**Ashton's P.O.V**

I woke up the next day and got ready to pick up Bobby. I went downstairs and grab my bag and sat at the table, my grandma brought my breakfast to me. My mom and dad were at the table but they were busy with work, I didn't bother saying anything to them because I knew I won't get their attention. I told my grandma bye and went out to my car. I drove down the block and parked in front of Bobby's house. I blew my work and minutes after he came out. He came in and smile at me, I did the same and ran my eyes over his body.I stop at his arms, they were red lines going up and down his arms like he dig his fingers in his skin.

"Bobby you okay?". I ask concern.

"Yea, fine". he replied not meeting my eyes.

"What wrong with you arms?".

He hid them as I ask.

"Nothing".

"Then what are those marks?"I pressed.

"Would y-you forget it".

"Okay".I sighed and started the car.

We drove to school in silence,Bobby looking out the window the whole time and rubbing his arms.I've got to find out what's wrong with him.What's happened in his past.And I'm gonna do it today.

"Bobby,you're coming to my house today".

"Why!".he ask frustrated.

"Cause I said you are".

"You're not the boss of me!".

"Yea well you don't really have a choice,now be quiet".

He huff but didn't argue with me any longer.I didn't mean to be like that to him but that was the only way I could get him to listen to me.

We turn into school and I park the car,as soon as I park it he got out and walked into school. I tried to catch up with him but as soon as I entered the school I didn't see where he went.

"Hey man".

I turn around to face West.

"Hey dude".

**Bobby's P.O.V**

As soon as I turn into school I went into the bathroom.you're coming home with me because I said so.who do he think he is.I turn on the pipe and wash my hands and dried them.I stared at my arms for a while then I heard the bathroom door open.I grab my bag to get out because I didn't want to be where people were but as I turn around to get out I hit someone's hard chest and I fell on the floor.I suck in a deep breathe.

"S-sorry".I mumbled.

"Look where you're going next time".

I got up and look up at the person.Bad idea.It was the Bailey guy.

"Well aren't you just the cutest thing ever".

He held my hand and I scream and pulled my hand to my chest and back away.I would have ran out but he was positioned at the door.

"What the hell is wrong with you?".he was smiling.

"D-dont touch me".I whispered.

"Why not?"

He grab my hand again and push me to the wall.I was scared out of my life right now.I tried to scream but I couldn't just like I couldn't scream that day.He step closer to me and I close my eyes as he press his body to mine and put his hand on my waist.

"You look gay,are you?".

He move his hand down to the top of my pants and played with my zipper,bringing in up and down.I was crying hard but silent.

"Well answer me!".

My heart beating faster at his voice.

I squeeze my eyes shut but the heavy body that was press agaist me,was gone and something that shook the ground a bit under my feet.I tried to open my eyes but they were in control.

I just slid down the side on the wall and buried my face in my knees as I hug them.

"Bobby".the well known soft voice called my name.

"Its okay you can open your eyes".

I open my eyes and lift my head up,Ashton was there in front of me and far in the corner was his friend West with a hand around Bailey's throat as he struggled.

"Come on,get up".

I slowly got up and Ashton immediately brought me in for a hug.

"That kid is pathetic!".Bailey laugh.

"Shut your fucking mouth!".West tighten his hold around him and he cough.

"Go,I'll deal with him".West nod at Ashton who pulled me out of the bathroom and into his car outside.

After a while of silence Ashton shift so he was looking at me.

"Bobby..."

I turn my head to him.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there with you".

"Its my fault for walking away from you".

"Yea but like I said I'm protecting you but I wasn't there".

"He didn't do anything because you came,so its fine now".

He sigh"okay".

****

The bell rang for lunch,we missed two sessions.We got out of the car and Ashton led me to the cafeteria.He look around for a bit before walking over to west,who was sitting at a table with another guy and Ashton's girlfriend.I was stuck where as was at the door and Ashton look at me.

"Hey,don't worry they won't hurt you either".

We walk over to the table and sat down.

"I'm going to buy something for us to eat okay".

He turn to West.

"Watch him".West nod.

I slid over to the corner of the table where no one was near me.

"You okay Bobby?".West voice made me jump.I nod slightly.Its like he knew how I felt.

"West who's this?".the guy ask.

"He's Ashton's friend".west said.

"He doesn't talk".Apple snickered and West glared at her.

"He does talk!".West glared harder.

"Whatever".she roll her eyes.

The guy's hand ran up her leg so quickly I almost missed it as goosebumps appeared on her instantly and she started giggling.West was busy in his phone so I doubt he saw.I stared at them in confusion but shook any thought away that was appearing as Ashton came over.

He gave me a tray and told me to eat as Apple snuggled close to him. I hardly touched my food I just couldn't keep my mind off what happened in the bathroom.

"Eat Bobby".Ashton said.

I sigh and force myself to eat.Still uncomfortable being around so much people.

We were in Ashton's car heading to his house.He pulled in his drive way and we walk into his house together.My grandparents friend were coming in our direction.

"Hey Ashton,hey...Bobby?its nice to see you again".

"H-hi".I stuttered.

"Well I'm going out".

"Okay bye".Ashton said as she past us and close the door behind her.

We went up to his room and I sat in a chair far from his bed he was sitting on.He stared at me like I'm suppose to say something.

"Want to watch TV".he ask.

"Okay".

He turn on the TV and I turn my attention to it.

After about half and hour he then down the volume on the TV and turn to me.

"Come on Bobby,tell me what's wrong with you".

"Nothing".

"Then why are you afraid of people".

"no reason".

"Oh tell me please and I'll give you a cookie".

he smirk.

I chuckled."You sound like Dylan",Dylan always tried to bribe me with cookies it was so cute back then.

"Dylan?".he ask confuse.

Then it hit me,Ashton had no idea who Dylan was.

"He was my boyfriend".I whispered

He look at me in shock,then spoke.

"You're gay".

I nod slowly.

"Uh oh...so,where is Dylan did you guys broke up?".

"N-no...he's... dead".
