Chapter 12

I was sitting there just watching them,it was getting boring.Ashton was busy so I decided to take a walk.Slowly I got up so that Ashton won't notice I was gone and that no one could see me and follow me.I walked up a hill and I walk until I came up on a cliff.There was a big tree there,leaves of red and blue blossoms blowing slightly in the wind.It had a great view of the town.This place was amazing,quiet and seems so peaceful. I had a place like this back home my dad showed it to me one day.

Dad.

I took in a deep breath and let out a powerful scream.It echoed I know I was alone now.Tears started to fall as I continue to scream louder which soon turn into sobs.I was sick of everything,sick of pain.I dig my nails in my skin and drag them up and down.I walked to the end of the cliff,maybe if I jump the pain will go away.When i was dead.I shook my head and sat down under the tree I look at my arms and saw that it was red,bleeding a little too.I sat there thinking about the world and taking in the view.

I smell a familiar cologne and I look up to see a very angry Ashton. He stood over me,arms cross.

"Why did you do that?".he sounded like my mother.

"D-do what?".I ask innocently.

I knew he was talking about why I left and he didn't know.

"Don't act innocent with me you left and didn't tell me,something could have happened to you and I didn't know where you were!".he yelled.

I look down at my hands,getting a little scared now,Ashton was yelling.He must have seen it because he sat down beside me and wrap his arms around me.I started to sob.

"Bobby,I'm sorry I yelled at you,its just I didn't know where you were,I was worried sick because I care about you".

"I'm s-sorry".

"Its okay,you're okay".

We stayed like that for about an hour just sitting there, i closed my eyes.The cooling breeze dancing against our face,Ashton's hands safely around me.I felt protected I think I was falling for him,and fast.

"Ready?".I heard him ask.

I open my eyes to see that the sun was setting.

"Yea".I said,he got up and pulled me up with him,we walk back to the field for our bags and went to his car.We pulled out of school.

"So what are you doing when you reach home"?.he ask

"Nothing".I said not looking at him.

"Want to come to my house?".

"No".

"Oh come on".

"No".

"Why not?".

"Nothing".

"Fine then".

The car went silent,he pulled in my drive way,my grandparent's car was there.They must have gotten off work early today.I turn to Ashton.

"Bye bobby I'll pick you up tomorrow".

I huff."bye".

He chuckled. I walked into the living room and saw my grandparents,I went and sat between them.

"Hey honey,how was school today?".grandma ask.

"It was okay,I'm getting use to it".

"What about your friend?".grandpa ask.

"Oh,its Ashton,Cindy's grandson,he's okay".I shrug.

"Oh I'm glad you have a friend,someone to talk to".she pulled me closer to her and I rested my head on her shoulder.

After dinner,I went up to my room and took a shower,I crawled into bed.I look up at the ceiling and as many things as possible rush through my mind.Ashton's girlfriend, I'm getting better at controlling myself,that place on the hill,Ashton playing football.My eyes close slowly an I drift off to sleep.
