Bullied by Ashton Irwin

Chapter 6

Sarah was talking to Ashton and they were laughing. Then Sarah started walking over to me. I was going to run, but I remembered what happened with Ash last night. Then Luke and Calum came up behind me. I heard mumbling but couldn't make out what was said.

"Well, hey Megan. How have you been? Has Ashton made your life miserable yet?" I starred at her, then at Ashton. He had a sorry look on his face. Then before I could say anything, she said something that made me almost faint. "Oh. He hasn't told you yet?" "Told me what?" She had a smirk on her face like she was silently killing me. "Then I saw Ashton look confused. Michael was now standing with Luke and Calum, whispering with them. "While I was gone, Ashton and I made a bet. He said that he could make any girl fall in love with him. Even you. All the stuff that's happened, was fake. It doesn't exist." Then i felt 3 pairs of hands grab me to pull me away. It was Michael, Luke and Calum.Sarah just laughed, and I heard Ash call after me but i was too hurt to care.

We all skipped school and went to michaels house. We sat in his room, and I couldnt bring myself to say anything. I just sat there like a big lump of nothing. Then I saw  michael got really upset. I had to comfort him. "Why the hell would he do that to you megan? What's his problem?" Then he looked at luke and calum who were sitting on the floor trying to figure things out. "Did you two know anything about this? Of course you did! You were probably in it trying to make us think that we could be friends with you. I can't believe it!"

Then Luke stood up and he looked sorry and confused. "Listen we, or at least I, didn't know anything about this ok? I don't even know when Ash would've had enough time to do a stupid stunt like this. We were always with him."

Then we heard Michaels door bell ring. About a minute later, Ashton walked through Michaels door. All the guys stood up and Michael was the first to speak. "How dare you come here after you hurt my fucking best friend. I cant fucking believe you. You think we're stupid enough to listen to you after you do that. Yeah well you can just walk your fucking ass out of the damn door and go to hell!" Then everything got quiet. Ashton took that pretty well.

Then Ashton spoke up. "Whatever Sarah said was a lie. I never talked to her why she was gone. I dont even know why she was dumb enough to lie while we were all there. I promise Megan. Whatever I told you, was the truth. I love you. You're gorgeous, and funny and I need you in my life."

Michael scoffed, and said, "Good fucking luck with that now. Like I said before, you can leave." I looked at michael, and I said, "Listen, I dont even know who I can trust right now. OK? She ruined my life. Shes the reason why I almost killed myself years ago. If it wasnt for Michael, I wouldnt be alive right now. He found me and saved me and made me promise that I wouldn't ever let a bully get to me again." Then the boys left and I continued. "When he finds out that I cut, he gets upset and beats himself up on the inside because he cant be with me every second to make sure Im ok." Then Ash looked down at my arm.

"Let me see your wrist? Please?" I pulled back my sleeve, and let him see the scars and recent cuts. He looked up and me and nearly started crying. "How much of this was because of me?" I looked down and figured I would answer him truthfully. "Pretty much all of it. A couple of the scars are from Sarah. A lot of them faded though." By now he was in tears. "Megan, if i knew i caused you this much pain, I wouldve killed myself. I hate myself for doing this to you. You have to forgive me for being such an ass to you. And please know that I love you with all of my heart and soul. I couldnt get through life without your beautiful eyes, and smile, and personallity and just you."

I looked him in the eyes and nodded my head. Then he hugged me. It was a tight hug, but it made me feel secure. Then the guys walked back in and michael looked a little relieved but still wary about ash. I dont blame him though. I still didnt know if i fully trusted him or not.
