Chapter 4

I crumbled up the note and threw it to the other side of the room. Why did I have to take that shortcut? Why didn't just stick to the way I was suppose to go? I could've avoided the whole encounter with Ashton. What if my life is in danger? Perrie did say no one knew what he looked like and even if someone did then they're dead. I know what he looks like. Does that mean he's going to kill me? But I'm so young. I should've just turned around and walked away when I saw the fight. Why did I have to be so nosy? But why me? Ashton seems to have some sort of obsession with me. He obviously does since he knows where I live.

I repeat. A crazy, psychotic, dangerous, gang leader, knows where I live! Why couldn't we have stayed in the US. Life was so much simpler over there. If we had stayed I wouldn't even have met Ashton. He wouldn't know of my existence. I wouldn't be in this situation right now and I would be free to live a life where I didn't have to worry about Ashton coming to kill me just because I know what he looks like. Ugh this is so frustrating.

I check the clock on my nightstand and realize it's actually really late. It's better that I go to sleep now so that I could wake up early and get to school on time tomorrow. I'll have my dad drive me I don't want a repeat of this morning. I shuddered at the thought of another encounter with Ashton. You know what? I'm not going to even think about it. I don't want him to cloud my thoughts when I should focus on doing good at my new school the last thing I need is a distraction. I close my eyes and then slowly fall asleep. Hopefully this week will be better than today.

This week has been awful. It seems to be dragging on for so long and it never seems to end. It's now Friday and I am not looking forward to the weekend. I'll probably get stuck at home doing homework or studying. If I'm lucky I can probably convince my dad to take me shopping. But that's unlikely to happen. 

Right now I'm at school and making my way to the lunch room. As I walked in I saw the girls sitting at the table already chatting away. They never seem to stop talking. When I sat down Perrie turned her attention towards me. "So my birthday is tomorrow and I'm turning 18 so I'm going to have a party. It's going to be at the London Club and starts at 9. You should come. The other girls are going to be there too". "Yeah it'll be great if you came." Dani said. "Umm I don't know guys. I mean I'm not much of a party person. I've never even been to a club and I don't know what to wear." I said. "Oh come on, it'll be fun. Plus it's my birthday and I really want you there. Please please please with cherry on top" Perrie said looking at me with pleading eyes. "I mean I don't know I don't even have a present to give you. "You don't have to worry about that" Perrie said "I just want you to be there". "If it makes you feel any better I'll swing by your house at around 7 and we could get ready together." El said. I sighed knowing that they weren't going to take 'no' for an answer, "Fine. I'll go. But just for a bit." I said. "Yay! Thank you thank you thank you. We'll have so much fun. I promise." Perrie said. What did I get myself into?

 I looked over at the clock and saw that it was 6:50. I was sitting on the couch in the living room still waiting for El. I stood up from my seat making my way to the stairs about to go up to my room when I heard the doorbell ring. I turned around and walked towards the door. I opened the door and saw Eleanor standing there with a bag "hey" she said "hi come on in" I said while opening the door for her. "So are you ready?" she asked "I guess" while walking up the stairs until we reached my room.

I was kind of relieved that I was going out today, I can finally forget about all the stress i've been going through this week. I opened the door of my room and sat on my bed. "So do you have anything you're planning to wear" asked Eleanor. "Well no I was planning on you helping me with that"  "Ok so where's your closet" Eleanor asked "over there I said while pointing to it". She walked up to my closet and started rummaging through all my clothes making a mess out of all of it. She tossed some dresses on my bed, I'm guessing those are the ones she likes and others she cringed at and threw them back into my closet.
