Monday. Everyone hates Monday's. Especially Ashton. He groaned as he heard 'I miss you' by blink 182 blasting through his phone.

He quickly turned his alarm off and laid back down in bed which was a mistake.

-
"Ashton, you mother fucker! Get up!" Ashton's dad screamed.

"I'm so sorry" ashton said while trying to get up quickly but failed when his dad slapped him.

"faggot." was all ashton heard before he ran to his bathroom. His dad did not take the news well when ashton told him he liked boys.

Ashton took a quick shower and brushed his teeth and hair. When he looked into the mirror he noticed he had a black eye. Great.

Ashton glanced at his phone and noticed it was 8:02am. Class starts at 8:30. Shit.

Ashton ran into his room and threw on black skinny jeans and a nirvana shirt. He put a red bandanna in his hair and put on his vans.

He grabbed his phone and car keys, then ran downstairs and out the door before he could be harassed by his dad again.

He got in his car and turned the radio on which blasted 'smells like teen spirt' by nirvana. He smiled since it was a favorite of his. Ashton sang loudly to the song, feeling slightly happy.

He got to school. Late.
Ashton walked to the front office.

"why are you late sweetie?" The front office lady spoke sweetly.

"overslept." ashton mumbled with his head down to cover the black eye.

He was handed his tardy slip and he walked to first period.
-
"well look who finally decided to show up." Mr.Deon sassed

"I'm sorry" ashton mumbled again and handed him his tardy slip.

Ashton turned to walk to his desk and his eyes met with Luke. Ashton had strong feelings for the boy but knew luke would never feel the same.

"What are you staring at princess?" Zayn sneered. The boys at school called him princess because he was gay. "N-nothing" ashton stuttered.

Ashton tried to make his way to his seat but he was tripped.

"watch where you're walking princess" michael yelled.

"that's enough boys." the teacher said, raising  his voice

Ashton just wanted to cry. Cry cry. But he didn't want to show everyone how weak he really was. He was extremely weak. Ashton was dying inside.

••
Class finished and ashton didn't pay attention at all, which was unlike him. He was just falling apart in every way.

Ashton wondered if he would ever be happy again. If he could ever even have a normal life.

Ashton was brought out of his thoughts when he was slammed to the floor. Ashton's head was ringing and everything was blurry. "o-ow" ashton said in pain

. "hey princess want help? ha too bad." a guy sneered.

"what the hell guys?" yelled someone, ashton couldn't tell who that person was though.

Someone came running over to the boy and picked him up and brought him to the bathroom. Everyone was still blurry and ashton was in pain and confused.
-
"hey bud, are you okay?" someone asked quietly.

he recognized the voice as luke hemmings.

"l-luke?" ashton asked.

"yeah it's me, how are you feeling?" luke asked while he dabbed at ashton's bloody nose with a paper towel.

"i'm in pain but why are you helping me?" ashton asked.

"you needed the help so i'm here." luke responded smoothly.

"t-thanks. It means a lot." ashton said quietly.

Luke and ashton's eyes met and they looked into each other's eyes for a minute until luke cleared his throat.

"hey, let's get you to the nurse okay?" luke asked. Ashton only nodded

Once they got to the nurses luke left quickly and ashton couldn't help but feel sad. There is no chance he would like him back. So ashton thought anyway.
