Diana's POV:
I got off the phone with the taxi driver and cheered as we waited for him/or her to arrive. Michael was in flannel pajama pants with his usual black vans. He wore a simple grey jumper over his upper body. "Diana I'm sleepy do we ha-" a honk from outside interrupted Michael slightly scaring me . "C'mon it'll be quick I promise!" I pulled him out the door.
****
We walked into the store , no one in sight beside the guards and workers. I skipped along side Michael as we searched for the goodies . I turned into aisle 17 labeled 'candy , cookies , chips'. "Hmm I need Sour Patch Kids , Sour Gummy Bears , Goobers , Starburst, Skittles , Hershey's : Cookies N' Cream what am I missing?" I rambled on .
Michael grinned wide before responding , " M&Ms , Kit Kats , Ferrero , Mike And Ike's . Now chips , Cheesy Cheetos , Hot Cheetos , Lays Original , Lays Lemon hm what am I missing?" He smirked .
"Wow that's a lot but you're missing popcorn!" I screeched picking out Kettle Corn , Butter and Butter Lovers. I skipped around the corner and Michael followed pushing the cart .
"Dr.Pepper, Mt.Dew , Cactus Cooler , Coca Cola , 7Up . What else?" I laughed putting the sodas in the cart. "Movies !!" Michael yelled as he ran off with the cart to find the movies .
I caught up to him laughing as he crazily controlled the cart . "Michael be careful! What if we get kicked out??" I looked around at the securing cameras surrounding the store .
"Diana , if you wanna get kicked out this isn't what to do." He chuckled coming to an abrupt stop .
"Then what?" I rose an eyebrow , curious if he had been kicked out of one before .
"Do you want to get the food , or get kicked out?" He grinned .
"Let's get ourselves kicked out . " I skipped off as Michael abandoned the cart
"To the bicycles !" He whisper yelled to me.
*******
After walking around , lost , we found the bikes , finally .
"Now Diana remember to just pedal faster if they try to stop you" he explained looking around cautiously . I nodded my head as I sat down on the bike's seat.
"Ready?" He winked and stood on a skateboard ."Yup", I said popping the 'p' . "Go!" I pedaled fast around by the toys , Michael split the other way by the clothes .
It was so fun as I felt this wildness come through me . Then suddenly I was stopped . "Ma'am what do you think you're doing?" A woman in a blue polo and kakis asked me .
"Riding a bike , duh!" I giggled pedaling off . As the woman ran after me screaming "Young lady you stop this instant !" . I stopped and yelled over my shoulder , "Come and get me first". I sped off faster than I had been pedaling feeling cold wind hit me fast going through my hair . "Miss you and your little friend need to leave the premises immediately before we call the police", a security guard stepped in front of the bike. "Uh, uhm yeh. Of course " I quickly got off the bicycle handing it off to the security guard. Michael was standing next to the guard.
"Let's go Mike." I whispered . He nodded and we walked outside . The taxi cab was still there running our time as we were in there . It didn't matter how much it was going to be , I was too busy thinking about how awesome that was.
I laughed as we got in to the cab.
"What's so funny ?" Michael stared at me weirdly , probably thinking I belong in an asylum.
"That's the most fun I've had , literally. The rush was extreme , I loved it . Thanks Michael!" I hugged him as I remembered what happened in the past few minutes .
"No problem" he smugly smiled
The rest of the way home was quiet , I ended up paying $230 for the cab! Ugh I'm in trouble with the "wise money spending" with Adam .
When we got to the house door we just stood there . "What time is it?" I asked , focusing my gaze on the door. "4:32" He blankly spoke. "I don't want to go back in....." I trailed off my summer might just consist of being at home.
"Me either but w-" Michael was interrupted by the noise of the door knob turning. I quickly hid behind Michael letting out a light shriek. "What are you guys doing out here??" Ashton yawned .
"We were out." Michael mumbled .
"Like that?...Ha." He chuckled rudely.
"Whatever , I'm going to bed . Night Michael thanks again. " I quickly hugged him and tried to push past Ashton.
"You're welcome Diana , G'night" he hummed.
"What the hell!" I pushed his chest, but he didn't move . Instead he laughed at my attempt .
"Diana I wanna talk to you." Ashton smiled .
"That is not the way to get me to talk to you . It's almost 5 am can't this wait?" I spat.
"Well, no. C'mon ." Ashton pulled me back outside and made his way to the backyard.
Michael just let him take me! I'm upset at that . Rude. Rude. Rude. I despise Ashton so much for what he put Calum up to ugh.
There was already a blanket on a hill of the summer green grass. "Aha. So you planned this?" I rolled my eyes. "Eh I guess . I wanted to have time with you since the other boys had time with you and I haven't . Well not since the water fight " he grinned .
"Lay down Diana I'm not going to rape you , I planned this out so lie down and let me carry on with it." He pouted.
"Fine!" I laid down next to Ashton , flat on my back. There they were . This was actually a cool moment when I looked up. The stars were aligned , shining bright . Thousands of them . The moon was high and bright . The grayish blue shining down on Ashton and I .
"So Diana how do you like the view ?" He turned his head over to the side staring straight at me.
"It's amazing ; breath taking." I breathed out . "Glad you like it ."
*******
"So what's the real reason of why you brought me here? What do you want?"
I blurted out . We had be lying there for about 15 minutes in complete silence staring at the stars , well I was.
"Ah, I see you like to get to the point of things ." He pointed out , stalling to answer my question.
"Yeah I kinda do ,now tell me." I begged .
"Diana , to be honest you are a very beautiful girl. Great personality too, I know I don't really know you but from what I see and know right now ; it's great....." Ashton paused taking a breath. " I'd really like to get to know you Diana . Maybe take you out , do stuff like this with you. I want to be like best friends , or more than that if we get close enough and feel that way . So whatcha say?" He smiled , hopefully
But I don't believe any word he's saying . Ashton made Calum do that to me . He doesn't know I know , but really? Does he think- ugh . No I'm going to have fun with this.
"That'd be nice" I smiled back.
"Good!" Ashton grinned turning around and getting something from behind him.
"A present for the lovely Diana -" He stopped
"What's your last name?" He asked realizing he didn't know it , well I kind of don't either.
"It's complicated , just say my middle name Rose" I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear .
"...Diana Rose" he softly spoke. Giving me a small box of Sour Patch Kids.
"Thanks" I said , emotionless.
"You okay? Was it mentioning your last name? Is everything okay ? Diana I'm so sorry!" Ashton sounded guilty.
There's the Ashton I know from being a Fangirl ; considerate and sweet.
"Yeah just bad memories with not really knowing it I guess." I shrugged sitting up letting a tear escape .
It was 14 years ago , I had been 3 , getting shipped off to another foster home. No one wanted me , I was a messed up child that no one wanted to take in or deal with. 'They only want the small kids' .. SIKE.
Anyways , I had been sitting in my new social workers' office . Dangling my feet as I waited to get picked up . "Diana what's your last name ." He rose an eyebrow at me as he sat behind the desk.
"Uhm Wose?" I spoke , mispronouncing the R . "No darling that's your middle name." He informed me . Right now it doesn't seem like it's a big deal but it is just wait .
"Ms.Carter , what is little Miss. Diana Rose's name?" He called in my old social worker . I don't know why they had me switch from her to him.
"She doesn't have one John" she whispered , but I still heard. Again me unaware of how this would effect me .
"Then she can't go anywhere ! No last name? No home! " he pounded his fists on the desk .
"Calm down , it isn't her fault it's her Mothers' fault!" She shouted back at him.
Again doesn't seem like a big deal but let's cut to the chase. I went to his office everyday from 10 am to 7 pm to try and find me a home . This continued for 3 long months . No home practically . I lived in a shelter , got picked up by my social worker every morning . Even weekends . I would starve , sometimes I wouldn't eat at the shelter and he wouldn't feed me anything but a bag of chips through those 9 hours of waiting.
Eventually I got a home and ever since I only ever been Diana Rose . No last name...
*****
"Sorry Diana I really am" he wrapped an arm around me . I explained to him , now I was extremely tired . And I got comfy in Ashton's arms .
"Mmhmm" was all I remembered doing before I drifted into a deep sleep . As dawn was appearing on the horizon .
***** so I messed up the first time because I forgot she went to the store with Michael , and I put Calum so if you see Calum's name somewhere I forgot to fix it I'll go over it soon thanks ***
