*This is Georgia's POV of the last two chapters*

Me, Luke and the boys thought it would be a good idea to go out as Faatimah was preoccupied. We knew leaving her was a risk but life isn't worth living without risks, we close the front door quietly and drive to the beach, which was only 10 minutes away. The sun was slowly setting leaving a nice red/yellow gradient colour that helped calm us all. The ocean was cold and Ashton threw me in after stripping me into my bikini, I know Ash and me are just friends however I can't help but feel like there is something more. It's hard letting Ashton know my feelings because people before, those girls who just bitch about you or those boys who show interest and then leave you because I showed the true me, it's hard not being accepted as a person but life goes on and I need to let it go.

I look over to see Luke staring at his phone: I know he is worried about Faatimah and surprisingly I kind of forgot about her. I walk towards him and he looks up with a small smile and his forehead creased with worry, "She is ok Luke, just stop worrying and enjoy your time."
Before Luke can reply, Ashton grabs my hand and pulls me towards the ocean so I walk willingly.

-------

A few hours later, we're sat down talking and having a couple of drinks except Luke since he is designated driver for the night. I'm laughing along when Luke says we need to go back because someone saw Ryder - Faatimah's Ex- go to the apartment.
I know we're not all saints but Ryder is just the devil himself. We quickly rush home to find the door a little bit open and Ryder sat down with Faatimah.

------/

Time passed and we finally got Ryder to leave but so did we, Faatimah ran off when Luke asked her the stupid question so we thought we better go. I couldn't go back and face her- it would just be awkward, too awkward. I hate leaving her and being a coward but she isn't the only one with problems. I need to go home but I daren't, my dad is getting more and more abusive equalling with me getting bruised, which then gets Ashton questioning. I turn to Ash as I walk out the front door and ask if I can stay at his and thankfully he replies with a happy yes. I smile and grab his hand pulling him to his car.

We go to his house and instantly start kissing but I stop as soon as he touches my bruised arms, "Ouch," I exclaim while rubbing my arms, Ashton’s face morphed into anger and demanded I show him my arms.... so I do.
I pull up my sleeves and show him the bruises which were getting a darker purple, Ashton kisses each bruise and says, " I'm always here baby, you can trust me," but soon after he finishes his speech I feel a tear roll down my cheek however before anything else happens my back pocket starts vibrating interrupting the moment, I fish out my phone and see it's Calum calling, so I answer giving Ashton an apologetic look- "Hello?"
"Faatimah is in trouble, I got her to the hospital in time but I think she overdosed," he quickly rushes out resulting in a huff of breath.

Damn, it's happening again but before I do anything a text message comes through.... from Faatimah.
