Song[s]: Afraid By: The Neighbourhood

"Honey! Are you in there?" Mom knocked on the door. Making me wake up, I was about to get up before I felt something hold me back. Quickly I pulled off the covers and saw Ashton's arm wrapped around my waist.

"Sweety?" Mom continued to knock on the door. I peeled Ashton's arm off my waist and pushed him off my bed , he landed with a thud. Ashton groaned, and I quickly I got off the bed.

"Are you okay?" My mom asked with worry.

"Yeah I'll be there in a second." I scram. I walked over to Ashton whispered a sorry and rolled him under the bed. I ran to the door and opened it to meet my mothers concerned face.

"What was all that noise?" She asked stepping into my room and looking around. I let out a small breath and looked at her.

"I just fell off bed." I tried to lie. She looked at me for a while before walking to the door.

"Breakfast is ready." she said before she walked out. I closed the door and sighed in relief. Isaac crawled out from under the bed and glared at me.

"I came over to help you and this is how you repay me?" He asked raising an eyebrow at me.

"I'm sorry my mom would give me a whole lecture on safe sex if she found a guy in my room." I explained he laughed.

"Okay well you better leave before she comes back up here. " I said pushing him towards the window.

"Wait don't I get a kiss?" He smirked. my breath hitched in my throat I looked at him not being able to say nor move. that was until he chuckled, I glared at him

"No get the hell out of my room."

"Fine, fucking virgin." he said though gritted teeth, shoving me out of the way. A small gasp left my lips as I looked out the window to see him already walking out from my
Room.

How the hell did he know, that freaking asshole.I shook it off and walk downstairs to the kitchen to meet my mom and a stack of pancakes.

I sat down across from her and poured some syrup over my pancakes. we sat in silence as we ate our pancakes.

"Can I go out later?" I looked up at my mom.

"Uhh I guess." she said I smiled and hugged her.

"Thanks mom." I kissed her and ran up to my room. I wanted to go out because I felt like I needed fresh air and to also think about what I should do about Carson.

I went into my bathroom and took a shower with freezing cold water After I finished I walked out and changed into my under clothes, slipped on a black sundress and a jean jacket. I put on some random shoes, braided my hair, grabbed my phone and left.

...

I got out of my car and walked towards the familiar river, I sat on a rock along the river bed. I sighed as I watched the water stream slowly, it was so peaceful I really needed to clear my head.

It was so quiet Icould hear her own heart beat. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I felt someone sit beside me, I opened my eyes and turned around to see Ashton.

I didn't say anything, I turned around and faced the water. We both sat in silence.

"I'm sorry for the way I acted." Ashton finally spoke. I ignored him and continued looking foward.

"What the hell do you want me to do ?" He began to raise his voice, he quickly stood up and began pacing back and forth. I continued to ignore him still angry for a the things he had said.

"You know what if you're not going to talk to me that's fine!" He began to walk away.

"I want to know what is wrong with you. Not some fucking metaphor I want to know the truth." I said standing up and looking at him.He stopped, and stood for a while before turning around and walking towards me.

He stood in front of me so close I could feel his warm breath against my face. In a matter of seconds his lips were against mine. I stood shocked not knowing what to do.

I pushed him away, and slapped him, leaving my hand with a stinging sensation and a red hand mark on his cheek.

"Are you bi-polar or something !" I scram at him. He stared at me with his dark intense eyes that made me want to hide under my covers.

I gulped and looked up at him. He gripped my wrist roughly making me wince. "So what if I was?"

I began to loose feeling of my hand because of how hard he was holding my wrist.

"You're hurting me!" I tried to pull my wrist away but couldnt. he sighed and let my wrist go.

My wrist was red and sore . Ashton noticed and his eyes widened. I stepped away from him.

"Juno I'm so so-." I cut him off.

"Just get away from me!" I said backing away.

"Just let me explain." he spoke walking towards me.

"There's nothing to explain." I spoke through gritted teeth.

"Please, just listen to me." he begged.

"Okay, but I swear if some metaphor shit comes out of your mouth I will leave." I said seriously looking at him.

"Yes, I have a bipolar disorder." he spoked silently. I didn't say anything, because I didn't know what to say I just stood looking at him.

Without a word I wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head on his chest. I felt him pull me in closer. I hid my face in his chest and took a deep breath.

I felt safe and happy whenever I was with Ashton and I don't even know why. I barely know him, but it feels like we've known each other since we were kids.

"Want to go to my house to hang out?" I mumbled against his chest.

" Do I have to sneak in again?" He asked looking down at me. I smiled slightly, and shrugged.

"You'll know when we get there."
