Hidden Scars (Ashton Irwin fanfic)

Chapter 6

He pulled away looking at me through his soft curls. His bottom lip grazed mine as if he was to going to kiss me again but it left it as a tease. I smiled and felt myself blush. "That was nice," Ashton said. He leaned in again taking away the little breath I had. Inches away from my lips he whispers, "Really, really nice." Our lips touch again as I put my fingers through his hair. I feel Ashton smirk as he pulls away for a second time letting the feeling of him linger on my lips.

3 weeks later

I checked the clock to see what time it was. 3:45. I still have about an hour before Jo comes I thought. The math homework I had I front of me was almost done but I decided to put it away and go on my phone. I was scrolling through Instagram when I heard someone say, "What a coincidence seeing this little twat." I looked up to see Grayson and three other football players. "We were just discussing how to beat the shit out of you now that you don't have little Ashy boy to protect you."

"Please, Grayson. I don't want any trouble," I managed to say.

"You were destined for trouble from the day you were born you little shit," he replied.

"Pleas, I-"

"Come out to the parking lot. Now," he commanded.

"No please-"

"I said NOW." He grabbed my phone out of my hands and chucked it on the ground. I cringed as I heard the screen shatter. He grabbed my arm and drug me along as tears silently spilled down my face. We made it to the parking lot and when we got behind his truck he shoved me to the ground.

I tried to stand up. Grayson please don't-" his fist hit me left cheek hard and knocked me back down. The friend to his right jumped on me slamming my back onto the hard pavement. He lifted his fist up to slam into me 1, 2, 3, 4 times before he finally walked away.

"You tell anyone this and you will regret your existence," Grayson threatened.

"As if I don't already," I shakily mumbled.

"I DIDN'T say you could talk!" He shouted. His shoe hit me in the ribs hard. "Go to hell." He hopped in his truck with his buddies and they drove off laughing.

I laid there and cried for I don't know how long until I heard someone walking my way while whistling. I slowly say up hurting my pounding head more. I saw Luke come running towards me. "Oh my god! Tori what happened? Who did this to you?" he asked throwing his bag to the ground and inspecting my face.

"No one did this. I'm fine I just tripped," I lied not looking at him.

"I know your not telling the truth who did this to you."

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does now tell me who did this. Bree? Santana? Who?"

"Bree already got me yesterday."

"What?! This happens yesterday?"

"It wasn't this bad. Just a couple hits. They're weak anyway."

"That doesn't make this okay. Who did this today?"

"It was just Grayson and two of his friends. No big deal."

"They fucking HIT YOU?!" Luke shouted.

"Yeah but it's not a big deal."

"Yes it is! Fuck, Tori! How can you see this is nothing? You have a black and blue eye. You're all bloody. This is more than nothing! I can't believe they actually hit you. What else did they do?"

"Luke it's-"

"What else did they do?!" He sounded mad but when I looked in his eyes all that was there was concern.

"They just punched me and kicked me in the ribs. That's it." This seemed to set him off more.

"Let me see your ribs," he said.

"No, Luke. I'm sure it's fine. It doesn't even hurt," I lied.

"Let me see now," he said again, this time through closed teeth. He pulled at the bottom of my sweatshirt.

"Luke please," I replied pulling down.

"Just let me see!" He pried my fingers off and managed to slid the bottom of my shirt up before I could do anything. He looked down at my stomach. His face was filled with shock and confusion. I covered my mouth with my hands and quietly whimpered. "Tori..."

"I know. I'm-"

"What are these? Are these what I think they are?" He dropped my shirt and looked into my eyes. I cried harder and closed my eyes so I didn't have to see his disappointment. "Tor, why? Why do you do this to yourself?"

"Because I deserve it," I mumbled.

"You sure as hell do NOT!" He yelled. I pulled my shirt down and pulled my knees up to my chest. "You are a beautiful woman. Anyone would be lucky to have you. The guys and girls at our school are just douches. Look what they did to you! You do not deserve any of this." He pulled me into his chest to comfort me but pulled away to look at me again. "You have to tell Ash."

"No Luke! I can't! You are the only person who knows and I didn't choose to tell you! I don't want anyone to know!"

"Tor he needs to know. He'll be able to help you."

"No I won't do it."

"Fine. If you don't I will."

"Luke don't," I pleaded.

"Then tell him about all of this. About the cuts, the bullying, and everything. You'll be amazed by how he can help you." He stood up and reached his hand out to help me up. "Now let's get you cleaned up." I swatted his hand away and stoop up slowly by myself.

"I don't need your help." I started to walk away and I heard Luke get in his car.

I heard him come up behind me and he shouted, "You better tell him!" before he drove away.

I walked into the bathroom and I looked into the mirror at my bruised face. My bloody nose. The light mascara trail down my cheeks. I was a wreck. I shook my head and locked myself in the last stall of the bathroom. I collapsed on the floor hiding my face in my hands. I was a mess. A hurt broken down mess.

When Ashton was with me no one taunted me. Nobody made fun of me. Nobody had any desire to hurt me and if they did, they kept it to themselves. Ashton protected me from everyone and even myself. Now he has to know about everything. He's not gonna want me. He'll drop me as fast as he can. Then everyday will be like this. For now, my only problem is finding out how to tell him before Luke does.
