One Thing (One Direction) [On Hold]

Chapter Nine

 “This is start of something beautiful

This is start of something new

You are the one who'd make me loose it all

You are the start of something new” - This, Ed Sheeran

Ashtyn

“Time to go” whispers someone in my ear. Amazingly, I'm coherent enough to answer her.

“I'm not going today” I say. My eyes are still closed.

“Yes you are, love” says Miles.

“No I'm not” I reply. “And that's final.” And then I roll over.

“No, no, no” says Ally. “Get up.”

“No, no, no” I reply. And then someone yanks me out of bed by my feet. Literally. I just barely manage to stop my head from hitting the floor. “MILES!” I roar.

“Run” Ally says, probably to Miles. I stand up.

“He's going to die” I say softly.

“We are going to class now” Ally says. “Can you wait until afterwards to kill him?” I sigh dramatically.

“Fine” I say. “If I can make it extra painful.”

-

After class, Ally won't let me kill Miles. Which is awful, because she promised. “Please?” I beg. She smiles, and falls onto the couch.

“No” she says.

“What's to stop me from leaping at him right now?” I ask, partially to myself. Miles inches towards the door.

“Nothing, I suppose” Ally says. We're back at my flat. Again, they won't lave me alone. Honestly, they should just move in. I fall onto the couch next to Ally.

“You're lucky I'm so tired” I tell Miles. The press is still outside the building, and fighting my way through them each time I want to leave can get a bit difficult. And exhausting.

“Wow” Miles says. “What's wrong with the world?”

“Put in Harry Potter two and bring me ice cream” I say. Miles grins.

“There's the old Ashtyn” he says.

“Why do you want her back?” asks Ally. I hit her lightly on the arm.

“Love you too” I say sarcastically.

“Ice cream?” she asks.

“Harry Potter first” I say. She sighs, but still, she puts in the DVD. “Preview!” I shout. She skips ahead, and I just catch her rolling her eyes at me. My mobile rings. From the kitchen table. Next to Miles. Oops.

“Hello?” answers Miles. “Oh, yeah, this is her phone. Me? I'm her best friend in the whole world . . .”

“Miles!” I shout, leaping at him. “Give me the damn phone!” He puts a hand over the phone.

“It's for you” he whispers.

“No, really?” I ask. He hands me the phone. “Pause the movie!” I shout at Ally. “Hello?” I say into the phone.

“What are you watching?” asks the male voice on the other end.

“Harry Potter two, who are you?” I ask.

“Tom Riddle” he answers. “I'm here to posses you.”

“Oh” I reply. “Brilliant!”

“Don't you have caller I.D?” he asks.
