Makenna laughed as he picked her up on his shoulder, “Bryce James! Put me down!” She yelled, laughing as her hands went to his back. She rarely used his middle name unless she was trying to annoy him. Though she did forget sometimes that his middle name was his fathers. Makenna looked up at him as he set her down, “Hmmm…I don’t know.” She said, pretending to think about it. She giggled as she grabbed his face in her hands and kissed him again. Makenna looked over as Axel walked to them, pulling out a baggy of ecstasy.

Axel looked at Makenna, then at Bryce, “You two really want to get this party started?” He asked them. He knew that the two of them had tried ecstasy before. He nudged Bryce, “Come on it will be fun. Ashlyn and Kingston already took some.” He said.

Makenna watched Axel then looked at Bryce. She knew he wouldn’t turn his friend down. Makenna looked at Axel, “Sure why not.” She said, laughing softly. She took it from him, looking at Bryce as he took his. She took hers then grabbed her beer and took a sip of her drink. She was well on her way to numbing everything. Makenna looked at Bryce and hugged him as the music blared through the house. She rolled her eyes when she seen Ashlyn making out with Kingston, “Ew Ash why?” She yelled, laughing at her friend.

---

Ashton groaned as she grabbed his crotch, “Fuck baby.” He breathed as he stepped closer to her. He placed his hands on the counter, pinning her there. “Well you are different than they are. You are more amazing.” He said, smirking as he watched her take a swig of her drink. “Plus, you are smarter.” He said. He ran his hand up her thigh, “By far too good for me.” He slurred. He was once again letting the drugs run his life. Ashton did have it under control though. A few months ago he disappeared for two weeks on a bender, it was Madi who found him in some run down apartment with people he didn’t know. “You care about me.’ He muttered, not looking at her. “You actually give a shit if I live or die.” He said, looking at her, swallowing her.

Ignoring that she had used his middle name, he happily accepted the kiss. His intoxicated state made everything feel more intense. He sighed, and chuckled at his buddy with the baggie. "Well of course, its only appropriate!" Washing down the drug with his beer, he held Makenna close and looked over to their friends making out near the counter. Bryce laughed, "GET IT!" He chuckled, and felt the ecstasy starting to hit him.

Kingston broke away from Ashlyn, and looked over to Makenna. "If you're jealous, Bryce is always down for a good make out sesh." He leaned down to Ashlyns ear, "Though I'm hoping this ends in more than a make out sesh." He nipped at her earlobe, then turned to face his friends. He kept his arm wrapped around the girl, and motioned to the group. "I say we find a good drinking game. Maybe a strip game?" He raised an eyebrow, hoping his friends would encourage his choice.

Bryce was starting to feel really good, he smirked. "I'm always down for a good game. We could up it even more, whoever loses whatever game is not only naked, but has to go jump in the pool?" A devious grin danced on his lips, now.



When Chris would pin her to the counter, she would instantly begin to shake. With Ashton, she only wanted to wrap her arms around him, and taste his lips. She blushed, and shivered as he spoke, and ran his hand up her thigh. His last statement is what got to her though. He was referring to when he went on his bender over the summer. Right after 4th of July, he ran off. He would barely respond to messages, kept shutting his phone off, he'd call her all the time, always off payphones. He would use apps on other phones to talk to her. But he was always in contact with her.

She was still mad at him for leaving her. Chris became worse when he left. She never told him that she ended up in the E.R. with a concussion, and busted gum line. She was able to hide the bruising. It had happened a week before she found Ashton. When she finally found him, he was in some rundown apartment, covered in vomit, booze, and body sweat. People passed out all over the floor. She cried when she found him. She never judged him though. She was honestly just hoping for him to come back.

"I don't know what I'd do if you died." She wasn't able to say much else. Her mind was clouded with thoughts of the past, now. Her gut was in a knot.

@ heroin bob.
Makenna laughed when they mentioned playing strip poker, “Yes! That sounds fun.” She said as she kept her arms wrapped about Bryce. She looked up at him as the drugs took affect. Makenna kissed him deeply as she let her hands rest on his cheeks. She ran her tongue against his, moaning as he pulled her closer. She really didn’t care if their friends were standing right there. Makenna felt someone smack her eyes, pulling away, seeing Ashlyn.
Ashlyn laughed, “Come on your horny bitch we wanna play.” She said.

Makenna bit her bottom lip lightly as she looked up at Bryce. She walked with them to a table, then sat down and took a swig of her beer. She let her hand rest on Bryce’s thigh as Kingston dealt out the cards. She gripped his leg, knowing that he had always talked about how he liked aggressive women.

---

Ashton ran his fingers through her hair, “I will never leave you Mads.” He said as he kissed her softly. He wasn’t going to promise that he wouldn’t go on another bender, but he would always come back to Maddi. Ashton pulled away, “Now you stay here.” He said. He went out and got them some more alcohol and him more drugs. “Here babygirl.” He said as he handed her beer. He crushed up one of the pills and snorted the line. Ashton never let her do pills because he didn’t want her getting as sucked into this life as he was. She knew that she still had a chance.

@ RomanSky

Bryce was taken back a bit by her dominant behavior. Holding onto her waist, he pulled her closer, growing harder when she moaned against his mouth. Bryce gave a jokingly dirty glare to Ashlyn when she broke up their fun. He walked with the group, and took his spot at the table. He smirked when he felt Makenna grab his thigh. "Alright, let's get this game started!"

Kingston dealt the cards, then went over the rules one more time. The drugs had hit everyone by now. "Don't forget, loser jumps into the pool, naked." He wiggled his eyebrows. "And I'm hoping it's one of the two lovely ladies at this table, because I've seen the guys. And I don't want to, again." He laughed, and the game began. Articles of clothing were flying everywhere. Before he knew it, Kingston was left with one sock, and his boxers.

Bryce was sitting there, boxers, and both socks. Everyone else was getting down to their skins, too. He looked to Makenna, and ran a hand up her thigh. He leaned over, and kissed her neck. "I don't know if I'll be able to control myself around you, tonight." He teased.



Madi blushed when he kissed her. His words meant a lot to her, but his actions would mean more. Especially after she had seen him go through almost everything. She watched as he left, her heart fluttered when he returned with the pet name. "Thank you." She blushed, and sipped her drink. She watched him short a line. She knew he wouldn't let her do that, but she kinda wanted to. "If I ever decide to try something like that, can you be there with me?"

She had seen what drugs could do to people. Chris was a prime example. He'd shoot up, come down, beat her, and repeat. It made her afraid to try anything. But Ashton was so loving, and carefree, it made it wonder if there were different routes to the drug uses. Madi grabbed a cigarette from a pack she knew was kept in the bathroom. Lighting it up, she smoked away her curious thoughts. "I wanna watch you do another line." She leaned down to his ear, "Then I want you to fuck me."

--

Chris was slumped on the couch. Stirring awake some, he noticed Ashton, and Madi were missing. He looked to his brother, Calvin, who had some girl on his lap. "Wh-where's Madi?" He slurred. He was ignored. So in his inebriated state, he found his way to the bedroom, where another girl was lying down. Chris crawled into bed with the girl, and let his body fall back into a dark sleep.

@ heroin bob.

Makenna smiled as he kissed her neck. She was down to her bra and panties. She looked at him, "I dont think im going to stop you." She whispered. She smiled as Kingston lost the next hand. "Ha..you suck." She teased the guy. She finished her beer then looked at Bryce, taking his beer. "Mine is gone." She said laughing as she rested her head on his arm.

---

Ashton smirked, "Fuck thats hot." He said. He snorted another line then grabbed her and began to pull her pants down. Ashton thrust into her, "Oh fuck." he moaned as he started to thrust fast. Ashton moaned as he pulled her hair, "Fuck me baby." he moaned.

@ RomanSky

Bryce's breath caught in his throat at her comment. "I .. oh .." he blushed a bit, then nibbled at her earlobe. Chuckling as she took his beer. "You're too much for me, Mak." He laughed at his friend as Kingston had to remove his last sock, he was left in his boxers. Bryce dealt the next hand, and as the round came to an end, it was the ever cocky Kingston who was left stark naked.

Kingston was too fucked up to truly care. He stood up, still in his boxers, and went to the pool. The party was surrounding the pool outback, and Kingston was standing there on the diving board. "I gotta make this shit dramatic, cmon!" Dropping his boxers to his feet, he let his limp member swing as he backed up, then ran off the diving board. Performing a canon ball, the bassist came popping out of the water. "Someone's gotta join me!"

Bryce looked to Axel, the two boys looked to Ashlyn, and Makenna, and grinned. He slowly walked behind Makenna, and wrapped his arms around her waist. Within seconds, the pair was splashing into the cold pool water. Everyone had forgotten it was October. The group of laughing teenagers, splashed, and shouted. Soon more intoxicated teens were joining the group. Bryce held Makenna close, "I'm not letting anyone near you."



Madi moaned as he thrust into her. Digging her nails into his clothed back, she moved her hips against his. The alcohol had taken over her ability to both be quiet, and keep her total balance. Giggling as the two stumbled a bit, she buried her face into his shoulder. "I.. I love.." she stopped herself before she said something she would regret.

Makenna smiled as she stood there watching Kingston on the diving board. Her and Ashlyn laughed when Kingston jumped into the pool. She screamed when Bryce grabbed her and jumped into the pool. She laughed as she splashed him. "You are such an ass." She said as she felt his arms go around her. She bit her bottom lip lightly when he said he wasn't going to let anyone near her. She turned towards him and wrapped her arms around him. Makenna kissed him and wrapped her legs around his waist. She liked having him so close to her. Makenna kissed his cheek and ran her fingers through her hair.

---

Ashton moaned as he felt himself getting closer. He groaned as he hit his climax as she did. "Fuck." He breathed as he pulled away. He looked at her, "You are amazing." He said as he kissed her cheek. He fixed his jeans then finished his beer. "We better head out before Chris realized that you are gone." He slurred.

@ RomanSky

Bryce held her close, enjoying the kisses she gave him. Her body pressed against his was all he wanted from her. He wanted to be close to her. He knew she was reluctant, not only because he was known for being with so many girls, and not keeping a relationship. But her own other reasons. "Do you want to head to the shed soon? Or?" He chuckled, and dipped down to give her neck a few wet kisses.

Kingston had swam over to Ashlyn, his naked freedom causing him to be more rambunctious. "So, do you like me?" He winked, and tread water near her.



Madi poured a little when they were finished. She didn't want to leave the bathroom, or her safe space with Ashton. She didn't want to go back to Chris, who for all she knew, was waiting patiently to yell at her. Nodding, she fixed herself, and followed Ashton back towards the living room. She looked around, but couldn't find Chris anywhere. Finding Calvin, Madi went up to him. "Where's your brother?"

She kept peeking around him, trying to see if she could find Chris anywhere.

Makenna laughed softly as he kissed along her neck. "Let's go to the shed." She said. She climbed out of the pool with him, waving at their friends. "We are leaving." she said. Makenna walked with him out of the party and shivered as they made their way back to the shed. Once they got to the shed, following the light of the flashlight Bryce had she pulled her jacket off. "Fuck it's so cold." She said as she pulled her shirt off. She just wanted out of her wet clothes. She watched as Bryce turned on the space heater they had. She took her clothes off, leaving her in her bra and panties. She shivered as she stood next to the space heater.

---

Calvin looked at Madi, "He went to bed with what I thought was you." He slurred. "I guess not." HE said, laughing. Ashton frowned at Calvin's words. He looked at Madi, "Maybe you should go check on him." He said. He opened a beer and sat next to Calvin, taking the bong from him. He took a hit from it then exhaled a cloud of smoke. "Ahh fuck that is good." He said, laughing.

@ heroin bob.

@ RomanSky

Bryce quickly stripped down to his boxers, and joined Makenna beside the space heater. After a few moments, he went and collected all of the blankets, and heavy sleeping bags. The fall nights were growing colder, so it was time to break out the heavy duty stuff. Bryce made a bed for them on the couch, and dragged the space heater closer to them. He wrapped the blanket around his shoulders, and extended his arms towards Makenna. "Wanna cuddle?" He smirked, and pulled out a small bong from behind the couch, and packed it. "Perfect way to warm up after tonight?"

As amazing as she looked in just her bra, and underwear, Bryce knew better. He knew better than to try, and force her into anything. He cared about her too much to let that happen.



Madi felt a little embarrassed when Calvin claimed Chris had gone to bed with her. But it bothered her even more when Ashton just sat back, and got even more fucked up. Clenching her small fists, she went to the spare bedroom that her, and Chris had always shared. Opening the door, she felt like screaming. Some girl had herself wrapped around Chris, and he was allowing it. 'I really can't be mad though, can I? I mean, I've been cheating on him for a few weeks now...'

Shutting the bedroom door, Madi drunkenly stumbled towards the front door. She decided to attempt to wander home from the party, and sleep in her own bed for once. She sent a jumbled text to Ashton, informing him of her plan.

--

The next morning, Madi woke up to numerous texts, and missed calls. Apparently Chris woke up, and realized she wasn't in bed with him, and when he asked someone where she was, they had said the last time they saw her was with some guy. Nobody could tell it was Ashton apparently. But they saw her leave the bathroom with someone. Chris claimed he would be at her house as soon as she responded to his messages. Feeling nauseous, Madi ran to the bathroom, and threw up what little stomach contents she had.

Without thinking, the small girl grabbed for her bottle of xanax, and crushed a few pills up. Snorting the lines, she sat back, and sent a text to Chris.

Fuck you. Pussy.
All you do is beat me.
I'm done. I'm out.

@ heroin bob.
Makenna smiled, “Of course.” She said as she climbed onto the bed and snuggled up to him. She watched as he took a hit from the bong. She wrapped her arms around his waist as they sat under the covers. Makenna took the bong from him when he offered it to her and took a hit from it before she passed it back. She exhaled a cloud of smoke then held the blankets close. She watched as he set the bong down then she placed her hand on his cheek and kissed him again. She held him close and rested her head on his shoulder.

---

Chris frowned when he looked at his phone, “What the fuck.” He snapped. He looked at Ashton who was already high and laughing with their friend. “Fucking Madi just tried to break up with me.” He said as he stormed out.

Ashton watched as Christ stormed out then followed behind, stumbling slightly. “Christ wait. Maybe she is just upset.” He said, walking with his friend. When they got to Madi’s Chris beat on the door. Ashton leaned against the wall across the hallway from her apartment. He was so fucked up the hallway felt like it was moving. When Madi opened the door he grinned, “Mads.” He exclaimed, laughing. He frowned when Chris moved inside, shoving her. “what the fuck dude?” Ashton snapped as he followed him. He shoved Chris, “Don’t do that man.” He said, his eyes glassed over from the drugs. He usually didn’t get involved, but he felt like Madi was technically his girl now not Chris’s.

@ RomanSky

Bryce happily accepted the cheek kisses from Makenna, his intoxicated state of feelings made them even better. "You're honestly so perfect." He kissed the top of her head, and kept the blankets around them. They had been in this situation a million times before, ever since they were kids, but lately Bryce had been feeling something more. He found it easier to deny the feelings though, he didn't want to risk his friendship with Makenna. Plus, he had high hopes for his band. He wanted to make it big, and he knew a relationship would hold him back from focusing.

But this girl, she was his muse. "Other girls have nothing on you."



Madi was sitting on her bathroom floor, her eyes glassed, and vision hazed. Jumping at the sound of the banging, the drugged girl stumbled to the door of the apartment. She unwillingly opened the door, her heart felt relief when she saw Ashton. But it all changed once Chris shoved her into the apartment. Madi watched as Ashton became defensive, something that had happened before, but there was more anger in his tone.

--

Chris glared at Ashton, and shoved him back. "Stay the fuck outta this, dude. She isn't your bitch." He turned back to face Madi. His eyes squinting, chest puffing.

--

Huffing, she shook her head. "I'm not your anything! I dumped you! And he sure fucked me like I'm his!" The last words escaped her mouth before she could stop herself. Clamping her hands quickly, she took a step back. She knew the beating was coming. It was inevitable now.

Makenna smiled, “Oh really now?” She teased him. She snuggled him and closed her eyes. Before she said anymore she passed out on him. Makenna woke up the next morning and pulled away from Bryce. Makenna rubbed her temples, her head pounding from the alcohol. She grabbed her now dry clothes that she hung up and pulled them on. Makenna looked at Bryce and woke him up. “We have to get going.” She said. She knew that her dad would be pissed if she didn’t go home. She really didn’t feel like dealing with that.

---

Ashton glared at him, “She’s not a bitch!” He yelled at his friend. He looked over with wide eyes when Madi confessed about what they did. “Mads.” He breathed, shaking his head.

Chris looked between them, “You son of a bitch!” He yelled. He grabbed a hold of Ashton, “You are suppose to be my friend!” He screamed as he punched Ashton hard, knocking the wind out of him. He threw him to the ground then went to Madi, “You are such a fucking whore!” He yelled as he grabbed her. He shook her and slapped her across the face. “You are fucking mine do you understand!” He yelled. “Tell him.” He said, pushing her at Ashton. “Tell him you are mine and I won’t beat him again.” He snapped.

Ashton spit the blood from his mouth as he got to his feet. He glared at Chris as he shoved Madi towards him. “Don’t do it Mads he’s just being a fucker.” He snapped.

@ heroin bob.

@ RomanSky

Bryce laughed when he realized she had fallen asleep. Keeping the blanket around the two of them, he kissed her forehead. "I love you." Soon he was asleep. Groaning as Makenna woke him up, he sighed. He knew the last thing she wanted was to make her dad mad. "Alright, lets go." He really didn't want to let her go. He didn't want to let her go back to that house, or that monster.

Getting dressed, he looked to his phone, and his stomach dropped. His dad had messaged him, numerous times demanding to know where he had been. Then there were more telling him to not come home, all of his stuff would be outside. Bryce kept his composure, Makenna had it worse. He wanted to keep a brave face for her. "Do you want me to come with you?" He was uncomfortable with going home.



Madi felt her heart drop, her entire soul left her body when Chris got a hold of her. Her eyes were wide, then shut when a sting of pain erupted through her face. She couldn't cry, or blubber. She could barely breathe, her chest was tight. She had ruined everything within seconds. The drugs had worn off, she was capable of feeling it all. When Ashton spoke, her stomach dropped more. She felt defeated. Madi knew Chris wouldn't stop hurting Ashton, unless she said she was his.

With tears pouring from her eyes, and blood dribbling from her lip, and nose, she coughed. "I-I'm Chris'." She wanted to die. She wanted to swallow a bottle of pills, and never wake up. The only reason she said she was his, was to keep Ashton safe. Madi looked down to her feet, unable to look Ashton in the eye.

@ heroin bob.
Makenna looked at him and nodded, “Sure you can walk with me.” She said. She walked out with him, amazed at how much it cooled off. She sighed as she walked through the woods. She didn’t want to go home to her father and drunk mother. She stopped at the end of the woods and hugged Bryce tightly. She knew if her dad seen them together that not only would he go after her but he would go after Bryce. “I will text you.” She whispered. She pulled away then went to her house, shutting the door quietly.

“Where the fuck have you been!” Her dad yelled from the other room. “Off whoring around?” He asked as he walked out.

Makenna just ignored him and went to her room.

“Don’t fucking ignore me you little bitch.” He said as he walked up after her. Makenna closed her eyes as she leaned against her door.

---

Ashton frowned at her words, seeing Chris smirk. “Why don’t you head home and shoot up with something.” Chris said, glaring at Ashton. Ashton looked at his friend then looked at Madi, “Yea alright.” He said. “Bye Madi.” He said. He walked out of the apartment and headed to meet up with one of his friend. It was a friend that he often went on a bender with. He sat down, beginning to drink and do as many drugs as he could get.

Chris chuckled and looked at Madi, “Now next time don’t go and fuck my friend.” He said as he ran his fingers through her hair. “It never ends well.” He said.

@ RomanSky

Bryce knew, he knew he wasn't allowed to follow. He had only ever been inside her house a handful of times in all the years they've been friends. He held her tightly, then watched her walk off. His stomach was in his feet. Wandering to his own home, he walked inside, and saw his inebriated father sitting at the kitchen table, yet another half naked woman making breakfast. The mess of a man, barely lifted his gaze to meet his son. "Oi, you piece o' shit. Where have you been?" He slurred, his red eyes glinting.

The young boy took a deep breath, and shook his head. "None of your damn business." He turned on his heel, and went straight to his room. He turned on 'Disturbed', and screamed alone. He jumped around his room, the walls were vibrating. He could barely hear his drunk parent screaming to turn it down. He only ignored him more. Bryce went to his small bathroom, and stared in the mirror. Violent thoughts flooding his head. Usually he would write, but today he wanted to fight.

Screaming out of anger, he threw his fists into the mirror. Glass shards went flying around him, he pounded the mirror again. Blood splatters, smaller shards. Bryce didn't care, he was so fed up. So fed up with the drunk parents, the abuse, the easy girls, the shitty people. He wanted something more. Something better.



Madi couldn't look Ashton in the eye, tears were still slipping down her now bruising cheeks. She wiped her eyes when he left, and looked to Chris. She nodded silently, and bit her tongue. How badly she wanted to run after Ashton, and tell Chris to fuck off. But she knew it wouldn't do anything for her. Chris never left, he refused. She even fucked his best friend, and he still stays. "I-I'm sorry." She stammered, and went towards the bedroom. "I um.. I have some pills if you want to..." she trailed off, and found herself back in her bathroom.

Snorting down three more lines of pill powder, her entire body became numb. She wanted to feel close to someone. She wanted to feel close to Ashton. While Chris was snorting his lines, she said she had to go to the kitchen. While there, she made a snap video to send to Ashton. "I love you. Forgive me." Chris started to walk into the room, she sent the video, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hi, baby."

'Who am I...?'

Makenna frowned as her dad shoved the door open and grabbed a hold of her, "Get off of me you fucking asshole!" She yelled. She screamed as he slapped her and shoved her into the wall. Makenna gasped as he threw her to the floor and kicked her a few time.

"Quit being a fucking whore!" He yelled before he stormed off.

Makenna got to her feet and grabbed her jacket and phone. She heard her dad storm out of the house then tear out of the drive. Makenna walked downstairs, seeing her mom passed out. She slapped her mom, "Wake up!" She yelled at her, "Do something!" She screamed at her mom. Makenna wiped her eyes and the blood from her lip. She walked outside, holding her side. She looked over at Bryce's house before she went over and climbed up to his window. She knocked on his bedroom window a few times. She had never really went to his house but she needed him. She sneaked in through his window once before. She looked at him as he opened his blinds the blood running from her lip. She could hear his music blaring.

---

Ashton looked at his phone, seeing the video. He threw his phone on the couch and looked over when his friend mentioned going on a road trip. "Yes!" He said, in a haze from the drugs. He just wanted to get away for a bit. Ashton went with his friend, drinking from the bottle they had.

Chris smiled as he hugged her, "Hey." He said as he kissed her.
A few days later

Chris walked in with Madie and frowned when his brother came up to them. Calvin had worry all over him, "What's wrong?" Chris asked.

Calvin looked at them, "Ashton is gone. I can't get ahold of him and it's been three days. I'm getting freaked bro." He said. He said down, "Like listen." He said, calling Ashton's phone. It went straight to voicemail. "Fuck what if.." He was cut off by Chris.

Chris frowned, "He's not dead you idiot. He's on a bender again. Maybe he's dead, but i doubt it." He said. "We will find him. I'm sure he will turn up." He said.

@ heroin bob.

@ RomanSky

Bryce couldn't think. His knuckles bloody, his head was pounding. Throwing a few more things around his room, he stopped when he heard a tapping noise. Turning the music down a little, he opened his blinds to see Makenna with a bloody lip. More rage flashed through him. Opening the window, he urged her inside. "Makenna, I swear I'm gonna end his fuckin' life." He wrapped his best friend in a tight hug. He could hear his father downstairs, screaming at the woman he had brought home. "You deserve a better life than any of this."

He wasn't afraid of anything, besides losing Makenna. He knew how horrible her father was, he knew she wasn't safe. He knew her mother was always passed out, and did nothing. He hated it. It hurt him to see her suffer this way. "I promise on everything, when I make it big, you're coming with me. Got it?" He kissed her forehead.



Ashton still hadn't responded to Madi. She had sent texts, and tried calling. All failed. When her and Chris arrived at the house, and listened to Calvin, her stomach dropped. She knew who he was with, and exactly where he was. But if she went looking for him, or said anything, Chris would end her. She twisted her the sleeves of her hoodie, and listened to the guys. "M-maybe he's um.. over on the south end, around fifth and high?" That's where she found him last time.

"If you want, I can go look. I have to go over there anyway for a job interview." Lying to Chris, perfect.

Makenna hugged him, "Please dont talk to him." She said as she held him. She pulled away, noticing his hands. "What did you do?" She asked as she touched them. She looked up at him when he mentioned getting away from the town. "Yes that sounds amazing." She whispered. She hugged him again not wanting to let go.

---

Chris nodded, "Alright, go." He said. Ashton sat on the floor leaning against the wall. He waa surrounded by bottles and empty pill bottles. Ashton grabbed a bottle and took a swig of it.
