Chapter 5

"Like your new phone?" Ashton asked as he was driving out of the parking lot. "I love it. Thank you." I said as I pulled it out of my pocket playing with it. He smiled as we pulled into a McDonald's. "You don't have to eat a lot but at least try. Ok?" I slowly nodded and sighed as we pulled into the drive threw and ordered. We got nuggets and fries. We shared it. I had a few nuggets and fries. "Good job Abby! You actually ate something!" He said as he smiled and finished eating.

"Abby! Can you come down here?" I heard Ashton ask. "Coming!" I yelled back as I was going through the stuff he got me. He was so nice. I came downstairs and saw Ashton in the kitchen drinking coffee. "Hey Abby, can we talk for a minute?" He asked as he took a sip from his coffee. I nodded as I sat down. "What's up?" "Is there a reason why you're not eating as much as you should?" "What?" "I mean you don't really eat a lot and I was wondering why. I know you had a few nuggets and fries and that's good but you haven't been eating breakfast." "Ashton..." "Abby it's okay you can tell me." "I don't like talking about it. I already told you I just don't eat a lot in the mornings that's all." " Why not? You have to eat breakfast." I shrugged. "Abby come on talk to me. You can tell me anything." I signed. "Okay fine. It started when my step dad would hit me and starve me. He would do anything he could to hurt me. He always hated me." "I'm so sorry... What about your dad?" "He got married to someone else and had a baby. We used to do a lot of stuff together but as soon as they got married and had a baby it stopped. She would also hit me and yell at me. He's in jail for stabbing her." "Abby I'm really sorry." "It's fine..." "No it's not. You don't deserve to go through all that." "I know. Every one says that but they just say that. I just feel like they don't care." "Well I do." He said as he hugged me. But guess that was a lie. The second he let go he grabbed his phone and went to living room where the rest of guys were and started laughing and told them everything I told him. "Wow she actually thinks you care?" One of the guys said laughing. The same guy who slammed the door into my face. Tears started coming out of my eyes. I couldn't believe this. "Calum!" I heard Luke say. Calum. That was his name. I never knew.
Then I heard more laughing. "Abby..." Ashton said as I came into the room with tears in my eyes and no one even cared. "Don't. I can't believe I was stupid enough to believe that someone actually cared about me. I thought I was finally in a home where I was cared about but I guess I was wrong." I said as left the room crying and ran to my room.

I heard knocking but I just ignored it. "Abby! Open the door!" I heard Ashton say knocking louder. "Go away!" I said crying. "Abby come on open the door. I'm sorry okay?" "No you're just saying that. You don't really care about me. Just leave me alone." "Abby, I do care about you." "That's what everyone says but the next thing you know I end up back where I was" "Abby, We're not giving you up." I didn't say anything. "Now please open the door." I sighed as I opened it. Right when I turned the knob he hugged me. "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "No it's not. You've been treated like garbage all these years and you don't deserve that." "I know. But there's nothing we can do." I said as I sighed. "Are you gonna be okay?" I nodded. Even though I fully didn't forgive him but I've been through way worse. Way worse. But I got through it. Barely. But I did. Thanks to him.
