Serena's P.O.V

"Ash!" I let out weakly, stunned by my surroundings. The girl believed to be Ash's girlfriend is right on top of him.

I guess they really are dating, and I'm just interrupting them. ;-;
I guess we weren't just meant to be.

Tears now overwhelming me, I turned around and started to run off somewhere.

I was suddenly interrupted by a hand on my shoulder. It was Ash's.

He turned me around and placed both his hands on my shoulders.

"Serena, it wasn't what it looked like." He whispered to me.

"Ash please... Don't lie to me... You're just making things worse. I saw it with my own eyes." I stated.

He looked at me with a pure blank face. Did he just realize I caught him in his lie?

The pain from me now knowing he was making out with her and not only that, he tried to lie about it. I can't... I started to shed tears. Now would just be the best time to turn around and run. So I did as I thought.

Remember not fall down the stairs like I almost did going up. So I go down the stairs as swiftly and remotely I could.

Once I was down I remembered to start running again. So I did.

"Sere-" I can hear being interrupted from behind me. I can hear stumbling and dropping, but I decide not to look back. I don't want to look like I care, but I can't lie it was probably the hardest thing I've ever done.

Where should I go? Where do I turn what do I do next? Maybe hide behind these walls...?

As I thought about it I've decided to proceed with the plan. I just need somewhere to chill out and relax. Think this whole thing through. The future for me, what went good or bad in the present.

I have made it to the building, and have sat down behind the wall.

"Oh Ash" I sobbed quietly. "Just...why?"

Minutes have passed by and I'm just sitting here defenseless, feeling worthless, like nothing would ever pleasure me again. Ash. I kept on saying over and over in my head. I thought he could've been the one. I just wanted to get to know him.

"Oh Ash" I keep on saying to myself.

"Hey what are you doing here kid?" A voice startled me. It was that girl from earlier today. The one who bullied me in the cafeteria.

"Yo- you're a kid t-too" I gave out weakly. Like my day wasn't bad enough.

"What did you just call me!? Oh you're going to get it this time!" She scolded while trying to grab onto my arm. I instinctively slapped her and and jumped back.

"Owww, you little brat! You'll pay for that." She yelled aloud.

Now is the time to run. I have to act fast now. I turned and started to run. "HEYYY! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!!" She asserted.

"Away from you!" I said as I stuck my tongue out at her.

"Maybe you should go! I will be meeting up with Ash soon. Why do think he didn't come up to rescue you earlier? Because he is mine. Well he wants me to be his." She distinctively smirked as she gave her smart remark.

My heart began to ache at the words that have drifted out of her mouth. Could this be true? Was Ash this type of person? Is he this type of person?

I couldn't bare to feel the sudden hurt and aching throughout my body. As tears flow down my face, I couldn't help but feel helpless, unwanted, not needed, drenched, used. Is that all I was to him? A toy? Was he just going to use me to make me his pet? I start to run off. I don't want to see anything around me. Forget about all my surroundings. I should just worry about myself. I should just- . I was interrupted by a sudden force.

"Oww!" I abruptly let out.

"Are you alright, beautiful?" Was all I could hear.

No it couldn't be... Why him? It's Zach. Did he just call me... 'Beautiful?' That doesn't matter now.

"Serena, are you ok?" He asked. I suddenly wrapped my arms around him, not knowing why I have done it. "I have just been through quite a lot today" I answered, sniffing.

"Well it is ok, I'll be right by your side when you need me. And right now, it looks like you need me. So I'll be here for you." He asserted.

Wow, was he really going to be here for me? Does he really care about me? But... Did Ash? I just questioned myself over and over again. I couldn't believe he had done or maybe would have thought or plotted such a thing. It was just to hard.

I can feel Zach grip tighten around my waist, he's pulling me in closer. What? I guess it's just for more secureness. Do I feel safe? Is one question I continue to ask.

Maybe if it was Ash. I would I let him. I'm trying to forget about him. But it is just way to hard.

I can feel Zach chuckling as he places his chin on my shoulder. "What's so funny?" I asked. "Nothing, well at least you shouldn't care." He reassured me.

"It's ok Ashy-boy, it could mean nothing. It is just a simple hug. But he is awkwardly and firmly holding her. Great tips being taken from everyday." Chuckle right after could be heard not to far from behind me.
