AshtonWe had a feeling she would try to run, but this isn't running. This is self-destructing and not giving a fucking damn how much it hurts us. I thought I could survive with her running, but I'm not sure I can now.She didn't even seem to care when Emmett dragged the guy off her. I was ready for her to run, but not to do this. It threw me and I just stood silenced, and shocked. I felt like she had burned me alive, the jealousy clawing at me from the inside out. I walk in and grab a drink, sitting down, Grayson following me."Try to stay calm Ashton." Turning I look at him shocked. "Emmett has already flipped, I have myself in some ways if we keep acting like that she will run. We will push her and she will run.""She is running anyway Grayson. Her trying to fuck a guy is proof of that." He's a fool if he doesn't realise."You fucked someone yourself Ashton at the start."I nod. "Difference is that was at the start, not fucking now." I hear the door open and we don't speak, we watc

EmmettStanding, I watch her leave and hear Ashton cry. Turning, I walk to him. "Get up!""I'm sorry." His words are quiet as he cries."Get the fuck up, Ashton! Do not let her do this to you. You deserve fucking better, now get your ass off that floor and stop crying." I feel Grayson pull me back."Don't be a fucking asshole! Look at him, Emmett, he is in fucking pieces." I turn back and see him shaking and crying. She doesn't deserve his tears, out of everyone she doesn't deserve his. Walking out, I go into my studio, pick up the guitar and play, but my mind won't stay silent. Screaming, I smash it, slowly breaking everything in the room until I fall to my knees and cry.She left us. She walked out like it didn't even touch her, like walking away from us wasn't painful. Screaming, I hold myself and cry. I knew I should never have let her in, I shouldn't have trusted her.Just like everyone in this life, she left. No one ever stays.AshtonI'm to blame, somewhere along the road, I fu

GraysonWe walk back through and sit down, I don't know where the hell to start. I know what I want to say but I can't, not with Ashton around. So that will come later."I'm sorry. What I said was awful, you were not just someone to pass the time Ashton. I'm sorry I made out like you were the bad guy Grayson, like you were making Ashton and Emmett bad, that was wrong. I needed you all to hate me so walking away would be easier."She looks at us."Why run? You had just agreed, so why the fuck agree just to run after?" Emmett looks at her."I agreed, that morning felt great, I agreed because I wanted it. Then the reality hit that me saying I wanted more and not just fun removed those barriers. The ones I have had up my entire life to keep people out. Then I saw his messages in my head and I realised I was going to hurt anyway, either by him killing you all or me leaving, I chose to leave."Her words make me smile, she wasn't running so much because of us being at risk, more she had fuck

RavenI wake up squashed, sticky and sweaty from sharing a bed with them. Grayson is lying next to me, his hand as ever is on my neck. Something about it is possessive yet it feels like it's his safety. Like it makes him feel safer and calmer knowing if anything happened he would know. Emmett is laid on the other side of me, his hand is situated under my face, almost like support for me while I am sleeping.Ashton is laid between my legs, his head resting on my stomach as he sleeps. If anyone wanted to get to me on a night with these three it would be impossible.I can't even escape myself. I try and shuffle slightly, but none of them wake or move. As much as I want to move, I don't want to wake them. I know they have barely slept recently. Hiding away though won't help. Too much needs sorting. I shuffle slightly, trying to turn on my side to ease Ashton off my stomach but I fail."Okay, I need to breathe please." I laugh slightly and watch as Grayson's eyes open, he stays looking at

RavenWe get to the party, and Grayson stops me by the bikes. Here are the rules. I knew there would be rules, but I have a feeling these will be crazy."Go ahead." I stand waiting."All I am going to say is stay somewhere where there are people. This isn't me insinuating that you're going to go slip off with a guy, more you might want peace or you and Ava want a break, don't go away from the crowds Raven.""I won't, I'm not stupid. Oh and can you tell Jasper he is safe to fucking talk to me?" I glare at him and watch as he laughs."He didn't think you were worth it.""That is different, totally different. I'm going to go find Ava, and have a drink, one, because I don't want to crash and the bike die." I smile and he stops me."Be careful please, we will be walking around and checking on people, listening and things, so be careful." I nod at his words. I know he is worried because he won't always be there to watch over me."I promise, any issues I will scream, loud." Kissing his lips
