break a little.

"Oh sorry! Was there a miss understanding! Did you expect to still be with your ex after you SLAPPED her!" You exclaim.

"But it was only a wee argument. I know you would never cheat, especially with Calum. I'm just insecure." Ashton sobs. "You're just so perfect. I'm just me." Your heart snaps at this and you cave in.

"Come round here and we'll talk in person." You sigh.

"Really?! I'll be round in 5!" Ashton exclaims, sobs subsiding a bit. You hang up the phone and dash upstairs to pull on a fresh set of clothes and to tie your hair up. As you finish you hear the doorbell ring.

"Ashton. It's your house as well. You don't have to ring the door bell." You say as you open the door. His eyes were all swollen and red.

"I didn't want to feel like I was intruding. I am in the wrong." He mutters. He then looks up at you and gasps. Tears rushing back into his eyes making them glassy.

"I did that to you?!" He cries. You nod. "I was the worst boyfriend ever!" He walks to the living room, falling onto the couch crying harder.

"It's okay Ash." You whisper sitting next to him and rubbing his arm.

"A-Ash?" He stutters.

"Yeah. Ash." You confirm.

"I'm so sorry Y/N. I didn't mean to. You know that. I hate seeing you hurt. I was just so insecure. I've never been good enough. My father left because of me. I had to raise my siblings without a dad!" Ashton cries.

"It's okay Ash. You were just caught up in the moment." You say, your eyes welling up as well. Ashton cries harder, obviously needing sympathy now.

"Aw Ash." You coo, pulling him next to you. He buries his head in your neck sobbing.

"Am I forgiven?" He asks.

"Of course Baby." You say.

"I need to see my family now. I stayed with them." Ashton says. "I need to let them know we're still together."

"Looking at how much you cried, I bet they were worried." You state, wiping away Ashton's tears and kissing his lips softly.

"Yeah. Harry was so worried he actually slept in my bed with me as I cried and Lauren would keep hugging me." Ashton said.

"Aw. Harry's so cute! So worried about his brother he slept with him!" You aw. "Let's go see them then!" With that you both leave to Ashton's families place and they're all ecstatic that you're both together.
