Starting Over : Luke Hemmings fanfiction

Chapter 16

Bella's P.O.V

It was after the argument with Ashton and my father. We all went into our bedrooms.

I went to my bed. I laid down and looked at the ceiling. My mind was trying to possess what just happened. It was like when we were kids. He would be mad and try to say things to hurt us.

I would grab Ashton's arm and hide behind him i would be so scared to face my dad. Ashton was always the brave one of the two of us.

But knowing Ashton he couldn't handle him yelling. I also knew he wasn't going down without a fight. When Ashton's mad he comes back with more fighting power. He'll say things to purposely hurt your feelings.

I decided to change out of my bloody cloths from the accident. I changed into a red and white flannel with a black tank top and black shorts.

I went to look in the mirror I couldn't believe how cut up I was. I had scratches all over my body and had dry blood on my cheeks and cuts. I grabbed a washcloth and ran it under hot water. I dabbed the washcloth onto the cuts.

I heard a knock on my door.

I walked over to the door to open it.

It was Colton.

"Hey what's up lil man ?" I said and kneeled down for him

"Can I stay with you tonight ?" He asked

"Yeah of course." I opened the door farther and he walked inside.

He was waring his baseball shirt and pj pants. Colton had his blanket in one hand and when to sit on my bed.

I closed the door and sat next to him.

"What's going on in that little head of yours ?" I said rubbing his hair

"Why did dad say those things ? I've never seen him act like that." Colton asked looking into my eyes.

"Daddy's not the best person in the world but he's getting better though I promise." I gave him a reassuring smile

"Here you sleep on this side." I said

He smiled at me and crawled under the converts

He asked me "could you sing the song ?"

I smiled at him I can't believe he remembers that

"Of course I can."

This song meant a lot to us. Ashton and i grew up singing along to it like 24/7. We use to sing it to Colton to help him sleep at night.

I started singing softly

( Don't let me go by Harry styles )

Now you were standing there right in front of me
I hold on, it's getting harder to breathe
All of a sudden these lights are blinding me
I never noticed how bright they would be

I saw in the corner there is a photograph
No doubt in my mind it's a picture of you
It lies there alone in its bed of broken glass
This bed was never made for two
I'll keep my eyes wide open
I'll keep my arms wide open

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

I promised one day that I'd bring you back a star
I caught one and it burned a hole in my hand, oh
Seems like these days I watch you from afar
Just trying to make you understand
I'll keep my eyes wide open, yeah

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
Don't let me
Don't let me go

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
