Michaels P.o.v

The whole night I kept Ashley safe in my arms.

I can't believe she tried to off herself.

She doesn't want to be dead and be miserable like all the others in this house. She'd go insane I'm sure of it.

"Michael..." A faint voice took me away from my thoughts as I looked down at her and kissed her forehead softly.

"Shh I'm here. It's 4 am. Why are you awake?" I questioned as I raised up my eyebrow.

Ashley shrugged and sighed as I watched her trace patterns on my chest. I gulped and chewed my lip as she did so.

I thought about making love to her over and over again. I'm a guy it's what I do.

But I wanted her to be comfortable and find it to be special as much as I would.

"Can we? Um.." I watched her look down and bit her lip as she blushed.

I knew she was gonna ask.

"Ashley you don't even know how badly I want you. But we can't. Not right now." I whispered as she glanced up at me and frowned.

"W-why not? I mean you saved my life I wanna repay you." She begged as I sighed and rubbed my face.

"You are repaying me by being alive love." I kissed the side of her head as she sighed and moved away from me, turning her body away. Lovely.

"Don't be like this. We can do those kids of things when we're both ready. Don't rush it." I frowned as I placed my arm around her waist and pulled her close. She just pulled away.

"I'm not a child. I'm almost eighteen. Calum would've done it." She mumbled as I clenched my fist at the mention of his name.

My head started to stir as I held it and winced closing my eyes.

- flashback -

The house smelled of booze and underage sex as I walked in.

Typical high school house party.

I rolled my eyes and pushed past people trying to find Katie. I was worried sick.

I found Ashton dancing and drinking with some well known girl. By well known I mean she gets around.

"Ashton! Have you seen Katie?" I yelled. You could barley hear a damn thing in this house.

"Yeah I think she's upstairs. She said she was waiting for you." Ashton slurred I can smell the birthday cake vodka he so happily had chugged down.

"Thanks." I nodded at him as I made my way upstairs past 3 couples practically fucking. Gross. I swear people don't know what privacy is.

I opened up a bedroom door as I sighed to see Katie with Luke. Completely naked and touching eachother.

"Oh my god! Michael! What the hell are you doing here?!" Katie freaked and quickly hid herself under the covers with Luke.

"I came to check on you. Clearly you're fine." I mumbled as I slammed the door and started making my way downstairs.

I knew she was dating this asshole but did she really have to give up her virginity to him? Fucking Christ.

"Michael wait!" I heard her yell after me as I made my way to the front lawn. I felt her hand grab my arm gently as she stopped me.

She was fully clothed in her dress but her hair was clearly messed up.

"What do you want? I'm tired of these damn mind games Katie! You tell me you love me one day and the next you are dating and fucking some douchebag? I thought you were better than that!" I yelled as I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.

"Michael I-I do love you... You just scare me..." She whispered and looked down.

"How the hell do I scare you?" I asked starting to get annoyed.

"I saw your book. The one with your hate list." She mumbled as my eyes widened then furrowed.

"You went through my fucking shit?!" I yelled as I grabbed her arm and squeezed it.

"Michael you're hurting me..." She winced as I pulled her close.

"Never ever touch my fucking shit!" I yelled and slapped her hard across the face.

She fell to her knees as she held her hand to her cheek and started to cry.

"Stay away from me." She whispered as I tried to come near her.

"I never want to see you again!"

- end of flashback -

"I never want to see you again!"

It replayed over and over in my head.

"Michael are you okay?" Ashley mumbled as she sat up and rubbed my back in small circles.

"I need to go.." I whispered and got up as I rubbed my temples trying to rid the
memory from my mind. That didn't work.

"Michael please talk to me." Ashley pleaded as i sighed and faced her. She was more worried than ever.

"Look you need to stay away from me okay? You know I'm dangerous. I shouldn't be around." I stated as I closed my eyes and felt the darkness take over me.

"Michael don't say that. I want you to stay please." She begged as she stroked my cheek with her fingertips.

"Fuck off." I muttered and swatted her hand away as she frowned. I watched her bottom lip tremble, just knowing she was gonna cry.

"Don't be like that. I hate when you act like this. It's not you." She whispered as I rolled my eyes and pressed my forehead to hers.

"Sweetheart this has always been me." I whispered and flashed her a devilish grin.

"You wouldn't hurt me." She whispered as I pushed her back on the bed and pinned her down.

"Wanna bet? I lie sometimes Ash." I smirked and stared into her olive green eyes.

"You won't." She breathed out. She wasn't as scared as she used to be. Well that's no fun.

"I'll probably hurt your friend Calum instead for trying to get rid of me. Trust me I was there I heard his dumbass plan." I whispered in her ear as she froze and stuttered trying to speak.

"Y-you promised Michael." She whispered as tears started to fall from her eye sockets.

"Oh baby girl, sometimes I make promises I don't intend to keep." I chuckled and kissed her forehead as I backed off. I walked out of her room leaving her trapped in her own thoughts.

I need to find that idiot Calum.

Oooo getting to be more intense. If you haven't noticed Michael has a split personality from good to an evil side. So things are gonna get pretty messed up. Hope you enjoyed! Love you guys so much! :) <3 - ash x
