Dawns POV
It happened so fast I didn't even realize what happened.
"Ash what just happened?"
"I'm not even entirely sure."
"Oh..."
He set me down and pulled me in for another hug.
After about a minute he broke the silence.
"Did you tell him the dance is off?"
"No I didn't get the chance to."
"I'll do it don't worry. I don't want him to hurt you again."
"Thanks Ash." He seems to care a lot …
I noticed he was staring at me.
"What?" I giggled
"Nothing."
Ash's POV
I started to stare down at her.
"What?" She giggled
"Nothing." I said, but in reality, I was just looking at how beautiful she is.
"Let's get back to the cafeteria." I suggested.
"Good idea."
The last bell just rang, which means school's out for the day.
"Ash, can you come to my locker with me?" Dawn asked looking worried.
"Sure Dawn." She's still scared of Paul, but I wouldn't blame her.
"Thanks."
I stood behind her as she was getting what she needed. She pulled her ponytail out too.
"Dawn, I have to go to mine too, you wanna come or wait outside?"
"I'll come."
We were on our way home when she turned to me.
"What's that look for?"
She took my beanie and put it on.
"I wanted to try it on and it's way too big!"
I laughed. "Well it is a boy beanie, which means it wasn't made for girls!"
She pouted. "Take it back then!"
"But it looks good on you!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, keep it. I can get a new one." She just looked so cute in it.
"Okay, okay calm your balls."
"Dawn!" I was surprised she said that.
"What?" She giggled
"I wasn't expecting that out of you!"
"Boo hoo mom."
Again with the mom thing.
Dawn's POV
My mom's in the living room, maybe I can sneak past her so she doesn't see my cheek…
"Welcome home Dawn, how was your day?" Shit
"It was fine mom." Then I ran up into the bathroom in my room.
This bruise was worse than I thought. I put some makeup on it, but it didn't seem to help that much. I looked at my wrist and shrugged. I can cover that with long sleeves.
I looked back up at my cheek and was reminded of when he hit me. Then I winced.
I went to lay on my bed and rethought today. Why does Ash care so much about me? Not that I'm complaining, I love when guys are protective. And I think I love him.
Ash's POV
I was laying on my bed looking up at the ceiling.
I went to take my beanie off, but forgot I gave it to Dawn. Then smiled to myself remembering how cute she looked in it, even though it was too big.
I think she's making me fall in love with her without even trying…
