Chapter Sixty Three

AN- I dedicate this chapter to jessielovesluke :)

He stared at me.

"What about Dale?" he asked.

"It was Dale that raped me." I said hesitantly.

"That's not funny." he whispered.

"Dale wouldn't do that." he added quietly.

I quickly climbed out of bed and crossed the room so that I was standing in front of him.

"Well it's true." I sighed.

"It can't be." he said shaking his head.

"How many times?" he asked me softly.

"Twice." I whispered.

He placed his hands against the wall and rested his head against the wall. I gently placed my hand on his shoulder. I could feel that he was shaking.

"Ashton." I whispered.

"When?" he mumbled against the wall.

"Stop it." I replied quietly. I didn't want to even think about the details, let alone talk about it.

"No, you tell me when!" he said angrily, as he turned and looked at me.

"Once on karaoke night, and once after our argument at the beach." I sighed.

"That was ages ago!" he exclaimed.

I nodded slowly.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked sadly, his face mere inches from mine.

"He said that if I told anyone he would destroy the band and hurt you." I whispered sadly.

"Yet you told Luke." he sighed.

"No I didn't tell Luke, he guessed!" I cried.

"Okay, I'm sorry." he whispered as he pulled me into his arms.

After holding me for a few moments, he quickly let go.

"Stay here." he told me.

"Where are you going?" I asked him.

"Stay here." he whispered.

He left and closed the door behind himself. I knew exactly where he was going and I had to stop him.

I quickly opened the door, and ran down the hall after him.

"Ashton!" I called. He stopped and turned to face me.

"Please don't do this!" I cried.

"I have too." he told me.

"I can't let you do this, we have to stay away from him." I pleaded.

"Stay here Laura." he stated before walking away again. I began to follow him closely behind.

"What are you doing?" he asked turning to me in annoyance.

"I'm coming with you." I told him.

"No you're not." he insisted.

"Either we go together or neither of us go." I answered, my hands on my hips.

He smiled and took my hand. We slowly walked back to his room.

As we snuggled up in bed, I felt him gently stroking my hair.

Eventually I drifted off to sleep and awoke when dawn broke.

As I turned over in bed, I saw that I was alone. Ashton had gone, and I knew exactly where.

AN- Hope you guys like this chapter :)
