30- Bullets

Bella's POV

Always leaving and never telling me where he's going. I thought we agreed to tell each other the truth, but here he is leaving me again.

He even took the car, how on earth will I go home? It looks like it's going to rain soon. I picked up my phone and cleared the picnic and left for my house.

Walking alone in a forest at night is not easy, I kept hearing noises from different angles. What if there's a snake here?

There are probably snakes here. Little droplets of water started dropping on me, the rain is starting.

I turned on my phone's torch and made my way out of this forest, after a long agonizing walk I finally made it out of the forest safely.  My clothes were soaked with water and I was freezing cold, I tried to walk on the muddy sidewalk of the unfamiliar street without falling, the road was empty and there was hardly anyone here.

After a few minutes of walking cars were finally coming into my view and people were finally on the streets, but they seemed to be in a rush. Everyone in the street was running towards me, they must surely be running from something.

I stood and watched them run, I can't follow them because I don't know where the heck they are headed to and I also need to get home.

I walked towards the opposite direction of the people running, everything was normal until I heard a loud banging noise right beside me. I froze as I tried to recover from the shock of the gunshot, my whole body was stiff and I couldn't move it.

I tried to breathe as hot tears rolled down my cheeks. I felt someone familiar wrap their arms around my waist as they carried me away from the scene.

Ashton finally dropped me under a tree far away from the crime scene. I sat on the floor and let the tears roll down my cheeks, I was too shocked to speak.

"Are you ok?" He asked, checking my body for any bruise.

"Please answer me" He said, kissing my cheeks.

I tried to open my mouth but nothing came out of it, more tears rolled down my cheeks as I gasped for breath.

"Relax, please talk to me, my love" He said.

"Let's get out of here" He said, picking me up and carrying me bridal style to the car.

He placed me on the passenger's seat of his car and sat in the driver's seat and we drove away.

Immediately we arrived at my home, he carried me inside the house. My parents were waiting at the front door.

"What the fuck did you do to my daughter?!" My dad yelled immediately we were inside the house, I've never heard him curse like that before.

"Sir, we went on a date," Ashton said.

"Then why is she soaked?" He asked, angrily.

"Sir, we were...playing under the rain..in..in the park. But she's tired so I'll take her upstairs" Ashton said.

"No! You are leaving now" My dad gritted his teeth.

"Please" I begged as tears rolled down my cheeks one again.

"No, you can't be in a room alone with a boy" My dad complained, if only he knew we've shared a bed multiple times.

"Just for tonight, dad please" I begged.

"Ok" He said defeatedly, "don't get any ideas" My dad said stepping on Ashton's foot.

"Yes sir" He yelped in pain.

When we got to my room I changed into my pyjamas and gave Ashton some of my oversized clothes to wear. I still hadn't spoken to him, my mind was running wild right now.

Could it be that he was part of the people shooting? He didn't even seem the least bit scared. What if the bullet was aimed at him? I would have lost the love of my life.

What if the bullet hit me? My dad would beat the crap out of Ashton, more importantly I'm not ready to die.

"Are you going to talk to me now?" Ashton asked, laying beside me.

"Please, my love. I love you so much" He said, kissing my arm.

"Leave me alone" I said.

"I'm sorry I left you, I had something important to do" He said.

"Something more important than me?" I brush out crying.

"What do you mean?" He asked, confusedly.

"Every single time we are  together you're always getting a call and leaving me like I have no worth to you. I risked my life today, I nearly died" I cried harder.

"Don't try to compare your worth to me with other things" He warned.

"But it's the truth. You always leave me, you're never here when I need you" I cried.

"Don't say that, I love you and you matter to me more than  anything, but you have to understand that I have other priorities" He said.

"I understand that but how do you expect me to believe when I don't know what those so-called priorities are!"

"Relax" He said, caressing my cheeks.

"I love you more than  anything and I know I suck at showing it but I really do love you" He said kissing my jaw.

"That's why I'm gonna take you somewhere very special tomorrow," He said, turning away from me as he lay under the covers.

"Where?" I asked, but he didn't answer me.

"Goodnight" I said, wrapping my arms around his waist.

...

"A bar?" I asked hoping this wasn't the special place he was talking about.

"It's not just any bar, it's the bar where me and all my friends hangout. I don't want you to feel like I'm ashamed of going out with you" He smiled.

"You really didn't have to, " I said, kissing his lips.

We walked into the very noisy and hot bar, my heart's pace picked up the moment we approached the table where all his friends we're seated. I hope they like me.

"Hey guys, " Ashton said, hugging each and everyone of them, I felt really jealous when he hugged Effie, because she just had to extend it to a long one.

"Guys this is my friend, Bella" I blinked several times trying to understand the situation. He just finished saying he wasn't ashamed of me and now he's addressing me as his friend!

I snatched my hand from his and smiled at them, to say I was hurt was a complete understatement.

"Hey everyone. I'm Bella, Ashton's friend" I waved at them all.

"Hey," They said in chorus.

"I'm Celia, let's go grab a drink and talk for a bit" A pink haired girl with red eyes said, pulling to the bar. I stared at her as she ordered her drink, her eyes were scary. They're probably contact lenses.

"So Ashton right?" She asked as she nudged me with her shoulder.

"We're just friends," I said.

"Good because I ship Efton," She said, handing me  a glass of alcohol.

"What's Efton?" I asked.

"It's Effie and Ashton's ship name. We've been shipping them ever since Effie broke up with Mark and then there's you, you're the first girl friend he's introducing to us. I hope you won't  be the obstacle preventing them from being together" She said. Before I could utter a word another girl grabbed me.

"I'm Piper, you're worst nightmare" My eyes went wide in shock. A smallish brunette with blue eyes stared at me with a  wicked smile on her face, she wore a black tank top and blue shorts.

"I'm just kidding, I like you even though I don't know you enough I feel like I can trust you with Ashton's heart"

"How did you?"

"You're the first girl he's ever introduced to us. I caught him staring at you a lot since you left. You guys were holding hands and I saw you kissing him before you entered the bar" She laughed.

"Did you tell anyone?" I asked.

"No they'll get angry if I tell them" She said, I nodded. I guess they don't like me.

"Anyways, how long have you two been dating?" She asked.

"Two days" I answered, watching her gulp her bear.

"That's so weird, you look like you've been dating for a thousand years" She laughed.

"Actually we were together for a few weeks before he asked me to be his girlfriend" I said, taking a sip out of the alcohol. I was never the type of person to drink but I want them to like me, even though I have to get out of my comfort zone.

"Can I borrow Barbie for a minute?" Effie asked, pulling my arms as she dragged me to the bathroom.

"Let go of me. That hurts" I said, snatching my hand from her's.

"I'm sorry Barbie, this isn't your dream house, when  you're in my vicinity you behave like us and stay away from what's mine" She said.

"Don't keep deceiving yourself. Ashton and I are dating" I said.

"I should be telling you that. He called you his friend, isn't it clear that he's ashamed of you" She laughed.

"He's not, he just doesn't want you to know" I defended, even though I know she's not wrong.

"No matter what you do there's still a secret that only I and Ashton know and I'm sure he's never telling you,because you mean absolutely nothing to him" She said.

That really got me worried, are they together?

I hope not, I really can't lose him.

"Bye Barbie" She said before walking away.

"Hey, are you ok?" Ashton asked, I looked up and found him standing in front of him.

"Yeah, I'm just tipsy" I lied.

"You drank?" He asked and I nodded.

"We're taking you home now"

"No, I should want to spend more time with you"

"No you're going home" He said, pulling me towards the entrance of the bar.

"Let go. I want to be here and you have no right to tell me what to do or where to go, so I'm staying here" I said and walked back to the table.

Do you have  pet?

My dog, Jackie died 5 years ago. She had so many miscarriages and finally died. It was a little hard for us at that moment because we were moving to another house because were attacked by armed robbers in our former home. Long story short our dog died in the process of moving.

If I could get another pet it would be a cat

Thanks for reading.

Byee!
