I'm sitting in class, it's lunchtime and Damon isn't here. Some shit about an out of town football game, meaning Jason and Adam aren't here either. I'm in the room alone and have the time I wish I didn't to think. Damon and Ashton have been running through my mind like crazy since yesterday.

Ashton and I have always had this connection. I'm comfortable with him and he has always loved me. Even though I'm sure I don't love him in that way anymore, I'm positive there is still something there.

Damon on the other hand makes me feel so refreshed, it's like I need him. I've gotten used to being with him and Emma, I can't lose that either. At this point it's the only thing keeping me sane.

I sigh and place my head on the table.

"Don't do that babygirl, you're going to hurt yourself." I jump at the sudden voice and turn to see Damon standing by the door, frowning at me.

"You scared me. I thought you were out of town?" I ask fiddling with my thumbs not wanting to look directly at him.

"It was cancelled. It's raining in the next two towns." I hear the door close and look up to see him walk up to his desk. He uses his index finger to wave me over and I hesitantly stand up and walk over to him. Before I can say anything he grabs me and lifts me into his desk before standing between my legs.

"Damon! The substitute..."

"... already left baby." He smashes his lips onto mine and all of the thoughts from before vanish. All I can focus on is how good his hands feel on my waist and how hard he's kissing me.

I kiss him back, wrapping my legs around his hips. He grabs me harshly pulling my body flush against his before he pulls his mouth off of mine.

"What... was that for?" I ask breathless and he chuckles, his hands in my hair now.

"I've missed you baby."

"I missed you too." I look into his eyes and realize I mean it. I've missed the way he touches me and looks at me. My fingers massage the back of his head as we stare at each other and all of a sudden his smile is gone.

"What's wrong babe?" I'm caught off guard by his question so I tilt my head to the side and shake my head.

"Nothing. Is there something wrong?" I ask him and he shakes his head too.

"No. You know I care about you right?" He looks a little scared to hear my answer but I nod.

"Of course I know that." I say like it's a silly thing for him to ask but he continues.

"And you know that you can tell me anything. Right?" I move my arms from his neck and he removes his from my waist, backing up towards the board.

"Damon what's going on?" I say quietly because honestly I'm afraid to hear what his response will be.

He sighs before looking at the ground and then at me again, like he doesn't want to say whatever it is that's bothering him.

"Damon?" I'm getting worried now because he's never the one to hesitate.

"Seriously you're kind of scaring me here." I try to let out a little laugh but fail because of how serious he seems now. He sighs again and sits down in his chair before looking me over. From head to toe and now I'm getting kind of annoyed.

"Damon spit it out. I'm freaking out over he-"

"Did you fuck Jason?" His voice is loud and clear. And yet I still ask.

"What?" He looks mad now and it's scary how his mood can change from being all over me, to quiet, to pissed the fuck off.

"I don't even wanna fucking repeat the dirty shit Jason was saying about all of the stuff you and him did so he completely fucking honest with me because I won't ask again. You're mine Elle. So. Did. You. Fuck. Him?" He spits out the words like they're poison.

A sudden feeling in my stomach makes me nauseous and I clutch it as I step down from Damon's desk. He stands up immediately and reaches for me.

"Don't!" I yell and he automatically backs away with his hands out.

"Baby i-"

"Don't." I repeat quieter and I feel tears come to my eyes. I can see it in his eyes that he regrets asking that question but I turn away before I do something stupid. Like forgive him right away.

I grab my things from my seat and walk to the door but he stands in front of it.

"Elle you can't leave every time something bad happens. We need to talk." He crosses his arms basically TELLING me I'm not going anywhere.

"We aren't going to talk here." I say simply still not looking at him.

"Yes we are."

"No Damon, we aren't! Okay? If you don't get out of my way I'm going to start yelling louder." I look at him now letting the tears stream down my face and trying to stop my voice from cracking. I see his eyes glaze over and he looks to his side before swallowing hard and opening his door. I don't hesitate to walk out and slam it shut behind me. As soon as I hear the door slam I feel a sob break through my chest and I cover my mouth as I make my way to the restroom.

I don't even hesitate to call Ashton and have him pick me up from school. This just proves how messy things can get from a rumor. Could you imagine if Damon found out about Ashton before I told him?

In Ashton's car he's quiet as he rubs his thumb over my knuckles. I look at our hands and can't help it. I start crying. I turn towards the window as I sniff and I see him turn towards me.

"Baby whats wrong?" He grips my hand tighter and looks between me and the road. I let him hold my hand as I just shake my head.

"I'm just happy you're here." He brings my hand up to his lips, kissing my knuckles repeatedly between his words.

"I'm happy I'm here too baby. I promise you, I'm never letting anyone take you from me ever again."

Soooooooo. I just HAVE to ask, who do you guys prefer????? Ashton or Damon??? Let me know and we'll see what happens ! Also, who are you guys hoping to see more of out of the guys? Lmkkkk ❤️❤️
