Couldn't Be More Different (Cashton/Muke)

Chapter 6

Ashton's p.o.v

I got home from football practice waiting to see how my parents would react. My dad was waiting to talk to me about it since my mom wanted to talk too. I walked into the house and she was sitting in the living room waiting for me.

Tom: Really Ashton a 4 day detention?

Ashton: I don't know why he decided on 4 days. It is stupid.

Anne: You are grounded for the rest of the week!

Tom: We will also be getting up at 6:00 AM every day to jog as punishment!

Ashton: Isn't detention good enough?

Anne: You could of been kicked off the team Ashton! Your grades are shit and you know it!

Ashton: Whatever mom!

I went upstairs to my room after my parents took my phone. I just sat down at my desk and started doing the homework for Math.

Luke's p.o.v

I was almost home and I was scared about what my family would say. I knew they wouldn't be happy. Well I was right. I walked into the door and my mom was standing there waiting for me.

Liz: 4 days of detention Luke!

Luke: Can you just leave me alone?

Andrew: Why can't you just behave for once.

Liz: Ugh just go to your room nobody wants to see you right now.

I walked upstairs and slammed my door. My wrist started to itch. I was 2 weeks clean but I need to do it now. I grabbed my razor blade and went to the bathroom. I did 10 on each arm. I didn't go too deep this time. When I finished I felt a little bit better. When I got my wrist to stop bleeding I cleaned the cuts and decided to do my theory for my music class.

Michael's p.o.v

School ended and that meant I had to go home. I already know that I am going to get beat up at home. I biked home and went to the shed to put my bike away. I then walked up to the door. I took a deep breath and walked inside. When I got inside and closed the door the apartment was silent. Maybe he was out at the bar. I walked through the living room and saw him passed out on the couch. I was walking carefully trying not to wake him up. That's when I heard glass shatter on the ground. I accidentally knocked over an empty beer bottle. I looked back at him and saw him get up very fast.

Daryl: You fucking worthless piece of shit! What the fuck are you doing at school getting a detention for?!

Michael: Uh I was caught smoking weed!

Daryl: And how did you get the weed?

Michael: My friend gave it to me.

Daryl: You fucking liar!

 Next thing I knew he punched me. I was on the ground. I just wanted him to get it over with. 10 minutes later of him beating me up he finished. It hurt to walk but I couldn't just stay in the living room. I used the couch to pull myself up. I don't know what he did to my leg. I think my ankle is sprained. Either that or just bruised. I went to my room and lied down on my bed. I just started silently crying. If my dad ever saw me cry he would just hurt me more. When I finished crying I walked over to my mirror and lifted my shirt. All I saw was an ugly mess. I am pale aside from the bruises I have all over my body. Not wanting to look at my body anymore I put my shirt back on and started my homework.

Calum's p.o.v

I got off the bus and walked a block to my house. I didn't know what my dad was going to say when I got inside. When I reached the door I opened it walking inside. My dad was in the kitchen figuring out what to make for supper.

David: How was school Calum?

Calum: It was bad.

David: So what happened with the principal?

Calum: I woke up with mom and realized I would be late. It was only 5 minutes though.

David: So why didn't you get him to call me so I could to explain to him the situation.

Calum: Dad I don't need other people's pity. Plus we refuses to read anything I write in my notepad.

David: Maybe I need to go in there.

Calum: No dad you will just make it worse!

David: Well that's your choice then but remember in detention when you are bored that I could of got you out of it.

Calum: Ok dad.
