So I don't have school today because it's a holiday in Canada (Victoria day) so I decided to update. I also updated my other story in love with my bully on Saturday. If you haven't read it you should check it out along with my other stories.

I know a lot of Americans are getting out soon but I don't get out until the end of June but I don't go back until September.

Well anyways enough rambling onto the story.

When Ashton wakes up his house is eerily quiet. He looks through his curtains, which are black like everything else in his room, and notices it's dark outside. That means his parents didn't even call him for dinner.

Ashton grabs his phone as his stomach growls and sees that it's 12:00, am of course. He thinks that maybe he can just try and fall back asleep and ignore his stomach so he doesn't have to risk waking his parents to get food. That's easier said than done however and after about ten minutes he just can't take it anymore.

Ashton quietly makes his way over to his sock drawer and grabs a pair of socks and slips them on. The socks will make it easier to sneak around since they're quieter than bare feet. Ashton's gotten pretty good at this from sneaking in the mornings after he'd partied.

He has to be extra quiet though because usually it's just his mother Ashton has to try not to wake. Now it's his mother and father and his father has always been a extremely light sleeper. Not to mention if his mother found him she'd only scold Ashton, while his dad would most likely hit him again.  Ashton already has two hand marks on his cheeks, he doesn't need anymore bruises.

He quietly opens the door and tiptoes cautiously down the stairs. It's a good thing his room is right near the stairs and  he doesn't have to walk past his parents room.

Ashton tiptoes through the front hall and living room and finally makes it to the kitchen. He doesn't  turn the light on, not wanting to risk anything, and instead uses the light from his phone to see.         He  picks the snack that is the quietest to eat, which is some fruit. Ashton then makes his way back to his room just as carefully as before and makes it back without getting caught. God must not completely hate him then.

Ashton goes on his phone as he eats and plays piano tiles. Eventually he gets frustrated of the game and decides to text his friends to see if they're up. Asthon doesn't text Amy though because he knows she'll be asleep and doesn't  want to wake her. After a few minutes Michael texts back.

Hey Ash, Cal and I are about to go to a party do you want to come?

-Mike

Ashton's first instinct is to say no, because his father finds out he'll be in huge trouble. Ashton  then realizes he's already gotten into trouble and there's not much else his father can do. He might hit Asthton again but Ashton can survive it. Ashton knows there's no way he'll be able to fall back asleep and a party does sound like a lot of fun right now. Well they always do. Besides this might be Ashton's only chance to party before he's shipped off to England.

Sounds great! But be extra quiet tonight my dad's here :/

-Ash

Michael texts back seconds later.

Are you sure want to come then? I wouldn't risk it with him. He scares the shit out me.

-Mike

Ashton has to bite his lip to keep from laughing, Michael isn't scared of anything or anyone.
