chapter 2

"Can we please go" I choked out holding in my sobs. Ashton rolled his eyes and turned back towards Bridget.

"Get your own ride" was all I heard until his lips connected with Bridget's once again.

My eyes widened and my moth dropped. I tried to get his attention again but he completely ignored me, my head started pounding due to the loud music and my sobs. Luke must have seen me because he rushed too my side and wrapped his arm around my waist practically caring me outside. He sat my down on the ground against the edge of the building taking a seat next to me.

"What did he do to you" he said firmly. Mt heart was racing and I placed my head in my hands taking deep breaths trying to control my fast breathing. Luke wrapped his arm around my waist and brought me closer to him. I rested my head on his shoulder feeling safer in my bestfriends arms. "Please Ev, you need to tell me what happened" He said desperately.

I took a deep breath and held back the tears that were threatening to spill. "I was getting a drink and I was talking to the bar tender. I guess I was gone longer than I thought. And he grabbed me and he started touching me and yelling and -" I choked back a sob and Luke held me tightly. I clung on to him and cried into his chest. The door soon opened and a worried Mikey and Calum ran over to us.

"What the fuck happened" Mikey yelled while plopping next to us. His breathing was heavy and his face was bright red with anger. At first I thought he was mad at me, but his eyes soon softened when he saw the state I was in. Calum was pacing back and forth looking over at us sometimes but he looked deep in thought.

"The douche tried to rape her" Luke shot at Michael.

"That fucking prick, I swear to god I will -"

"Where's Ashton" I interrupted Michael before he could finish. He looked at me solemnly. Calums head snapped over to us and he shook his head in disgust.

"He left" was all Calum said. "With Bridget"

flashback

Me and Ash were sat in the small booth at the coffee shop like usual. This time it was only Calum with us, the other boys had something important to do. But we know they were probably just to tried from the party the other night. We were cracking jokes and talking about things that have happened during our classes that we seemed to find hilarious. We already ordered our foods and drinks, I ordered my usual tea with a muffin.

"I was in math the other day, and you know Alex. The really smart one from the grade below?" I nodded my head and Calum continued his story. "He was answering a question, and the kid next too me farted. I tried to hold in my laughter but knowing me.. I just let it out" Calum bursted out laughing at his own story. Other people probably wouldn't find any of this funny but for some reason we found it hysterical.

"Who are you texting" I nudged Ashton to get his attention. His head popped up from his phone, and he looked between me and Calum.

"Huh? oh yeah, Um Bridget." he mumbled. Ashton knew how I felt about him talking to her. I've never been fond of her, I actually used to be close with her a few years back. She plays people and uses people. Once she gets what she wants she dumps them. Ashton is the last person on this earth that I want any of this to happen too, but knowing Bridget she will make him stop talking to me.. and I've told him that plenty of time. Ashton has a lot going on, personally. And he hasn't really been himself lately. I've tried to get him to talk to me about it but he won't, it's never good to bottle up your emotions. You can only keep so much in until you explode and have a breakdown. There is no telling what he could do if he had a breakdown, and that's what I'm worried about.
