"thank you, ash," i say after finishing my tea.
he nods and sits up from his chair, "anytime, el. want me to walk you home?"
"not really," i sigh, "i live with him."
"oh," a frown forms on ashton's face, "well that makes everything ten times harder. don't you have someone else to go to? like a family member?"
"my family live hours away," i inform him. i sigh, fiddling with my thumbs, "all i really have is niall."
"well... you can crash here," ashton says slowly like he's a little skeptical about his decision, "until you find a place, that is."
"are you sure?" i ask.
"yeah," ashton smiles, "i wouldn't let you go back to that bastard."
