Connection

Chapter 7

Ashton P. O. V

I never thoguht i liked Kelly so much. After today when she was looking after me i just realised how much i actually liked her. She is one of the nicest caring girls i know she deserves better than that asshole, Luke seriously he beat me up and i could see in her eyes that she disliked him doing that. But now that ive been thinking we almost kissed d-does she like me. I felt my face lighten up I start to jump on my bed with joy feeling cramps within my ribs but i was to happy to even feel an inch of pain. My sister Lauren bulldozed into my room "okay ashton who's the girl?" She questioned with a smile followed by a chuckle. I am really close with my family and i can talk to my sister about anything i still dont trust my little brother. Lauren always knows when i have a crush on someone and she just knew me so well that she could tell i liked a girl just from smiling at my phone. "Her name is Kelly," I answered her smiling bigger than i ever have before. She walks over and sits on the edge of my bed. I felt myself start to stare off in thoughts of Kelly she was just out standing. "Details please" she exclaimes waving her hand in my face. "Well she's my age, she's short, tan, she has longish light brown hair and brown eyes, she isnt a girly girl she is the type of girl that wear band singlets and tank tops with black skinny jeans and boots she isnt like all the other girls, she wears make-up but its not like cake face most of the time its only mascara whatever that is,unless she has pimples or patchy skin well thats what she told me. Shes so cool and chilled, we have our music class together and are partnered up for an assignment so i see her alot this semester and boy an i happy that i get to see her for a full 70 minutes 3 times a week, and holy shit she can sing but..." my face dropped and is now full of sadness, "but?" Lauren asked. "She has a boyfriend called Luke, and i got a lift to school with Kelly, Luke found out and he bashed me up and i was really hurt, but Luke really likes her." "Oh wtf! he bashed you, he sound like a fuck head" Lauren whispered. "He is you dont even understand Lauren" i replied rolling my eyes continuously. "Is there anything else i need to know about her?" She interrogated. "Argh, well today she was looking after me since i was way more injured than i am now and we almost kissed" I responded rubbing the back of my neck. "O-M-G ASHTON she is sooo into you!!!!" she squealed, "but sh-she is dating Luke" I stuttered. I was happy and also shocked at what Lauren had just said to me, like i was happy hearing that from another girl, so i know for sure that she likes me but im shocked because her a Luke were meant to be according to all her friends. "Who give a shit about Luke he's a dick knob Kelly is clearly into you like seriously you guys almost kissed and to be honest girls dont nessesarily always like the guy that they are dating sometimes you start liking another guy and make sure the feelings are mutual and then breaks it off with the other guy, trust me i would know" she explained giving me a look of guilt with a slight smirk. "Mmm okay, so enough talk about me. Do you like anyone?" i questioned nudging her. "Argh, shucks well i do like this guy and his name is Blake" she chuckled letting out a tiny sigh. "Awwww! Laurens got a crush, Laurens got a crush, Laurens got a crush" i repeated unti lshe went red with embarrassment, "shut up and go to sleep nit wit" she demmanded walked out of my room.

In my book Lauren is a year older than Ashton. ( 17 years old )

I went to sleep forgetting to apply my cream to my bruises. But i fell asleep within the time you could blink, i was so tired and a little bit sore. But Kelly cured that.

I wake up to mum opening my door telling me to wake up. I am a really light sleeper. I woke up in the best mood i have been in weeks. Kelly just always brightened up my mood.

Lukes P. O. V

I got onto the bus to see Ashton already sitting on the bus along with a group of other kids. He really gets on my nerves. I sat down at the middle back seat. I saw Ashton look back at me and i just sat a smiled as i could see that ashton trying to hide his black eye. I know i bashed the kid but to be honest who cares he's a nobody to everyone besides Alana but there friends so it doesn't count, plus the lad needed someone to straighten him out since he's walking around stealing other guys girls. He looked back to the front of the bus so i did the same.

We finally arrived at school the bus ride felt longer than usual but at least i was there. I was down the hall not cracking a single smile just kept an aggravated expression feeling a familiar hand reach up onto my shoulder. "Hey," It was Kelly, great. "Where were you yesterday?" i asked, "your not ignoring me" i heard her mumble under her breathe. "uh um i was sick" she responded giving me an awkward and unsure face. "But Luke you walked straight past me and you are holding the angriest face, you usually walk everywhere with a smile this isnt like you at all, since we started dating you have completely changes in face you have turned sorta mean" she reported to me. "How would you know that ive changed, and i am not mean i cant even hurt a fly seriously Kell you should know me by now" I lied trying to sound like a better person. She just started laughing and laughing. "What?" i respond with a firm and annoyed voice. "You cant hurt a fly haha thats the funniest joke i heard in years" she said lauhging her head off. "I cant though" i lied again. "Thats why you based Ashton," she answered with her face dropping into a serious and angry expression. "How do you know i bashed him huh?"
"I was with him all yesturday helping him recover, because he was covereed with bruises from head to toe he could walk, eat, drink he could even fucking sit up Luke, luckily im a good friend and was there to him i fed him i got him drinks with straws i helped him sit and stand up, your lucky that he didnt want to shower, he was to scared to tell Alana for some reason, but seriouly what the hell did he ever do for you to hate him so much. Cause all he is, is an inoccent boy that is just trying to fit in and make new friends," She yelled in my face. "Kell, i dont wanna lose you he is taking you away from me okay" i repond raising my vioce "wow we have a few classes together and we are partners for an assignment, he is so taking me away from you, ha typical" I look down at my feet feeling stupid, i look back up staring into her eyes. I grabbed her ands a held them in mine. Her hands are so soft, I clench my eyes together with fear and sadness. "He likes you okay Kelly, i just really dont wanna lose you and i love you so much im just trying to protect us as a relationship" i felt a tear run down the surface of my cheeks. "Well now you only have to protect yourself cause now, there is no more us." She yanks her hands out of my grip flicking her hair in my face, walking off to 'our' area. I felt my heart shatter into a billion pieces as the words fell out her mouth. I cant even sit near her im to hurt to see her face, maybe i should find a new friend.

Ashton saw and heard the whole thing im pretty sure, as he was with Natalie right behind Kelly. When She walked off Natalie and Ashton walk off with her. More and more tears run down my face, i grab my hair sliding down my locker to floor, i press my legs up to my chest placing my face in between my knees. I felt the tears dripping non-stop onto my jeans causing to wet patches on my knees. But my its the last thing i care about, how could i be so stupid. I actually loved her but she clearly didnt love me. I feel so weak and broken without her. I picked myself up off of the floor, wiped my tears away, i walked to my next class with red puffy eyes and stained pink cheecks i felt a little bit of déjà vu but some stuff were a bit off. I got lookes and laughs as i walked the halls, as soon i reached me Math classroom i saw Alana sitting in the room already i went and plopped myself down in the desk next to hers realising that she doesnt really like sitting with the popular kids. "Hey so, argh, um i was wondering if you wanted to sit with me at lunch?" i asked. Alana looked up hearing my voice and looked around saw no one and pointed towards herself "me?" she questioned. "Of corse you, there is no one else here, haha your funny." He cheecks started to go a bit of a redy pink colour. "B-but i already have to sit with you, because of Ash"
"Well i mean alone away from them" i answered with a shaky voice. "Cause me and Kelly broke up and i noticed that you didnt really like sitting with the popular people" i said nervously. "Yeah i dont really fancy it, but okay ill sit with you and im so sorry to hear about you and Kelly you look devistated you must of really liked her" she replied with a bit of a concerned face. "yeah i did like her alot, and thank you so much."
"Its alright and just remember im always here for you, no matter what." Alana whispered. She is so nice to me well she is the only girl being nice to me at the moment because of Kelly and I breaking up. I smile at her showing a bit of teeth.

So lunch came and i walked with Alana to where her and Ashton used to sit. It was so nice sitting with Alana. It was actually a realy nice spot causes it was quiet and the wind came passwith made the area alot cooler and the whole lunch me and Alana created jokes with eachother and nick names she now calls me 'LuLu' and I call her 'Anala' (its her name spelt backwards) But for the rest of the day it was nice being with someone new and when i was with Alana i completly forgot about Kelly and we laughed and giggled created inside jokes with eachother it just felt nice, it made me feel fresh and new. I feel like the rest of the week is gonna be good. I also have a good feeling about Alana.
