Ashlynn's POV

"Ashton, you can stop following me now, I'm a big girl and I'm buying everyone gifts, which may include getting you one," I whined playfully shoving him.

"Okay fine.." He grumbled walking out in an overly dramatic diva way. I chuckled and shook my head.

I really want to get him something special for helping me. It is just a really weird thought that We hated each other's guts not even two weeks ago. I honestly never thought we'd be such good friends. I don't know how to thank him. I can never thank him enough. I also need to get my family something for helping me and actually care for me. I never really experienced it with my foster family, but they are history.

I went into Hot Topic. It seems to be his style. I look around at all the band T shirts and TV show shirts and other outfits also with other accessories and candy. I looked around the store going through some racks of clothes and I saw matching superman and superwoman jerseys. Got to get them. Like now. I grabbed the two shirts and looked around a bit more and got him some candy and checked out the stuff. Thank got for the credit card I have from my old family. I think they forgot they gave it to me, considering they have too much money to notice.

I was done shopping. Now I'm on my way to the food court where I meet Ashton. I bought Luke a new black hoodie and a GameStop gift card, which I got Ashton one too. I also bought myself some clothes for me enough to live with at home for a while until I get my clothes back from.. There. Then, I bought my mom a very nice gold necklace with a moon and star charm with little diamonds on it I remember distantly that the moon and stars were our thing.

~flashback~

"Mommy! Luke! Look at the moon and stars!" I yell. I ran around jumping and pointing at the stars.

"No!" Luke whined continuing to play in the sandbox with his toys.

"Come lay down and look at them with me, silly goose," she chuckled patting a place next to her. I laid beside her cuddling up to her. We did this every weekend. It was always a "mommy and Ashie thing." We sat there in silence looking at the moon and stars.

"Mommy.. Are you and daddy happy again?" I ask. I was so oblivious to the whole situation, and so was Luke.

"Baby, everything happens for a reason. Just know I'll always love you and will always be here for you, and Luke," she sighed.

"What about daddy?" I asked confused.

"Baby, you'll-" she got interrupted by daddy came outside. That's when it happened-

~End of flashback~

"Hello? Ashlynn, what's the matter?" I hear instantly snapping back to reality. I felt tears on my face- and people staring. Oh gosh, I probably looked like a fool.

"Oh- yeah, I'm fine," I croak. He looked at me in disbelief, obviously since I was crying.

"No you're not," he said bluntly.

"I just had a flashback of my last night with my mom, nothing serious," I shrugged. He nodded in understanding.

"Well, let's go get your mind off things and let's go eat, yeah?" He asked pulling me further in the food court.

Ashton's POV

After eating in a little pizza restaurant in the mall, we decided to go home. I dropped her off at Luke's, and well, technically her house too, now. I then made it to my place. I walked in to my scared mom and Harry and Lauren huddled on the couch as my dad towers over them. I am fed up with his shit. I can't stand seeing my mom and siblings, and sometimes me be so scared of this man.

"STOP! What the fuck dad?! Stop doing this! You are scarring Lauren and especially Harry! You make mom an emotional wreck! Now back the fuck away!" I growled getting up in his face. Next thing I know, he shoves me back.

"Listen here, little boy, I run this fucking house, not you! So go kill yourself or something!" He roared. His words hurt, but I'm not going to give up over hurtful words.

My jaws clenched as my knuckles were balled up and then I swung at him without thought. And then again, and again, and again.

"No, how about you do us all a favour and leave. We don't want you or need you in our lives!" I spat. He reversed and punched me back. And again. And again. I felt warm blood trickle down my lip, and I'm sure I had a black eye, but it could be worse.

"I ain't going nowhere," he evilly chuckled putting me in a choke hold. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to give up, but there was nothing I could do.

"Let go of him! You're choking him!" I hear Lauren yell. He quickly let go and bent over in pain. She must of kicked him in the crotch. That's my girl.

He got up a few seconds later and smacked her across her face making her fall to the floor.

"Now, try that again, stupid bitch!" He spat. I was beyond pissed at this point. He hit her. Hard. It's on.

"You-" "don't-" "EVER-" "TOUCH-" "HER!" I yell scream between punching him. And I didn't stop. He should never touch a female like that! Especially his own daughter. She didn't deserve that. I ran him in a wall after a bit more punches, which occasionally he punched back, but I knocked him out.

I heard police sirens outside soon after. My mom went to hug me along with Harry and Lauren.

"Who called the cops, by the way?" I asked in relief. Mom and Lauren shrug and Harry took the house phone from behind his back doing a cheeky grin.

"I did a awesome job!" he exclaimed. I smiled at the smart decision the little boy made.

"Good job, I'm so proud!" I smile picking him up and spinning him around, which he laughed and squealed and playfully punching me.

Mom let the cops in to inform them what happened. I wasn't in trouble, because it was self defense. There doesn't even have to be a court case over it, because of all we told, so he don't get any custody and he is going to jail. We are finally a free family. No more worries, no more pain, just happiness. My life is complete.
