LACEY'S POV:

It was dead silent for a good half hour and Ashton soon began to cry.

"What's bothering you?" I asked, crossing my legs and setting the notepad onto my knee, preparing to write down his answer...if he answered.

He shook his head.

I sighed, "we won't get anything done unless you t-write down what's been bothering you."

He - again - rapidly shook his head.

"I once knew a girl who was creative and fun," I began.

"She'd laugh, she'd giggle, and she'd smile. Reality caved in; she realized this world wasn't meant for happy people, only for followers. To please the people that surrounded her, she turned off the switch of happiness and now lives a bland life. Someone special suddenly popped up, she knew she couldn't be friends with him. She tried so so hard to push him away, but he only came closer. He hid his sadness behind long-sleeved shirts and empty smiles."

He suddenly put the notepad he brought onto my lap.

It read:

Are you talking about yourself?

I smiled sadly as I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

"I'm sorry," I apologized and wiped at my eyes.

His green eyes widened.

Ashton shook his head over and over again, as if not believing something he thought.

"What is it?" I whispered.

He suddenly grabbed my wrist, exposing the red, flaring pentagon underneath my skin.

But he did something that surprised me.

He eagerly pulled down the sleeve of his gray sweater and I gasped.

There it was; almost the same thing, but instead of a pentagon the object underneath his skin was square and the color of his eyes.
