Aly POV:

--------

It was the night before Magcon and we were still driving. Ashley and Nash were sitting shoulder to shoulder on the couch and Jacob was flirting with Mahogany. I was so confused as if they were together or not. As for me? I was chilling with Johnson on the sofa, just stalking people on Twitter. Ever since our tour hit off, we had all gotten more famous. I had 1.4 million followers, Ashley had 3.9 million, Kali had 1.2 million. Taylor, Hayes, Aaron, Matthew, and Carter were in the back doing who knows what. Cameron and Sarah were sitting in Cam's room. Bart was up front with the driver, probably asleep. I could tell from across the room that Ashley felt uncomfortable. Ever since she had her "issues" about two months ago, her and Jacob have been off and on. I wasn't sure what was going on today though. Ashley seemed to be forcing a smile and laugh around Nash, but seemed happy, loveable, and excited around Jacob. Maybe she felt as if she were safe with Nash, but knew Jacob would hurt her again, so she paced herself between the two. I have no clue. But I could tell the moment that I woke up, that something was off. It was just weird. I felt as if something tremendous would happen today. I couldn't tell good or bad, but I had that feeling in the pit of my stomach. I started to feel tired so I layed down on Johnson's lap and went to sleep.

Kali POV:

---------

Everybody seemed to be calm and happy, but most of all excited. Except for Ashley and Jacob. They almost radiated tension and hate. It was obvious that Ashley was trying to make Jacob jealous and feel bad with Nash, but at the same time, it seemed as if she had an actual connection with Nash. Usually Ashley is all happy-go-lucky and almost never shows pain. At least since the whole Jacob/Tori ordeal she hasn't let anyone into her head, unless you can pick apart her singing and tell what's wrong. But you'd have to be her best friend, hence the reason I was able to tell Ashley didn't seem very happy today. She seemed like she was on the brink of crying. She looked happy, content at least. But her eyes told another story. She must've been able to tell I was staring because she locked eyes with me. She gave me a look like "what?" and I gave her a concerned look. All I got back was a fake smile and a head shake. Something was very wrong. I wasn't sure, but I felt as if nothing could go right today. I looked down at my phone, just to look back up at Ashley giggling with Nash, who looked in love. Poor kid didn't know what was going on, he thought Ashley actually liked him. Maybe she did, who am I to judge? Anyways, Jacob had heard them too and looked at them with despair and heartbreak written all over his face. He looked back at Mahogany and talked loudly, but just to her.

"You're the sweetest baby!" with a little kid giggle.

Gross. He was pulling that card. He obviously said it loud so Ashley would hear him. And she did. She wrinkled her eyebrows together and a shock of pain vibrated through her every limb. She sunk back down into Nash's lap. She looked at him with a smile and said,

"You're so...perfect Nash. I'm so lucky to have you."

And leaned in to him. She put her hand on his cheek and pulled his mouth to meet hers. He gave into her, not knowing it was all for show. Nash put his hand on the small of her back and pulled her body into his. Before we knew it, Jacob was up and pulling Nash off her.

"What the hell Ashley?! I thought we were still together! No, you're gonna be a little whore and cheat on me with one of my friends? I should never had trusted you! You really should've just put a rope on a beam in your bathroom and slipped your neck through that night with Tori. I hate you! You faked loving me this while time didn't you!?"

Before anyone could react, Jacob pulled his hand back and hit her with the flat of his palm. Nash flew over to Jacob, punching him straight in the jaw. Once Jacob was on the ground, Nash was on top of him and hitting him repeatedly in the jaw and nose. As if out of nowhere, Taylor and Cameron were pulling them away from each other. Jacob had a bloody nose and an already bruised jaw, nit to mention his bloody lip. Nash walked away with a slight black eye and a cut on his lip. He marched into his room and slammed the door. Jacob, startled by Nash, dizzily got up and was walked to his room by Taylor as Cameron walked into Nash's room.

I looked at Gilinsky,

"Well that escalated quickly"

I jumped up and knelt down by Ashley. She was quivering and crying. By the time I got her to sit up, all the boys were with us. Matt and Hayes came and checked on Ashley with me, Jack and Jack explained the story to Aaron, Carter, and Shawn. Bart? He didn't care unless it had some thing to do with money. Ashley's left eye was black and blue and a bright red hand mark across her face was already starting to welt. My face grew red with anger, it was all I could do to not get up and hit him harder than he hit Ashley.

"Bing"

My phones notifications went off. Somebody tweeted. As I pulled up my Twitter, I saw it was Jacob.

"Guys!!! Check your Twitters. Jacob just tweeted something and I think ya'll need to see it!"

His tweet read:

I thought she loved me, but she cheated. 😰 I wish I hadn't reacted how I did, but the slut deserves it!!😡😡😡

The boys and I all read it out loud, forgetting Ashley might hear it. Ashley's notifivations blew up with hate. And nothing but hate. She got up and ran crying to her room.

Ashley POV:

-----------------

How could he do this to me?! I could still feel the heat and the pain of his hand on my face. It wasn't like I was cheating and he wasn't!! I looked down at my phone and started looking through my feed. Absolutely nothing but hate. I guess nobody cares anyways. Jacob thought that since he's oh so famous that he could make every one hate me. I threw my phonenagainstbthe wall in a burst of outrage and absolute sadness. I stopped crying for just a moment. Just long enough to hear my friends talking in hushed whispers trying to figure out how tomcats me down. Forget it. I just won't be a bother to them anymore. Obviously they felt burdened by me and everything I cause. It's my fault Jacob hit me, it's my fault all of this was happening. I never wanted to cut again, but this was different. This would be a permanent fix to a life long problem. I dug through my bag and pulled out a razor. I pulled the blades out and sat them on my wrists. I had to make sure that I made the, deep enought to hit the vein. I set them vertically on my lower left arm and slid them up and down, just to be sure I broke the vein open. This time hurt more than ever. I screamed out in pain.

"Ashley let us in!!! Stop right now"

"Come on sweet heart we love you don't do anything,just open the door"

After I heard Shawn and Aly's voice, they all became muffled. I was in so much pain, but it was the best thing to do. I looked through my medicine bag and pulled out 4 bottles of pills and grabbed a handful from each and swallowed them. I couldn't stand my life anymore. I could slowly feel my heart slow, my eyelids became droopy, and my body went numb. I couldn't feel the cuts anymore. I smiled, just knowing that I wouldn't have to go through this pain anymore. The last thing I remember was Nash bursting into my locked room, cracking my door, and Aly, Sarah, Shawn, Hayes, the Jacks, Carter, and Matthew come bursting in.

I closed my eyes and surrendered to my painless sleep. I was finally free from pain.
