Through The Dark (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 9: A Distract.

*Ashley's P.O.V*

*That Night*

"Hello, this is Ashley Blake's voice mail. I'm sorry for not answering immediately, but leave a message after the beep and I'm gonna call back, later. Bye!" I finished recording the voice mail message as I headed to sleep.

In the morning, I woke up to my alarm. It's 6:00 am and I had school, so I had to be at the bus stop by 7:00 am. I stood up from my bed, groaning. Just as I was about to walk to the bathroom, I tripped and fell on my face. 'Oh. what a nice way to start a Monday!' I thought to myself, sarcastically. I stood up, again, then went to the bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. Instead of going to shower, I went downstairs to greet my mother before she went to work.

"Morning!" I hugged her.

"Good morning, love!" She kissed my cheek.

"What have you prepared for breakfast?" I asked, smiling.

"Egg and pancakes. I know you like them on Monday, because you hate Mondays so much, and they cheer you." My mother said, knowingly.

"Aww! What can I do with you? I love you so much, mama!"

"I love you too, sweetie pie! Now, apparently, you haven't took a shower, yet. So, finish eating, quickly and take a shower before you become late for school. Bye!"

"Sure, mama! Bye bye!" I waved at her, watching her leave for her work. My mother is a nurse and she works full-shift, which means I barely see her, to provide me with my needs and to save me some money. My mother saving money for me was a secret from my dad. So, we kept it a secret between us, though I appreciated it so much. There was a strong bond between my mother and I, like really strong. She was not just my mother, but one of my best friends too. I told her everything. If I had a problem, I would rush and tell her to find a solution with me.

I got up and rushed to my room to see that it is 6:20 am. I took a shower and let the hot water relax my tense muscles. I got out of the shower and blow-dried my hair. My hair is light brown and it's naturally in waves. After I blow-dried my hair, I wore my uniform. I applied a little bit of pink blush, mascara and eyeliner. I styled my hair in a waterfall braid before I grabbed my bag that contained: homework of Math, which was some algebraic equations, English, which was writing a fictional horror story, Chemistry, which was search about some elements, and head out. I plugged my headphones and waited for the bus to come. I sat on the wooden bench, waiting for the bus till it comes. I was listening to 'Counting Stars' by 'OneRepublic' when I saw my best friend coming towards me. She lived few houses away from mine, so she came to the same bus stop.

"Hey, Ashley!"

"Heya!" I paused my music to have a talk with her.

"How're ya, girl?"

"I'm great, what 'bout you?"

"Same as you." She said, acting bored.

I laughed as I said, "I can't believe we're gonna finish school, soon!" I squeaked and squeezed her hand and that was when the bus stopped, right in front of us.

"Get in, girls! Good morning!" The bus driver, Samuel, said.

"Good morning, Samuel!" Chloe and I said in the same time. We were friends with almost everyone and the people who hated us were almost none, just the 'bitches' of the school.

I was in a deep sleep when I woke up to get ready for work and I found myself sweaty.

'Ugh! Does it have to be this dream, now?!' I say, disgusted from how sweaty I am.
