My Kitten // Lashton

Chapter 9

The next few days were pretty univentful. The only thing that I really disliked about them, was that Ashton had suddenly stopped kissing me. I know I shouldn't be making such a big deal about it, because its not like we're dating or anything, but he almost treats me like it never happened. One day we're acting like a couple and then next suddenly were not.

Of course it could mean anything, I'm not all to familiar with emotions but I just–

I didn't know what had happened between us. Maybe he realized I'm a piece of crap.

I saw someone from my high school yesteday. I was at the mall with Ashton and we ran into each other. He said that I had grown and changed a lot since the last time he saw me. We talked for a few minutes before he had to leave. I didn't remember what his name was, but I recognized him.

Michael and Calum were over at the house right now while Ashton is work. They've been here for a few hours and all we've been doing is cooking, watching movies, and playing video games.

It's been nice having them around. Not as nice as it could be with Ashton, but the comfort was nice.

I learned that Michael really likes kittens, and he says that he really loves my kitten side. It makes me happy that there are people in this world that never judged other people, and that I was friends with three of them.

The two now know about my crush after we had all talked about it today. They told me that they wouldn't be surprised if Ashton liked me back because and I quote "He basically looks at you with heart eyes."

I don't know what that means. You can't look at someone with hearts as your eyes, like in the movies can you? Calum said it was just a metaphor.

Once they had left, I didnt know what to do. I wanted to go for a walk, but I already knew Ashton wouldn't approve of me doing that alone. At least he cared about my safety and well-being.

So until then I sat on the couch and watched tv. Until the bell on the door rang. I groaned because I really didnt feel like getting up. But instead of just listening to the door bell ring, I stood up and slowly walked to the door. I sighed and tucked my tail away before opening the door.

"Hello-" 

I was cut off by the feeling of someones fist colliding with my cheek. I hissed in pain and stumbled back. I looked up and didn't recognize the person standing in the door way. I whimpered a little as the man stepped closer, and I took several steps back. 

"W-who are you?" I asked in a shaky voice.

The man snickered, "You dont remember me Lukey?" I shook my head frantically. "Oh but Luke, i'm the one who gave you the cat ears and the cat tail."

I sniffled and held my cheek. "I-I dont know what youre talking about." The man hummed quickly reached forward and tore off the beanie I was wearing. 

My cheek was burning in pain and the smile that spread across his face, scared me half to death. I swallowed and took another step back, out of his reach. He only stepped forward and before I knew it he was grabbing me by the hair and slapping his hand over my mouth.

I was shaking mess, not knowing what to do. I squirmed as he leaned down and whispered in my ear as I felt something nudge against my back. 

"If you scream, i'll shoot you." That when I realized it was a gun. I whimpered again and nodded my head in understandment. 

He slowly moved his hand from my mouth and then shoved me forward. Not wanting to get even more hurt, I moved forward. Nobody seemed to notice the distress in my eyes ass we walked up to an old run down car.

I wanted to scream for Ashton, I wanted him–someone to save me.

He opened the door and shoved me into the back. Another man was in the car, and he reached around and put duct tape over my mouth. As they started the car, I noticed Ashton get out of his car, and I knew it might have been my only chance to get out of this so I did the first thing I could think of. 

I started banging on the window, and tried screaming Ashton's name, but because of the duct tape it came out mumbled. Tears started building up in my eyes as the car started moving farward. I kept banging on the window and looked back at the two men. I sobbed and turned my head back only to see Ashton gone now, and the car slammed to a stop.

My body flew back and hit the seat infront of me. 

Then my vision went black.

Shit just got real man, but don't worry there's not much drama after this.
