Ash

I walked outside an saw Nathan sitting on the bench I walked over to him and said "how did the first day of 7th grade go?" he looked up at me and smiled and said "it was really cool I met this girl named Allie she is so cool!" I smile and ruffled his hair and we walked to my car he got in the passenger seat and turned on the radio and we sang all the way to his house.

We pulled into his drive way and climbed out and walked to the front door Nathan was about to open the door when a boy around my age with black with blonde highlights wearing all black opens the door and looked at Nathan an said "I don get a hug and a 'welcome back home bro!'?" Nathan jumped on him and hugged him an said "welcome home Bryson I've missed you" I chuckled quietly and Bryson looks at me and says "who are you?" I said "I would be your brothers bad ass babysitter right Nathan?" Nathan nodded his head rapidly and I smirked I ruffled his hair an said "tell your mom I said hi I go to go see you in the morning Nathan!" he jumped away from Bryson and gave me a hug which I returned and walked to my car an pulled out of his driveway and to my house.

At was sitting in my room for the next 4 hrs working on my homework when my phone started ringing I answered it and said "hello?" Nathan moms responded "hey Ashley me and my husband are going out to eat and I was wondering if you could" I cut her off "I'm on my way Mrs. Black" she said goodbye and I through on my shoes and told my parents I would be back soon and drove to Nathan's house, I pulled into their driveway and saw Mrs.Black on the front porch and I smiled and gave her a good hug and told her everything was going to be okay and to have fun, she left shortly after and I walked into their house and yelled slightly "Nathan your badass babysitter is here!!!" I heard footsteps running down the stairs and saw Nathan launching himself at me and I caught him and chuckled Nathan said "oh my brother is here with his band members by the way the music they play you might like" I smiled and we were talking when I hear someone coming upstairs I like over and saw Bryson and looked at me and said "why the hell are you here?" I stood up and went to get a drink and said "your mom asked me to baby sit your brother since your with your band practicing", I pulled out 2 cokes an tossed Nathan one and said "do you want one Bryson?" he said "yes I would if you'll tell me your name" I smirked and said "I'm Ash or Ashley but call me Ash if you don't want to die" he held his hands up in surrender an I smiled and handed him a coke and said "what kind of music do you play?" he looked at me funny and said "I don't think and pretty girl like you would like the music I listen to" I scoffed and said "you wanna bet?" he led me downstairs and said "guys this is Ashley" he snickered and I punched him in the shoulder and rubbed his shoulder and said "no need for violence woman!" I said "then don't call me Ashley an call me Ash an we have a deal" he nodded and said "Ash these are Tyler, Jordan, and " I cut him off and said "I know the last one because that dip shit would be my brother" Alex scoffed and said "shut up Ashley!" I looked at him and glared I heard Bryson say "oh shit" I lunged at Alex and tackled him to the ground and held his hands above his head an said "you better take it back or some people will know your little secret" he looked at me and said "you wouldn't dare!" I scoffed and said "oh but I would!" He squealed "okay I take it back I'm sorry Ash!" I nodded and got up and helped him up and hugged him and said "I've miss you dipshit" he hugged me back an said "I've missed you to jackass!" I said "hey! that's hurtful!" I pretended to start to cry and he hugged me and said "I'm sorry Ash I didn't mean it!" I chuckled "why do you fall for that!" he glared and me and I said "I love you Alex and you know you love me" he rolled his eyes and ruffled my hair I said "no my hair!" I messed his up and attacked me I screamed "rape my brother is raping me help!!!!!" Nathan came downstairs and behind Bryson and tackled him and I flipped Alex over and sat on his stomach and Nathan did the same with Bryson we fist bumped each other and smirked "wow me and Nathan make a great team ok bye now" me and Nathan dashed up stairs an flung ourselves over the couches an hid from Bryson and Alex they come upstairs and walked around looking for us I let out a shakey breath then someone grabbed me from behind and pushed me down on my back which made me squeal and I looked and saw Bryson smirking and he said "I thought you said you were a badass?" I huffed and rolled my eyes Alex was looking at Bryson and me an said "KISS ALREADY!" I looked at him in pure shock and said "da faq?!" He looked at me an said "oh did I say that out loud oops!" I shoved Bryson off me and tackled him and sat on his stomach smirking like the Chester cat he said "I like this we should do this more often" he winked and I gaged and got up and sat in the couch and Nathan crawled next to me and laid his head on a pillow next to my leg and fell asleep I fist pumped the air and got up slowly and quietly made my way downstairs and listened to Bryson and the band play I smiled and danced a little with the music, when the music stopped I stared at Bryson before he walked over to me and said "how was it?" I smiled and said "amazing" he smiled and said "your brother told me you could sing well can we hear it?" I looked at Alex and he gave me thumbs up and I said "okay do you know the song Hero by skillet?" they nodded an I started singing

"I'm just a step away

I'm just a breath away

Losin' my faith today

(Fallin' off the edge today)

I am just a man

Not superhuman

(I'm not superhuman)

Someone save me from the hate

It's just another war

Just another family torn

(Falling from my faith today)

Just a step from the edge

Just another day in the world we live

[Chorus:]

I need a hero to save me now

I need a hero (save me now)

I need a hero to save my life

A hero'll save me (just in time)

I've gotta fight today

To live another day

Speakin' my mind today

(My voice will be heard today)

I've gotta make a stand

But I am just a man

(I'm not superhuman)

My voice will be heard today

It's just another war

Just another family torn

(My voice will be heard today)

It's just another kill

The countdown begins to destroy ourselves

[Chorus]

I need a hero to save my life

I need a hero just in time

Save me just in time

Save me just in time

Who's gonna fight for what's right

Who's gonna help us survive

We're in the fight of our lives

(And we're not ready to die)

Who's gonna fight for the weak

Who's gonna make 'em believe

I've got a hero (I've got a hero)

Livin' in me

I'm gonna fight for what's right

Today I'm speaking my mind

And if it kills me tonight

(I will be ready to die)

A hero's not afraid to give his life

A hero's gonna save me just in time

[Chorus]

I need a hero

Who's gonna fight for what's right

Who's gonna help us survive

I need a hero

Who's gonna fight for the weak

Who's gonna make 'em believe

I need a hero

I need a hero

A hero's gonna save me just in time"

Bryson clapped and said "wow your really good no scratch that your amazing!" I blushed like crazy was I developing a crush on Bryson Black?
