I wake with a jump. I take in my surroundings. I let out the breath I'm holding when I realize I'm in Ashton's room. I curl back under the comforter and let my breathing go back to normal. The light peeking through the window tells me it's the middle of the day and I should probably go join the living. I walk down the stairs into the living room where everyone is seated, talking in hushed tones. Anne looks up at me and a big, bright, fake smile is soon plastered to her face. David, who is seated beside her hushes everyone and place a hand on Anne's knee. I'm surprised when Ashton doesn't make a comment, not even a grunt of disgust. "Piper!" Anne says cheerfully. "How are you?"
I stare at Ashton who stays seated on the couch, looking down at his locked fingers, that rest on his legs. He hasn't looked at me once. "I'm- I'm fine." I say without looking away from him.
"That's good dear." Anne says. Lauren and Harry are sitting across from Anne and David on the red love seat. Both are incredibly quiet, which is unusual, and looking at their laps.
"What's going on?" I ask. No one makes eye contact with me. "Will someone please tell me what's going on!?" I begin to shout.
"Pipes." Ashton speaks up. He looks at me. He has dark circles under his glossy, red eyes. He sounds as if he's been smoking everyday or crying for a long time. "Come here baby, look."
I walk over to him and sit beside him in the large chair. He hands a newspaper to me and my eyes pop out of my head. "What is this?"
"It must have been Chad. Only he would be looking for you." Ashton says.
"But I'm not missing!!!" I throw the newspaper down on the coffee table and throw myself backwards into the chair.
"We know that, but everyone else that read this mornings paper or turned in the tv or radio think you are." He says sadly. "I'm sorry Piper."
"Honey, maybe you can explain to us why this man is so obsessed with you, and then maybe we could help." Anne says.
"Harry, Lauren, you're gonna have to leave. Go to your rooms please." Ashton tells them.
Once Harry and Lauren leave the room and we hear their doors shut I begin to tell Anne and David the history between Chad and I. Anne starts to cry when I've finished and David is fuming. Ashton left part way through and We heard him break something in the kitchen. "That's why he's after me."
"We have to go to the police." David says.
"I agree." Ashton says from behind me.
"No." I demand. "We have to help someone first."
"Who sweetie?" Anne chokes out.
"The one who let me go." I say. "Luke."
"Luke!?" Anne yells. "He is such a nice boy why would he be associated with such dirtbags!?" She shouts.
"Mum, relax. He let her go." Ashton says calmly.
"I can't even imagine what they've done to him. Once they find out it was him who helped me, they're going to kill him." I tell them.
David nods his head. "I have a plan."
--------------------------------------------
"No fucking way." Ashton says.
"Ash. Please." I beg.
"She'll be safe Ashton, nothing will happen to her." David reassures him.
"I agree with Ashton, I don't like this plan." Anne says.
"I'm doing it. And there is nothing," I point to Ashton, "any of you can do to stop me."
David gives me an encouraging smile, Anne frowns but nods her head, and Ashton is glaring at me.
