True Colors [Clifford]

Song 9

"Hanna! Hanna! Hannnnnnaaaa!!" Calum screamed running into me as I was about to walk into the house.

"Ow. What Calum?" I ask him.

"Ashton's gonna kill Luke! He came over a couple of minutes ago, and tried to tell Ashton that he was sorry, and then Ashton went all ape shit!" Calum exclaims dragging me into the house. I rip my arm from his hand and run into the house in front of him finding Ashton standing in the middle of the living room with dads recliner on it's side and Luke hiding behind mom's count.

"Ashton! Stop!" I shout running over grabbing his arm as he went to grab the remote and throw it at Luke. I know dad would love for the TV to get destroyed because he hates the damn thing at times, but let's not break anything just yet. Like come on Ash.

"No! He need's to to taught a lesson for hurting you! He's lucky I didn't get my hands on him before!" Ashton yells turning his head so he could look at me.

I shook my head at him, tears welling up in my eyes. "Ashton, please stop. I forgave Luke, it doesn't matter anymore, he made a mistake. We all do. So just let it go." I plead to him. I know I didn't need to really bring the water works, but that's what normally makes Ashton stop when he's trying to protect me. Making him think that he's the one making me cry.

"Fine. But this is the last time. And I mean ever, I don't care who does it, or if you forgive them, I wont let it go again." Ashton pulled his arm from my grip and walks over to the stairs. "I'd like to talk Hanna. Just let me cool down first." He walked up the stairs with that and I just nodded knowing that even if he wasn't looking, he knew that I had nodded.

I looked over at Calum who was turning to the recliner back over, then over to Luke who was peering over the back of the couch. "You can just punch him you know. No matter what you're still like a brother to him, even if he is mad at you. So just punch him if he hits you." I say to Luke walking over to him.

"I know. It's just scary to see Ash like that." 

"Be glad it wasn't my dad." My dad would have gone ape shit. Well maybe. Some day's my dad just doesn't care and acts like a total ass. But that's who he's always been, and there is nothing that will change that. "I'm going to talk with Ashton." I tell them before either could say anything. I made my way up the stairs and to Ashton's room.

I knocked waiting for his answer. I knew that he would or wouldn't be calmed down by now, so I wasn't going to just barge in there. "Ash, it's me. Can I come in?" I quietly asked him. I was kind of emotionless right now, like I wasn't mad, or upset, and nothing close to happy, I just felt like nothing at the moment. It was a normal feeling. To feel nothing or like nothing.

"Yeah." Ashton's voice was very soft on the other side of the door. I opened his door, putting my head in first, looking to find that he was on his bed before walking fully into his room closing the door behind me.

"Why did you forgive him?"

"Because it was a stupid fight. I over reacted. I started it. Luke did nothing wrong other then defend something. I pushed him. So it was me who should have been apologizing." There was nothing more then that. It was both of our faults, but I started it. 

"If you believe that, then okay. I'll leave it. But you've gotta get dad to let him back."

"Don't worry about dad. He'll get over himself, like he always does." It was a shrug moment. Dad normally got over himself.

"Whatever, so where's Michael?"

"Oh that was something I wanted to talk to you about. I'm going over there, and I don't know when exactly I'm going to be back. So don't break anything and have fun, alright? And no one can go to the studio." I smile and give Ashton a wink walking out of his room. I really didn't care if Ashton had a party, I just didn't want to be there for it. So if I was out of the house, and he didn't break anything, and no one went anywhere close to the studio, I would be perfectly okay with him having his stupid little party.

"Thanks Hanna!" I heard Ashton yell after me. I laughed and smiled, the boy is so weird. I love having him as my brother. I walked into my room to find a change of clothing so I could shower when my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey, my mom's leaving right now and wont be back for a couple of hours for her lunch."

"Alright. Should I wait a little while to come over or leave now?"

"Wait, because she always forgets something. So give it like half an hour."

"Alright. See you then."

Michael hung up the call as I walked into the bathroom. I put my things down before walking to the door.

"Ashton! I need you to take me to Michael's in a little while!" I called out to my older brother.

"Fine!" He yelled back. With that I started getting ready to go to Michael's.
