Knock. Knock. knock.

I stood pondering whether I'd made the best decision of knocking. But my mind was soon made when the door swung open.

"Charlotte! Your soaking! Where have you been? We've been worried sick!" Ms Irwin ushered me in quickly, her eyes full of worry. "lets get you into the warm"

She pulled me into the living room and sat me down on the sofa. She covered me in blankets, attempting to rise my body temperature.

The door creaked open and I turned my attention to see Ashton stood in the doorway.

He came and sat down next too me. Neither of us said anything, we just sat in a uncomfortable silence until his mum walked in.

"Oh. Ashton what are you doing up?" She placed the mug down, that was in her hand, on the coffee table in front of us.

"I came too see Charlotte" he didn't change his blank expression even for a moment while speaking. His voice was low and quite, I could barely string together his sentence.

"Okay well I'll leave you two together then" she shuffled out of the room, quietly shutting the door behind her. From her reaction I new she had picked up Ashton's emotions.

I peered over at Ashton, only now had I noticed his appearance. His curly mop of brown hair was stuck up everywhere. The red circles under his eyes showed lack of sleep and dehydration.

"Are you ok?" Even though he really didn't look it i wanted too ask anyway.

"No" he was being really blunt and I honestly didn't know why.

"Are you upset with me?"

"Yes"

"Why?"

"Because"

"If your going to be so rude I'm going to go upstairs" I stood up off the sofa and trudged towards the door.

"Wait" he finally took his eyes off the floor and looked over at me. "I was worried about you"

"You barely know me. Why would you be worried?"

"You were gone for five hours and didn't bother too say anything too us. Of corse I'd be worried about you" his eyes were sad, they didn't shine like they normally do. Anyone would be stupid too not make amends with a boy like this.

I walked back over to the sofa and perched on the edge.

"I'm sorry, I was feeling low about my brother and the man the advice centre didn't help" I looked away, trying not to make eye contact with him.

"It's ok I understand, it must be hard for you after all this" his voice was low but sweet. It felt relaxing to hear that someone cared.

I sighed not really wanting to say anything.

"Come here" he patted on the sofa next too him, motioning for me to sit back properly.

I shuffled backwards and Ashton put his arm around me. I leant on his chest and tucked my knees on the sofa.

After a while I felt my eyes getting heavy, I let the urge take over me and allowed them to shut.

I felt Ashton place a soft kiss on my forehead. Hoping it wasn't a dream I smiled too my self and let my slumber take over...
