The boy next door

The project

When I got home I turned on the shower ignoring whatever the twins and my mom were doing and took a blade out of the cabinet on the mirror and slowly started cutting my skin open. I watched as the blood dropped down the drain completely ignoring it. All I wanted to do was break down it was all Ashton's fault... and that's horrible to say but he picks on my every single day and I think, does he ever wonder how I feel? About this everything no, no he doesn't. I grabbed my sneakers and some sweats throwing my hair in a bun and putting on a sweater. And made my way over to the house right beside mine I knocked a few times and ashton answered. We went into his room but I didn't see anyone else just me and him. "Hey um I'll work on writing about the environment" I said shyly he just nodded his head and we continued to work.

Ashton's P.O.V
I watched her write the words down on the sheet as a piece of her chestnut hair draped over her face from out of the bun. Damn she looked like a hot mess. I analyzed what she was wear and I noticed blood seeping through her sleeve. "Hey Ari um... Your bleeding" I said quietly she just looked at her sleeve looking at me shocked was it cause I said her name? Instead of bear. She just slowly stepped away from me and I placed a right grip on her arm and slowly lifted her sleeve up she was trembling. I saw the cuts the scars the everything. Some said ugly,worthless. And shit like that why was she doing this to her self? I didn't say anything but I slowly started wrapping a bandage around her arm. She looked at me with terror as if I was the one doing this. All i really wanted to do was hug her so I did and pulled her into a tight one I could tell she was was blushing. "Hey um I have a sweater you could borrow If you want it" I chocked holding my tears back. She just nodded her head and I went to my closet pulling one of my nicest sweaters out handing it to her. And I turned away as she changed out of one shirt to the other... I could barley control myself over her beauty. I wanted to call her mine I wanted to be there for her. "Hey um Ashton thank you so much... I'm gonna head home okay can we finish this later ?" She said wiping a bit of her tears away. I wish I could just tell her she was so beautiful. "Yeah um I'll walk you home alright?"I mumbled. We would out of the house and I slowly intertwined my hand with hers. I looked at her and she looked back.her cheeks were a deep red. I didn't really need to walk far because her house was literally right next to mine.

Ariana's P.O.V
I watched as Ashton walked away from my house... so much happened in the past two hours I don't even know what to think. Honestly I still have time to meet up with Kai. I slowly let my hair out of the bun keeping Ashton's sweater on and I through on some
Maskara and walked to Kai's house at least 7 houses down from mine . I knocked on the door slowly and he answered pulling me inside. "Hey Ariana where did you go?" He said awkwardly chuckling.
"Well basically me and Ashton had this project as you know and I couldn't get out of it sadly" I said smiling. I can't believe he found out that I actually cut... he wouldn't say anything if he respects me right? Me and Kai sat on his couch apparently his mom was still helping out with charity. I've never been this close to Kai I was slowly eating popcorn I love popcorn Bahaha. I looked over at Kai and he "yawned" putting his arm over me what a typical boy move. But my crush was actually putting his arm over my shoulder... I looked at him smiling and he looked at me and we moved a bit closer so I was resting my head on his shoulder. The movie was suppose to be scary but it really wasn't to be honest. I was a bit tired starting to fall asleep on Kai's shoulder. He looked at me blushing. The next thing I knew Kai was asleep next to me and I woke up looking at my
Phone seeing 7 missed calls from my mom and like 20 texts from her. Shit I looked at the time and it was 2am I slowly got off Kai and began putting on my sneakers walking out of his house and making my way back to mine. I'm such a dumbass. I walked into my house quietly to see my mom sitting at the kitchen table crying. And she looked over to me. "where have you been Ariana? Do you even know what time is it have you been drinking?? You do realize you have school tomorrow" she said sobbing. "Yeah mom I was just at a friends house not to far from ours okay? Don't worry I'm just gonna go to bed" I said quietly walking up the stairs and she followed behind "Were going to talk about this tomorrow" she whispered. I nodded my head crashing onto my bed.
