David's POV

I know Ashley probably hates me more than anything right now but I really had to do what I did it was the only way to get her to hate me enough to end it. I honestly had no choice to let go of the love of my life.

*Flashback*

As Liam pulls away in the car with Ashley I was determined to keep her as my fiance and I wanted to prove to them that I was good enough. Louis walks over to me as the car became a distance and looks at me in my eyes and tells me to sit down on the bench a couple of feet from us. We walk to it and he looks at me not even giving me a chance to speak

Louis: You cannot be her boyfriend

David: well I'm not I'm her fian...

Louis: *says before i finishes* and you will NOT marry is that clear

David: and why

Louis: because she deserves better than you and she's got alot going on right now and the last thing she needs is someone who can't support her.

David: I can support her

Louis: no you can't so I want you to stop seeing her and break up with her and disappear from her life

David: and what if I don't

Louis: either you do that or me and the other's will gaurentee to make your life hell till the day you die and we WILL move Ashley away from you to an all girls boarding school and make sure she has NO contact with anybody. So either you disappear from her or we will take matters in our own hands and make sure it's handled

David: you can't be serious? why would you hurt her?

Louis: hurting and looking out for someone is two different things now that I said what I needed to you make it happen as soon as possible before the weekend is that clear!

Louis gets up and walks away leaving to break down in tears and once I finally calmed down. I had an idea to break up with her well her break up with me so it would be less painful for her. I called my friend Abigail and asked for her to pretend to girlfriend for one night and she agreed once that was set I called Avan to let him know and I told him to act suprised and make it as real as he could and he agreed to it.

*End of Flashback*

Who knew he'd hit me so hard though. I have an ice pack on my cheek but at least I won't have to see her move i can just watch her from a distance from now.

Ashley's POV

My bottom is still sore alittle but my heart is more sore from the hurt it felt from david. I didn't know what to do or say I just stayed quiet as we took the bus to school. Class went by quickly and we didn't even look or say anything to eachother I just did my work I even got my homework done before school was over. Finally it was music class and we all get to our seats and Mr. Hudson walks in," ok class I'm going to pick two people to come up to the front and you will each sing a chorus of the song that's on your mind that speaks to you about the other" oh no please don't pair me with david what ever you do don't pair me with him ,"...Ashley with....." please don't say david please. He continues" David" DAMMIT HOW DO I ALWAYS GET SO LUCKY note the sarcasim. After he finished pairing guess who was first? yep you got it me and HIM. Me and him got to the front staring at eachother's eyes "so who will be going first?" Mr. Hudson said and I pointed to David not talking ," alright David go ahead and the minute he's done ease in Ashley with yours" and I nodded.

David: *looks at me*

Every night I lie awake

my thoughts come rolling in

love was won, love was lost

and loves that might have been

I see the ghost of long lost hope

and shattered broken dreams

I know it's time to carry on

it's harder than it seems

i gotta let it go

all the pain and strife

i gotta let it go

and move on with my life

i gotta let it go

it's time to let it be

i gotta let it go

and then I can be free

Me: I took a deep breath and sing with my eyes close as tears fall down

am i suppose to hang around

and wait forever?

last words that I said

but that was nothing but a broken heart talking

you know it wasn't what i meant

call me up, let me know you got this message

that I'm leaving for you

cause I hate that you left without hearing the words

I needed you to..

whatever it is out there

that you were missing here

well I hope you find it

what you're looking for

i hope it's everything you dreamed

your love could be and so much more

and I hope your happy

where ever you are

i wanted you to know that

and nothings gonna change that

i hope you find it

i hope you find it

tears was falling from my eyes and the room was completly silent as they stared at me and David and he says softly," Ashley..." as he tries to touch me I move away and walk out the classroom. I feel like my feet is moving on it's own because the tears are making it hard to see. I hear someone behind me calling my name from a distance but I ignore it because right now my mind isn't in the right place. I hear the footsteps behind me increase so I run to the girls bathroom and backed away to see what will happen. The person sighs after awhile and walks away and I just fall to my knees. I tried to keep myself together but I don't think I honestly am strong enough.
