Ashton's bitter heart

Shout out to GhostsRmyfriends

"Stay away from her," Atticus said glaring at him

"Don't think because of your part of the main family! Doesn't mean you get to boss me around, bastard" Ashton said and pushed him back.

"HEY!" Aria shouted and pushed them both, "Stop it!"

"Aria…." Atticus mumble a bit surprised

"Ashton, please leave... I don't want any fighting" Aria said turning to face him, "We have to head to class anyway"

"Fine" Ashton mumbled and turned away, "Goodbye, Atticus Lockwood, future head of the main family!"

"Aria" Atticus mumble and touched her shoulder slightly, "You don't have to interfere with my family's matters"

"Atticus this feuding between the two of you…." Aria mumbled and back away slightly, "I can see Ashton has no intentions on settled thing between your family's side, but can't you convince your father to help?"

"My father won't help," Atticus said moving Aria to the side slightly, "If Ashton refuses to help towards a better future! Then I'll find another way to reunite the family once more"

"How?" she mumbles watching him head towards the door

"Something you don't need to know, Aria," he said and left the library. Aria sighed simply as she watched him leave, she looked back at her things and check the clock. She picked up her things and left the library as well, she didn't have a class on last period, so she headed home instead.

Fenton's home

"Mom….." Aria mumbled as she stood in the entrance of the home, she looked around the empty room and sighed. Aria looked down at her feet slightly as drop her bag, she looks in every room and eventually found her mother in the bedroom. "Mom" Aria said.

"Aria, you're back already?" Ember asked glancing at the clock, "Did you have a spare?"

"Yeah," she said and sat on her parents' bed

"Something wrong?" Ember asked placing down some jewelry

"Why are men confusing?" Aria asked as she flop on the bed

"Tell me about it… it took me months to kiss your father, let alone having him reveal his secret" Ember said remembering the first time she first lay eyes on him. "And one thing I was certain about, he was stubborn but in a caring way"

"Dad….. uh….. he's still stubborn," Aria said staring at the ceiling

"He's been stubborn from day one," Ember said as she lay down beside her, "Now what's wrong?"

"Did you know about the Lockwood feud? Or the main and side family?" she asked and turned her head to face her mother.

"Hm….. a little….. your father and I don't really middle with Lockwood affairs of try to avoide it" Ember explained and move some hair away from Aria's face.

"Well Atticus will be the next head of the family for the main branch, and technically Ashton is the one for the side" Aria explained.

"Yes, I'm aware of Ashton and the Lockwood family being parted in two," Ember said and nodded slightly, "Your father and I have been…. How should I say… brought into their fight on occasions"

"You mean when Glitter was after you? During prison?" she asked

"Yes and No, The Lockwood family apologies for Glitter's action when I was still pregnant with you….. it was the only time both sides of the family were in the same room. Your father and I had to settle a massive argument between them when the main family blame the side for Glitter, and of course, the side family didn't let that slide" Ember explained and sat up from the bed. "Now daughter, of mine! What bothers you so much about those Lockwood men?" she asked.

"It's just the fighting between them," Aria said sighing softly while she sat up as well, "I mean…. They're fighting because of their father's actions"

"They're not the only families who fight over something stupid, and pass down the hatred to their children," Ember said and hug her slightly, "This is how the world is…. people fight none stop, but that's why the few who are good to each other might change the world"

"Ugh….. men are so confusing" Aria groan and smiled at her mother

"Are you sure those two boys aren't fighting for you?" Ember teased and nudge her slightly

"No!" Aria said and moved away quickly, "It's pretty clear they're fighting over family issues, mom!"

"Maybe I should tell your father about this?" Ember teased knowing fully well how Danny will overreact.

"NO!" Aria shouted and covered her mother's mouth, "MOM! DON'T! GOSH DAD WOULD NEVER LET IT GO!"

Ember laugh as she removed Aria's hand from her mouth, she shook her head slightly and hug Aria in her arms.

"I'm just teasing, honey," Ember said kissing her cheek

"I'm glad I can talk about boys with you, mom," Aria said hugging her mother back, "Dad would probably murder someone"

"Most likely" Ember said sighing slightly

Sam and Christopher's home

Ashton slammed the door shut as he entered the upper middle-class home, he threw his stuff to the ground and walk towards his bedroom.

"Damn you Atticus….." Ashton mutter as he thinking about the main family, and how they destroy his life.

"Ashie!" Laura shouted running towards him and hugging him slightly. Ashton looked down at the young ten-year-old girl, her black hair was tied in two pigtails, her smile resembles the one of her father but physically her mother mostly. She jumps up and down and wanted to play with him, Ashton sighed as he stared at her and remembered Sam mention how Laura got some father's personality. But she was differently like her grandmother, kind, caring, and always wanted to please everyone.

"Not now, runt," Ashton said and gently flick her forehead with his fingers, "Get lost"

"Stop being mean to me, Ashie!" Laura shouted and pout slightly.

"Don't call me, Ashie!" Ashton snorted back at her, he hated this nickname she gave him but she couldn't say Ashton when she was younger and called him Ashie from then on.

"Why, Ashie?" Laura asked tilting her head slightly

"Because!" Ashton said walking up the stairs, he looked back at the child and smiled ever so slightly. He liked Laura, she was innocent and wasn't aware of the family's darks secrets. He loved his grandmother who Laura was named after, dearly she had help in the first weeks after his parent's death. He knew she continued to help him until she passed away and lost her support, Ashton cared about Christopher and Sam's daughter as well, he found her annoying and was rude to her, but he knew Laura didn't take it to heart.

"Bye, Ashie!" Laura shouted before she ran to the kitchen. Ashton rolled his eyes in annoyance, he went to his room and was still thinking about Aria. It was true she was considered a prize to be won by anyone, she was the daughter of Danny Phantom a legendary hero and Ember McLain, the number one singer of all time. But there was something else that attracted him to her, she was beautiful and kind. He could easily tell Aria wasn't a spoiled brat like the women in his family, all he knew was that she wanted her! And he wasn't going to let Atticus or the main family have her.

"Hey, Ashton," Sam said knocking on his door before she opened it, "It's takeout night is there anything you want?"

"Uh….." Ashton mumble glaring at his legal guardian, he didn't hate Sam or Christopher. They were the only ones in the entire Lockwood family, both side and main who was willing to take him in. But he knew the only reason they did was because of his grandmother, Laura who was the only one to act. His heart was split in half, he hated them but he liked them at the same time.

"Stop being nice to me….. You'll never replace my mother or grandmother Laura" Ashton thought with his back turned against her. Ashton pulled a photo from his pocket and stared at the photo of his parents, he sighed slightly placing the photo away.

"Order whatever you want…. But none of that vegetarian stuff" Ashton said and looked back at her slightly.

"Something wrong, Ashton?" Christopher asked walking past the bedroom door, before stopping when he notice Ashton's bitter tone.

"Just….. had a bad day," Ashton said glaring at them, "Can I be left alone?!"

"But-!" Sam said when Christopher stop her with his hand.

"Alright….. we'll call you for dinner," Christopher said motioning Sam to leave him alone.

Ashton took the photo out once more and stared at his parents, he heard the door close and suddenly remembered the door slamming open when his father walked in. Ashton closed his eyes as tears started to form, he went down on the ground as the memories of the night returned.

5 years ago – Vincent's home

"Mother….. where's father?" Ashton asked while he sat at the dining table with her, "Is he… at the bar again?"

"I don't know, sweetheart," Anna said sighing slightly as she stared at the empty plate, "Your father is… facing a difficult time… with the loss of his company from the main family"

"Why did the main family do such a thing?" Ashton asked staring down at his plate, "I thought they were family?"

"They're not," Anna said shaking her head slightly, "They're not family, Ashton….. don't you ever forget this"

Ashton nodded slightly at reach to take a piece of bread when he suddenly heard the door slam open, he quickly looked back and saw his father drunkenly walking in as he held a gun in his hand.

"Vincent! What are you doing?!" she asked quickly standing up and walking towards him, "You're drunk! Please stop going to the bars"

"Shut up!" Vincent shouted as he struck her in the face with his barrel

"FATHER!" Ashton shouted running towards his mother as she stays on the ground, "What are you doing?!"

"Ashton my boy," Vincent said walking towards his wife and son, "Step aside now!"

"Father! What are you doing?! Stop this!" Ashton shouted as he stood in front of his mother, "Mother's hurt!"

"Vincent! Please stop this!" Anna pleaded as she stops up and held her cheek. "I understand this take over has done... Terrible things for our family! But you can't solve this problem by drinking" she said and held Vincent's arm.

"SHUT UP! ANNA!" Vincent shouted striking her once more, "WE'RE IN DEBT BECAUSE OF THE MAIN FAMILY! WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THE HOUSE! YOU WANT TO LIVE IN THE STREETS BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS FUCKING FAMILY WANTS TO HELP US?!"

"Dad! STOP!" Ashton pleaded as he back away from his enraged father

"Honey! We'll get through this! Just wait and see-!" Ashton looked up at his mother when his eyes widen in horror, he heard a loud sound as his mother hit the ground with a bullet hole in her head.

"M…m…" Ashton looked back at his father as he walked towards him; Ashton shouted and quickly back away when he trips over his mother's body. He hit the ground and fell into a pool of her blood, Ashton quickly turned around and stared at his bloody hand.

"Ashton….. my son," Vincent said as he stumbles towards him, "Listen well to my last lesson"

"Dad….. what…. Are…. you… please... Stop this….." Ashton pleaded with tears falling down his cheeks, soak in his mother's blood and stared at his murderous father.

"All of this... All of our problems and misery is because of the main household!" Vincent said as stared at the gun in his hand, "The main household of the Lockwood family is nothing but rotten! It's cruel and a disgrace… the main family will ruin everything you hold dear….. and will take everything"

"Dad….. please….. don't do this…" Ashton mutter softly

"I'm sorry, son," Vincent said as tears fell down his cheek while he placed the gun at his head, "Take care….. change this family and its values….. end the main household"

"Dad... No…. please….. DON'T!" Ashton shouted when Vincent shot himself in the head; Vincent drops the gun before he fell to the ground. Ashton sat in the pool of his parents' blood as tears dripping down his face, he slowly moved his head and stared at his mother and father.

"Its... Its…. All their fault… it's their fault…" Ashton thought as he placed his blood soak hands on his head, "Mom… dad….."

"ITS ALL OF THEIR FAULT!" Ashton shouted gripping his hands into a fist, "THE MAIN HOUSEHOLD OF THE LOCKWOOD'S! ITS THEIR FAULT!"
