-Ashton-

As Jade and I flee from the school, her light giggles fill my ears as she smiles and runs faster.

We run hand in hand away from the school and towards her house.

We reach her door and she unlocks it. She shuts it behind me and we both pant heavily from the amount of running we just did. I immediately go up to her room and collapse as she makes her way to me.

"I'm going to get changed," she says. My heart jumps because she's comfortable enough with me to be able to get dressed and wear short sleeves.

"Here," I say to her. I pull my shirt over my head and I hand it to her. She takes it and looks at me confused.

"Wear my shirt," I say to her.

"Okay." She mumbles and she turns around and slips her jumper off, leaving her in just her school dress. My eyes automatically look at her arms and I gasp. I know that she selfharms, but I didn't know she does it that deep.

Thick, dark red scars cover the whole of her arm. She must've cut deep enough to get some nerve damage. Both of her arms are scarred so badly and I catch myself staring at her. My eyes whip away from her arms, knowing that she will be extremely uncomfortable with me staring at her.

I turn around and I grab her guitar. I start strumming and I hear her slip off her dress.

I turn and face her and her body is standing there, playing with my shirt. All she's wearing is a bra and panties and I can't help myself. I stare at her body as she moves and pulls my shirt over her head. My shirt falls down to the middle of her thigh and she looks sexy as hell wearing my shirt. She lets out her hair from the tight ponytail and she shakes her head, causing her fringe to fall over her eyes.

She turns to me and starts laughing.

"What?" I ask.

"I could see you staring that whole time... I think you forgot that there's a mirror right there, I could see you." She mumbles, brushing a hand through her hair.

I can hear my heart beat in my ears as I stare at her legs. My shirt on her looks different because of her breasts. I'm used to seeing my shirt being flat. But I love it.

She walks over to me and I sit at the edge of her bed. She walks and stands in between my legs and I grab the back of her thighs. I run my hands up and down her legs and she smiles down at me. I'm so happy that she's comfortable like this around me.

"Are you okay?" I ask her quietly as she sits on my left leg. She runs her fingers through my hair and I sigh dreamily.

"I'm feeling a lot better now," she says to me. I smile and she smiles back.

"What's gonna happen with the band Ash?" She asks me.

Fuck. I haven't thought about that.

"Oh shit! I- I honestly don't know anymore, I'm pretty sure Luke and Michael are pretty pissed at Calum for doing that to you." I say to her. She groans and lies back on the bed, cuddling into a pillow.

I lean forward and prop my head into my hands. I massage my head. What the heck is going to happen with the band. We only just got together and decided to make a full band now that Luke is in it. Fuck.

"Don't worry, the rest of the guys and you will make up with Calum soon. You guys have known each other for years, and you've only known me for 1 month. If anything, you guys should be on Calums side, not mine." She says, sitting up next to me. She wraps her arm around my waist and leans her head onto my shoulder.
