I stared out the window for a while. I didn't notice when Ashton came beside me.Someone cleared their throat and I pulled my eyes away from the window.I looked over at Ashton and he smiled at me.The same girl was sitting on the other side of him.The teacher came in and I turn my attention to him.I took out my book and copied notes off the board,Ashton was busy with the girl.The class was over soon and like every class I waited untill everyone was gone.Ashton stayed back with the girl,I think he was waiting on me,I got up and he did the same with the girl.

"Bobby".he called as I was about to go through the door.

"This is my girlfriend Apple, Apple this is bobby he's new".

"Hi",she said.I just stared at her.

"He doesn't talk?".she said to Ashton.

I talk,but something about her doesn't seem right.She looks sneaking, like a cheater/player but that's not my business she's probably not.

"Yea he talks,he's just shy".Ashton replied.

Ashton took my hand and motioned for me to follow him.I followed,Apple on the other side of him.We stopped at Ashton's locker which was two lockers away from mine.Apple was there talking,she didn't shut up for even a minute.Ashton took out his book and close the locker.He kiss Apple goodbye and she went off to class.We walk to our class and sat down in the back.

"So tell me about yourself".he suddenly said.

"Why?".I whispered.

"So I can know more about you".

"Okay".I look down.

"So...".

"What?".

"Tell me about your self".

"Oh um.My last name is shouter,I was born at home on the twelve of july 1997.I like pancakes and grapes.My favorite song is 'mirror' by Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars,My favoutire color is black and ..y-yea".

He blink a few times.

"Okay,I'll find out more later".

At lunch Ashton wanted me to eat with his friends so I can communicate more,he gave up after I ran away and I went and ate my lunch in a class room.

At the end of the day,I walked with Ashton to the field.He led me to the bleachers and put my bag and his bag beside me.

"Now,stay right here and call me if anything happens".he said sternly.

"I'm not a kid,I can move if I want".although I won't.

"Bobby,just please stay...please?"

"Okay,I will".

He pat my cheek and ran off with the rest of the team.They did some warm up drill and started to play against each other.I watched ashton as he played,he was really good,his shirt said captain so I guess he was.He was very fast,he was sweating,he pulled his shirt over his head and took it off.He had strong biceps and six pack. he was well built,very attractive and I was attracted to him.

I was sitting there just watching them,it was getting boring.Ashton was busy so I decided to take a walk.Slowly I got up so that Ashton won't notice I was gone and that no one could see me and follow me.I walked up a hill and I walk until I came up on a cliff.There was a big tree there,leaves of red and blue blossoms blowing slightly in the wind.It had a great view of the town.This place was amazing,quiet and seems so peaceful. I had a place like this back home my dad showed it to me one day.

Dad.

I took in a deep breath and let out a powerful scream.It echoed I know I was alone now.Tears started to fall as I continue to scream louder which soon turn into sobs.I was sick of everything,sick of pain.I dig my nails in my skin and drag them up and down.I walked to the end of the cliff,maybe if I jump the pain will go away.When i was dead.I shook my head and sat down under the tree I look at my arms and saw that it was red,bleeding a little too.I sat there thinking about the world and taking in the view.

I smell a familiar cologne and I look up to see a very angry Ashton. He stood over me,arms cross.

"Why did you do that?".he sounded like my mother.

"D-do what?".I ask innocently.

I knew he was talking about why I left and he didn't know.

"Don't act innocent with me you left and didn't tell me,something could have happened to you and I didn't know where you were!".he yelled.

I look down at my hands,getting a little scared now,Ashton was yelling.He must have seen it because he sat down beside me and wrap his arms around me.I started to sob.

"Bobby,I'm sorry I yelled at you,its just I didn't know where you were,I was worried sick because I care about you".

"I'm s-sorry".

"Its okay,you're okay".

We stayed like that for about an hour just sitting there, i closed my eyes.The cooling breeze dancing against our face,Ashton's hands safely around me.I felt protected I think I was falling for him,and fast.

"Ready?".I heard him ask.

I open my eyes to see that the sun was setting.

"Yea".I said,he got up and pulled me up with him,we walk back to the field for our bags and went to his car.We pulled out of school.

"So what are you doing when you reach home"?he ask

"Nothing".I said not looking at him.

"Want to come to my house?".

"No".

"Oh come on".

"No".

"Why not?".

"Nothing".

"Fine then".

The car went silent,he pulled in my drive way,my grandparent's car was there.They must have gotten off work early today.I turn to Ashton.

"Bye bobby I'll pick you up tomorrow".

I huff."bye".

He chuckled. I walked into the living room and saw my grandparents,I went and sat between them.

"Hey honey,how was school today?".grandma ask.

"It was okay,I'm getting use to it".

"What about your friend?".grandpa ask.

"Oh,its Ashton,Cindy's grandson,he's okay".I shrug.

"Oh I'm glad you have a friend,someone to talk to".she pulled me closer to her and I rested my head on her shoulder.

After dinner,I went up to my room and took a shower,I crawled into bed.I look up at the ceiling and as many things as possible rush through my mind.Ashton's girlfriend, I'm getting better at controlling myself,that place on the hill,Ashton playing football.My eyes close slowly an I drift off to sleep.
