Chpt 42: for the best

Anna's POV

I sat there crying. I couldn't believe what just happened. "We have to go to court" Blaire said. "No. we don't" I said. I hugged my knees and stood up. Blaire made Calum get out. "I need time. do me a favor Blaire" I said pausing. "Anything" she said. I pressed my lips together. "Get him back. I know you are at each other's heads and I understand that you both have different ideas. I know you don't want kids and he does. but that's in the way future. make today count. please, Blaire for me" I said. "Anna I can't-" "Please. for me" I said. "Only if you and Michael talk" Blaire said. "He- we can't fix what's been broken, but you can fix it with Calum" I said. "Ok" she said. We walked out and Michael was standing at the door. "Anna can w-" "MICHAEL" Elena said running down the hallway. i shook my head no. Calum yelled my name and I kept walking. I felt his hand touch my arm and I sighed. he turned me around. "A-" "Calum do me a favor. Talk to Blaire, please. she'll explain" I said as I pulled away. I got in the elevator and the door closed. Michael dove in and then the door closed. "Anna c-" "There's nothing to talk about" I said. Michael hit the stop button and I sighed. I knew I wasn't going to last. "Ann-" "Is this what you wanted to see Michael? because congratulations Michael! you've seen me cry over you and your new girlfriend, now turn the elevator on" I said wiping a tears away. "You think that's what I want Anna? I want to talk, about you and Calum and us and everything" Michael said. "Talk" I said. "When I told Calum that he could stay over I told him to leave you alone. he purposely did all those things to piss me off Anna. Whatever bullshit he made up was lies. I was pissed that he did what he did so I fucked Elena to get him back. I had no right to I know" Michael said. "Why do you care so much?" I asked. "Because I love you Anna. I fucking love you and I know that love is used on a daily bases for bullshit romances but when it comes to you I mean it. I mean it with every ounce in my body" he said taking a step closer to me. "Then why didn't you let me explain Michael? you really hurt me" I said. "I know" he breathed pausing as he cupped my cheek. "And seeing you hurt, is the worst possible thing I could ever see. I pictured you crying at night because of me. that gets to me An. I hate what I've done to you" he said. "I'm sorry Michael, I'm sorry for sleeping with Calum and I'm sorry that I'm such a fuck up and I deserved what I got today. I mean, I don't deserve anybody let alone you" I said as I turned the elevator on. it opened up and I walked out. I didn't hear footsteps and I kept walking. I saw Blaire and Calum kissing. she pulled back and I smiled. "Anna we-" "It's not you guys, It's just Michael" I said. "Thank you Anna. you've helped us out and I can't thank you enough" Calum said hugging me. I embraced this last hug and walked to my car. I drove home and shut my door. I walked to the bathroom. Luke was right. I was a fat slut. I sat on the bathroom toilet and cried. I took my phone out. I can't call anyone. Elena and Luke betrayed me, Michael and I aren't working, Cal and Blaire are busy probably fucking. I had nobody. I clicked my contacts and saw Ashton's name. I clicked it and the phone rang. "Ello babe, you've reached Ash's celly. I can't come to the phone right now because I'm in the middle of sex, but leave your name and I'll call you back sexy" then I herd a beep. "Hi Ashton, it's Anna. I know we haven't spoken in a while and I-"

Ashton's POV

I listened to the phone ring. it went to my voice mail and I listened to see who it was as a girl road me. "Hi Ashton, it's Anna. I know we haven't spoken in a while and I." I pushed the girl off me and sat up. "What was-" "Shush" I said as I listened. "I have nobody anymore and I know you probably won't get this but. you always said I could call you if I felt alone and right now I feel worthless. everything is going wrong and I can't take it. I deserved to be raped didn't I? All my friends are happy and I'm not. I don't deserve any of this. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I really just need someone here so I don't do anything stupid. but I guess since it's a voice machine you won't get this in time. Bye, Ash" the line went dead and I through on clothes. "Elena stay here" I said. "Where's my money" she asked. "Table, now clear out by the time I'm back ok?" I said grabbing my keys. I drove as fast as I could. I gripped the wheel tightly as I zoomed by houses. I pulled into Anna's apartment drive way and got out. I slammed the door and ran around. I took my spare key and unlocked the door. I herd sobbing and my boots clicked the floor as I walked towards the bathroom. "Anna where are you" I asked. I came into the bathroom and Anna had a bottle of pills that was full and a glass of water. she had a blade in one had and was turning it back and forth in her hands. "Anna" I said and she looked up. She was sitting on the toilet and there was bloody in the sink. I held my hand out and she gave me the blade. "Where did you do it" I asked. "It was in the process of taking the razor apart" she said. I looked at the pills and put them away. i helped her up and she hugged me. "I'm so sorry" she said as she screamed sobbed into my chest. my hand held the back of her head to my chest as she sobbed. "What happened? you said something about rape" I said. "Luke... He-" "Shh, he won't ever hurt you again, I promise" I said. "Stay with me" she begged. "Ok" I said as we stood there. "Anna?" it was the voice. Michael. "I don't want him to see me l-" "What the hell is going on here" Michael said. "Calm down-" "DONT TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK TO DO YOU FUCKING CUNT" he yelled and Anna's eyes watered. i grabbed Michael and put him outside. "She tried it again. calm yourself down and you can come in" I said shutting the door. I came back and Anna cut her wrist. "ANNA NO" I yelled as I grabbed the blade from her. it hit the floor and I herd a door shut. it was Michael. he ran out and grabbed something. I herd a car door shut and he came in with a first aid kit. "It was for the best" she cried. "Don't you dare say that. you mean so much to me and Michael and Calum and Blaire and your parents and Kelly and everyone at work. this isn't the way to go Anna. it'll only make things worse" I said. I cleaned and bandaged the cut marks. she got changed and I sat with Michael outside. she came out and looked at Michael. "Goodnight Michael" she said. "Im staying here, I'll sleep on the couch. Im not leaving you alone" Michael said. "She won't be" I said. "We're both leaving ash, she'll be alone" Michael said. "I'm staying tonight, after all she did call me, not you" I said and Michael licked his lips. "I'll sleep on the couch Anna, he can take the spare room" Michael said. "He's, Ashton sleeping next to me" Anna said. "But! your welcome to stay the night" she said. Michael nodded and I stood up. "See ya mate" I said. "Leave the door open" Michael said. "Goodnight Michael" she said as she walked in with me. she shut the door and I took my shirt off. I took my pants off and laid down. she laid next to me and I pulled her to my chest. "Thanks, thanks for everything ash" she said. I kissed her forehead. "I'm not going anywhere" I said.
