|Reagan|
I woke up this morning, did my normal routine, and then drove my way to school.
I saw Ashton over by his locker talking to Calum.
Calum made eye contact with me and I looked away pretty quickly, when I turned away I felt his eyes still on me making me feel uncomfortable.
"Hey!" Ashton said motioning his head for me to come over to them.
I just shook my head and he gave me a confused look and mouthed 'why'. I held up my math textbook and gave him a weak smile. All he did was give me a pouty face which caused me to giggle to myself at his childish behavior.
***
During lunch Ashton was with his group and of course Calum was sitting with them.
I tried to avoid him because I figured I'd get enough of him later today. They were inside so I went outside and sat down just reading this new book I got "The Fault In Our Stars"
I was at the part when Hazel found it hard to breathe and began to tear up.
Suddenly, I felt two hands cover my eyes and I thought it was Calum so I kind of jumped.
"Guess who?" The person said.
"Channing Tatum?" I joked.
"Nope, better." They said.
"Hmmmm-"
"ASHTON!!!!!" He screamed.
He removed his hand from my eyes and then took a seat beside me. "You honestly think you're better than Channing Tatum?" I laughed. "Hell yeah!" He yelled. "Well you are pretty great." I said "Yeah I know" he paused "So what's up, why didn't you sit with us at lunch today?" My body tensed up, I knew I couldn't tell him the real reason. "Oh, I've just been busy studying this new math stuff."
My voice was shaky. "Reagan, you know you tell me anything, I'm here for you, okay?" He said as he intwined our fingers together.
"I know but there's nothing to tell Ashton." "Okay, but know that if there is then you can talk to me." "I know." I laughed at how much he was pushing.
He moved a lock of my hair away from my face and gave me a friendly kiss on my temple causing me to relax a bit and close my eyes.
"Ashton ther-" I was cut of my Calum coming outside and yelling "Ashton come look at this"
"Hang on" Ashton yelled back.
I'll come over tonight and we can watch a movie or something yeah?"
"Okay." I smiled and then he ran back inside.

I was at home and it was about 7:00pm on a Friday night. I was changed out of my uniform into some jean shorts and an Angels for Allison t shirt.
Ashton said he'd be here around 7:45 so now it was time for me to meet Calum.
Yay me
***
I pulled up in the parking lot of the field and got out of my car waiting for Calum.
"Good, you're here early." He said
"Yeah, I guess so."
He came over to me and grabbed my arm causing me to stand up from the bleachers.
"So what were you gonna tell Ash earlier today at lunch huh?" he questioned.
"Oh nothing we were just talking about our classes and stuff" I lied. "Reagan, don't play coy with me"he said gripping me tighter causing me to bite my tongue from pain.
"I don't know what you're talking about?" I said.
"Look at me!" He demanded. And then we made eye contact with each other. I tried not to look but I was too afraid.
It was silent for a few seconds until he pushed me back making be stumble into the bleachers causing the sharp edge sink into the back of my skin.

He let out a laugh and then came closer to me.
"Now the fun begins" he said
I was now standing up against the side of the bleachers.

He walked back away then came closer and right then he punched me right in the gut.
I grabbed my stomach and winced in pain.

He told me to shut up and stay quiet. I closed my eyes and felt his fist come in contact with my cheek making me turn away.
My mind went blank and everything went black, the last thing I remember was the side of my stomach being kicked hard. And that was it.
***
I finally woke up in the same spot I was in earlier. I looked around and saw no sign of Calum. Nowhere, he was nowhere.

That bastard just fucking left me alone. I could've died.

I checked the time and it was 8:00

Oh shit Ashton!

I walked around the corner that led to the parking lot to see a talk figure standing there pacing back and forth.

When they noticed me they came running towards me, I was too weak to run away so I just stood there.

As they got closer I could tell who it was.

"Ashton?"
