Unpredictable (5SOS Love Story)

Chapta 12

Ashton turned to me in the car, "Where did you go? I couldn't find you! I was worried!"

"I told you I was helping a friend. She was getting beat up by some other people."

"Well, that explains your bloody lip," he said. I completely forgot about my lip. "Something could've happened to you! You could've been kidnapped or killed and I'd never see you again!"

"Well, isn't it obvious, I'm here and I'm fine. Besides, I can defend myself fine," I look out the window.

"Danny most people are taller and stronger than you!" Ashton snapped.

I whip around and face him, "You don't know. You weren't there! I am stronger than you think! I took out those bullies! And in school, who defended you when you were bullied?! Huh?!"

We arrived at the hotel right then. I jump out of the car and run. I don't know where. I just ran.

ASHTON'S POV

Oh, what have I done! I tried shouting after her, but she kept on running. I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"It's okay. You know Danny. She'll come back," Michael told me. Luke and Calum come up to us too.

"I don't know," I put my hands on my face. The boys practically dragged me inside, and I called and texted her repeatedly, but she never answered.

The other three tried too. But no replies for them either. I'd have to do something risky. Something that'd make her more mad.

DANNY'S POV

I sat in the dark, at a park that was far from the hotel. The boys kept on texting and calling me.I didn't reply or pick up the calls. One of Ashton's texts caught my eye.

A: Dan answer me

Anger flared in me. No one calls me Dan except for Edgar. And other people know not to call me that. It was only Edgar's nickname for me. I hate it when other people call me that.

D: Don't ever call me that!!!!!!!!!!! And LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!

ASHTON'S POV

I recieved her text. Well it was pointless sending that text. At least she answered back though. I threw myself onto the bed and cried m eyes out into my pillow.

DANNY'S POV

The other boys kept trying to get ahold of me but Ashton didn't. I knew that he was just trying to protect me. I was just mad, because I can fight for myself.

I honestly felt a little bad, now. I sighed. I picked myself up off of the ground and started on my long walk to the hotel. On my way there, I ran from several dogs. When they stopped chasing me, I walked again. It was really dark out, and I tripped over a piece of broken cement. I passed out cold.

I remember. When I was around thirteen. I was bullied a lot. The only friends I had were Ashton, Michael, Calum, and Luke. Then, when I moved to Melbourne, it got even worse. I was bullied because I was the new kid. I started cutting, and smoking. It became bad. My parents didn't know a thing. My brother, Edgar, noticed though. He made me tell him. And over time he helped me through it. I eventually quit both. My best friends think that they know all of my personality. They're wrong. They may know a lot. But they don't know the rest.

I woke up, lying on the side of the road. I checked the time. It was 12:56 a.m. I stood up carefully. Everything hurt. My side, my knee, my head, ....... my heart.

I continued on. This time, carefully. I got to the hotel about 1:34 a.m. People looked at me strange as I walked into the lobby. I bet I looked like a mess. Someone jumped up and hugged me. It was Luke.

"Danny, where were you every one is worried sick! Especially Ashton........" he said.

And that was it. I couldn't hold it in any longer. I burst into tears, and Luke hugged me. I sobbed into his shoulder, until he said, "C'mon, let's go up to the room."

In the elevator, he asked, "What happened? You look like you got ran over by a truck."

"Oh, I uhh... tripped... on a piece of cement," I rubbed my eyes. I had a real bad headache, too.

"You look terrible," Luke says.

"Thank you," I say with no emotion.

"I meant, you don't look like you feel good."

I sighed and said, "I don't."

We arrived at the room and I walk in after Luke. I was about to face Ashton.
