Best Friends

Chapter 27 - pick up

" sure where are you?" He says happily

That's one thing i loved about being friends with Ashton, he was always happy.

" I'm at home right now" I sniffle

" okay il be like 5 minutes" and with that he hung up

I sat on the table watching out for his car and James walked downstairs

" how come your sitting here" he says
I don't answer and continue watching out the window

I seen Ashton's headlights and jumped down from the bench grabbing my phone

James recognised the car and immediately grabbed my hand " so your going out with him then?" He says his eyes glossy

" I'm going out with a friend, I need to be away from you right now James" he takes one last glance at me then let's go of my hand nodding

" I'm sorry" I hear him say as I close the door

I walk up the steep bank to our gate and jump into Ashton's car

" where too" he says smiling,
His smile fades when he sees my hand
" fuck what happened!" He shouts and I shake my head " did he do that to you?!"

" what? Fuck no! James would never hurt me" I say

" it's a long story" I sigh

" okay I know a place we can go" and he pulls away from the house

We pull up to a big gate and I look at him confused, he doesn't look as they open and we drive through.

I can't see anything but darkness as he keeps driving.

" Ashton where are we?" I ask but he doesn't answer

" there's something I need to tell you" he says from the darkness

" I'm the reason James got locked up" light hits his face from outside and I see him grinning

" what are you talking about?" Ask confused

"It was me, I was trying to get rid of him" he chuckled

We pulled up to a house " Ashton I want to go home" I say nervously

" just shut up " he says sternly

" Ashton why are you being like this"

The engine shuts off " let's go inside there's A lot we need to talk about" he smiles at me

Sashas POV
I walk downstairs after getting changed into something comfortable, I wanted a drink to take upstairs but as I got into the kitchen I seen James sitting on the bench, his head in his hands, he notices my presence and immediately looks up.

" oh, hey Sash" he gives me a half smile but I don't return it " you fucked up today" I say coldly and he frowns " I know I did" he looks down. " where is she?" I ask " went out with Ashton" he jumps down from the bench

" hot chocolate?" He asks and I nod

" so did she say why?" I sit myself down on the breakfast bar as he makes our drinks

" she just said she needs to be away from me right now, so I let her go" he replies

My phone buzzes in my pocket and it's a text from Beth

Sash I really need your help

James can tell by the look on my face something is wrong

" Beth's in trouble" I say and before I finish he's out the door.
