Black Mail ☯ Ashton Irwin

Chapter 13; Everything's Changed Now

"Ashton?"

They stopped kissing and looked at me. I stared right into Ashton's eyes and they were full of regret. I felt tears running down my face, as well as my make up.

"Ashley I-"

"No, it's okay Ash. Thank you for the 2 minutes of being my boyfriend. I'll make sure to never let it happen again," I spat, running back to the covered courts. I was still crying and my make up was ruined, but I didn't care. Ashton broke my heart and I can't feel anything.

"Ashley?" I heard Luke say beside me.

"H-hi Luke." I tried to say, but the tears wouldn't stop running down my face.

"Ashley what happened?"

"It's Ash. I saw him making out with Tiffany," I cried. Luke looked concerned as always.

"Hey, hey. It's okay I'll make sure that he'll never hurt you again." Luke said as he gently rubbed my back to comfort me.

"Thanks Luke," I replied, causing Luke to pick me up bridal style to his car. He let me sit down in the front seat.

"Luke the only thing broken here is my heart, not my ability to walk." I laughed.

"I don't care. You deserve to be treated like a princess," He smiled at me, making me feel better. I told him to drop me off at my house, but he insisted that I should spend the night at his place. I said yes, since my mom is in a business trip.

We finally got to his house and he picked me up bridal style - again - making me laugh. I wrapped my arms around his neck to prevent me from falling as he brought me to his room.

I sat down on Luke's bed, watching him look for something.

"What're you looking for?" I asked curiously.

"Just some clothes for you to wear. Wouldn't want you staying in that itchy dress now would we?" He replied, making me giggle. I nodded as he threw one of his shirts and jogging pants. I put on the clothes and jumped onto his bed.

"Goodnight lukey," I said as Luke laid down beside me.

"Goodnight Ashley," He replied, making me smile a little. Luke must've thought I was sleeping when he whispered something in my ear, but I wasn't. I heard him perfectly.

"I won't let another sole hurt your pretty little face. I love you, Ashley. I never stopped loving you."

• New years day •

Me, Erica and Luke arrived at Calum's house - where we're spending new year's - and everyone was there already. All of our parents are here too. A few days ago (christmas) Ashton wrote me a song called Everything I Didn't Say and it was beautiful. I didn't forgive him; what he did was unforgivable.

Luke got me a Channing Tatum poster and a signed 1975 album, I loved him even more for that. Michael got me a pizza sweater - he knew me so well - Calum got me a Clueless shirt from Forever 21 and Erica got me a starbucks planner. James was still in his trip, so he said he'll give out presents when he gets back.

It was about 11:40, 20 more minutes until new years. Ashton was awkwardly sitting in the corner of the room, using his phone. I bet he's texting Tiffany. I couldn't help but feel jealous. Luke saw that I was staring at Ashton so he tightened his grip around my waist and smiled at me.

"Hey Luke, can I borrow Ashley for a bit?" I head Michael say behind me.

"Oh sure. She's all yours," Luke said, pushing me to Michael. Mikey led me to a small room upstairs.

"So why did you borrow me?" I asked as I raised one eyebrow.

"Okay I just need you to listen," He started.

"Ashton's my best friend and you kinda broke his heart. He-"

"I broke his heart? Are you fxcking serious? He's the one who asked me to be his girlfriend, and then 2 minutes later cheat on me! Our relationship clearly didn't mean anything to him," I spat, annoyed by Michael's words.

"Your relationship meant everything to him! When Ash said he was gonna get something from the car, he was supposed to get The 1975 concert tickets. He was supposed to bring you to their concert! But then Tiffany came and pretended to be you, so Ashton made out with her!" Michael finished, making me feel guilty.

"I- I never gave him a chance to explain," I said as tears started to roll down my face.

"Ashley, it's okay. I know Ash will forgive you." Mikey replied, smiling at me. I nodded as I went downstairs. There were still tears rolling down my face, I still felt guilty.

Ashton must've saw my tears cause he's starting to walk over to me, until Luke pushed him away and said, "Don't you dare go anywhere near her. You're just gonna break her heart again," Luke spat, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I turned around and saw Ash there, frozen.

"Luke I think he deserves a seconds chance," I told him as he laughed at me.

"A second chance?! Ashley I'm the one who picked you up when he put you down. If anything, I deserve to have a second chance. I deserve to be loved by you," Luke finished. I could see the pain in his eyes and I just can't take it anymore.

"Sorry Luke." I said to him, walking over to Ashton. I checked the clock and is was 11:58, just enough time to talk to him.

"Ash," I breathed out. He looked back at me.

"Ash I'm so sorry I didn't give you a chance to explain I-"

"It's fine Ashley, I forgive you," He paused, cutting me off.

"But everything's changed now." Ashton finished. I could feel my heart breaking by his words. What does he mean? Is he with someone else? I don't get it.

I walked over to Luke and as he saw me his face dropped.

"Oh what now, Ashley? Little Ashton broke your heart again? Well guess what, I'm not gonna fix your heart. So go and find someone else to help your ugly soul," Luke finished, and I can already feel the tears running down my face.

All of the people I love, are shutting me out. I need this to stop. I ran over to Calum's bathroom, praying he had them. My arm stretched over to his cabinet and I finally saw them. I could hear everyone counting down without me, but I didn't care. They didn't care.

I took a handful of pain killers and threw them into my mouth.

"3!

2!

1!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Everything went black.
