Out of My Limit

What can I do?

~Ash's POV~

So... I make her nervous? She's this incredibly beautiful girl and I make her nervous?! I caught calum's eye, and he smirked at me. I simply rolled my eyes. Ciara went behind Calum, jumping onto his back. I watched. She looked so happy. Why can't I make her that happy? He asked her a question though. Mustve been something sad, she got off his back quickly.

She nodded a yes as her answer. What did he ask? He pulled her right into a hug, I saw his shoulders heave with a sigh. She rested her head in the crook of his neck. She said something to him, so he let go and kissed her forehead. She smiled at him, very slightly.

She walked to michael, who attempted to flirt with her. Shes mine.

Instead, I walked over to calum.

~Calum's POV~

I had to ask her something. I've been thinking about it. Okay.. but why would she think I'd forget her. We were best friends. Nobody knew that. But we were.

I felt a force on my back, but held her up. Of course it was her. She always did that.

"Ciara?" I asked.

"Y-Yeah?" she stuttered nervously because I never call her by her full name.

"Are you still...cutting?" I whispered at her. She got off of me, I turned to her, she nodded, and I held her in a hug. My heart broke. Of course I knew why. But no one else did. I hated seeing her like this. In a state of sadness and fear. I

"I'm sorry." she whispered into my neck. I nodded. I knew she hated her habit. But I also knew how hard it was for her to stop.

I let go of her slowly and she said she was going to go talk to michael. I let her go, but ashton came up to me. "What was that about?" He asked.

"I asked her if she still-" I stopped myself. "Wanted to come." I can't tell him. It's not fair to her. He chuckled softly.

"You're lying." He said.

"Well, I can't tell you." I replied.

"Calum I won't hurt her.. I really like her. I have since I met her." He answered. Oh.. he likes her. But shes like my little sister.

"I just don't think I can tell you." I said.

"Calum." He walked closer. fuck him. He knows I crack under pressure.

"Ashton." I swallowed hard.

"Just tell me." He said, and I couldn't stop myself.

"I asked her if she still cuts herself."
