Chapter 6

Ashlyn's POV

I woke up to my alarm going off. I'm a little happy that it is. I really want to talk to Harry. He should know that I'm agreeing to a date with him. I know I'm risking a lot for this though. Who knows what will happen to me if Adam finds out. He's freaked out on me over small things. I've had enough bruises to cover. I can't imagine how it would be if he found out about this. I'm not really sure I care anymore. I'm not happy with him anymore. I deserve to be happy. These are supposed to be some of the best years of my life and they're all getting ruined by him. I don't deserve to deal with this anymore. I don't think I ever did. I gave him everything I could. I just can't take this all anymore.

I rolled over and found the other side of the bed empty. I can't help but smile a little bit. I'm happy he's not even here. I'm sure he's out with someone. I really don't care. I love not waking up to him. Its rare that, that ever happens. I just want to get out of here before he gets does. I don't feel like letting anything happen this morning. I got out of bed before quickly getting dressed. I hurried up, making sure I won't see him this morning. I grabbed my bag and my phone before walking out of my car. I just hope the rest of today goes good. It should. I don't think I'm going to be seeing Adam anytime today which that always makes my day better.

I got to the studio and I saw that Harry and Sam were standing outside talking. I can't help but frown a little bit. I was looking forward to talking to Harry this morning. It's going to drive me crazy now that I'm going to have to wait a few more hours. I grabbed my bag before walking over to them. I unlocked the door for all of us. I didn't really say anything as I walked down to my office. I felt Harry looking at me. I mean I wouldn't doubt it if I turned around and saw him doing that. I wouldn't be upset about it though. I set my bag down on the couch in there before grabbing out a couple bottles of water. I'm sure Harry didn't bring one. He never does. I walked back out to the studio we always practice in. I noticed a small smile playing on his lips when he saw me. I can't help but smile a little bit. I really hope Sam doesn't notice anything.

After practice I walked out of the studio to my office like I usually do. I don't want Sam thinking anything is up. I'm sure he doesn't. If he thinks anything is up he'll just bring it up. He's been like that ever since I met him. That's been awhile now. He's asked me about my bruises before. He knows I lied about where I got them. I'm sure he knows about how Adam is but he doesn't really say anything. I guess it's because he's never really seen it. My thoughts got interrupted my Harry walking into my office. I noticed him smile a little as he closed the door behind him before walking over to the couch, sitting down next to me. He asked, "Did you think about what I asked yesterday?"

I nodded, "It's been a little distracting."

"Have you made your decision?"

I smiled, "Yes. I'll go on a date with you."

I noticed a smile start to play on his lips, "You were against it yesterday though."

"I know. I felt like I was doing something wrong like Adam but I just want to be happy."

He reached over, grabbing my hand, "That's how it should be. You deserve to be happy."

I just nodded. He is right. He told me that yesterday. I haven't been happy for so long. I deserve this. I know no one else will understand but I don't care. I should start doing things for myself. I'm not going to be with Adam for much longer, hopefully. I'm doing everything I can now to get away from him. I think I pretty much have enough money but I want to wait till I for sure have enough. I mumbled, "I know."

"Is there a particular time you want this date to be?"

I smiled, "No but that should really be up to you."
