Opening my eyes, I look to my side to see an empty bed. I groan, I want to cuddle. I step out of bed, groaning again. That hurts, but it was worth it. I smirk at the thoughts of yesterday night. God, it's so hot when Tory's dominate side comes out.

Stepping into the kitchen I see Tory leaning against the kitchen counter with a glass of water in her hand. She stares at me as I walk towards her. My hands find their way to her waist and she just stares at me. Dominant Tory still hasn't left. I grin at my own thoughts. She raises her eyebrow at me as if to ask what I'm grinning about. I shake my head. That's when she turns us around so that I'm standing against the kitchen counter now. She leans towards me before whispering in my ear, "You better get ready quick, we gotta get to school." she smirks. That's when I notice that's she's all dressed up, my eyes widen. I quickly look at the time and roll my eyes. "This is your fault!" I scream while running back to get dressed. I hear her laugh.

Walking to school, we're actually still on time. Ashlyn was finally not taking a million years to get ready. I feel her hand slip inside of mine, I look to my side to see her smiling at me. I smile back at her. I feel so at peace whenever I feel her presence, whenever I look into her eyes.

Walking into class, finally on time. I haven't been to school in awhile. That's probably the reason why Ms. Miller is looking at me with this expression, this expression that I can't figure out. I just know that she's not very happy with me. Ashlyn and I walk to our seats together. Ms. Miller soon starts the class as everyone takes their seat.

This class is very boring. I can't concentrate again and I think Ms. Miller noticed, because she suddenly looks my way. "Why are you not doing anything Miss Jones?" she asks me sternly. I shrug my shoulders. "So you haven't been here for days and once you decide to show up you can't even do your work!" she says madly. Having enough of her bullshit, I pack my things up and stand up. I walk towards the door, but Ms. Miller stops me. "Where do you think you're going?" I turn around to look at her. That's when I lose it. "Why the fuck do you even care?! I haven't been here for days for a fucking reason." I feel all eyes on me, but I continue anyway. "Just leave me the fuck alone!" I scream at her. Ms. Miller looks at me as if I'm crazy.

I'm about to continue screaming at my teacher, when I see Ashlyn walking towards me with her stuff. "It's okay Tory, let's go mmh?" she says trying to comfort me. I nod my head. I feel a tear running down my cheek. Ashlyn intertwines our hands and drags me outside of the class. My breath picks up, suddenly realising what I just did. "Fuck Ash, what did I do?" I whisper. My chest going up and down, my vision becoming blurry and my hands are shaking. "Tory, calm down for me okay?" she says pulling me in a hug. "Let's go outside and take a breath." she holds my hand while we're walking out of the school. Feeling the spring breeze hit my skin calms me down a bit.

Sitting against the wall outside of the school, I'm leaning against Ashlyns shoulder. My breath still fast, but I'm doing better. Her hands traces patterns on my skin again, relaxing me. "I really just screamed at her." I say under my breath, not even believing myself. "She deserved it." she says laughing. I smile at her. "And you're sexy when you stand up for yourself." she smirks at me. I slap her arm, "Ash!" I laugh. "I don't think we should go back to her class." Ashlyn laughs. "Yeah not a good idea." I agree.

Ashlyn lights a cigarette and brings it to my mouth to let me have a hit. I breathe in the toxic air as my body relaxes against the wall. "Let's go to the skatepark, just like old times." Ashlyn suddenly says. I smile and nod my head.

Arriving at her apartment, we pick up her skateboard and my guitar. And immediately leave the apartment again to go to the skatepark. We agreed that it'd be better if we don't go back to school today and just try again tomorrow.

Walking into the skatepark, Ashlyn immediately stands on her skateboard and starts going around the skatepark. I look at her in awe. I look around and notice we're the only ones here again. She stops and sits on her skateboard, looking at me. I smile and walk to her. I sit on the ground infront of her and get my guitar out of the case. My fingers start playing a song I learnt when I was younger. Yesterday by The Beatles. I've always loved this song. As I start playing, I see Ashlyn smiling. "I love this song." she whispers. She starts humming with the melody I'm playing. I smile. I suddenly stop, wanting to ask a question. I look at her and she raises her eyebrow. I sigh, "What are we?" She sighs as well. "I don't know Tory." I look away, kind of hurt by that answer. I'm too sensitive. We both don't say anything before I hear her sigh again. "I'm scared." she admits. "Me too." I admit as well. "Maybe this is not a good idea." I say standing up. Suddenly feeling like I should have never gotten involved with her. Feeling like I'm only making her life worse. She gets in all of this trouble, just for me. I grab my guitar, "I'm sorry." I say before starting to walk away.

I almost make it out of the skatepark until I feel Ashlyn pulling me back by my arm. "What the fuck do you mean by 'not a good idea'?" she looks into my eyes. I shake her hand from my arm. "Us. This." I say before attempting to walk away again. "I'm not letting you go back there!" she referres to my house. I sigh, turning around and looking at her again. "I'm not good for you Ashlyn." I tell her softly. "What is that for bullshit?" she says as if she can't believe I just said that. "I'm broken Ashlyn! I just screamed at my teacher and now screaming at you! You don't need me in your life okay!" I scream at her. Suddenly I feel her lips slam on mine. When she pulls away she grins, "You need to stop talking."

She takes my hand and drags me back to her skateboard and makes me sit on it. She kneels in front of me and grabs my hand. "Shut up and let me talk okay?" she asks me with a raised eyebrow. I sigh but nod my head. "I love you more than anything okay? You're not broken, you've been through a lot of shit and I'm here to help you get through it. But you are not broken. Everybody deserves to be loved and so do you." she tells me looking deep into my eyes. "Ash." I sigh. "No. I said stop talking." she grins. I roll my eyes. "I'm gonna be here for you, if you accept it or not. I'm not gonna leave your side and I'm definitely not letting you go back to that place. You have me to rely on now okay? You're not alone anymore." She grabs my face with her hands and leaves a soft kiss on my lips. "I love you." I smile as tears leave my eyes again. I cry too much. I laugh at my own thoughts. "I love you too." I tell her honestly. She smiles, "Be my girlfriend."
