Red Rose Turned Black

Chapter 2

Hopefully this chapter doesn't suck too much. I'm honestly not too confident in my writing, but I wanna be.

**Anastasia's pov**

I walked down the street, keeping my head down. I just wanted to get home, well what I have for a home that is. Besides hiding what I am from the guys and Sammi, I'v also been hiding where I really live. I have Sammi drop me off in front my neighbors. I'm friends with him, so he doesn't mind when I use his address as mine. But really I live in the trailer park not too far away. I'm lucky I have enough money to have a pay-as-you-go phone as well. It's a really low-tech phone too. It's not even a flip phone, that's how low-tech it is. Oh well, at least I have something.

Being lost in my thoughts and not paying attention I bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry," I said quietly before walking away, not bothering to see who it was. But then I felt a hand on my arm.

"Well look who it is. If it isn't little miss freak show."

I hissed, "Go away Laine."

"What's wrong? Don't like being called a freak? Well guess what, that's what you are bitch." he laughed.

I kicked him hard in the shin.

"Fuck, you little bitch." There was suddenly a stinging pain in my face...he had slapped me. I kneed him in the groin and took off running. I heard him yell after me, "Bitch! Get back here!"

I got about  four blocks before I ran into someone.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry."

I was about to start running again when the person grabbed me.

"Ana?"

I turned around to see Ashley.

"Oh, hey Ash." I looked around him and saw Laine about half a block away. "Well I gotta go bye," I said quickly as I started running again. But Ashley ran after me and grabbed my arm.

"Something wrong?" he asked, concerned.

"Nope I just really gott-"

"Aw, did the bitch find another freak to protect her?" I heard Laine tease.

"Just leave me alone Laine," I said angrily.

He tried to hit me, but Ash stopped him.

"Get the fuck outta here before I beat your ass," he hissed.

Luckily Laine didn't put up a fight today and just left.

"I could'v handled that," I said annoyed.

"Sure," he smirked. "Anyways, I'm glad I ran into you. The guys and I wanted to get together with you so we could ask you something."

"Um, okay."

I followed Ashley to his car and got in. Then we were headed for his house.

"Look who I brought!" he yelled excitedly as he walked through the door.

"Ana!" the rest of the guys exclaimed when they saw me.

"Hey guys," I said with a slight smile. "Um, not to be rude but I gotta get back home. So what did you guys wanna ask me?"

"I guess we'll skip the build up and just ask," Andy stated. "Do you wanna go on tour with us?"

I stood there shocked.
