ashton walked down the hall, its walls covered in pictures of things such as his family, dogs, and he and his friends kaylee and erin going out. even with everything he had, he felt as though nobody could fill the hole in his heart. he followed his usual routine and flopped onto his bed as he scrolled through his instagram fan account dedicated to camp camp, be more chill, the albertsstuff fandom, and detroit become human. just as he was commenting on his friend erins post, his phone pinged, displaying a new messge at the top of his screen.
He was silent. He didn't like talking.
Being abused could do that to a person. And having a lisp and a stutter didn't help.
He hadn't said a word in so long, but no one cared. Everything was better in a world where he didn't talk.
He probably could've lived like this until the day he finally decided to kill himself. Until he meets three people who decide to change that...
