Gemma's POV.
I lay there silently, cupping my arms around Ashton. I felt his chest rise and lower as he breathed gently in his sleep. My head was resting on his shoulder. I looked up at him, taking in his beauty.

Removing my arms from around him, I rolled over - facing the bedside table. I reached into my bag and rummaged through it. I pulled out the box with the bracelet Ashton gave me and observed it.

Yes? No? Keep the baby? Get rid of it? Confusion.
I don't want it but I do. I don't have a proper bumb yet... Not a big one...
I go back to college tomorrow ,will anyone notice? Shit.

I heard Ashton groan and roll over so my back was against his chest, he squeezed me tightly.

My thoughts stopped and I began to relax more, making me fall into a deep sleep.

In the Morning
**********************
Rubbing my eyes, I get of of bed and shuffle to the door. Once again, I found myself in an unfamiliar place but remembering this is my new 'home'.

"Heyyyyyy" Ashton said in a lazy voice as he strolled out of the bathroom.

"Hi" I gave him a small smile.

"Got collage?"

"Yep, so excited" I say sarcastically

Ash smirks

He pulls me up by my hands from the couch and gives me a peck on the lips.

"I've got to go to start recording our next album. See you later" He grabs his wallet from the Kitchen counter, opens the door and leaves.

I go into the bathroom take a shower and apply my make-up which Ashton bought me along with a wardrobe of new clothing. I tied my hair into a messy bun, slipped into some leggings and threw an oversized jumper over me. I get my boots on and fill my new Chanel backpack, which Ashton also bought me, with: books, pens, pencils and paper. I sigh and leave.

It was cold out. The air was icy and the clouds were grey. (The weather tends to reflect my mood).

I approached the school gates, worried and nervous.

"Gemma!!!!" Hannah came running towards me.

"Hiii Hans!" I gave her a hug.

"So what's up with you know what?"

"Well, Ash is being very supportive and I am now living with him."

"Glad to hear he is actually doing something good. You guys are kinda cute" she giggles "You'll probably get married!"

"ermm thinking too fast Hans" I gulped

"Ha! Sorry, I forgot you get funny about those sort of things...So, I'm just gonna ask one question... Are you guys dating?"

"Sort of.... I guess....maybe" I reply timidly

"Either you are...or you're not?" She said

The bell went... Time for lessons.

Me and Hannah made our way to our next class... English.

As we walked in, I looked around to see if any was staring at my not-so-obvious-very-tiny-bumb ... Nope.

I pulled out my chair next to Douglass Hue. Douglass has terrible achene! He is filthy; black stuck in his fingernails, stains down his shirt, holes in his shoes. He is about 6"7 - Very tall, pale and boney. Strangely, I actually feel sorry for him. He has been bullied since Year 7. His parents are clearly not with it and I suppose he isn't either. He is poor and neglected. I did use to speak to him until he asked me out in year 9 and that was when I freaked out and ignored him for the past few years. The reason why I get freaked out about dating, marriage and settling is that I have problems with trust... My father walked out on us when I was 10, My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my ex-bestfriend and I just have a fear of relying on someone to change my future. The thing with Ashton is that he is special, there is something about him which makes me feel like I need him.

"OmG! What happened with Ashton last time we met?" Jess Whispered to me across the table

"Oh ermm"

"She's dating Ashton!" Hannah announced

"WHAT! DON'T LIE!!!" Anna joined in

"Well I'm just living with him for the moment" I replied

"WAHH! Wait you're pranking me right?" Anna said raising her eyebrow.

"Why else would he want to speak to her alone!?" Hannah exclaimed

Anna and Jess looked at each other realizing.

"Ladies at the back! Please get on with the work!" Mrs Rivers directed at us

"Oops sorry" Hannah apologized

We all glanced at each other with a slight smile and eventually continued our work.

"Wait are you guys talking about Ashton from the year below?" Douglas randomly interrupted

Wow he actually spoke!

"Pfff... No we mean Ashton from 5 seconds of summer" Jess answered

"As if, I'm not that stupid! That band is so awsome! I'm actually a big fan of their music!" Douglas said

"Wait, YOU like 5sos?" I asked him

Woah I spoke to him

"Yeah..."

"Oh but anyway, I'm good friends with Ashton from 5sos." I say

"Just good friends!? Good friends don't -"

I cover Hannah's mouth to stop her from spilling any more gossip

"That's cool." Douglas smiles at me.

Wait he has fixed his buckled rotting teeth!

I smile back.

The bell rings, echoing through the classroom. Everyone ran out like a herd of elephants. Next up... Science.
