Chapter 17

~Louis's POV~

     I absolutely can't believe that one of my best mates hit Ashley, my girlfriend. I was shocked earlier that he did that, but now im furious! He better watch his arse around me because I don't know what I will do when I see him. I'll probably find out sooner than later. I just can't believe it. Ashley was suppose to come here just to see if she wanted to be in the band and instead she goes to the hospital, finds five-well probably four now best mates, and Liam has hit her. Everything has become so complicated. I walk to the room that Ashley and Alexis were in. I knock on the door quietly before I entered. When I walked in I saw Ashley was sitting up in bed awake. She was just staring out the window. She turned slightly when she heard me come in, "Hey," she whispered so she wouldn't wake Alexis up. Ashley was wearing baggy flannel pj bottoms and a camisole. "Hey babe," I whispered back at her as I walked towards her. I saw her shoulder tense slightly but that was the only sign that told me she was...afraid? Just what the hell did she go through when she was younger? I don't think Liam hitting her would make her tense around me, unless something else has happened that I don't know about yet. "I won't hurt you Ashley," I whisper holding my hand out for her to take. She looks at me. I see hurt, confusion, doubt, hesitation, sadness, and so much pain in her eyes along with something else that I couldn't identified. Ashley hesitatingly placed her small hand inside mine. I pulled her off the bedand led her out of the room, "You can trust me," i whispered in her ear as I pulled her out of the room. She looked at the ground. Ashley hesitatingly asked me,"Hey, LouLou. Can we go to the park and bring Niall's guitar with us?" I grinned at her, "Sure. Anything you want. We can go after breakfast." Ashley smiled timidly, "Thanks." Ashley was so timid now. What happened to that confident girl that I saw a few days ago? Disaster is what happened to her. I mean first her mother died, and then the Liam incident. Ashley and I walked into the kitchen to find Harry cooking. "Pancakes?" Ashley asked scaring Harry in the process. I laughed at his flustered expression. "Uh yeah. You want some?" he asked. "Well duh," Ashley replied giving Hazza an are-you-stupid-look. He rolled his eyes as he went back to cooking. I got some orange juice from the fridge while Ashley got the cups out. I poured the orange juice into three cups, and Harry put the pancakes on the table. We all sat down with our orange juice. Right before we got our pancakes, Niall walked in half asleep. "Hey Niall, can Ashley and I borrow your guitar?" I ask Niall. He turns and glares at me. His eyes narrow then he shrugs his shoulders, "Sure." I blink in shock for I was sure that he was going to beat me too death or something. We all started eating breakfast then.

~Ashley's POV~

     I walked to my room that I shared with Alexis last night. I was in the bathroom that was attached to the room. I looked in the mirror placing all the stuff I brought with me on the counter. There was a purple-blue bruise on my face where Liam had hit me. I sigh for I didn't want to think of the memories of my childhood. I quickly changed into my clothes and did my make-up, doing my best to cover up the bruise. I walked out of the bathroom to see that Alexis was still sleeping. Lazy ass Asian, but I still love her. I walked into the lounge room to see Louis, Niall, and Zayn in there. Where was Harry and Liam? "Harry is taking a shower and Liam locked himself in his room," Zayn said noticing my questioning gaze. "Ohhh, well are you ready LouLou?" I asked Louis. He nods as he gets up off of the couch. He grabs the guitar and his keys to his car before he starts walking towards me. "Niall, you should go wake Alexis up," I say grinning mischievously. His cheeks flushed red as he nodded. "Let's go Love," BooBear tells me. He gestured for me to walk in front of him when we walked out the door.

     We got to the park ten minutes later. I grabbed the guitar from Louis before running to the bench under a big oak tree. "Ashley!" Louis yells running after me. I begin to giggle uncountably. When Louis caught up with me he was grinning like a mad man. I looked at him questioningly. He just grinned at me. "Your giggle is adorable," he whispered causing me to blush and roll my eyes and sit on the bench. "So, what song are you going to play?" Louis asked me as he sat down beside me. I thought for a second and then began strumming the opening chords for "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jensen.

     We sat there for hours singing random songs as well as making up our own little song. I was having so much fun that I literally forgot about everything except for Louis. I smiled at Louis taking in his brown hair and gorgeous eyes. Wait, what am I doing?  I hear footsteps coming towards us. When I turned to see who it was, my mouth dropped opened. It couldn't be. How was she here? I looked at the familiar brunette haired girl in front of me. She smiled her goofy smiled and said, "Hey babe!"
