I was walking along side Ashton while he loosely held my finger tips. He nervously walked and looked around waiting for something too jump out at us.
"Dude, calm down its just the woods." Michael said while he looked over his shoulder at Ashton and I.
"We have been walking for like 20 minutes since we parked on that road." Ashton complained again.
"Ash, we will be fine, just shut up." I said trying to get him to shut his mouth before Cate and Michael left us in the middle of know where because he was talking so much.
"Okay, we are here." Cate said while smiling up at Michael. "Home sweet home!" Michael replied.
"T-this is where we are staying?" Ashton questioned while looking around his surroundings.
"Yeah, but it's home." Cate said while opening up the door to the RV. We were greeted with lots of screams welcoming Cate and Michael back when one girl looked at me questionably and said. "Who's the blondie?" I looked between Ashton and Cate. "These are our new friends!" Michael responded and Ashton finally let go of my fingers to shake hands with all the guys in the RV.
"UNO!!!" Cate screamed while she placed her solo cup on the table and the beer splashed over the side of the cup. "MICHAEL I WON!" She screamed and grabbed his face and kissed him. She was so drunk I don't think she realize she had 2 cards in her hands and not one. Everyone just looked at me as if they were saying "just let her be". Cate and Michael finally stopped kissing and said they were going to bed and to follow them. Ashton stood up and grabbed my hand. "You guys can sleep on the bunk above us." Michael said as he crawled into the bottom bunk. "We will get your truck in the morning Ashton." Michael said as he pulled Cate into the twin sized bed with him. Ashton had me climb to the top first and he followed behind me. I heard the bed creaked and hoped to god it would hold us. Ashton got under the covers with me and pushed my hair behind my ear. "So, how do you like them?" Ash asked while still kissing parts of my face and mumbling words against my cheeks. "I like them, seem like our people." I said while he worked his way to my neck. "Ashton, we are not doing this with them right below us." I whispered as Ashton smirked against the skin below my ear. "Do what?" He commented while he pulled back and smiled innocently like he wasn't just torturing me. "Just go to sleep Ash." I said while rolling over. "I love you Elissa." He said against the back of my neck. "Yeah, I know." I said, sad that I couldn't return the words.

"Hey Evelyn" I heard once again.
"For fucks sakes it's Elissa!" I yelled to him.
"Yeah, whatever. Remind your little boyfriend that our fight starts at 4 sharp!" He called as he walked down the hall. What the fuck I mumbled to myself. I continued down the hall when it hit me. Ashton was going to be fighting David after school today. I looked around the halls trying to find Ashton.
I finally spotted him leaning against his locker while typing in his combination. "Shit." he mumbled when he dropped his books on the floor. "Shit." He said a little louder. He looked as if he was going to cry. "Hey Ashton." I said quietly trying not to scare him. "Hey Elissa." He said as his voice cracked. "Ash what's all this about you fighting David?" I asked while rubbing his back. "He's being an asshole. He thinks he is so amazing. I hate it. I hate him. He needs to know that he isn't the king of this school." He said as he tried to stop himself from crying. "Ashton don't do it you will just regret it." I said while bringing my hand back to my side. Ashton and I have gotten closer during the past few weeks but I don't want him doing anything for me that he will regret. "Elissa he's an asshole to you. He looks at you like you are a piece of candy and that he can own you when ever he wants. He just annoys me." He said. "Ashton I think you are just having a bad day. Come home with me. I'll drive you to my house and my mom will cook you dinner like she did the other night. Please don't do this. You won't even have to go home tonight please." I said trying to to cry myself. "Please Ash." I pleaded once again. "No. I'm sorry Elissa." He said while he grabbed his last book from the floor and walked away. I saw him again in chemistry and he didn't talk all period.
Finally 4 o'clock came and I didnt know if I wanted to stay or not. I got in my car and started it. I never change the gear because I felt weird just leaving Ashton to fight this for me. I turned off the engine and got out of the car and walked to Ashton's locker. He wasn't there so I headed out towards the parking lot again. When I turned the corner I saw Ashton on the floor with 5 kids standing over him all kicking his sides and legs. David was standing on the side smirking. I ran over to Ashton and tried to get the people away from him. "Stop it. Just stop it!" I screamed. I felt something hit my side. I turned around and say that one if the kids hit my side. "Please just stop. He's down. Don't hit him while he's down." I sobbed as Ashton just groaned on the ground next to me. The guys finally walked away. But before doing so they each gave him one more kick. David the walked over and said "Hoped you learned your lesson." And kicked him in the face and spit right on his face. "You're disgusting. I hate you so much." I finally screamed as Ashton groaned again.
