Waking up in the morning I had to untangle myself from Ash, I jumped in the shower. I was so tired from everything that happened yesterday and only getting three hours of sleep last night. I was way to lazy to put on a cute outfit so I just put on black yoga pants and a Brandy Melville bandeau.

Since that was dress code I put on a dark grey oversized sweater. I blow dried my hair and put on little mascara after brushing my teeth. I really wanted to talk to my mom, even after everything that's happened.

To mom: Hey mom, I got out the house I'm staying at friends..

From mom: It's what's best for you sweetie, I'll see you soon, hopefully by then you'll go back to my Adrianna.

I didn't reply I just rolled my eyes. I don't think I've changed I just think I'm finally becoming me.

I step out of the bathroom to find a shirtless Ash and my eyes couldn't seem to look away, but I forced myself to look at my phone and walked towards his bed to lay back down.

"You look comfy." Ash said and I looked up at his shirtless body and quickly looked at his face.

"Is that another way of saying I look like shit?" I said laughing.

"Yeah it actually is." I was shocked when he said that and threw a pillow at him.

"I'm just kidding."

"You better be!"

"Breakfast!" We heard Ash's mom yell from downstairs.

I put on my converse and Ash put on a shirt as we both walked downstairs.

"Do you guys have breakfast every morning?"

"Yup, my mom loves to cook."

Once we got to the kitchen it was packed with all the boys, everyone was grabbing a plate and getting food. I was fine if their wasn't enough left for me.

I wasn't excepting them to feed me anyway. Ash came out of the big pile of boys with two plates and I could help but smile. We sat down at the table and everyone else joined.

"So Ash tonight I want you sleeping on the couch." Ash's mom said smirking I'm pretty sure she knew their was something going on between me and Ash.

"Kay mom." He replied.

We finished eating and me, Ash and his brothers all walked to school.

"Why don't you just take the truck, why walk?" I asked them all.

"We fight over who drives so are parents make us walk." Hayden replied.

We finally got to school and I walked in with Ash and his brothers. I swear everyone was staring! I felt so uncomfortable. I could even see Kylie staring at me with her 'friends'.

I just put head down and was about to walk the opposite direction to class because I'm sure Ash wouldn't want me to hang around him, it will probably ruin his reputation. I felt a hand grab me and made me turn around, I wasn't surprised when I saw it was Ash but when he pulled me back he made me bump into him almost closing the distance between us.

"We're are you going?" He smirked at me.

"To class." I said seeing Danielle and Erica walking behind Ash.

"The bell hasn't even rung yet." I could see girls giving me death looks from the corner of my eye and I really wanted to get away from Ash but he wouldn't let go of my arm. Danielle went up on her tip toes and covered his eyes with her hands.

"Guess who?" She said in the most annoying voice ever. Ash laughed and turned around letting go of my arm to give her a hug, Erica gave him a hug as well.

"Come on! Show me around!" She said tugging Ash's arm. He turned to look at me.

"See you later?" He said giving me a million dollar smile.

"Y-yeah, see you later." With that said Danielle and Erica took Ash away. Did she really need a tour? Our school's pretty small its not hard to get lost.

I started to walk to class early because there was no point standing by myself like a loner.

"Hello Adrianna, its good to see you this morning." My world history teacher said, I smiled and sat down in my seat.

"So how's you mother?" I didn't want to answer this, I didn't know how to answer this it was like I was in the middle of a really good part of a book and it stops and just leaves you hanging there. I mean I haven't even seen her since she kicked me out.

"Fine." I said in quickly.

"And your father?" Why are you so nosy!

"Fine." I repeated myself.

The school bell finally rang and students began to fill up the classroom. Everyone was talking and laughing, I wish I was a senior already so I can have class with Mackenzie and Abigail this is just torture.

The only thing Sophomores and Freshman care about is popularity or who they sit with at lunch. I mean what happened when everyone sat together in kindergarten and shared lunches?

Is it crazy that I miss Kylie as a friend? I mean she was with me through almost everything. I just don't know why everyone is cutting me out of their life, first my dad, then Kylie, and now my mom. Will Ash? I'm not even sure if I can trust him all the way.

P.E came and all we had to do was walk around the track so I didn't dress out. I mean I was practically already dressed out. Everyone started to walk and I started to walk by myself cause I wasn't sure if Ash wanted me around. I suddenly felt a hand intertwined with mine and I looked up and smiled up at Ash.

"Hey." He said giving me a smirk.

"Hey." I smiled back and looked at our hands. I could feel girls secretly killing me with their eyes but I didn't care.

"Can I ask you something?" I said.

"Yeah, go for it."

"Um so how did you and Danielle become such close friends?"

"Oh um its a really long story but I'll shorten it up. So are dads were best friends and I would always go to her house and we would have play dates., what usual five years olds would do. Well when I was 9 we were going on a rode trip and it was me, my brothers and Danielle with her family. We were going through the mountains and all of the sudden the car in front of us ran into the metal railings and our car went out of control and down the mountain. The car flipped over and my dad died instantly, leaving us with all serious injuries. Well Danielle helped me get through of that with my dads passing and everything, I guess that's how we got so close."

I didn't know what to say. Should I say anything at all?

"I can tell you don't really like her, but if you give her a chance she's an amazing person." He reassured. I smiled at him.

"I'll give her a chance, but only for you." I said laughing and his kissed me on the cheek. I was going to do my best to give her a chance and I guess we can see how things go. When went our separate ways when Ash went to go change out of his P.E clothes.

When I got to Chemistry class Ash wasn't there which was a little weird so I basically had to do the whole project by myself but oh well he isn't much help when he is here. I was all done with the project and there was still five minutes of class so I asked to go to the restroom really fast. I didn't really have to go I just wanted to get out of class.

When I got to the restrooms they were all locked and since I didn't have a hall pass I could get after school detention. I quickly ran into the girls locker room and as I did my heart sunk in my chest. It felt like I couldn't breath, was this really happening?

Ash's hands were running up and down Danielle's back as they were down each others throats hard core. He had her up against a locker as she was pulling on his hair. Tears started pouring out of my eyes and I couldn't stop them.

I dropped my binder out of weakness and Ash and Danielle both looked at me. Danielle had a smirk on her face and I couldn't explain Ash's but I turned around leaving my binder on the floor and walked out as fast as I could. I tried to wipe the tears away but they wouldn't stop. Images replied in my head at the sight of them.

He never liked me!

I hate him!

But I hate myself more!

I heard someone running down the hall yelling my name, it was Ash and I didn't bother to turn around, Why am I so upset, why do I feel so hurt? I mean we aren't even dating! But he tricked me into thinking he liked me. I finally got out to the lunch area when I heard Ash's voice.

"Adri! Wait!" I didn't listen I started walking faster.

He finally caught up to me and tried to touch me but I wouldn't let him. I turned around and pushed him as hard as I could. Him being a guy only stepped by a little bit but by my action he obviously looked hurt.

"LEAVE ME ALONE! I HATE YOU!" I couldn't control what I was saying I was so hurt, mad and frustrated! He was just showing his true colors.

I turned back around and continued walking I wanted to be alone and this time I didn't hear Ash behind me which I was thankful for. All I could hear was trash cans tipping and angry grunts.

I went by the tree and sat down as the lunch bell rang. I brought my knees up to my face and tried to stop crying I didn't want anyone to talk to me.

As I turned my head to the side from a distance I could see Abigail, Mackenzie, and Ash's brothers but no Ash. They were walking this way and I didn't feel like talking so I just went to the baseball bleachers. I sat down and just closed my eyes. I am so done with life.

I knew this would happen sooner or later, why am I so shocked?

I suddenly felt my self getting really tired so I laid down on the bench and closed my eyes I could feel myself getting sleepier and sleepier.

_____________

I woke up freezing on the metal bench and the sun was down. I quickly took out my phone and and it was already six. I missed my end of the day classes. Man I was sleeping for a long time. I grabbed my bag and headed toward Ash's. There were twenty five texts from him but I was to tired to even look at them.

I began to walk home when I saw two girls coming my way. When they got closer I could see that it was Danielle and Erica. They looked like they were coming back from Ash's.

As I got closer to them they stepped in front of me.

"Oh hey Adrianna." Erica said in a sarcastic voice and I didn't reply.

"You do know that it's rude to ignore someone right?" Danielle responded.

I didn't respond. Why are they even talking to me?

"What a bitch." Erica said. I really wanted to walk away from them but they were blocking me from going any were.

"Wow you're really getting me angry already." Danielle said.

"Sorry I don't talk to bitches." I finally said.

I felt her hand connect with my face and I felt a stinging sensation on my skin and Erica kick me in the stomach which brought me to the ground and I laid on my side bringing my knees up to try and stop the pain. A foot connected with my face and I felt blood coming from my forehead. I suddenly was turned over and now laying on my back I felt someone's body pressure on me.

My face was throbbing has I continued to get punched in the face over again. I tried pushing her off me put nothing worked. Two against one never works. I felt another kick to my head and my hair getting pulled. I was to the point were I didn't have enough energy to fight back. I felt like they were going to kill me. They wouldn't even give me a chance to breath as I had the air knocked out of me.

"You better keep your hands to yourself when you're with Ash, he's mine and always has been." I heard Danielle's voice.

I felt her grab my hair and bang it to the ground she got off of me and they continued kicking me in the ribs and the stomach.

"We should go." Erica said.

All of the sudden I could hear them running away.

I tried to get on my feet but everything was hurting and I was bleeding badly from my head. I'm pretty sure she broke it. Tears were all over my face and my hair felt like it was pulled out of my head. I couldn't stand up or anything and if I wanted help there's only one person I knew who could help me so I had to text Ash.

To Ash: help

Help was all I could type and every time I coughed it felt like I was being punch all over again. I could here footsteps running towards me more than one persons. Great there back, I closed my eyes waiting to be kicked again. But I was suddenly in the arms of Ash and he was running me to his house. I could he his brothers making comments and I tried to ignore them I had a massive headache.

I felt my body on a comfortable bed and ice packs all over me. I could hear Ash's mom freaking out and Ash's dad calming her down. Ash was mouthing things to me but I couldn't make out what he was saying.

I couldn't move my body at all. I was in the most pain I have ever been in my life.

"Should we take her to the hospital?" I heard Ash say.

"No!" I started to panic. Hospital's scare me and they always have.

"I'm fine, trust me." I added and I knew everyone could tell I was lying but they agreed not to take me. I took a warm bath to try and relax myself. I was still mad at Ash and I wasn't sure what to do.

I got out of the tub and slowly and carefully changed into sweats and a baggy shirt. I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn't believe what they had done to me! I looked so gross, I just began to cry and cry. I couldn't bare to look at myself anymore so I sat against the wall in the bathroom. Finally I decided to climb into bed and try to get some sleep.

I suddenly heard a hesitant knock on the door and tried to stop crying.

"Adri?" I heard Ash's voice. He noticed I was "sleeping" before he slowly closed the door again.
