"Just shut up Ashton you're driving me mad!" You yelled at him from the opposite side of the kitchen island.
"No! You need to listen to something for once in your life!"
"Are you saying I never listen?" Your eyes widened in outrage as the pure bullshit spilling from his mouth. "I listen to your god damn whining all the time no matter what time of the day it is, I am always there for you." You slammed your hand down onto the island in anger. Ashton moved around from the opposite side where he was stood so that he was now stood in front of you, looking at you face on.
"No you don't listen whenever the we're talking about something serious! You kissed another guy! I'm not about to let this go and not say anything." He spewed, his chest heaving heavily as he breathed, attempting to maintain his cool.
You rolled your eyes exaggeratedly at him. "I was drunk and it was a game! Its not my fault you're so bloody insecure." You remarked and watched as he became slightly crestfallen.
"Why are you being such a bitch Y/N? Can't you just apologise?" His eyes were large and full of tension.
"Why can't you just trust me?" You put emphasis on the word trust, hoping it might get through to him.
"Trust is earned Y/N." He frowned, crossing his arms across his chest. "Kissing another guy doesn't prove you're trustworthy." You were now at the point in the argument where you wanted to say something purely to hurt him and the one thing he always hated talking about was his ex Bryana.
"You're so insecure and jealous about every tiny little thing. I don't blame Bryana for leaving you." You said venomously and it happened so fast. His hand flew up and briskly collided with your cheek, his open palm causing a loud slap and an immediate sting burning up onto your face. You withdrew quickly, clutching your hand to your cheek as the burning pain intensified and from the corner of your eye you saw Ashton pull away, his mouth gaping open.
"Y/N oh m- god I'm.. " he began stuttering at you. Your hands were still tightly holding onto your cheek which felt slightly numb, you ran to the mirror in the hall to look at your face and were shocked to see a large red mark etched on your skin. Ashton appeared behind you, his devastated face glaring at you in the reflection. "Baby... I am so sorry." He sniffed, trying to hold back tears.
"You don't get to call me baby. I want you to leave Ash." You whispered, you couldn't possibly face him right now.
"Baby please, I love you." He choked back.
"I can't do this now Ashton. Please leave. I need time." He dropped his head to the ground, allowing a tear to roll down his nose and hit the floor before slowly walking out of the door, giving you one final look of desperation before shutting the door.
------
First of all, I have a lot of love for Bryana so don't start shit about her. She's a lovely person and her and Ash are adorable together.
Second of all, domestic violence isn't something to be taken lightly, it is never okay for your boyfriend/girlfriend to hit you no matter what the circumstances and it isn't something you should feel afraid to talk about, if its ever happened or is happening to you please know there are so many people who will support you and help you through including me.
