Emma's POV
I ran down the stairs, and looked down quickly. I saw my arm, my wrist exposed and then the cuts. Had Ashton seen them? I don't want sympathy. I just want to die sometimes.
I reached the end of the corridor and I heard the footsteps behind me. Ashton..run. My legs were quicker than my mind, I ran as fast as I could, in an unknown direction, with no idea where I was. Smart Emma, real smart. He probably didn't even see my cuts.
No sooner than I had stopped running when the blonde haired boy caught up to me. He smiled lightly, face red, breathing heavily. "Holy shit you're fast." he said clutching his knees and bending down to catch his breath. I smiled, "Ash, you should probably go, you have to perform in-" I checked my phone, "twenty minutes." I said pushing him slightly. "Okay, I should, goodbye Emma." he said smiling and jogging in the other direction. Okay, he didn't see the cuts, good. I set off to find Harry and the boys.
Ashton's POV
I couldn't tell her I saw her scars, I don't have the heart, or the courage. I guess it's just going to have to be a secret. I turned the corner and found the door marked '5SOS' I opened the door and then the yells came. "ASHTON IRWIN WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Lou yelled at me while doing Michael's hair. Her back was to me, and I saw her in the mirror, she was smiling and laughing. She was kidding, my eyes searched the room for my stage clothes. I spotted them on a rack in the corner. I quickly grabbed them and went into the changing room, area, thing. I changed then walked out of the room, only to be thrown into a chair so my hair could be done. Why do I even need my hair done?
After we were all dressed and ready for the show, we went out onto the stage and did a sound check. That went by quickly and soon enough people were pouring into the theatre. Then it was finally time to play. I grabbed my drumsticks and the boys and I walked on stage. The screams filled the room and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I sat down on the drum stool and spoke, "DETROITTT. HELLO EVERYONE ARE YOU READY TO SEE 4 AWKWARD BOYS FAIL AT MAKING MUSIC?" I yelled into my microphone, laughing. A series of yells filled my ears and then the adrenaline hit. " 1,2,3,4!" I yelled signaling to start Try Hard. The boys immediately followed and Luke's voice filled my ears.
She's dropping outta school cause she don't need the grades.
The colors in her hair don't seem to fade
I get dressed up when I go out, but she gets dressed out.
Well she's seventeen I told her I'm twenty, I couldn't take her out cause mom's got no money
It's stuff a like this that makes me wish that I could change somehow
Sitting here alone
It's obvious
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding hard cause she makes me feel she makes me feel
Like I try like I try like I'm trying to hard again
My eyes searched for Emma, was she in the crowd? Where was she? I finally found her, she was standing, smiling a mile wide, staring directly at me. I grinned at her and gave a wink. The rest of the concert was amazing, we answered questions, Luke and Michael humped each other, and yeah, just a basic concert for us. We thanked everyone for having us and walked off stage, the boys walked onto stage starting to sing Loved You First while my boys showered and laughed with each other.
A couple minutes after I got out of the shower, someone knocked on the door. I got up, shirtless, and opened it. Emma was standing there, her head snapped in my direction when the door opened. She looked down, saw me shirtless and giggled and blushed. "Hey, can I hang out with you guys for a little bit? I'm bored as hell" she said raising her eyebrows. "Yea sure, of course." I said letting her in. "Although I warn you, all the boys pretty much ever do is play Call of Duty on the X Box." I said grabbing a water from the fridge. "Amazing." she said smirking. What's she up to?
She sat down on the couch with Michael and Luke, who were of course, playing CoD. The smirk still lingered on her face. "Wanna play?" Michael asked turning to her. She turned her face confused and dumbfounded. Oh I have to see this, I sat down on the other couch and watched. "Well, sure I guess, but I've never played before, I'll try and figure it out" she said after being handed a controller.
Michael started the game and Emma's smirk got even wider than imaginable. The game went on for about 10 minutes. "I-I can't believe you beat me. N-nobody beats me." Michael said, shocked. "Okay let me play her, if she can beat me, them she's good. Luke started a game and the battle was on.
Twenty minutes and seven games later, three boys stood, mouths hanging open at the fact a girl had beat them. "How in the hell are you so good?!" Mike yelled turning towards her, "You even beat me!" he added. "I though you didn't even know how to play?" Luke said. "I'm a level 55 Commander so shut your mouths." she said smirking and grabbing a water. "HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE I'M ONLY A LEVEL 34!" Michael yelled. Emma laughed. "CoD is what I do like 70% of my time, it's almost as fun as Assassin's Creed three, that's a fun game." she said taking a sip from her water. I stayed quiet the whole time. Little did I know I was falling for Emma, more and more every second.
------------------
You guys have gotten a new chapter every day for the past three days. Y'ALL ARE LUCKY. This chapter was really fun to write. I figured I'd include CoD because that's basically my favorite game. Well that's it for tonight, love you! HALLOWEEN IS TOMORROW YAYYA!
