Ashton. | {a.i au}

T h r e e ✔️

He's always feeling like an outcast

He's been going crazy ever since his dad passed

But he needs guidance and advice, but instead

he only keeps having breakdowns and flashbacks of the car crash.

-

outcast

• adj : excluded from a society

• n : a person who is rejected

thats exactly how ashton had been feeling, completely excluded and rejected, but now he is use to it.

Lately he had become immune to the other students bothering him and annoying him. Today at school he had been pushed out of the way by another random guy and roughly into the lockers .

Ashton felt like he was going to go crazy with his peers tarting him like this,

Like dirt.

Like a doormat.

Ever since the stupid accident.

Ever since his dad died right in front of his eyes,

Ashton needed some sort of figure that could guide him through his path in life but he never got one. He needed someone to give him advice but he never got any

Instead of any source of help Ashton only kept having horrible breakdowns in memory of the horrible accident.

In the stupid car crash.

That killed his amazing father

His only source of happiness.

His inspiration.

••Flashback••

Ashton and his father Bruce were taking a drive out in the outskirts of Sydney Australia through the back roads of his home town where all the lovely scenery and landscape was, and the cattle and live stock lay.

It was the perfect day, hot and sunny mixed with windy, the perfect weather.

Perfect to go for a drive.

They were both singing along to boulevard of broken dreams on Bruce's green day cd.

Ashton was driving living up his chances that he could drive now.

He looked out the window on his dad's side and pointed at a place they would always go as a kid with his brother.

A single tree in the middle if a beautiful green meadow where they would always have a family picnic.

Ashton was pulled out of his daydream of back when the days were so simple when his dad started yelling at him.

"Ashton watch out!" his dad yelled, when Ashton looked away from the road to glare out the window "A cow, dodge it ash"

"Dad!" Ashton yelled turning right hard.

The car skidded across the road around the cow and straight into a tree the was just on the side if the gravel road

-

The whole car was a wreck, wrapped around the tree, Ashton held his head squeezing his eyes shut to get the pounding out of his head. he suddenly remembered his father.

"Dad" Ashton whined turning around slowly to see his dad with his eyes barely open "No, dad!" he almost screamed

"Son" Bruce whispered carefully, Ashton's eyes widened in relief, hearing his fathers voice "i can't feel anything." he finished, all the colour drained from Ashton's face.

"No, No! Dad you're going to be fine" he said fumbling for his cell phone "I'm going to call the ambulance, and they are going to help you dad." Ashton whimpered.

"Ash, stop I can feel it," he pause swallowing before he continued "I'm not going to make it" he said before closing his eyes slowly "I love you and your mother and brother."

"No dad please" he sobbed "in calling"

Bruce's lips were slightly parted and he was barely breathing. Ashton's lips were quivering

"Dad"

Nothing

"Dad, that's not funny, stop it"

Nothing

"Dad! please, no dad" he yelled quickly unbuckling his dad's seatbelt and opening his own door, he unbuckled his own and grabbed his father under his armpits before pulling him out of the car.

When he finally got him our of the car he carefully lay him on the ground

"Dad wake up" He yelled shaking his body "dad please" he kneeled beside him and pulled his fathers body on top of his, and began to rock him carefully "no" he kept whispering to himself "I love you dad" he repeated

Ashton rocked him and rocked him until a car pulled up behind him and called the ambulance

"I'm sorry dad, I love you" he said before he heard sirens.
