Toxic Devotion

Chapter 7: Parties dont end up so well

(The pic above is what ashley will be wearing at the party)

Ashley's p.o.v

I wasn't really one to dress too fancy at a party, so I just wore something cute and comfortable, I curled my hair and then went at Sarah's. She did my make up, cause I was catastrophic at that.

'Just make sure not to dump my ass at the party' she said as I laughed.

'Of course not!' I placed my hand on my heart.

'Well since we're ready, lets go!' She cheered.

Her mom dropped us at Liam's house before leaving.

'So many people' I whispered at Sarah as I eyed the place. It's so crowded.

'C'mon lets have fun!' She dragged me in.

'Um hey Sarah' Tyler, a guy from school greeted her.

'Hi tyler' Sarah smiled.

'Can I get you a drink?' He asked.

'Sure' Sarah answered.

He then left to get her a drink.

'Looks like you will be the one dumping my ass after all' I winked at her.

'Hey ashley' Liam said coming towards me.

'Hi Liam' he kissed me on my cheek.

'Enjoying the party?' He asked.

'Yeah' I sighed.

'It didn't even start yet' Sarah whispered. I wanted to laugh but I controlled myself.

'I need to go make sure that everything is alright with the DJ, I'll be back' he assured me before leaving.

Tyler came back so I felt really awkward between those two.

'Im gonna go get a drink' I told them.

I took a drink and sat on a table alone, not that I mind.

'Aw why are you alone ash?' Ugh. Dylan.

'Why do you keep coming outta nowhere?' I asked. But he just shrugged.

'Where's your prince Liam? He already dumped you' Dylan laughed.

'No he's busy with the DJ' I said.

'Sure about that darling?' He smirked.

'Yeah, why?' I asked.

'It seems like prince Liam is not as innocent as you think he is' Dylan chuckled.

'Maybe your just jealous, cause he's more of a man than you'll ever be' I spat.

'That's the second time you question my manhood darling' he raised his eyebrows at me.

'You're going to call your gang?' I cooed.

'Does it bother ya?' He winked at me.

'Just leave me alone' I turned my head.

'Come with me and I'll show you who's the real man' he said standing up.

'What if I don't want to' I rolled my eyes.

'Trust me you're gonna want to see this' he nodded.

I followed him into Liam's house, he went upstairs and I was still following him.

'See it yourself' Dylan said pointing at the door.

The room's door was a bit open, I saw a girl on top of a guy making out with him on a bed, soon enough, I realized that guy was Liam. I was shocked. I backed away and went downstairs immediately, Dylan was following me.

'Told you so' he shook his head.

'Leave me alone' I yelled.

I was walking really fast.

'Hey calm down' Dylan said catching up with me.

'I-thought he liked me' I said.

'Don't be that naive ashley' Dylan sighed.

'Go back to the party I'm going home' I told him.

'Id rather stay with you instead' he said.

'Why?' I asked.

'Cause you're different' he said.

'Not again, that's exactly what Liam said, that I was different, I'm not falling for anyone's tricks anymore' I shook my head.

'I mean you went through a lot' he started, but I was really mad right now.

'Leave me alone Dylan' I screamed before storming off. I didn't want to go home, cause it feels like suffocating. And I just really want my brother right now. Where.the.fuck.are.you.Val.

I saw an alley so I just stood there leaning on the wall and cried. Ugh I miss him so much.

'Why are you crying love?'

I jumped.

A guy who looked in his late thirties asked... This is so creepy. Cincinnati's streets are not safe at all.

'Leave me alone' I turned around and wanted to leave but he pulled my arm and slammed me on the wall. He then got in my face.

'I think I asked you a question' he glared at me. He was holding my wrist.

'Let go' I yelled, but he wasn't having any of it.

'I said-' but someone behind him interrupted me.

'I said let go!' Dylan screamed before he grabbed the man and threw him on the floor, Dylan pounced on him and threw at him brutal punches. He grabbed the guy from his hair and repeatedly smashed his face on the floor.

Dylan then stood up kicked the guy twice, before he grabbed my wrist and started dragging me in the streets.

'Dylan-' I wanted to thank him but he interrupted me.

'Don't say anything' his voice full of anger.

'Thank you' I mumbled.

'What part of don't say anything didn't you understand?' He yelled.

'Wow chill what's wrong with you?' I asked annoyed.

'What were you doing in that alley, thank god I followed you, I didn't want to leave you alone cause I knew something bad was going to happen with you being in that state' he sighed frustrated.

'You're treating me like a kid!' I said.

'Because you're acting like one!' He facepalmed.

'Not true' I pouted. Okay maybe a little.

'You should go home c'mon' he said his voice calm again.

'Did he hurt you?' He asked looking at me with concern.

'No I'm okay' I told him.

Dylan just saved my ass
