Ashton's POV
I let out a loud shriek before a hand was over my mouth.
"Shhh" the boy said.
I instantly recognized the voice as Luke's.
"What's are you doing?" I said in a loud whisper.
"What happened with you and Jack?" He asked.
Should I tell him. He probably know already. Everyone knows about how weak I am.
"He's. well. He's kind of. He's my bully" I finally let out in a sigh.
"What?" Luke said confused.
"He's my bully. Every jock has a target. I'm the quarterbacks. He hits me, kicks me, calls me names. Should I continue" I sighed.
"This is serious. Nobody deserves to get bullied. He could really hurt you Ash" he said with a concerned look on his face.
"No! Just stop. Luke I'm fucking sick of all of this" I yelled on the verge of tears.
"What are you talking about?!?! I'm just trying to help!" He yelled back at me.
"You don't fucking care. Just stop it. You won't help me. You can't. And I don't want you too" I said rolling my eyes.
"You will just make life a living hell for you! You don't care. Stop yelling yourself you do, you don't want to. Caring means getting stuck on someone. Then they just leave you, they will be gone forever. And you will never stop wondering, if they cared back, or if they just felt bad. I know" I said looking at my hands. Now crying.
"Ash I'm s-"
"You're not. You have it good Luke. You don't know how it feels to have everyone hate you. Everyone fucking loves you" I yelled still sobbing.
"They don't love me. They love my money. They don't know the real me. As much as I wish they did, they don't" he said looking at me.
"They don't hate you though" I said sniffing.
"You're right. They don't hate me" was all he said.
"But people hating you can be good. You said you don't like attention" he said looking at the wall.
"You're right. It's not that I don't like it. I just don't know it" I said looking right in his eyes.
"They won't hate you forever" he said standing up.
He grabbed my hand and walked to the hallway, it was empty.
I pulled my hand out of his grip quickly so nobody will see. I can't ruin his life.
We walked out the door and walked down the street.
After about 30 minutes of walking we got to a little pond with a tree house.
"What is this place?" I asked looking with awe.
"It was my hang out. But now it's ours" he said grabbing my hand and running p the stairs that led to it.
I'm falling hard for this boy.
