~~~Ian to the side~~~

~~~Violet's POV~~~

* Monday 22nd of September*

Since yesterday I've been confused and don't know how to act around Ashton anymore.

I guess I'll go to the date and try not to fall under his charms too much. I need to stay protected. I don't know why I even let my guard down around him to begin with.

I just finished my Physcology lesson and I still haven't seen Ashton at all today, he is either ignoring me or I'm succeeding in ignoring him.

Even though we have form together, I came in late and didn't sit down next to him like normal but on the opposite side of the room.

I saw that Lacy was talking to him so I just chose to stay away from them.

I know I'm not his girlfriend or something and have no right to be jealous but I was and I hated myself for it.

I was also too quick to judge because the whole time Ashton was frowning and trying to get rid of Lacy while she just kept trying to sit on his lap or touch him in some manner.

At the end he just stood up and walked out of the room.

I only have one lesson today so in about 20 minutes I can leave for lunch since it's 4th period.

I know for sure that the others can leave as well, except for Jace who has to do something after lunch.

Jace and Lea have been the cutest couple you can find.

They are always together and when they are rarely apart they can't stop talking about the other person and daydream about them, sometimes it can get annoying but right now it is still adorable.

Last night Lea managed to come over to my place so we can catch up and so I'm not alone now that Josh has left back for uni.

Jace asked her out on a date and she is super nervous about it and freaking out that once she lets go around him and acts her crazy self, he will stop liking her and push her away for someone more normal.

I still haven't seen my dad, he only sent me an e-mail saying that he was going to be in Europe for 2 months and he was proud of me for taking care of myself.

I miss him terribly but what can I do when his only escape is his work and I remind him of his loss every time he sees me.

I think mom's death shook him the most.

Me and Josh have cried and cried for her but dad had to be strong for us and not let us see how much he misses her.

Mum and dad were soul mates. They loved each other even after 25 years of marriage and 2 kids.

In March dad turned 45 and it was his first birthday without his other half and it was only a little under a month since her death.

He stayed locked in their room and was looking at pictures and watching home movies with my mum in it.

My parents have a tradition that for their birthdays, one of them, they would go some place, by themselves and leave me and Josh with some relatives.

They would relax and send us postcards from where they are and bring us presents.

As you can probably guess this year it was going to be dad's birthday and they were supposed to go to Venice where they got engaged 27 years ago.

I feel so sorry for my dad and if I could take his pain along with mine, I would.

This is real life though and I can't take pain away from people that don't deserve it. I wish I could help people more but donating money is not much in my opinion.

You get the taxes and the organization taking their own share of the money and you are left with nothing for the people that actually need it.

The bell finally rings and takes me out of my day dream and head rant. I put all my books in my bag and stand up from my seat and make my way out of the classroom.

The halls are filled with other classes out for lunch and the little kids are pushing people around as well.

Why can't they see that they don't own the school?

They are 11-14 year old kids that think they know everything. After 15 you kind get thinking what a little shit you were for years and start to change.

I make my way to the front gate but suddenly I'm picked up and thrown over someone's shoulder.

I give you 3 guesses to who it is.

1)

2)

3)

BLAKE!

In the 2 weeks and a bit since I met him, he has taken to me like a sister and now I have another older brother.

If this was 2 weeks ago, Blake would already be on the ground and with possibly a broken arm but since I'm comfortable with him now, I start laughing.

I laugh hysterically while hitting my fists on his back so he'll let me down, since I'm not the lightest girl in the world.

He spins me around while I continue laughing and we are drawing a lot of attention.

Blake is one of those guys in school that any girl which is in the stage where she notices guys, has a crush on him.

Girls have stopped where they are going and are staring at him with adoration and awe in their eyes.

Some girls from Year 10-11 are giving me glares that I have his attention.

Blake finally puts me down and he crosses his arms over his chest while smirking at my pink face.

I'm still laughing, by the way.

People have left now and I am starting to calm down.

I had stopped laughing when someone behind me starts tickling me and I erupt in a new set of hysterical laughter and trying to get the person off of me.

I turn around and see Lea, on the floor laughing at me, next to Blake.

Jace is walking towards us looking at Lea with something close to adoration is his eyes and I can't help but think that they are getting serious and pretty fast.

He picks her up and holds her bridal style while she is still laughing and places kisses on her whole face, making her laughter turn to adorable giggles.

I tone my glare down to a smile and look at the adorable couple. They are perfect for each other and I am so glad that the hit to the head by a football lead to my best friend possibly finding love.

Then warm,strong hands wrap around my waist and I tense knowing it's probably Ashton and I have been avoiding him all day.

"You've been avoiding me, sweetheart."

That voice is definitely not Ashton and I instantly recognize that voice and who it belongs to.

I turn around and come face to face with Ian.

I feel all of the laughter and softness drain out of my face and my bitch face is on.

I try and pull away from him but his grip on me tightens and I start to panic.

I know that he won't do anything in a public place like fight with me but that didn't stop him raping me on my birthday.

The laughter behind me has died down and the girls are back to now stare at Ian.

Behind me I can feel someone's presence and I can guess that Blake is behind me and I can vaguely hear Lea shouting behind me.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE! GET AWAY FROM HER OR I'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU MEET DRACULA AND FRANKENSTEIN AND THE FUCKING DINOSAURS!" she shouts at him.

I look back and see Jace holding her back and Blake on his phone, wearing a murderous face.

Then Blake speaks.

"Ian, I would advice that you get away from her and get out of here before Ashton gets here or I loose my temper." he says coldly and I can quietly hear shouting from his phone and I'm guessing that Ashton is on the other end of the conversation.

I have never seen Blake serious or using that tone of voice, ever.

By the look on his brother's face I can see that this really is not a normal occurrence for Blake who is normally laughing and joking.

"Move out of my way!" we hear someone shout and the crowd that has gathered parts like the red sea.

Out of it comes Ashton looking deadly and angrier than I've ever seen him, staring right at Ian.

"Let her go, right NOW!'' he shouts coming even closer, while Ian looks slightly scared for a split second but then the normal cocky smirk comes back.

"Why would I do that, dear brother in law." he taunts him and Ashton looks ready to kill, while everyone including me is staring confused.

Only the twins look even more pissed off now and Lea is holding Jace back now and not the other way around.

"DON'T BRING HER INTO THIS." Jace shouts at Ian.

Ian laughs like he has won something and suddenly Ashton calms down and finally looks at me for the first time and sees that I'm not exactly trapped but terrified and his gaze softens on mine.

He gives me a comforting smile and I try and return it but in the sad look on his face I can tell that I'm not very convincing.

Ian tightens his hold on me and speaks lowly in my ear.

"How many times have I told you to not to think of other guys, I'm the only one you need, sweetheart." with that he places a kiss on my neck.

Ashton is back to looking really mad but manages to calm down and look at me, giving me a look telling me that he will help me and Ian won't win.

I get the boost of confidence that I need and get ready to beat Ian up, once more.

I stomp on his foot and take his arm that is around my waist and lean down so my butt is on his hip and I flip him over and he is on the floor, with my knee on his back and I have twisted his hands behind his back.

Some stupid girls are glaring at me because I have hurt the pretty boy while some of the smarter girls have realized that I wasn't in Ian's arms by choice.

The guys also have mixed reactions.

Some are looking at me scared and surprised while others are smirking and giving me heated looks.

"Woah! I want to do that!"

"That bitch won't get another guy to like her."

"I know, she'll die alone."

"That chick is the next one in my bed. Can you imagine how wild she is in bed?"

Those are the main comments coming from the crowd and at that moment the school guard decided to come and see what the commotion is about.

He shoos everyone away and for the next hour we are in the principles office, trying to explain how a guy old enough to be a teacher got into the school, threatened a student, caused a scene and was on the floor 5 minutes later.

It's now 2pm and a lot later than I thought that I would be leaving school and not in this mood either.

I went from terrified to scared to confident to pissed off in the matter of a couple of minutes.

Now I just want to go home and lay down and feel nothing. I am emotionally tired and need a break but me being me is not getting a break.

I walk out of school to get to my car and see that there is a note on the hood of my car.

Hey babe, that didn't go to plan today but rest assured that next time we won't be interrupted, and no I didn't forget about your birthdayy. It's my favourite day of the year, after all. I will definitely see you then but before that I'll see you this weekend at your competition and STAY AWAY FROM ASHTON! Love ya babe.

I feel myself starting to panic again and then there was a hand on my shoulder which cause me to hide the letter and turn to look at Blake.

I really though it would be Ashton and he would be able to help me with the panic that is settling and also Blake knows nothing about what happened and I can't bring myself to tell anyone else and I regret telling Ashton.

A little bit.

"Come on, I'll take you to Jace's bar because you look like you need a drink."

With that I get in my car and follow him to the place that Jace works.

We make our way inside and the place looks way classier than the normal pub and the music was actually decent and not just computer voices and beats that can't be recreated live.

I'm a rock chick but I like other music as well, since I love dancing I listen to other types of music.

I'm a Latina so I love the samba and salsa and tango, just haven't found a partner that can keep up with my choreography.

Dance in another way that I lose myself and forget my trouble, that's why the girls are in my class and not going to therapy with the abuse we have been through.

There is a guy and a woman at the bar and they look friendly, the girl is not the stereotypical bimbo that is going to sleep with anything with a wallet.

She looks like a normal girl that is trying to earn some money and not here to widen her bed post.

The guy looks like a guy that will flirt with you but is easy to get along with.

I know I am being very judgemental but I am normally not wrong with my judgement on someone's character.

Well, except for Ashton.

I make my way over to the bar and order 3 shots of the strongest drink and the girl looks at me sympathetically, probably thinking that I've just broken up with someone.

How I wish that was true!

I quickly swallow back the shots but ignore the burn in my throat and stomach.

I must have drank over 10 shots when the bartender starts to try and stop my drinking and Blake is looking really concerned and has stopped drinking after his one drink equalled to 5 of mine.

"I think you should stop and let's get you back home." Blake shouts over the music.

"I have nothing to go home to." I slurred back and he looks a little taken back.

"Of course you have a home to come back to." he answers back, looking very sure of himself if only he knew the truth.

"Oh what do I have to go back to?" I huff but continue my rant anyway.

"My dad is never home and can't stand to look at me because I remind him of my dead mother and my brother is at uni and has his own problems to deal with rather than his little sister. I know my life is not the worst but every night I fall asleep alone and wake up alone as well. The house is empty and I'm sure after Ashton leaves me you will as well and Lea has Jace. She has forgotten all about me and I can't blame her. I want her to be happy but for me i don't see the point of me living anymore." I finish my rant with another shot and turn to glare at Blake.

"If Jace hurts her , I swear I know 1000's of ways to torture and kill him." I finish my statement by poking his chest.

He smiles a little at my last sentence.

"He won't hurt her, don't worry about that and I don't doubt that you can cause him pain. I felt it remember." he teases and manages to get a small smile out of me.

He then wraps his arm under my shoulder and around my chest and lifts me off the bar stool.

"Time to get you home." he tells me then I black out.

I try and open my eyes but they feel like they have been glued together.

My head is pounding and I have the mother of all hangovers.

I move around in the strangely big bed and finally open my eyes.

I quickly jump up and regret it the second my ass left the heavenly sheets.

I look around and I'm definitely not in my room, or house.

This room is like the bottom half of our house and it has tons of things in it as well.

There are art supplies, school desk right in the corner, I laugh a little at that, a massive TV infront of the bed and the biggest one was the music stuff on the side of the room.

It's filled with guitars, sheets and there is even a piano in here.

I am confused in whose's house am I?

The only person with a house this big is Ian but how could I end up with him when I haven't seen him since the run in at the gym weeks ago?

Then everything comes back and my head pounds even more.

I stumble back onto the bed and look into my pocket and find the note from Ian.

Then I remember him coming into school and then me becoming a drunken mess in front of Blake and then blacking but I still have no idea where I am.

I look down and see that I'm in yesterdays clothes which are a simple Axel Rudi Pell top with boyfriend style jeans.

I make my way to one of the doors in the rooms and open it to reveal a bathroom of any ones dream.

When I am just about to enter it and take a shower the door to the room opens and I grab the first think I can reach which so happens to be a soap and aim it at the person coming in.

It turns out that it's Ashton coming in. He looks down at the soap and up to my face in amusement.

He then walks towards me and takes the soap out of my trembling hands and puts it back in the bathroom before walking back to the bed and sitting down while patting the place next to him.

I hesitantly walk towards the bed and sit far away from him.

"We need to talk." he tells me and now he is serious.

"No, we don't." is my reply and he looks a little surprised at my reply.

"What happened yesterday?" he asks me while trying to move closer to me but I get up and stand in front of him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I continue.

"So nothing happened to cause you to get drunk to unconsciousness and for Blake to feel the need to take you here instead of home?" he asks while lifting one of his eyebrows.

"I just haven't drank and partied in a while." I give my vague reply while moving away to the door.

I then remember about my competition and what the drinking will do with my preparation but there's nothing I can do about now.

I stop on my way when I remember that it's a Tuesday and he must have had school but is here with me.

I turn around to face him again.

"Don't you have school today?" I ask him.

"Now who's asking the questions?" he teases me while standing up and walking to another door that is not the bathroom and opens it to reveal a closet.

He takes off his current shirt and puts on button down black shirt that looks more formal than his uni sweatshirt, which is probably his dad's.

I try and look away from him while changing but that's easier said than done.

He walks back to me and takes my hand and links our fingers before I can do anything else to get away.

"We are going on a date." he says and pulls me out of the room.
