I haven't been to school for the past week. I have been trying to heal. My scars look terrible and I feel terrible about myself. Its a Saturday, so Ashton is here with me. My nightmares have gotten worse. I try my best not to think about them but it gets harder and harder by the minute. I have been awake for the past hour but haven't been able to get myself up. Ashton slept with me last night due to my dreams. It's like he is my hero. He comes and everything bad is gone.

I wiggle out of Ashton's arms and try walking to the bathroom.

I hear Ashton whisper "Are you okay?"

"yes." I reply shortly due to the pain in my spine.

"No you're not, I can see it in your eyes." he says getting up and walking over to me.

"Ashton, I'm fine. Go back to sleep." I say as I feel the tears build up in my eyes. God, why am I so emotional? I hate it so much.

"No, i'm here to help you recover." he says. I speed walk to the bathroom, letting the tears fall. I slam the door and lock the lock on the door.

"Babe, Please. I'm trying to help you. Please don't shut me out." Ashton says through the door. I put my head into my hands.

"I don't want you t-to see me like this, Ashton!!" I reply through sobs.

"Dealing with it alone isn't going to help love." he says. I build up the courage to unlock the door. I go back to the floor once I unlock the door. He opens the door and helps me stand up. Once I'm up he holds me close to his chest.

"ssshh babe, its going to be okay. Things are going to get better."

Ashton's P.O.V.

So many questions are going through my head right now. What happened to her parents? Why would someone want to hurt someone like her? She is so lovely. She's perfect. She is to wonderful to be this sad. I need her to be happy. I hate seeing her like this.

"Hey babe, I invited The boys and Michaela to come over and hang out for a bit but if you don't want them over, I can cancel." I say looking at her. God she is so beautiful. How does she not see that?

"No, its fine. I can really use some girl time with Michaela." she says with a small smile.

"Are you tired of me already?" I smile at her trying to look offended.

"Noooo. Its been a solid week since I have seen her and The boys." she says giggling. THERE IT IS! The smile I have been looking for. It increased my mood 100000x. I start to giggle with her.

"Okay, I am going to go down and start up the Netflix." I said still smiling.

"Okay! I look ratchet, so i'm going to change." she says making me annoyed that she thinks that about herself.

"You look beautiful. Come down stairs with me." I say as calm as I can. I run after her and put my hands on her waist, turning her around to face me. She looks down blushing, causing me to chuckle.

"Okay." she says smiling. I grab her hand and our fingers intertwine. "Ashton, did you tell them what happened?" she asks as we walk slowly down the stairs.

"Yes, I felt like they should know." I reply honestly.

"Alrighty." she says quietly. I look at her and she has a face that looks like she is thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?" I ask her, staring at her.

"Too much." Kyler says with an irritated laugh.

Our conversation is interrupted by the doorbell ringing.

"I will get it." I say walking to the door. I open the door with a wide grin.
