Forbidden Love (Teacher/Student) · h.s *EDITING*

Chapter 40

Sorry but the picture had to be^^ I haven't laughed that hard in ages!

...

I woke up with aches and pains shooting through my body, apparently I fell asleep whilst crying on the floor in front of my door, and that brought me back to the happenings of last night. I really hope Ashton is okay.

"Carly?" I heard a whisper from the other side of the piece of wood.

"Yes..." I replied, pulling myself up from the floor and wiping my hair away from my face.

The door creaked open slightly, showing some form of light in the dim room. A darkened figure came through the light. I couldn't make out who it was until the messy curls came into view.

"You alright? I didn't want to intrude last night because I knew I would make more of a mess" He closes the door behind him and began to open the blinds. "Merry Christmas babe, its a new day so lets make the most of things!"

"I don't think I can, its my fault" I look down at my shaking hands.

"No you didn't, it was a negative relationship and he even admitted it! Don't blame it on yourself Carly" He placed me on the bed, grabbing my hands to soothe my worries.

I couldn't help but nod to his kind words, but I still felt ashamed of the events that kept replaying through my mind. I needed to see him.

"Where is Ashton?"

"I-in his car I think" He stuttered, running his hands through his hair.

With his words I ran out of the room to downstairs and out the door to where his car was parked, luckily he was still asleep on the back seat. I opened the door and he woke up his face slightly confused.

"Carly, I'm leaving don't worry!" He held his hands up in defence.

"No, I want to say sorry and that yes I want to break up with you... But I still want to be best friends?" I blurted out, causing him to smile.

"I kind of felt the same way lately, I know how you feel" He looked like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders, and mine too.

"Want to come in for Christmas then?" I invited, even though we aren't together I don't want him to be alone and with a hangover in his car for Christmas.

"Are you sure? I mea-"

"Yes, I'm sure! Come on" I stated, pulling him out of the car.

...

"Merry Christmas everyone!" Everyone shouted at one another. We had now all gathered in the living room beside the tree, and began to open our presents. I had changed into high-waisted black skinny jeans and a black loose top that had cuts through the shoulders that showed some skin, and my make up was quite neutral with a gold eye shadow smokey eye, which Gabs taught me to do ages ago, with a my nude lipstick from MAC that I'm obsessed with.

"You can go first if you want love?" Anne encourage me, I started to pick my way through the presents under the enormous tree for a tag with my name on it.

"To Carly, love from Mum and Dad" I called out, smiling at them both.

I ripped the corner of the paper, and kept going until all of the foil wrapping paper was a mess on the floor.

A Pandora box.

I had never received any Pandora items, all the girls at school had a ring or charm bracelet from that brand, and I was going to be apart of that trend. I opened the box slowly to reveal a silver bracelet with a single charm.
