Save Me (Drew Chadwick Fanfic)

Chapter 4

Ashley's POV

I slept like a baby last night. Is that weird to say? I actually didn't have a nightmare last night. Well I did... but not like I usually do. It wasn't as bad, to make me wake up in the middle of the night screaming. I looked over at my phone and I saw I had 2 unopened texts.

Drew: Had a great time last night? Maybe we can do something today?

I smiled at his text and replied:

Ashley: Love to! What did you have in mind?

I looked at the other message which was from my dad. Did I mention I ran away from home? Yeah, after high school ended I moved away as far as possible, as fast as possible. I couldn't stand to be near him any longer. I was dreading opening his text. I don't know why I did, but I regretted it as soon as I read it.

Dad: I'm going to find you. And you won't like the consequences.

No. No, I am not having him control my life. All he has ever done was make me terrified. Make me unable to trust anyone. All he has done is make my life hell. He won't find me. He's drunk half the time anyways. I'm all the way in HB, Cali. There is no way he is going to find me. It's impossible.

Drew: Beach? In an hour?

Ashley: Sure. See you then!

I grabbed my guitar and headed to the beach. It was a short skate but I wanted some time to clear my head. Why would he send that text? Who does he think he is? All he has ever been is mean.

I sat down on the warm sand off to the side of the beach. It was still really early so I was the only one there. That I could see at least. I started strumming a few chords on my guitar and then started to sing a song I wrote about my dad.

(I KNOW THIS IS A TAYLOR SWIFT SONG, BUT PRETEND ASHELY WROTE IT PLEASE!!)

Drew's POV

I decided to head to the beach now, just to walk and stuff. I like going there in the morning because no one is there and it is so quiet and peaceful. I decide to walk there and when I get there I hear someone singing. Someone with an incredible voice. I walk a little bit further when I see a head of red hair. Ashley.

Play the song now ---->

"You, with your words like knives

And swords and weapons that you use against me

You have knocked me off my feet again

Got me feeling like I'm nothing

You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard

Calling me out when I'm wounded

You picking on the weaker man

You can take me down with just one single blow

But you don't know, what you don't know...

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?"

I just stood there by a tree watching her, and listening to her sing. She sang with so much passion and meaning... it was amazing. When she told me she was a little musical, I thought she meant she could play a little piano or something. This? This isn't a little musical. This is incredible.
