Audrey point of view-

"ok um. You guys could just do whatever until we go eat, and if you need clothes tell me." I said.

"where do we sleep?" Ally asked.

"well, I have a pullout bed underneath my bed so someone can slee their, someone can sleep on the couch over their, and someone can take my bed and I'll sleep on the floor tonight." I told them.

"Ally and I can take the pullout bed." Calum said. Ally just nodded.

"I'll take the couch." Michael said.

That leaves Ashton with my bed.

"So Ash you can take my bed. I'll just sleep on the floor tonight." I told him. But he shaked his head.

"NO. I'm not letting you sleep on the ground Audrey." He said.

"Then where will I sleep?" I asked him.  He just smirked.

"On your bed...With me." He said.

Ashton and I sleeping together?  I was suprised he even said that.  

Why would he even want to sleep with me? Its not that I don't want us to sleep together its just, ever since I met Ashton.  He has been nothing but nice to me.  The thought of me in Ashton arms tonight made me have butterflies. I get this weird feeling when I'm around him. 

"You sure you want to sleep with me on the bed?" I asked him.

'Yeah why not." He said. I just smiled in reponse.

I don't know why but i feel safe around Ashton. I want him to wrap his strong arms around me. I want him  to tell me everything is ok.  I want him to comfort me when i need comforting. I want him to treat me like he cares. I want him to protect me. I want him to know what I'm going through so he can help me through it.  I want him to protect me like how io would protect him if he was ever in trouble. But sadly i know he can't protect me from what's happening. No one can. All i have is Amber to rely on. They already did something to Amber. It could've been worse than just a deep cut. 

But the thing is, is that they are coming for me next.  I'm next.

Amber point of view-

Luke was scrolling through his phone and I was watching TV. I was bored out of my mind. I decided to turn the TV off to see if Luke wanted to do something.

" Hey Luke?" I asked.

"What?" He said not looking up from his phone,.

" you wanna do something to kill time?" I asked.

"like what?" He asked putting away his phone.

"uh I don't know." I said.  We just stayed their laying on my bed looking at eachother. We stared at eachother in silence.

Then he spoke up.

"What happened last night Amber?" He asked. I was hoping he wouldn't bring up questions about last night.

"um...Didn't Audrey tell you? Someone attacked me.." I said.

He looked at my arm as if looking for approval to lift the sleeves of my sweetshirt up to see my cut.  I just nodded. He slowly lifted up my sleeves.  He ran his fingers over my bandaged arm. Then scooted closer to me, he did soemthing i didn't think he would do.  He kissed my bandaged arm.  I just smiled like an idiot.  He looked back up at me. 

"Why did this someone attacked you?" He asked. His eyes softened. He looked worried. 

"I don't know." I said.

"you're lying." he said.

"W-what?" i asked him. Why would he think I was lying? Even though I am, why would he think I'm lying?

"I know you're lying Amber. What happened last night." He said. This time he sounds serious.

I sighed not wanting to talk about it.

"Can we not talk about this Luke?" I asked him.

"Fine i won't push you into saying something you don't want to. But if someone is hurting you, you need to tell me." he said.

"Why do you need to know? Plus no one is hurting me." I said. That was a lie. i ahve people around me constantly wanting to hurt me. 

" I need to know Amber. I want to protect you from the bad people in this world. I want to be the one fighting for you. I want to be the one making sure you're ok.-" He said but I cut him off.

"W-why me? Why would you want to protect me out of all people." I choked on my words.

"Because." he said.

"Because..." I said wanting him to continue.

"Because. I-" he said but didn't continue. 

" Because. Uh...I like you as a friend and i want you to be safe. I don't want anything happening to you." he said. I just smiled as a response.

For a second I thought he was going to say he likes me. But that'll never happen. Because he doesn't like you Amber. Stop dayreaming. He never liked you that way and he probably never will.  But the way he said that he wanted to protect me, made me happy.  It made me realised that he actually cared.

I wonder what made me liked him. The way he laughs, the way he smiles, the way he gets all overprotective over nothing, how he gets worried when there's nothing to be worried about, the way he talks to me like he cares, he's perfect in every way, he has no flaws. But me on the otherhand i'm ugly.

How did I even have feelings for him in the first place? Was it because of the time we kissed? Did i even realised I had feelings for him after the kiss?

 I don't even know anymore.

But they aren't even huge feelings. Its like having a small crush.

 At least that's what I've been telling myself.
