Chapter 4

{{hello it's meee :) I just wanted to say I was listening to nirvana and BMTH while writing this so I have no idea what's gonna happen here, I'm winging it hah and also, Ashton's not a nerdy nerd, he's quite hot bad ya knooow and you know like a normal 17 year old minus the drugs and add a little more drama like self harm bullying eating disorders, etc}}

Ashton's POV

Michael would not shut up about not being there for me, and though I was secretly pissed that he wasn't there, but how could he have known? So I brushed it off and begged him to leave me be for a while. All this talking was causing my ribs to ache even more.

I felt eyes burning into me from behind Michael and my anxiety was starting to kick in. I snuck a quick glance in that direction to see who it was. My black eye started to throb and I winced in pain and looked back down to the ground. I don't think they noticed, but I see fire as I realise who was there. It was Luke, he looked homeless or something, his shirt was inside out and he had a massive stain in his jeans. Either that or he's just stupid. he despised Michael and vice versa. Michael hated him, and though I've never spoken to him ever I can't help but hate him aswell, he just looks like one of those douche jocks and from what I've heard, that's exactly what he is. Also, I've seen him with Jace a lot, so I have no trouble believing that.

Michael sighed and slumped his shoulders as he walked away, joining Louis near the pathway on the edge of the dying football field. I played with my bracelets, and decided to listen to music so I didn't feel as lonely. Why did I have to tell Michael to go away? He probably hates me now, good one ashton.

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Plain white T's quietly flowed through my earbuds and I can't help but think about my dad, we used to listen to it all the time, I'd beg him to sing it to me because it was one of my favourites and I found he had a beautiful voice. Don't cry ashton, not at school, for fucks sakes why do I want to cry about this anyways? It's pathetic.

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

I finally escaped my traumatised world and fell into the lyrics, allowing them to drown out everything around me.

{{haha hi sorry it's short and shitty but hey I'm going off like 2 hours of sleep a night and everything in my world is fucked up too, so I'm no john green at the moment, sorry :)}}
