Help.

I lay helplessly on the floor of an alleyway in the dark. I haven't been home for three days straight and my dad is probably pissed. But it's not like he cares anyways.

I'm so stupid. I never should have made that bet with them. Never.

This is going to get in the way of everything.

I tried calling Luke, he won't answer. I tried calling Michael, he won't fucking answer either. I guess I have one choice left. Calum. Even though I'm still not a huge fan of him, I need help. And hopefully we can be friends. Because if the boyfriend doesn't like the friends that's bad. I mean I'm not saying he's my boyfriend... Kinda.

"Hey Ash-"

"Calum please come and get me."

"Oh, uh yeah of course. Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"I'll explain everything later just please hurry, my back hurts."

"Gotcha. Where are you?" He asked as I heard him grabbing his keys on the other line.

"By the park between the school and Luke's house." I groaned leaning against the wall.

"I'll be there as soon as I can, Ashton. Just stay there." Calum assured me, hanging up. You know Calum is a nice kid. I don't know why I didn't like him at first.

'It's because he was talking to your man'

No! He is not- oh my gosh I'm not getting into this.

I lay there for about a good five minutes until I see a boy turn the corner into the alleyway.

"Ashton? Ash, where are you?" I heard Calum whisper into the alley.

"Over. Here." I knock a can over as he turns his head towards me.

"Oh my gosh, Ashton. You have got to stop getting hurt!" He chuckled silently.

"I know." I roll my eyes playfully at him.

"Come here." He surprisingly was able to pick me up. "Damn, you're hella light."

"Well you know I work out." I have a small smile.

He set me in his car and got it.

"Finally got your own car, aye?" I looked around in it.

"Yup." He smiled to himself not turning in the engine but instead facing me.

"Ashton, what happened? Was it Harry again?"

"No, not H-Harry." I looked down.

"Then who? Please tell me, Ash. I haven't known you for a long time. Heck, it's only been a week since we first met. But I feel like you're one of my best friends."

"T-That actually means a lot C-Calum. You're really sweet too and I'm glad to be in your best friend category. And I'm glad we're best friends n-now."
