When you woke up, your head was in Ashton's lap and he was stroking you hair. You stirred around and groaned, as you sat up. "W-where am I?" You asked as you looked around, now noticing it was Ashton's flat. "I brought you back to my flat, after Ella called me up telling me what happened." You let out a shaky breath.
"Oh yea, I'm starting to remember...." You muttered before you touched your throbbing cheek bone. You winced and whined at the stinging. Ashton hushed you and hugged you tightly, "Shhhh, Michael is so dead when I see him." Ashton whispered against the top of your head. You let out a sigh, "Thanks Ash, where's Ella?"
"I dropped her off to hang out with the knits, at mom and dad's house. I thought you needed a little bit of time." Ashton replied thoughtfully. You opened your mouth to speak, but a knock at the door interrupts your thoughts. Ashton gives you a sympathetic look, "I'll be right back." Ashton whispered, before he stood up and answered the door.
"What do you want?" Ashton spat coldly. You glanced up and saw Michael standing at the door. Michael looked past Ashton and saw you sitting there. "I-I need to see (Y/N)." He whispered in a hoarse voice. "No you don't. You might punch her again or call her a slut." Ashton paused and took a deep breath. "You know she has trust issues, right?" Ashton asked in a more calm voice.
"Of course I do and I know she hasn't opened up to me about everything. I guess that's why I got upset and hit her. Because I was afraid she could secretly be seeing that old friend from school. You know..... maybe he understands her better..." Michael said with a frown. Ashton sighed and shook his head.
Ashton glanced back at you, giving you a look. You nodded your head, knowing exactly why he was giving me that look. Ashton then looked back at Michael, "Did you know that (Y/N) was raped?" Ashton asked Michael softly. Michael's eyes slowly widened and he glanced at you with shock. "She- she what?"
"Yea. Well that's why she has Ella now. She never cheated, she was raped. That's why she never told you who the father was, she didn't want you to know she was raped. But if you'd excuse me, I have (Y/N) to take care of and help her recover." Ashton said, just as he was closing the door he said one more thing to Michael, "I forbid you to see (Y/N) until you're truly sorry. And you need some alone time to take everything in."
With that the door closed.
