Better In Time - Ashton Irwin / 5SOS Fanfic

Chapter 10

*MAY POSSIBLY TRIGGER YOU: WARNING*

After I'd escaped from Sir's room at lunch, I ran to the field, my legs carrying me as fast as possible to were my friends were. As soon as I got to the top of the field, my eyes darted around trying to find my friends. Blonde hair, Brown hair, a bag, anything i recognized. Unfortunately, there was no sign of them. They'd had probably gone in to town for lunch. I turned on my heel, about to exit the field when I felt a strong hand push me from behind. As you could probably tell, I wasn't at all prepared for this at all so I stumbled forward clumsily, falling into a large patch of mud. All I could hear were muffled laughs and my heart pounding in my ears. My vision was blurry as well. I tried to make out who was laughing at me, but no such luck. Suddenly,  I felt a sharp pain in my scalp and my head darted straight forward. I pushed myself up from the mud patch, trying to get away. Again, no luck. 

"Oh, look, the fat slut showed up" A low voice cackled. I immediately knew who it was. My ex-crush, Harry. I'd liked him for a while, then I asked him out. Worst mistake of my life. He said no (of course) and then the next day, rumors started to spread about me. I was then called worthless, a slut, whore, fat, emo, so much more. That's when I started cutting. 

"Please stop," I stammered "I thought we'd got over this"

He didn't answer but he lunged for something on the floor. It was until then I realised it was my phone. It was bleeping like crazy. 

"Who's this Ashton guy? Another crush of yours, El?" He sneered. Ashton was texting me. Oh god. He swiped a message and i didn't have a passcode because I'd taken it off last night so he could see my texts.

"Every things going horribly wrong Ashton. Everything. I might as well just die. Nobody cares about me .I wish you were here with me :(XXX" He imitated my voice, as tears spilled out of my eyes I couldn't fight back. I was too weak.

"EL? Please El. Text me back. I care. I love you gorgeous. Please" Harry read aloud. He laughed and threw my phone at me. "You're so pathetic El, you really are. Kill yourself"

I grabbed my phone (which now had a huge smash in it) and ran to the front of the school. I had a little space where nobody went. It was my little place. As soon as I got there, I dialled Ashton's number. He picked up immediately

"El?"

"A-A-Ashton?" 

"El, oh thank god you're okay! Are you at school, what's happened?"

I told Ashton everything and how I wished he was here right now. He was still in the UK, but very far from where I lived. He told me to stay strong and he'd come and see me as soon as possible. Sooner than I thought.
