Broken (Ashton Irwin Fanfic)

Someone Cares?

I draw the blade across my wrist.

One for being ugly

One for being stupid

One for being parentless

Two for the fact I was cheated on

And three for the fact that I'm still in this hell hole.

I end up doing the same thing to the other wrist. I don't know why I keep doing it. I want to stop but I can't. It's impossible.

I watch the blood run down my arms and into the sink as I rinse off. I get a towel and wrap it around my wrist.

I throw on a spirit wear hoodie and black jeans. I put my hair in a ponytail and walk out the door. Trying to ignore the fact that I hear moans in Aaron's room.

As I get to school, I notice the boys aren't at my locker. They'll probably be around at some point today.

I catch Ashton staring at me. He looks away and walks over to his friends. Bella walks up to me.

"Okay you look like you got hit by a bus."

"I know, I know. I'm alright though, so don't worry."

She smiles and walks to class.

I walk into science and sit down. Ashton comes in and sits next to me.

"I'm so sorry about the whole boyfriend thing, I really don't know why I asked that." He looked at me with sad eyes.

"It's fine." I fake smile.

We sit together and get through the boring class of taking notes. I notice red stuff on my paper. I quickly wipe it off with my sleeve before anyone notices.

When we get out of class, Ashton looks mad. Or maybe sad?

"What's wrong?"

"Um. Lily."

"What?"

He looks around and then pulls me into the janitor's closet and turns the light on. He grabs my wrist and I notice my sleeve is red.

Oh CRAP.

He lifts up the sleeve and his face falls. He looks like a kicked puppy. I hate it.

"I-I don't understand. Why would you do this?"

"Please don't yell." I wince.

"Babe, I would never yell at you. J-Just tell me why you did this."

He lifts up the other sleeve. And I see tears in the eyes.

He grabs a washcloth from the rack and cleans up the blood carefully.

"Here wear my sweatshirt for the rest of the day."

"No, Ash. You'll be cold."

"I don't care. I'm not going to let you deal with a bloody sleeve all day. Let me help bandage your...cuts." He chokes out the last part.

As soon as he finishes, he looks at me, and engulfs me into a big hug. His head rests on top of mine.

"Please don't ever do this again."

"I can't promise anything." I choke out. It's now my turn to cry. I sob into his chest, and he holds me.

"Did your boyfriend make you do this?"

"Uh, kind of."

He lets go of me and looks so hurt. "Why does he treat you like that? I don't get it. No one should ever treat you like that. I've only known you for three days, Lily, but I want you to know that you can always talk to me. I will always be here for you."

I don't know what to say. No one has ever cared this much for me.

"Th-thank you Ashton."

He smiles a genuine smile.

"Now about your boyfriend. You need to get out of there."
