Let Me Save You {P!aTD}

Ashton's POV

it's been exactly two years since my family and I moved from Las Vegas to Detroit. My parents say we only moved because they thought it'd be nice if we lived in a calmer environment, but I know that that's not the truth. All of middle school and through out my first year of high school I was bullied. i would never talk to my parents about it, but the school counselor caught on to what was happening and told my parents. I guess my parents thought it'd be best if they didn't talk to me about it. that's ok though, I like it better here in Michigan. the weathers not as hot and I've made a few friends here.

"Ashton! Dinners ready!" I hear my mom yell upstairs.

"Okay mom, I'll be down in a second!"

gosh, she's gotten good at this yelling thing, considering how echoey this house is.
see, in Vegas we lived in a tiny little house right outside of the city so you didn't have to yell if you needed somebody in another room.

I walk downstairs and sat down at the table.
I look across to find my parents both staring at me.

"what?" I ask.

my mom nudges my dad nervously and then he nudges her back.
oh god, this can't be good.

my mom rubs the back of her neck nervously.
"Ok Ashton..we need to talk to you.."

"Ok, what about?"

"Your dad hasn't been liking his job here in Michigan. the pay isn't good enough for us to be able to pay taxes and still have enough money to buy food and clothes."

that's it?
"mom, you've told me this before."

She looks down at her plate.
"I know sweetheart, but that isn't the problem."

"well?"

"Your dad quit his job."

My eyes immediately shoot over to my dad.
"What?! Dad what on earth makes you think quitting your job will help us get the amount of money we need?!"

My mom gestures for me to calm down.
"Ashton." she looks me straight in the eyes, it's been a while since she has ever since she caught me cutting back in Nevada. "Ashton, we're moving back to Las Vegas."

"huh. all of a sudden I don't feel hungry anymore."
I immediately excuse myself from the table and run upstairs and lock myself in my room.

{oh my gosh I'm sorry this was so crappy. it's basically just the intro. I swear it'll get better xD}
