Ashton's POV

I got in my car and drive over to Sophie's house.

If she was really going to do this, if she's really going to get married I want to be there with her.

I knock on the door and am met by a beaming Joe.

He closes the door behind me.

"Hey Ashton" I spin around and am met with a fist slamming into my face.

Blood drips down my nose and out of my mouth as I spit.

"What the hell?"

"Don't you dare ever come near her again" he yells throwing more punches at me.

I swing back at him hitting him square in the face.

"What did I even do?" I shout.

"She loves you, she loves you so damn much" Joe weeps and just when I think he's calmed down he kicks my shin hard.

"I know she doesn't do you think I'm some kind of gullible idiot"

"I don't but I'm not going to argue with half the world"

He turned his back to get his phone.

I quickly make my way to the front door.

He yanks me back by my collar.

Sure I'm strong but he's absolutely massive.

He starts to read of his phone.

I know there all from twitter I've read them all before.

They were the usual hate messages.

I was unaffected by all of them except the last one.

"Why did Ashton stop self harming?"

I drop my hands, no longer in fist shapes.

He aims another punch at my head.

A sort of fizzy blackness appears in my vision taking it over.

Sophie's POV

"Hey you know it's only the morning group today you can go home" I tell a helper.

I give the room a quick tidy before locking the nursery doors.

I get in my door and head home.

When I reach the porch I realise the doors open.

"Joe....?" I tentatively ask.

No reply.

I edge my way in.

And take a deep breath.

There was no one there, no burglars, no murders and no joe.

Just as I'm fully through the door a body collapses onto my feet.

I let out a scream.

I finally convince myself to look at it.

"Ash" I whisper after swearing a little.

His face is drenched in blood and his nose is broken.

Lucky you have to have a little medical training to work in a school.

I grab a wry cloth and wipe his face clean of blood.

Quickly I grab an ice pack for his black eye and plasters for the cuts.

"Your going to be okay" I mumble continuously.

Here comes the gross part.

I only knew how to do this from hospital dramas.

I placed my hand on both sides of his nose and pull it back into place.

He yelps slightly his eyes wide open.

"Sorry" I wince.

"It's fine" he manages a small smile.

"Who did this?"

"Joe" he croaks.

"Joe did this to you?" I ask shocked as he nods.

"Why?"

He just shrugs.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah sure" I smile.

"Do you love me?"

"I...um...ash"

"It's fine" he looks down pushing himself up.

"I should go" he mutters.

Deep breaths Sophie, deep breaths.

"I do" I call.
