❝Chapter 2❞

I don't need to tell you about school, everyone knows what it's like, lessons,homework,shit. You get the picture. I did have one friend here though, Zara Boardman. She's like the biggest nerd you could find here, but Topaz never bothered her, just me. Why? Zara approached me in the hallway.
"You okay love.." She trailed off pushing her glasses up her nose. She clutched onto the straps of her bag tightly. I just shrugged.
"Guess so."
She faintly smiled and we walked towards the room where we had our first lesson.

*Ava's Point Of View*

Me&Ashton where tangled up with each other on the sofa. My head laid resting on his chest and he would occasionally kiss my forehead. I liked these times, we only usually spent quiet times and cuddles on a couple of afternoons. I felt his warm embrace of body heat vibrate on me, it made me feel secure & make me forget the world for a minute.
"I'm worried about Ella at the minute, she's been so distant lately, always cooped away in her room." I sighed playing with Ashton's fingers.
"She's probably got a lot of homework, they get a lot at this age. You worry too much." He replied looking over towards me. I just shrugged and exhaled deeply. Ashton left tiny,wet kisses on my neck. I snuggled my face into his neck and we lay there for several more hours, they went by like seconds.

*4 Hours Later*

My eyes fluttered open. My first instinct was to look at the side of me to see if Ashton was still lying there. Strangely he wasn't. The next thing I did was glance at the clock, it had just struck 4pm. I stretched out and made my way to the kitchen. I could see Ashton messing around in there, I think it was an attempt to make dinner. I slightly chuckled to myself as I watched him struggle and fail badly. Ashton heard me and his face was like a lost child, utterly clueless.
"Your so cute." You cooed walking over to him kissing his cheek. His cheeks turned a soft pink colour because of embarrassment. He then continued chopping various vegetables on the chopping board. I eyeballed him causing him to loose focus, he was utterly hopeless.
"Your distracting me!" He whined slamming down the knife.
"Fine... I'll just leave then..." I said trailing off smirking, continuously walking slowly away.
"Not that kind of distraction." He replied gripping his hands on my waist and pulling me back. His arms drooped just below my waist and his kissed me passionately. Our kiss was interrupted by the slamming of the front door. I was making out the person from it's silhouette shadow, it was Ella. She didn't bother to come in and say hey, she just immediately vanished upstairs, no traces behind. Me&Ashton looked at each other in utter confusion.
"I'll go see whats up with her." Ashton assured me. He then followed the Ella's footsteps up the stairs.

*Ella's Point Of View*

Well today ended in complete failure. At least thats what I was feeling. When the final bell rang that indicated school was over, I was walking in the deserted corridor until I heard various screams and shouts from the other end.
"Stop mom! I don't want to go! Please." I heard a loud whine. Topaz appeared being dragged by her bare wrists.
"Well tough, it's not your choice, your life depends on this Topaz now your going to that school!" The woman who was dragging her. I could only just make out a few basic features and body shape. As I got closer Topaz casted her eyes over to me and flipped her hair back simultaneously.
"Go away Irwin! This has nothing to do with you!" Topaz growled like a dog. Well she practically is one. The woman turned to face me. Her face was red with anger and rage, like she was about to explode. She looked down at me and study my face deeply. I was really disturbed. I shuffled back a little before the woman snapped at me.
"Oh yeah... I remember you. Your that bitch Ava's daughter aren't you?" She snarled. How did she know me or my mum? Then the memories from that night came flooding back. I rushed home, not bothering to go back to the forest. It was her.... The woman arguing in the road, that night, the accident. It wasn't my fault.
Daria Shaw was back, after 6 years?
Why?
