"um, i need to tell you something" ashton tells me.

i start worrying, because ashton is never this serious. he's usually outgoing, annoying and, well, bitchy.

"go on" i tell him.

he stays silent for a while until finally, he says, "i can't. im sorry. i-i uh. i cant."

"alright then.." i reply, shrugging it off.

ashtons pov

i cant tell her. she will worry too much, its my problem, not hers. no point of getting ella involved, she hasn't done anything, and if i tell her, she might tell lucy, and that won't be pretty.

keep it together, ash.

ella's pov

its the end of the day, at last. it is also wednesday, which means i get the house to myself tonight. jake is going out with vicky; mum and dad are working night shifts; tess is going clubbing.

after school i walk around town pointlessly, doing practically nothing when i get a text.

unknown: why is little ella walking around town alone?

that is when i get creeped out. who the hell has my number without me knowing and also can see me walking around? well town is pretty big and lots of people can see me, but right this moment? i look around, my phone in my hands. i read the message again and again. suddenly, something suspiciously moves behind a tree. i run towards it as fast as i possibly can.

another text.

unknown: no point trying to get me, you'll fail.

this is creepy. im scared. this is scary. i text jake; my brother.

to jake: mate pick me up im creeped out, outside the hemmings house, asap

the hemmings family are friends of my parents and apparently they have a son called luke, who went to my school but has moved to sydney to finish off this year, before graduating and going to college.

i get a text, its from jake, thank god.

jake: be there in 5

i impatiently wait for my brother to arrive, cautious about every little sound happening around me.

a mercedes arrives shortly and i climb in the front seat. jake drives back home. he parks outside and asks "okay ella what the hell was that all about? you kinda sorta ruined my date with vicky"

i don't say anything, i just show him my phone.

"okay this is messed up sis. if you get any more texts, you should tell the police" he tells me, worry and confusion evident on his face. we may be the same age, but he definitely is way too overprotective sometimes.

"uh yeah, thanks for driving me, have fun with vicky" i say to jake, leaving the car. im still shaken up because of the past event. i go inside and start watching reruns of teen wolf, and thats how i fell asleep on the living room couch.
