Ashley’s pov
I was so lost in thought. They have to be a way to prove Josh’s innocence. There is no doubt that the person in picture wasn’t Josh which means Evans had edit the picture.
There is only two ways out of this mess; I find the person who edited the picture, because it may be Evans who edited the picture himself but of course there is a second opinion, i find the other guy who was bullied in the picture.
Yeah, it’s going to be very difficult but those were the only two ways out.
I sighed as i ran my fingers throu-ghmy already messy hair. But Evans will stop at nothing until i break up with Josh.
Yeah, that reminds me, have Josh seen these post yet? How is he taking it? There is only one to find out.
I got out of my bed and walked over to the door, i took in a de-ep breath before opening the door and walking out of my room to Josh’s room.
I knocked but there was no answer. I knocked again, the same thing. I took in a de-ep breath and creaked the door open and walked into the dark and cool room. This was one reason why i love black, it is so damn cool.
Focus Ashley! Focus! This isn’t the time to drool on a paint.
Josh was no where to be seen in his room. Where was he?
“Josh?” I called softly, still no answer.
I sighed and turned to leave when u heard a loud ban-ging from the bathroom. Wait, what was that? I moved closer to the bathroom. The ban-ging was getting more louder and a groa-n followed the loud ban-ging.
I close my eyes for a while and calm my nerves before opening the bathroom door.
Oh my God, there was Josh throwing punches on the mirror with his fist. Blood was gushing out of his fist but he kept punching not caring about the pain it inflicted on him.
This guy am seeing right now was a total different person from the loving, teasing and annoying boyfriend i once knew.
“Josh…” I called softly but he didn’t answer. I was a bit scared. I mean, he might punch me if get any closer to him but i gathered up enough courage and walk over to him and wrapped my hands around his wa-ist and rested my head on his back, due to the fact that he back was against me.
“Josh, calm down. Please. You are hurting yourself.”
He slowly calm down as he stopped punching the mirror but he had already caused some damage on his right fist and on the mirror, which was now shattered to pieces from the abuse.
“w..wh…why me?” He sigh. “why do people keep turning their backs on me? Why?”
”you still have me, Josh. I’m still here.”
He slowly pulled my hand away from his wa-ist and turned to face him. “you might also turn your back against me one day.” He sounded so sure. Why will he even think that?
“Josh…” I walked into his arms again. I wrapped my arms around his wa-ist and rested my head on his ch-est but he didn’t hug me back.
“you don’t have to pity me, i am use to people leaving. Just go if you want, i promise not to hold any grudges.”
Is he kidding me right now? I pulled away and slapped him on his ch-est.
”Ow!” He winced as he rubbed the place where i just hit. “Princess, that hurts.”
“you caused it. I told you am not going to leave, so stop asking me to leave or you will regret it when i do.” I spat.
Are you sure? Don’t forget the only way Josh could get out of this mess is if you break up with him. You can’t be with him until you look for enough evidence against Evans. And even if you want to tell the Js, Evans will do something stupid. He might hurt someone you love so much, Ashley. You need to break up with Josh. Look at what he is pa-ssing throu-ghbecause of you, don’t be the greedy and selfish girl, Evans and Summer once called you. A voice in my head said.
“you believe me over the picture?” Josh asked wide eyes.
I shove that thought out of my head and smiled. “yes, Josh. Yeah, you might be crazy, annoying, a di-ckhead,_”
”i am not a di-ckhead.”
I chuckled. “yes, you are. But you are definitely not a bully.” I said and he chuckled as he dropped a soft ki-ss on my li-ps.
“promise me you wouldn’t leave me like the rest.”
That was a huge promise that i wasn’t so sure i was going to fulfil. I just grinned and nodded my head without saying the word promise.
“come here.” He said. I walked into his arms for the third time today and that was when he winced
“ar..are you okay?”
“ye…yes.” He breath out.
”but_” Of course! The injury! Why will i forget that.
I pulled out of the hug and took his arms in mine and examined the injury closely.
”fu-ck! Why will you do something like this, Josh!” I scolded. He just shrugged looking down at me. ”doesn’t it hurt?”
“a little?”
I rolled my eyes as i dragged him out of the bathroom to the bedroom and sat him down on the bed and started looking for the first aid kit.
“just check the kitchen cabinet.” He said.
“you should have said that before, Jacka-ss.”
After some minutes, i returned back to his room with the first aid kit and help him dress his wound. He will only just winced a little and then smirk.
If i were the one, i would have being crying by now.
I slowly bandage the wound and put the first aid kit away after i was done.
“you shouldn’t have done this.”
“i was afraid.” He replied.
“afraid of what?”
“of you leaving me. I thought you would walk out of my life when you see the news. I was scared. I can’t afford to lose you,” He held my hand and raised it to his li-ps and dropped a ki-ss on my knuckles. “Please, with whatever happens, don’t leave me. I will do everything within my power to clear my name, all you just need to do is to believe me and never leave my side, okay?”
I felt my eyes sting, i was at the verge of crying. I might break up with him. That was the only way out or he was going to get hurt again when the news of what happened between him and Joshua comes out to the open.
I can’t sit still and watch him get hurt again because of me but i also don’t want to leave his side as well.
“Hmm. But hey, promise you wouldn’t hurt yourself no matter what happens in the future. Promise you would move on like nothing ever happened and live your life to the fullest. Promise me.” He didn’t as he kept staring at me awkwardly. “promise me, Josh. Please.”
“okay? I promise.”
I smiled as i raised his hands to my li-ps and dropped a warm ki-ss on his knuckles as well. “hey, whatever happens, don’t hate me too much, okay? Just know i did it for the best.”
“why are you saying all these? Are you planning on leaving me?”
I really don’t know why i was saying all of this but i felt this was the right time to say all these just in case of the future.
“I’m not going anywhere. I’m always here with you.”
He chuckled. “yeah.”
I look at his wound. “want me to ki-ss the pain away?” I asked with a raised brow staring at his injured knuckles.
“please do.”
I smiled as i started dropping ki-sses on the knuckles while he was just laughing staring at me as i ki-ss the pain away.

I was just coming out of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around my ch-est.
My phone started ringing, i picked it and stare at the ID caller, it was an unknown number. I answered the call.
“yes?”
“hello, love.” I flinched as i heard his cold voice from the other line.
”what do you want again? Haven’t you done enough already? Please stop hurting Josh, i beg of you.”
“I haven’t even started anything yet and you are already begging for my mercy. Break up with Josh or i will release a news stating that your dear boyfriend is a rapist and then…i will post the news of what happened between him, Joshua and Summer. It’s your choice, love. Break up with him and be mine again or watch how i will turn your boyfriend’s career to pieces.” I could hear the smirk on his face. “and mind you, this is between us or i will hurt your brother, Jeremy. I know the school he attends, love.” With that he hung the call up.
No, I can’t let him hurt my brother or hurt Josh again. And with that in mind and came to a conclusion. A conclusion that i might regret but was for the best.TBC.
A/N: What conclusion do u think she has in mind? Do u think it’s going to be for the best? Comment.
