Stuck in a Love Triangle (COMPLETED)

Chapter 17

-ASHLEYS POV-

my phone slipped out of my hand and I ran outside, as far away as I could.

but it wasnt far enough, all the boys quickly found me.

 there were no tears, I hate crying.

but I couldnt breathe..

it was like all the walls were closing in on me.

what if he found me, or did something to the boys.

"Ashley? Ashley? are you ok?" Niall asked, leaning my into his chest.

"yeah I'm fine" I said

"hello?" I heard Louis say, I turned around and saw him talking into MY phone.

I stood up to tackle him but I got held back.

there was a pause.

"yeah.....okay.....thanks for calling......I'll tell her...ok...bye Mr. Bale" he said before handing me my phone.

"LOU WHAT THE HELL" I shouted

"whats wrong?!?" he asked.

only Niall knew, and he didnt know how bad my dad was.

Niall just thought my dad was never home, I didnt tell him he abused me.

"he wants to see you" Louis said

"I'll go with you" Niall said trying to comfort me.

"no. I'll go alone. thanks for your concern." I snapped walking away from everyone.

I pulled on a tight jacket, and light washed jeans.

I knew exactly where my dad was and I needed to get this over with so he could leave me alone.

I walked downstairs.

"good bye" I quietly said and waved to everyone.

"are you sure about this?" Niall said.

I nodded and ignored everyone elses comments.

I got in the car and drove around until I pulled into the pub across the street of my house.

I walked in and got a few whistles from old drunk people.

I spotted my dad across the bar chugging bears.

"hi" I mumbled taking a seat next to him, getting weird looks from random people.

"hey sweet cheeks whatcha doing here?" he asked rubbing my hair.

I shooed it off.

"you called me" I said

"where were you last week? the house is A MESS" he shouted slamming his beer on the table, making bubbles splash out.

"yo-you kicked me out" I stuttered, my phone kept vibrating but I ignored it.

"well I'm kicking you back in!!!" he said giving me the worst smile.

"Im living wi-with someone e-else" I said backing out of my seat

"Ashley." he said, his eyes rolling around.

"dad, you need help" I said holding his arm.

"let me help you" I said pulling him off his seat but he quickly shooed it off.

"please dad" I said dragging him out of this place.

he tried pulling away but I wouldnt let him.

he slurred a bunch of bull crap that I couldnt understand.

I actually got him to go to a rehab and once we got there, they promised to call me after every mile stone.

I might actually have a dad this time.

I dropped him off and went back home.

Niall was the first one to greet me at the door asking me a bunch of bogus questions that I ignored walking past everyone.

I went up to my room and changed into a pink and blue tie dye strapless bathing suit.

hopefully the boys were up for some night swimming.

it was practically my favorite thing to do other than eat.

"WHOS READY FOR THE POOL" I shouted, hearing a bunch of yes' before everyone ran upstairs to change.

things were turning good for me.

hopefully my dad would get better.

-NIALLS POV-

I grabbed some random swim trunks and ran downstairs.

I really liked Ashley.

I ran up behind Ashley and wrapped my arms around her tiny waist.

she giggled and I carried her up bridal style, she got the hint that I might throw her in the pool and started squirming and screaming.

I ran up to the pool and threw her in.

I stayed outside making funny faces at her until she grabbed my feet and pulled me in.

we swam around for a while splashing at each other until we saw all the other boys and Eleanor come out.

we swam and played kiddy games until 3 a.m.

everyone got out but I kept Ashley behind.

"Ashley" I whispered and she turned her head so her blue sparkling eyes shined in the moon light.

"I really like you-" I started to say but she cut me off.

"Niall dont get me wrong, I really like you also, but I dont want to rush into anything.."she said holding my face in her hands.

I nodded and gave her a quick peck the nose, causing her to smile.

we went back inside and she went straight upstairs, she hadnt brought up what happened to her dad and I was a bit worried...
