Chapter 2

*Monday*

Kaitlyn's p.o.v:

I look over and see a guy with the same curly hair as Ashton being thrown onto the ground.

"E! We have to help him!" I yell tugging the sleeve of his shirt, "Sadie, please! Someone!"

Sadie and Ethan run over to the scene, pulling the two boys apart. I look at the other guy, his bottom lip was sticking out, cut with blood. His light brown hair was hanging over his eyes. I've never seen him before but there was something about him that I knew. His eyes widened as he seen me run to the scene.

I leaned an arm against Ashton's shoulder, his swollen eye was slowly starting to change color.

"Bad first day back?" I try to get him to smile and it kind of works but he's in so much pain. I frown as I feel terrible for him, "Ethan, can we drive him to my place? I'll clean him up."

Ethan nods, pushing the brown haired guy out of his grasp with a dirty look. I heard him whisper something to him as he scowled.

I took another look at the other boy and I examined his broad shoulders and chiseled jaw. "Are you okay?" I ask him.

He shakes his head, I felt guilty for the both of them.

He ran his fingers through his hair, looking as if he's about to cry. His glossy eyes met mine as he shook his head, giving Ethan one last glare before he turned on his heel and began walking away from the scene.

I frown and grab Ashton's arm, leading him to Ethan's car with Ethan and Sadie behind us.

"Thank you, Kate." Ashton said, forcing a smile.

"No problem," I replied, opening the door for him and getting in the backseat beside him. "Who started the fight?" I ask.

He shrugged, "we fight all the time, I stole his girl a long time ago and he's never let go of it."

I nod my head as Ethan started the car, turning on the radio.

.....

Ethan pulls into my driveway and I lead everyone up to my front porch, taking out my key to open the door.

"My mother is at work but you guys can't touch anything breakable or my head will be on a stick." I say, letting them in. "Ashton, bathroom is upstairs to the right." I point to the stairs.

"Ping pong, downstairs. You're going down." Ethan narrows his eyes at Sadie who quickly races down the stairs.

"Don't ruin my comfy fort!" I yell down at them, looking for my first aid kit.

"Too late!" I hear Sadie yell as I let out a groan.

I grab the first aid kit and head up to the bathroom, pushing open the door to see Ashton sitting on the sink, waiting patiently.

I walk over and stand between his legs, taking a good look at his swollen face up close. I catch his hazel eyes and feel my cheeks heat up a bit.

I grab a cloth from the drawer, lightly wetting it under the tap. I take Ashton's chin in my hand, carefully examining his black eye.
