Ashton’s POV

I woke up in a tangled mess on the bed with Calum. Our legs were entwined but my body was half off the bed and Calum was snoring with his mouth open on his side of the bed. It wasn’t very cute. I pulled my body over to his side and poked him.

He didn’t wake up. I poked him again.

“What.” He said with his eyes closed.

“You’re drooling all over my pillow.” I whispered.

“No your pillow is getting in the way of my drool.”

I took my pillow and threw it onto him. He finally opened his eyes and wiped his mouth.

“I’ll get you back Irwin.” He said to me.

“Oh yeah?” I taunted.

He came over to me and engulfed me in a bear hug. I laughed and squirmed to get out of his grip. I finally broke free but then his hand reached out and grabbed my wrist.

I winced in pain. He immediately dropped my hand and a look of sorrow took over his face.

“I’m so sorry Ashton, I didn’t mean to, I just forgot-”

“Cal, it’s okay.” I gave him a reassuring smile.

I walked over to my dresser to get some sweatpants since I was still in my boxers and Calum looked down and blushed. I gave him a funny look. Did he just blush at me? I mean we’re just mates.

I quickly pulled on my sweatpants and my mother called me down for breakfast.

Oh yeah, she doesn't know Calum is here.

I just shrugged and motioned for us to go downstairs.

When my mom saw us she raised her eyebrows. “Oh Cal, I didn’t know you were here.”

“Hi Anne.”

“I’m sorry Cal, but I’m going to have to ask you to leave. I need to speak with my son.”

I glared at my mother. Rude.

“Oh. Okay. Well see ya later Ash.” Calum nodded his head and left.

“Mom!”

My mother just waved her hand and sat down at the table, motioning for me to take the seat across from her. “I’m afraid we didn’t get the chance to finish our conversation at the hospital.”

I slowly sat down and acted confused. “What?”

“What really happened Ashton?” She asked.

“I told you I did this to myself.”

“How?”

“U-um I stabbed my wrists.”

“Ashton, I am your mother. Do you really think you can lie to me? And really? You stabbed your wrists? That doesn't even make sense.” She raged. “Lemme see your wound.”

I instinctively brought my hand to my chest and shielded it.

“Ashton, please.”

I shook my head.

She let out a big sigh and pushed her hands through her hair.

“Ashton, please just tell me the truth. What really happened?”

I just shook my head again.

“You know you can tell me anything right?”

I nodded my head and said nothing.

My mom broke down. She started to sob.

It made me cry too. I felt wet tears roll down my cheeks. My hand was still clutched to my chest and my head was bowed.

“Why won’t you trust me?” She asked.

I said nothing. She wouldn’t believe me if I told her. I would be sent to a mental hospital for sure.

She got up and threw out the breakfast she made for us. Then she walked upstairs and stayed there for the rest of the day.

 

~~~

The next day, my mother’s whole composure changed. She was no longer weak. It actually frightened me a bit.

She woke me up at six o’clock in the morning. “Wake up. You’re going to school today. If you can sit around and watch TV all day, you can sit around and listen to teachers all day.”

I groaned and rolled over in bed.

She walked over and threw off the covers.

“Mom!” I whined.

“You also have to bring Lauren and Harry to school, I gotta leave.”

“Where are you going?”

“That’s none of your business. You have to bring them home from school as well. If you forget, you’re grounded.” She folded her arms and waited until I got out of the bed to leave the room.

I had to drop Harry off at the elementary school and Lauren at the middle school so I was late to my own classes.

I rushed in at last minute just as people were heading to the classes but I had to get my books from my locker.

I was suddenly interrupted by a certain red haired boy slamming me against the lockers. “WHERE THE HELL IS LUKE?” He screamed.

“I don’t know!” I screamed back. I didn’t like screaming but I had enough and I was frustrated because I hadn’t heard from Luke.

Michael looked down at my bandaged wrist and then back to my eyes. “What the hell did you do?”

When I didn’t reply he screamed “WHAT DID YOU DO ASHTON?”

I couldn’t help but break down for the second time in two days. “I don’t remember.” I sobbed.

“What do you remember?” Michael urged.

“There were hunters and Luke was weak and then they came and I gave Luke my blood but then he- he didn’t stop and I don’t remember anything else.” I was a blubbering mess and The tears rolled down my cheeks.

Michael let me go and stood back but I didn’t move. I wasn’t afraid of Michael anymore. I would have to get over it.

For the first time ever, Micheal actually looked horrified.

“Do you know where he is?” I pleaded.

“No but you might.”

What?

Whatttttt? What do you guys think is going to happen? Oh and I changed my username slightly because it was the same as my personals and I didn't want anyone from school to find me lol. I'm paranoid. Anyways, please vote and comment!! :)
