Save Me? {Michael Clifford}

Chapter Twenty-Two

KELLY'S P.O.V

I laid in bed and stared at my ceiling. I've been home for a week and everyone goes back to school, well apart from Ash. Mum asked the school to send me some work so today I'm settled on Maths and Science, how fun.

I sighed, sat up and picked up my maths book again, finding the page I was meant to be on I started my work. It was 10 in the morning and ever since I've been out of the hospital I've had barely any sleep even though I've been tired all the time.

After I was finished with my maths work - which took me about an hour and a half - I got out my science book and flicked to the correct page.

"Good morning Kel," Ash barged in, stretching both of his arms towards me. I wrapped both my arms around his chest and he brought himself closer to me.

"Good morning Ashyboo," I mumbled into his chest. He laughed slightly at his nickname, making me feel his chest go up and down.

"What are you doing today?" he asked, still not pulling away from our hug. The vibrations in his voice made me more relaxed, causing me to let out a breath I never knew I was holding.

"Science," I said simply, pulling away and releasing my arms. He sat on the edge of my bed and took my science book.

"You have Mrs. Hardings, she hates me so there's a chance she'll hate you," he laughed slightly. I rolled my eyes and took my book out of his hands.

"Maybe so but when I go back I don't think I'll have Mrs. Hardings on my case," I sighed. The thought of Amber ruining my last year scared me yet I don't think I actually cared.

"You have Michael to protect you," he smiled slightly.

"Yeah Michael Gordon Clifford, the guy Amber Lola Martha Green has had a crush on since she moved to the school," I laughed gently. Its true, this will only give her more reason to hate me.

"Why does she even hate you in the first place?" Ashton asked. By now he was lying next to me with Gordon shoved in the middle of us. Yes I named the purple unicorn Michael gave me Gordon.

"She found out that I was sisters with one of the 'populars' and was jealous. She made me ask you out for her but I said no because 1) we never talked and 2) I believed you deserved so much better," I stared at him and noticed his dimples disappear as his smile turn into a frown.

"I'm sorry I stopped talking to you Kel," he sighed. It wasn't a sad sigh it was more of a regretful sigh.

"Ash it's fine, the past is in the past," I gave him a half smile. I didn't like remembering the times Ash and I stopped talking, if he did talk to me it was only to call me names. I went through a rough time and I don't want to bring all the memories back.

"Stop using quotes from Frozen and please let me explain," Ashton said. I knew he regretted it and I knew that all he wanted to do was to explain. I guess I just wasn't ready to listen.

"No Ash, I can't bring back the memories anymore, please just move on and accept that period of our lives. We've moved past it and I don't want to go back to it," I voiced my thoughts and he nodded slowly, understanding my words.

"I'm just really sorry Kelly," he sighed once more.

"I'm really sorry too Ash, now please can we just forget about it?" he nodded and we started working on my science. I was never comfortable talking about my past, not even the good times. It just felt like I was flipping the pages back of the book my life was writing as I went along. All I wanted to do was focus on the new chapters and not the old ones.
