Mr.Irwin [SLOW UPDATES]

twenty three ≫ rose

As I make my way down the hallway, to the bathroom, I feel someone pull on my arm and into one of the empty hallways.

Well, all of them are empty.

"Ow" I wince and rub my arm once the unknown person lets go of me, and I look up.

"I'm sorry" Ashton apologizes with his cute accent "Are you okay?" He asks with concern laced in his voice.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine" I reassure him and he waits a moment before nodding.

Why did he pull me into this hallway?

"Did you finish your History assignment?" He asks me, titling his head adorably to the side, that's all he wanted to ask me?

"Nope" My voice coming out more as a breath than an actual sentence because he's really close. I try taking a step back but his hands are on my hips, holding me in place.

His hands feel cold and it feels relaxing, he squeezes slightly causing me to squirm.

He pulls me a bit closer, knowing that I had finally noticed and I hate admitting it, but I kinda like it.

My ears begin to heat up and it's a weird thing that happens when I'm nervous.

They feel extremely hot and I try touching them with my hands to cool them down and Ashton is smiling at me.

"Your cute when your nervous" He lowers my hands and places his hands back onto my waist.

"I'm not nervous" I look down, shaking my head as my cheeks start burning up slightly too.

"Are you sure?" His hot breath whistling against my ear, burning it up even more.

I nod my head slowly, and my heart is beating quickly, I don't even get why.

Why I'm nervous, or feeling the temperature rise, or why my heart is beating so fast.

His hands slide down my side, sending chills through me and his finger tips lightly cascading my sides.

"I've gotta go" He chirps before smirking and walking away.

I'm left dazed and confused and I take a deep breath, fixing my dark blue jumper before walking away.

What just happened? I question to myself as I make my way back to class.

I sit alone at lunch, until Cole and Aria decide to sit at the same table I am sat at.

I quickly grab my bag, ready to leave "Still mad that your boyfriend chose me over you?" Aria's voice stops me before I leave the table.

"What?" I turn my head "You've been a real bitch lately" Aria continues "Your the bitch, you probably had sex with your best friends boyfriend"

"Well, ex boyfriend now and ex best friend too" I glare at Cole and Aria rolls her eyes, they don't have anything to say, so I just leave the cafeteria.

I walk back into the cafeteria, grab my cookies and walk back out.

I can't believe what Aria said, of course I am upset that she did stuff with my boyfriend at that time, but I thought she would handle it a different way.

I can't survive this school without Megan, and I decide to text her to see where she is.

After a few minutes, I call her because it says she's read my message but she hadn't replied.

I bring my phone up to my ear as I lean against the lockers, and I wait a few seconds until my call is declined.

I sigh and dial her phone number again, hoping she picks up this time, and when she does, I don't hear anything but sobbing.

"Hello?" I say into my phone, worry laced in my voice "Megan?" I try to get her to speak "Co-come over" She manages to choke out and I nod even though she can't see me.

I hang up and quickly swing my bag over my shoulder, making my way to the front of the school and to the parking lot.

I don't bother knocking on her bedroom door, and I just walk straight in.

She is clutching her stomach, tears running down her cheeks as she lays on her bed.

I make my way to her side, sitting beside her "It's okay, don't cry" I try soothing her by giving her a hug.

I have no idea why she's crying, but I just need her to explain so I can help her.

She is just a blubbering mess as she hugs me back, tears landing on my shirt and I rub circles on her back and she begins to calm down slowly.

After a few minutes, she's only sniffling and I wipe the tear stains off of her cheek.

"What's wrong?" I ask her as we both sit cross legged on her bed, and I stare at her as she plays with her fingers.

"Promise me, you won't freak out or anything" She sniffs, rubbing her hand under her nose.

I nod "I promise"

"Okay, so, at the party, Calum got me drunk and we were both, beyond wasted, and we were getting really....close"

I have a feeling I know where this is going...

"One thing led to another and we ended up going upstairs and" she stops her sentence "and um" she pauses again to sniff.

"I'm pregnant" I almost gasp but I don't wanna make her feel bad about it. Because was you an tell, she already does.

"Does Calum know?" I ask softly and she shakes her head "Does he know you guys had sex?" I ask another question "Probably" She shrugs.

I give her hug "We'll figure it out" I whisper to her "But we have to tell Calum, okay?"

"Not yet, though" Meg pleads "Okay, Meg, but we have to do it soon because he's a good guy and he deserves to know, he might even help you"

"Maybe" her voice weak and fragile "Don't worry, Calum won't leave you to do this alone"

"But what about my parents, they'll kick me out and what will my brother think of me" She looks as if she's on the verge of tears.

"Don't cry, please, they will understand" I am actually not sure if her parents will take it so well, they are pretty strict but I have to hope for the best.

"Get some rest, and I'll come by tomorrow, alright?" I tell her "Okay, bye Rose"

"Bye, Love you" I wave and send her a small smile before grabbing my bag and making my way towards the door.

"Rose" She calls out quietly, from behind me "Yeah?" I turn my head as I hold on to the door knob "Thank you" She pulls a smile onto her face, but I can still see the disappointment in herself in her eyes.

"No need to thank me, this is one of the things best friends are for" I state, before walking out of her room and taking a deep breath.
