Shadow girl (On Hold)

After the Darkness

I woke up in my own bed, with Ashton by my bedside. I sat up and immediately regretted it but there was a guy in my room and I was kinda concerned.
"How did you get my mom to let you in here Ashton?"
"That's not important. Are you ok?"
"I can't believe you just asked me that. I don't know what you did to me or why but the last person I saw before I passed out was you so you're getting the blame." I must have given him a look of such disdain that he looked a little hurt.
"I had no idea you had such a bad temper. You were always so quiet."
I didn't think he ever noticed me yet alone studied me. Woah.
"I do not have a temper!"
He just quirked his eyebrow.
"I don't!"
"Yes you do. You're just like your father. Oh and by the way Lacy is fine we just broke up."
"You did what?" I sputtered.
Ashton quirked his eyebrow again.
"I had my eye on someone else Alice."
Now I was surprised, not to mention a little scared.
"Who?" It came out of my mouth like a whimper. At first I weren't sure he even heard me.
"You Alice. I had my eye on you."
I sucked in a breath. There was no way he liked me.
"There's no way. You can't like me, you're the golden boy and I'm nobody and..." He cut me off.
"Alice you're beautiful. You're not nobody. " His eyes were soft but something was bothering him, I just didn't know what it was.
"Is that what you call me? The golden boy?"
I felt her face flush and knew I was blushing.
"That's what everyone in our school calls you." I replied.
"Oh really." He looked like his normal self again. Haughty, proud, he'd look normal if it weren't for the bags under his eyes.
"Holy shit! What time is it?!"
"It's eight."
"In the morning!!!"
"Well yeah."
"Have you been at my place all night? There's no way my mom let you!"
"Shhhhh" was all he said.
I could hear my moms footsteps outside on the stairs.
"Gotta go!" He said as he bent down and brushed a kiss across my check. Then he said something in a different language and jumped out the window. My two story window. Just then my mom opened the door.
"Are you ok honey? Do u need anything?"
"No mom I'm fine."
"Wasn't it nice of..oh what's his name?"
"Ashton?"
"Yes darling that's it. Wasn't it nice of him to bring you here. He said you passed out at school. He brought you and then left. I wished he'd stayed to talk but I guess he had to go back to school. He's a nice boys isn't he?"
I had stopped listening about halfway through the conversation. My mom didn't know about Ashton in my room last night. Which meant he came through the window. I was going to tell my mom, but thought better of it. Now all of could think about was the place on my cheek where his lips and brushed a mere minute ago. I had to go to school tomorrow. What was going on?
