Chapter 43.

*Ashton's POV*

"I'm your sister." She said.

I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion.

"My sister? How?" I asked.

"C-Can we sit down, so I can explain better?" She asked politely. I just nodded and let her inside the house. I made my way to the lounge and sat down on the sofa. Gesturing for her to do the same.

"Is this a joke? What do you mean your my sister?" I asked flatly.

"Look...don't get mad. Okay? Let me finish explaining." She said.

"Go ahead." I mumbled.

"I'm your dad's daughter." She muttered. The hairs on the back of my neck arose.

"You're the daughter he had when he cheated on mum." I spat.

"Yes, but hear me out! Look, I didn't know that! Until about 2 and a half months ago. I didn't know you...existed. I didn't know he walked out on 3 children and a wife. I had no idea. And I had no idea he left you in charge at 10 years old. Until..." she mumbled. My tone softened. She didn't mean to offend me.

"Go on." I mumbled, trying to sound nicer.

"Well, we were at our house back in California." She said, and as she said that, I only noticed then that her accent was quite American. My dad was American. So...he went back to America did he? "And then, your band '5 Seconds of Summer' came on the TV. It was kinda like...presenting you out and explaining who you were and stuff. And then, after they presented those guys L...Luke I think? Michael and...Calum....you came on. I noticed my dad flinch at your name. He watched the TV more closely. He then realised...you were Ashton Irwin...as in, his son Ashton Irwin. And then they showed a picture of you, your mum, Harry and Lauren on TV. He then went up to his room and started tearing things up, for a whole week he was on edge after that, more angry, and muttering things like 'No matter how hard I try' 'I want to forget' and 'Can't stop remembering.' He was acting weird. And I knew it had something to do with that Ashton kid. So, one day I got tired of all his anger and stuff and I asked him. He suddenly broke down into tears and told me. Everything. I got mad at him. I hated parents who did that. I thought that having a parent who did that was absolutely horrific. I stormed out. I felt a sudden hatred towards him then. And ever since then, I came to Australia since I knew you were from here. About a month ago, I was in Adalaide and I saw a concert poster. For none other than '5 Seconds of Summer'. I soon found out your were from Syndey. So I managed to find you." She finished finally.

Wow.

"That's a lot to take in." I mumbled.

"I know, I'm sorry about this." She rambled. "I feel terrible for you. I'm sorry you had to go through that. If I would've known sooner that the man I once trusted, had a past of walking out on a wife and 3 kids, I would've left sooner. And I feel disgusting. Your mum got cheated on, and it caused me to be born. I feel sick."

"Amy, stop." I said. "It's not your fault. You have no reason to feel like this."

Something inside me triggered, I engolfed her in a hug. Something about this girl made me like her, she's so innocent, and she's gone through a lot to try and make this right. She left 'our' dad behind because of what he did to me. And for a young girl, that's a lot. To travel half way across the world. For me.

"What are you gonna do now? Stay in Australia?" I asked her.

"Actually...I have no idea. I didn't really plan further than meeting you. I don't want to go back to America though." She said.

"Stay here, in Australia." I offered.

"W-What?" She asked, raising her face from my shoulder to face me. "Why would you want anything to do with me?"
