Ashley's Pov.
It's halftime now and so far our school is winning 3-2.
Aaron scored two, and Tyler scored one. The game is going good so far, on our end atleast.
"I'm hungry." Kylee says.
"Yeah me too, ill go get us some snacks k?" I ask to which she nods.
I run down the bleachers like a pro and go to the little cart where they sell hot dogs and buy two of them along with a coke and a Dr pepper.
I know what to get since we always come here.
I pay for the drinks and start making my way back until I'm pulled back.
I turn around to see who it was and to my utter shock it was Melissa.
Definitely couldn't guess with those sharp ass nails.
"What do you want?" I ask.
"Stay away from Tyler. Gosh the only thing he has been talking about ever since you kissed Aaron is you." She sighs frustratedly.
I smirk, "Not my fucking problem."
"Just stay away from him."
"He is my friend so no." I say and walk away.
Gosh this girl loves drama.
I head back to my place in the bleachers and hand Kylee her hot dog and Dr Pepper.
"Thanks," She says. "What happened? You look pissed."
"Nothing, just that bitch Melissa."
"What did she do?"
"She stopped me over and told me to stay away from Tyler like what the fuck?"
"What did you respond?"
"I simply told her no." I smile.
"You are always so straight forward and I love you for that."
"Oh please, you love me for way more than that." I roll my eyes.
"Okay okay shut up, half time is over."

"And.. score!" I cheer.
Everyone from our school gets up and cheers wildly.
Aaron just scored the tie breaker with 5 seconds left.
We all rushed down to congratulate them but I stop when I see Tyler hugging Melissa and spinning her around.
I should be happy for him, I really should but I just can't.
I ignore them and rush down to Aaron instead.
"You played great, congrats!" I say and give him a hug.
"Thank you. Tyler is watching, let's give him a show shall we?" He whispers in my ears.
"You bet." I smirk.
We pull away from the hug and I smash my lips on his.
I never realised how good he was at kissing until now.
He smirks against my lips causing me to pull away.
"What?" I ask.
"I can tell you are enjoying my lips." He smirks.
"What no I'm no- How did you know?" I sigh.
"I could tell."
I look back and see Tyler glaring at Aaron.
"Mission successful." I say.
He takes my hand and leads me to where Nick and Kylee were standing.
"Congrats Nick!" I say before hugging him.
"Thank you Ashley." He smiles.
I take out my phone and check the time. 10:47 PM.
"Hey Aaron, could you drop me off at home?"
"There is an afterparty, you can come if you want. If not I can drop you off."
"It's getting late, so I best go home." I say apologetically.
He nods and we start walking to the car.
"You played really well." I compliment as we get in the car.
"Thank you, you cheer very well, I could hear you from down there." He chuckles.
The rest of the car ride is mostly us singing and having small talk but nothing much.
We reach soon and i get out of the car. I bid goodbye and he drives off.
I walk to my front door again, and pray they aren't awake.
I open the door and unfortunately this time I could hear my parents talking in the living room.
"What do you mean you don't know where she is?" I hear my father shout at my mother.
"When I came home she wasn't there."
I quickly walk to the living room in case he starts hitting her.
"I'm here, sorry I went to the Basketball match." I say revealing myself.
My father turns around to face me.
"With whose permission?" He screams at me causing me to jump back.
"There was no o-"
"No excuses! Fucking basketball match." He mimics and throws the bottle of alcohol which crashes the wall, breaking into hundreds of tiny pieces.
"I'm sorry." I say.
He goes upstairs and comes back down with a belt.
No. Not again.
Last time he hit me I couldn't get off of my bed for a whole week.
"Father I'm sorry. I promise to ask you next time."
"No you won't, because there will be no next time."
He comes closer to me and started hitting me with the belt.
Each hit, the worse it gets.
"Father please stop!" I scream while crying.
I keep begging and screaming in pain yet he shows no remorse.
"Thats enough." My mother says stopping him.
He gives her a look but stops anyways.
I crawl upstairs as I have no energy left to even stand up.
I get on my bed and just lie on it. My whole body feels empty.
I don't think I'm going to school tomorrow.
I take my phone and text Aaron.
Me : Hey, I'm sorry i can't come to school tomorrow.
Aaron : Hi. What why not? Are you okay?
Me : I'm abit sick so don't wait on me.
Aaron : Oh okay, it's fine we can meet my mother on Wednesday as well:)
Me : Thank you for understanding, Goodnight.
Aaron : Goodnight.
I put my phone away and sigh deeply.
I'm so tired. So fucking tired.
I can't wait for Jake to come get me.
So I can be done with this bullshit.
Forever.
