Ashton's POV

"Shut the fuck up Bryana" I pound my fist on the table, she flinches, then stands up to come slap me.

"Don't you dare talk to me that way Ashy!" She whines, I put my hand over my cheek, then push her away.

"Just go home, go fuck Tom like you always do, you filthy whore!" I scream in her face, she huffs, and grabs her purse, and walks out the door, with her annoying clicking of her 6-inch heels.

"Fucking slut." I mutter under my breath, I go upstairs to my room, locking the door, I tug the roots of my hair in frustration, "Fuck."

I pace back and forth in my room, I stop in front of my computer, seeing a framed picture of me and Mackenzie. I clench my jaw, I grab the photo, and trace my fingers over her face, she looks so happy, then her broken face pops up in my head. I have to admit, I miss her, But I left her for popularity, I don't know why I started hitting her, It just felt right, after her speech she gave me, I felt bad and immediatley regret all those beatings.

When I seen her wearing her bracelet I gave her, I felt happy, but when she seen me playing with my own, she pulled it off her bandaged wrist, I became angry. Especially when I seen her with Luke, for the first time in a year, I heard her small laugh.

I'm soon interrupted by my phone ringing, revealing Calum's contact photo.

"What the fuck do you want?" I speak into the phone, I stare at the picture in my hands.

"Calm down, jeez, We wanted you to come play FIFA with us." He laughs in the background.

"I don't play FIFA, I thought you guys already knew that." I say sternly. I put the photo down,

"Whatever, just come hang out with us." I let out a huff, theres nothing else to do anyways,

"Fine." I hang up, putting my phone in the back pocket of my jeans, I grab one of my bandanas, and wrap it around my head.

I make my way downstairs, seeing my mom walking in with groceries.

"Mom, I'm going to Calum's." I push past her.

"Ashton, I forgot to tell you, We're going to go have dinner at the Hemlock's." I stop in my tracks.

"What? When?" I turn around to face her.

"Next Wednesday." She shoots me a toothy grin, "I haven't seen Diana, in awhile, and you never see Mackenzie anymore." She walks into the kitchen.

"I can't." I shake my head, "I got plans with the guys on Wednesday." I fix my bandana,

"Your coming, whether you like it or not." She says sternly.

"Mo-" I'm cut off by my mom,

"Nope, it's official, you're coming, now shoo!" She waves me away.

I groan, heading out the door, I walk down the sidewalk, seeing an old couple holding hands, sitting down on a bench by the bus stop, I remember making a promise to Mackenzie, that we would grow old together, and fight over the last packet of oatmeal, I slightly chuckle at the memory.

I soon realize that I'm in front of Calum's house, I trudge up the driveway, walking onto the porch, I walk inside, immediatley going to the living room, sure enough the guys are sitting on the couches, legs perched up on the small coffee table, playing FIFA on the xbox, I jump on the black leather couch.

"Sup Cal." I reach for a can of unopened redbull on the coffee table, popping the can open. I look at Michael, who is staring at the wall, zoned out, I notice Luke is looking at him too, I make eye contact with him and furrow my eyebrows.
