Bradley's Little Sister ((Connor Ball The Vamps Fan Fiction))

Chapter 39

ASHLEIGHS POV

I had been texting Connor all morning since the other girls were joking around laughing with each other and sorta forgetting about me, who was walking behind them as there wasn't any room to walk with them.

It was really nice talking to Connor as he always knew how to make me smile even when I was feeling like absolute shit!!

My Boo 💕😘
you look beautiful darling x

Me
how would you know ? You've barely seen me :3

My Boo 💕😘
I don't need to look at you to know that you look beautiful

But of course as soon as I was actually starting to feel good Chloe had to come up and take my earphones out of my ears and grab my phone from my hands

"What's that for?!" I asked somewhat loudly as I was annoyed "stop texting your boyfriend and start socializing with us" she said "kinda hard to socialize with you when I'm stuck walking behind you all!" I told them "cmon we came out to have a good time" Aurora said "I was having a good time until my phone was snatched out of my hands" I said "cmon shop with us!" Aurora soon said "I can't shop. I can walk around and tell you guys that clothes look good on you but that's it" "at least pretend to be having a good time" Shelly said "but I'm over pretending. I'm over pretending to be happy. I'm over pretending that my family is okay. I'm over pretending that I'm good enough to even exist. I don't want to pretend anymore" I loudly admitted causing a few people to look over "Ashleigh. You're causing people to look" Aurora said "oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to draw attention over here" I sarcastically said "cmon ash you're amazing. Don't put yourself down" Shelly tried to comfort me "I've been depressed and suicidal since I was 13 mainly because I hated everything about myself and you're trying to tell me not to put myself down?" I asked and no one spoke. "I just want to be alone. I'll probably see you later" I took my phone out of Chloe's hands and left.

The whole time I was walking away I felt numerous eyes locked onto me which made me want to leave faster!!

BRADS POV

finally we were home!!! Don't get me wrong it was nice having band interviews sometimes but they can be really boring sometimes and this was one of those times

We walked into the house and saw 3 girls sitting on the couches looking worried.

"Where's Ash?" I asked "no idea" they all said at once and immediately my mind was full of worrying thoughts. I could only imagine how Connor was feeling.

"Have you guys tried to find her?" James asked and they all shook their heads! "Well we've got to find her! If we don't then she won't be coming home p a while" I said remembering a while back when she spent a week or something living in a shelter after running away!

Connor seriously hadn't said a word since the girls told us shed ran away somewhere. He was occasionally looking at his phone though?

CONNORS POV

I knew it wouldn't work but I tried messaging ash and to my surprise she actually responded I

Me
Ash! Where are you? We're all worried sick!!

Princess😍💘
you know where I am. But if you're coming then please whatever you do DONT bring Brad! Please x

I don't understand why she never wants Brad to find out about that spot?

But that aside I pulled Tris over where no one was and told him that I knew where ash was and that he needed to come with me so the others don't get too suspicious.

"Ashleigh!!" I smiled as I saw her sitting under the tree "hey" she faked a smile "cmon talk to us" Tristan said "you don't have to act interested in my problems" she looked down "Ashleigh. Please talk to us" I said "every time I start to get better, there's always someone who wants to put me back down. I'm over it I just want to be happy. I haven't felt proper happiness in over 5 years and I know I've said this many times before but I want to get better. I will do absolutely anything I just want to be how I was 6 years ago" I could tell she was about to cry "why are you so determined this time?" Tris questioned "people keep saying that I'm going to be a terrible mother not just because I'm young but because I'll probably be dead not long after the baby is born and I don't want that to be true! I want to prove everyone wrong for once" she said "you know we'll be by your side through put this whole thing" I said with Tristan soon agreeing

ASHLEIGHS POV

"What exactly happened earlier though?" Tristan asked "it's gonna sound kinda stupid but you really need to see it from my point of view. Anyway I was texting Connor and he was being the sweetheart he always is and it was making me feel good I was alright. The girls were all standing in a line but there was no room for me so I was walking behind and I couldn't hear what they were all laughing about to to feel less awkward and a bit better about myself I had my earphones in and yeh I was texting Connor. Then they thought it would be a good idea to rip out my earphones, steal my phone and have a go at me for being so antisocial when I tried so hard to be social with them and they neglected me. Then they're all like 'oh just shop with us' after I'd told them a billion times that I can't shop. After telling them that again I just told them that I wasn't going to walk around pretending to have a good time when I'm not! I'm just over pretending! So I left and well here we are" I caught them up.

After a lot of convincing they finally got me to come back to the house.

"Ash" the girls attacked me in a hug "uhh hi?" I said completely uncomfortable as they backed away "don't uh take this the wrong way or anything but I just want to be alone for a while" I said.

"Connor!?" I soon called out to him "what's up?" He asked "where are they?" I asked "I don't know what you're talking about" he legit had no idea "the razors. What did you do with them?" I asked "hold on first answer this. Why do you want them?" He asked "I was going to get rid of them" I told him the truth "now what did you do to them?" I asked "the other boys and I took them and put them somewhere so you'd never see them again" he said "seriously? You did? Aww Connor. You boys are so sweet. I'm so so glad to have you in my life" I hugged him "you know I would do anything for you, and so would the others. We love you. But I love you the most" he smirked "you're so cheesy" I giggled at him "just admit it. You love me and my cheesy I love yous" he said "no I'll never admit it" I laughed "oh you'll admit it one way or another" he laughed "what do you mean?" I had some kind of idea on what he meant "you're really ticklish right?" He smirked "what? No! Connor" I said as I knew if I didn't say I loved him he'd attack me in tickles "just admit it already" he smiled "fine fine. I love you and your cheesy I love yous. It's not true I just don't want you to tickle me" I laughed at the thought of him tickling me "you're rude" he said before barely poking my ribs which almost killed me as I was super ticklish around the ribs.
