Love Me Like You Do

Chapter 10

♪Ashton's P.O.V ♪

I walked away from the only girl that has captured my attention since Selena's untimely death last year. It shocked me when she defended Michael from my stupid actions. I never expected her to be so confident. My whole world was shattered when Chelsea told her about the person she assumes I am. I couldn't believe it when she asked me if it was really true. She proved me wrong when I assumed she was the kind of person that always  follows other peoples advice/warnings. Maybe there is a chance for us to actually be in a relationship.

No Ashton. You can't think about her that way. Remember what happened to happened to Selena, you don't want that to happen to Elizabeth.I should probably listen to my subconscious about this. But I can't help but wonder what if we could really be something. This was all going through my mind while I was driving to who knows where. I didn't realize where I was until I pulled into the driveway of my house. The only constant thing in my life: my family and the house that I've spent my whole childhood in.

If only that childhood hadn't been taunted by my father's involvement with him doing drugs and then selling them. I don't know how my mom put up with him for fifteen years. Maybe she only stayed with him for Lauren and Harry's sake, but they were so young and couldn't really be affected by his actions. It might have been so Lauren and Harry would have some sort of father figure in their life. But he wasn't always there even when he was there he never spent any time with us. To add more to his imperfection he didn't just used to do drugs he also used to drink. Let's just say some days I wish I wasn't art home when he had his drinking binges.

All these memories hit me once I walked through the front door of my house. It made me realize how much I am starting to become my father. And that's the something I never want to happen but it's already starting to. My fist warning came when I got Selena killed once I told her that I'm in a gang. After a year of us dating she mysteriously disappears and was found four days later. Now I'm starting to hurt my best friend Michael that stood by my side once I joined the gang. What's next? Am I going to start pushing away my family too?

I can't let this get out of hand and cause more problems. Maybe it's best if I don't involve more people in my crazy as hell life. No more people should be hurt by the decisions my father made then and my decisions now. The only thing that made me stop from hurting Michael even more was Elizabeth. She could be the one to help me change for the better. But do I really want to involve Elizabeth in my dangerous life? Maybe I should try becoming friends with her first before thinking of "us" relationship wise.

That's it I'll do that. I just hope that Michael forgives me for being a jealous idiot and fighting with him. I'll wait until tomorrow to try and fix the damage done to our friendship.

♪Michael's P.O.V ♪

I slowly made my way up the path towards the front door of my house with Elizabeth right behind me. As soon as I unlocked the door and opened it I realized I forgot to tell her about Luke and Calum. Hopefully these two aren't doing anything stupid or else I'm going to have to pretend I don't know them. I slowly opened the door as of they were both going to come out and jump on me. But to my surprise they were nowhere in sight. It was odd not seeing them in the living room playing Fifa or another game. I'm not surprised that neither of my parents are are home considering they prefer their jobs over me, their son.
