Ashton? Where did he go? He wouldn't just leave me...would he? I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. I did so and looked at the reflection in the mirror. I looked tired. There was a loud crash coming from the room. Oh no. What if my dad found me? No. I can't go back! I look under the sink and all I found was a plunger. Great. I took the stick part and broke it with my foot. I slowly opened the bathroom door, my heart beating a hundred miles an hour. I saw a dark figure over by the bed. There he is. I quickly swung and hit them on the head with the stick.

"Owwwww." I heard him groan. I was expecting my dad's voice, but it wasn't. I quickly flipped on the lamp and saw it was Ashton. Oh my god. Oh god. I looked and he was bleeding a little from his head.

"Oh my god, Ashton I'm so sorry." I helped him up and into the bathroom.

"It's okay, sugar face." He slurred and chuckled a little bit. He slung all his weight on me as we barely made it to the bathroom. Great. I now have an injured drunk on my hands. I went and looked in the mirror cabinet and found a first aid kit. I looked through it and got out all the materials I needed. I got closer to him and I could smell the alcohol breath. I began to patch up his head, once again playing nurse with Ashton.

"Your really pretty. You know that right?" He slurred some more and smiled like an idiot. I laughed a little at his drunken state. I finished up and left the kit on the counter. Me and him walked over to the bed and I got him settled onto the bed. I completely forgot about every thing that happened before. I just wanted to help him, and be there for him like he has been for me. He didn't have to stay with me. Didn't have to save me.

"Dani?" He spoke softly. I looked over at him. His eyes were filled with..compassion?

"Yes?"

"Do you like me? Like... like me?" I chuckled at how much of a 3rd grader he sounded.

"Sure, buddy." I smiled and kissed his forehead.

"Goodnight." It's funny how much of a little kid he was. Ashton has a adorable side to him. Aww. I fell asleep quickly with Ashton by my side.

Hey!
Ok so I'm very very berry sorry. I know I haven't really been here to update and I realize I say this a lot but I truly am sorry.

I know, I know. But it's ok. Some of you don't even want to read it because it's not finished. Reading completed stories is better and I understand that. Angeldots knows what I mean. lolz.

Anyway

I have been working on one of my huge projects and honestly, another reason I haven't updated is because I am not really sure where I am going with this story. Like I have a general idea but you know it's developing.

Oh and also I went through all the chapters and made MANY corrections. I was kinda disappointed I made that many mistakes. I also changed a few sentences to make them flow better, so hope you enjoy that.

I love you guys soo much!
Bye!
