The Unexpected Pair

~ Chapter 1 ~

" I hate you John! You are the worst husband ever! I can't believe I ever married your sorry ass."

"Well Samantha, you are a horrible wife! I never loved you. You are the worst thing to ever happen to me!" 

And with that, my dad slammed the front door to our perfect house. Leaving behind me and my mom. I have never seen my parents fight, and if that's what it is like? I never want to see it again. 

~1 day later~

I am numb. I have no dad anymore. I have no mom anymore. My mom hasn't left, but she hasn't spoken to me either. She said I remind her too much of dad. I can't get ahold of him, his cell phone was disconnected. Didn't he love his only daughter? I thought he loved me. I guess not. 

I guess I should tell you about me. I am 17 years old, and a high school student at Evercrest high. I had the perfect family. Beautiful parents who never fought, and enough money too. We have a big house, and a dog, it was perfect. Until yesterday. My parents fought, and my dad left. I don't think I will see him again...

Anyways, like I was saying, 17, at Evercrest high. I have naturally straight black hair, and vivid blue eyes.  I have a few close friends and I'm not popular, nor am I a loner. I guess I am just in between. My close friend Emily is my rock. She is always there for me, and I trust her with everything. What else should you know? Oh yes, there's this one guy at Evercrest... His name is Ashton and he hates everyone. You know those typical bad boys? Well he is definitely one of them. I think he has all of 2 friends at Evercrest. He shows up for class once in a blue moon. Oh and he has tattoos too, sleeves at that. Its pretty hot, but I would never date him. Me dating Ashton Elliot? Yeah right. Ashton has brown hair, and as for eye colour, I actually don't know. I have never been close enough to him to see.

My name is Dezeray Carters, and this is my fucked up life. 

~~~~~~

I can't do this, I am a wreck. My mom said she hates me and I feel so alone. I left the house about an hour ago, and it is now 12:00am. I have my phone on me, but its almost dead so it isn't much help to me. When I left the house, I slammed the door and took off on foot, it was a stupid idea. I have been walking non-stop for the past hour and I have managed to get myself somewhere I do not know. Can my life get any worse? 

Okay, I just need to calm down, just sit down and think for a bit. I decide to keep walking a bit, and sit down close to a street light. I know one thing for sure about where I am. I am in the bad part of town, and no one is around me.

~~Ashton's POV~~

Fuck! My life couldn't get any worse. I try to do something good, and it backfires on me. Well you know what mom? I don't need you. I can manage on my own. I am Ashton Elliot and I do what I want. 

Currently it is about 12:30am and I am walking around the streets. To the left of me, across the street I hear a muffled sob, or what sounds like one anyways. Who could it be though, almost no one is around this side of town. Especially at this hour! Deciding that I should see if they are alright, I cross the street.

"Um, hey are you alright?" I stand in front of this girl, who is crying. I'm not sure I know her, but I do know she needs to be comforted. I may be a bad ass, but I know how to treat a girl.

Quietly this girl replies to me, "U-uh I'm okay... Please, please don't hu-hurt me."

"I would never hurt you. Please tell me what's wrong. I just want to help." I seriously hate seeing girls cry. I know she said she was okay, but its obviously a lie. I sit down beside her against this old brick building. Cross legged, I look at her right side, waiting for her to look up from her position. From here I can make out that she has nice black hair, no tattoos, that I can see of course, and she kinda looks like a typical good girl. Definitely not my type that's for sure. The street light doesn't give off enough light to make out more but when she turns her face to me, I realize that I recognize those blue eyes from somewhere.
