I froze and slowly turned my head to see Ashton a few feet away.
"I have no idea what you are talking about" I lied, standing up and crossing my arms.
"stop the act, I heard everything, now explain." he ordered.
I stayed silent, not quite ready to tell anyone.
"fine, I guess I will just go talk to Luke" he began to turn around.
I reached out and grabbed his wrist while shouting "WAIT! I'll tell you"
"but can we go somewhere a bit more, private?" I asked, my eyes glued to the floor.
With my hand still on his wrist he began to lead us to a little closet, it had little space but at least no one would hear us.
I took a deep breath before beginning,
"Keith," I gulped, hating the way his name sounded.
"he is my ex, a bad one at that. I can't go into detail right now but, he is very, controlling and let's just say we didn't end on good terms. He didn't leave me go, willingly" I trembled slightly before I felt Ashton bring me into a hug.
"Its OK, you don't have to tell me anymore right now" he soothed me while I cried into his chest, most likely ruining his shirt.
I eventually stepped back, wiping my eyes before asking, "Why were you here in the first place?"
"I knew something wasn't right, I know I don't know you that well but, I knew you wouldn't act like this on purpose for no real reason. I know you like us" he replies and I swear I could hear the cheeky smile in his voice.
"you should tell the others though, especially Luke" he turned more serious.
"I will eventually but I, I'm not ready just yet" I promised.
"we should get going" Ashton said after a few minutes.
I nodded, knowing we would have to get ready for the show.
As we turned to go different ways, I grabbed his wrist once more.
"thank you" was all I said before continuing down the hall, "no problem" I heard him whisper.
I know, I'm terrible for not updating. I am so sorry.
