The Untold Story of Us

Chapter Four

I continued walking, ignoring the texts I was getting. Gosh! I can't stand Lou he's such a jerk!!

I sighed and plopped onto the pier, curing my legs so I was sitting Indian style. I pulled out my phone,

Twenty seven messages from Blaire:

Babe? im sorry about lou you know I can't control his mouth

No matter how hard I try

Baaaaaaaaabe.........

Clarity?????

Clarity Rue Vine!!!! answer me!!

Clarity?? Boo? Babe? Friend?

Clarity

Clarity!

You do know that I will hunt you down

And I will find you

And make you happy

Like you do for me

Please answer me!!

I stopped reading them about halfway through when one caught my eye

Clarity please answer Blaire she's freaking out and everyone is yelling at Lou

That one was from Ashton

I sighed and replied to Blaire

Boo I'm fine I'm just at the pier I need a moment

Someone sat next to me.

"Does he do that a lot? Insult you because of your piercings?"

I nodded and looked over to the sound of an Australian accent.

"More than a lot." I mumbled.

"Why?" he asked

"Because he thinks everyone who has more than their ears pierced is a punk and that they are disgusting. He's a few words that I would like to say but can't. " I said, leaning back.

"Well I like your piercings. I find them interesting and unique." Ashton said, putting his hand on my shoulder.

I smiled "Thanks Ashton."

Climbing out the back door, didn't leave a mark. No one knows its you Miss Jackson. Found another victim but no ones gonna find Miss Jackson, Jacks-

I picked up my phone

"Yes Blaire?" I said

"Um Clarity, I was told to apologize-" Lou's voice was loud and obnoxious before I hung up on him.

"Douche" I mumbled as I placed my phone next to me.

"Why don't you come back to the group? We'd all like you to come back. And you get to see Lou being pressured to apologize like he means it." Ashton laughed quietly while he said that.

I shrugged "Might as well."

Ashton stood up quickly and held out his hand. Which I just noticed are absolutely ginormous.

I grabbed it and he pulled me up.

"Your hands are super small" he said, still holding onto my hand.

"Your hands are super big" I replied.

He nodded "Yeah I've been told. "

We walked silently for a while until he stopped and stood in front of me and crouched down.

"Get on! We'll get there faster!" he said

"I don't know. . ." I trailed of, trying not to sound eager.

"C'mon, please?" he whined

I giggled and put my hands on his bare, tan shoulders, he lived in Australia of course he's tan! I jumped and he stood, adjusting me a little.

"Forward my loyal steed!" I shouted, pointing ahead of us at the large bonfire.

He laughed and ran.

We laughed the whole way, at one point he had to stop because he was laughing to hard.

My arms were wrapped around him tightly but not so tight as to choke him.

"Clarity Rue Vine!! You scared me almost to death!!" Blaire blared, rushing towards us.

I shrugged, "Blame your boyfriend"

Ashton nodded, his curly blonde hair flopping down onto his forehead, "Yeah!!"

I giggled, poked his dimple and asked "Let me down?"

He nodded, letting my legs go and setting me down onto the sand.
