Chapter 6: Stuck With Him

Ashley's POV

"You know, if someone came and told me that in a day I'd be locked in the school with you, and that we'd be having this 'bonding time' together, I would've laughed at his face and would've told him to fuck himself but now, when it actually has happened, I don't really mind it."

"You don't really mind it?" I roll my eyes. "Well sorry but I, myself, didn't plan to get locked up here with you so don't make it sound as if I made you stay and purposely locked us here."

"That's- that's not what I meant." He looks at the ground. "I mean, I'm glad that it's you I'm stuck with, not one of those bitchy, clingy sluts, ya know? And we haven't really been the best of friends..." He muttered the last part.

"Yeah..." I admit.

'Though I kinda wish we were.' I add the last part in my mind.

"So, c'mon, let's get outta here, yeah?" He outstretches his hand.

I put my hand in his and smile, "Yeah! Let's do this shit!"

Hand in hand, we exit the classroom and look around the dark hallway.

"Are you trying to squeeze the life out of my hand, girl?" Blaze chuckles. I look down and see that I had been unconsciously squeezing his hand.

"Sorry." I mutter. "Scared of the dark."

"Don't worry." He reassures me. "I won't let anything happen to you."

We walk down the hallway and take a left when it comes to a dead-end. I clutch his hand tighter when I hear someone say, "Finally decided to come out of your hiding place, huh?" It wasn't really hard to guess who it was.

What the hell is his problem? Can't he leave us alone?

"What the hell is your problem, man?" I say out loud, voicing my thoughts. "Can't you just leave us alone?"

"Of course not." He says in a duh tone as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "At least not until your boyfriend here comes back."

"The fuck you talking about?" I glare at him. Then I realise that he called Blaze my boyfriend. "And he's not my boyfriend."

"Could've fooled me. So he still hasn't told you? Tsk-tsk. What a shame." He shakes his head mockingly. "Let me do the honours, Blaze."

"Shut the fuck up!" Blaze says in a deadly voice, making me flinch.

"So, yeah, Blaze is a part of-" Jared starts but couldn't finish his sentence because Blaze had already lunged at him.

"I said-" Punch. "Shut." Punch. "The." Punch. "Fuck." Punch. "Up." Blaze says in between punches.

I stare in horror at the scene in front of me, my eyes as wide as saucers, tears streaming down my face. I walked forward and grabbed the back of Blaze's shirt, trying to get him away from the unconscious Jared on the floor.

One look at my face and he stopped, he immediately stopped and pulled me into him. "I'm sorry." He rocked me back and forth. "I'm so sorry you had to see that." He whispered. "Let's get out of this place."

He bends down and starts patting Jared's jean pockets, continuing upwards when he didn't find whatever he wanted, but then stops when he couldn't find it anywhere on Jared.
