Forever Us

Chapter 26

Ashton's POV
Walk inside and look around. I don't see Summer anywhere so I decide that I should go see if Kellin has seen her. I walk in and see her there sitting there with Keelins arm around her trying to get her to stop crying. I immediately feel jealous. I just watch for a few moments until Kellin notices me.
"I'll be right back." I hear Kellin whisper as he gets up and walks over to me. He pulls me out of the room. He pulls me into the spare and closes the door. As soon as the door closes he punches me.
"What the heck!" I yell
"You hurt her."
"I didn't mean to."
"Well you deserve what I'm going to do to you." And with that he starts punching me over and over again. Man this guy doesn't look that tough but man he has a hard punch and it's not like I can fight back. I can't hurt one of Summer's best friends.
"Dude! Stop! I LOVE Summer. I just snapped. You need to stop!" I yell pulling him out of his trance
"Ya. Sorry." He says getting off of me and standing up not even bothering to help me up "Oh. If you ever snap at her again and make her cry then don't stay by her side I will do worse that just beating you." He says
"I won't! Can I use some of your bandages, and stuff?"
"No. Go to the store and buy your own."
"I kinda can't drive if I can't see out of my right eye", I say containing my anger.
"You shoulda thought about that before you hurt Summer."
"Why do you care so much? You like WInter not Summer, My girlfriend."
"As a guy you're supposed to respect women."
"I didn't disrespect her. It's perfectly okay with getting in an argument with your girlfriend. You act like I hit her or something. Plus, I was coming in here to explain myself and say sorry to her."
"What's your explanation.", Kellin says crossing his eyes over his chest.
"Why should I tell you my whole life story?"
"ITS NOT YOUR LIFE STORY."
"Maybe if you actually talked to your girlfriend and not mine you'd know.", I say clearly not realizing what I said until I said it.
"I talk to her more than her. I'm the one who cleaned her up and help her when she has a breakdown."
"You know what this is none of your business. Winter is my best friend and you can't tell me anything I don't know. I'm not telling you why I was upset but if you got your off from arms from around my girlfriend and go ask yours you'd know." I say pushing past him into the room with Summer. Before I could get in the room Kellin grabbed my arm pulling me back to where we currently were.
"I shouldn't have to ask Winter about you. I should just ask you a question and you should answer, especially after what you did to Summer.", Kellin says calmly. I throw my hands in the air giving up.
"Fine. My whole life I was never the smart one or the most athletic. I always felt out of place. I was out down my whole life because I was the artistic one. I loved to draw, do my friend's makeup, and to play my guitar. I was different. My mom didn't like that. I just got so tired of my mom I gave up on school and all the stuff I love. Causing me to get held back. Then I always come across as the bad boy or the troubled one. All I wanted was to do is fit in. Hearing those words come from Autumn I just snapped. I believe everything they say and I don't know I just wanted to leave and maybe I could finally be who I wanted to be.", I say holding back the tears of when I lived with my mother.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hit you. I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry for not hearing you out before I hit you.", Kellin says with sincerity in his voice, " I had a mental abusive mother growing up and I know what it's like. I'm really sorry. Forgive me?"
"Maybe", I say sarcastically, "Can I?", I say gesturing to the door.
"Go ahead. I'll be downstairs."
I walk in the room and see Summer sat in the same position she was in earlier. I walked up to her and I looked at her in the eyes.
"I'm so so sorry. I shouldn't of snapped on you. I'm really sorry."
"Please, get away from me.", she says scouting back from me.
"Summer, I'm sorry."
"If you snapped on me who's to say you wouldn't do it again."
"There's not, but I promise if you give me a chance. I can make it up to you."
"Why would you yell at me."
"I just. Summer trust me there's a good reason.", I say looking in her in the eye so she knows I care.
"What's your reason.", Summer says.
"If I tell you will you forgive me?"
"It better be a good reason."
"My whole life I was never the smart one or the most athletic. I always felt out of place. I was never like you. I was put down, not only by my mom but my friends. My whole life because I was the artistic one. I loved to draw, do my friend's makeup, and to play my guitar, as you know. I was different. My mom didn't like that. I just got so tired of my mom I gave up on school and all the stuff I love. Causing me to get held back. So, that year you were in my grade and you were the person I wanted to be. I wanted to be understood. Then I always changed the way I dressed and looked making me come across as the bad boy or the troubled one. All I wanted was to do is fit in. Hearing those words come from Autumn I just snapped. I just don't want to have to be misunderstood my whole life so I'll walk away from all the people who think of me as that person. I believe everything they say and I don't know I just wanted to leave and maybe I could finally be who I wanted to be. I'm sorry."
"I forgive you."
"Thanks"
"What happened to your face?"
"Kellin."
"What do you mean?"
"He beat me up for making you cry."
"Your bigger and stronger than him. How did he beat you up that bad?"
"I didn't want to hurt him because he is your best friend."
"Wow."
"What?"
"Your great."
"Thanks. Your better though."
"True." She says laughing making me laugh "Let's get you cleaned up."
"We can't use Kellins supplies."
"Why?"
"I ask if I could use it and he told me no and to go get my own."
"Let me talk to him"
"Can I come with you?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because. Why do you care anyway?" She says
"Because I care about you."
"What does that haft to do with if?"
"I don't like to see him around you without me. I don't want him stealing you.
"Your jelly?"
"Ya. Kinda."
"You shouldn't be. I would never trade you for him." She says before standing on her toes and kissing me.
I hear someone clear their throat and immediately pull away from Summer and turn around to see Autumn.
"Hi.", I say awkwardly feeling a blush creep onto my face
"We never finished our conversation. I don't know where this act has come from, but I don't like it. Is it Ashton causing this total change in you?" She says to Summer
"This isn't a act. I'm finally acting like myself and I don't care if you like it. By the way I don't care if you like Ashton either because I love him." She says "I don't care what you think. I'm trying to help you this is not what you want in life. Also, you have to live under my rules until you're 18. So, you can't date him and you won't."
