Rose's POV

"Well... I was wondering if you wanted to be my secret girlfriend." Ashton asked me.

Secret girlfriend. I froze. I wanted this but I didn't. Why now?

"Ashton... I don't know. I could get expelled." I said trying to reason and I bit my lip.

"I know... But I just need you." He said looking into my eyes. I looked back into his.

I needed him too.

"Let's just wait, okay? Right now I'm just stressed and I can't handle this. Don't label me as your girlfriend. I want to be treated like your girlfriend though..." I said slowly looking into his eyes, choosing my words carefully.

"I understand, Rose, and I would be fired. But I want to be with you so badly." He begged.

"I just can't. Okay? I have to go now because my class-" I was soon cut off.

"Shh," he put his finger up against my lips, "you said you can't... But do you want to?"

I looked down at the floor, feeling his eyes on me as he waited for my answer.

"Yes I want to," I looked into his eyes, "but I can't. Not now, okay?" I said and sighed.

"Yes ok I understand. I guess you better get to class." He said, I could hear the pain in his voice. I nodded silently and left, why did I just let the person I love go? I'm such a idiot. I walked out of the gym and went in the gym hallway, sitting on the floor and silently cried. This was so confusing. And it's only my second day.

Ashton's POV

She said no of course. I understood that she could get expelled but I knew she felt the same way I did. Also I let her just walk away. This girl is making me crazy.

I went down and sat at my desk looking straight ahead. God dammit. Then I heard footsteps in the gym. No one has gym first hour... Who's in the gym?

I went out of my office to see no one. I heard something in the gym hallway and furrowed my eyebrows. What? Then I went into the hall to see, Rose, crying on the floor against the wall.

"Rose..?" I asked quietly as I walked over to her.

She looked at me then looked away as she tried to fix her makeup and not look like a mess. But I thought she looked beautiful even with messed up makeup, just when she's sad I hate seeing a angel sad. Then I sat next to her and wrapped my arm around her to comfort her.

"What's wrong?" I asked soothingly as I rubbed her shoulder.

"I'm just so stressed and I love you, Ashton. I love you. But I can't because it hurts me." She cried more and then I noticed she didn't have her jacket on. I looked at her arms. Self-harm... I can't believe it.

Wait she loved me?

"You love me?" I asked looking at her.

"Yes of course I do." She said silently and sniffled slightly.

"I love you too." I said looking straight into her eyes. Our eyes stayed locked and then she looked away. Silence. Only silence now and her quiet sniffling.

But then I took her arm carefully and made it so I could see her scars.

"Why?" I asked trying not to put the pain in my voice. She was shaking.

"Why what?" She said softly and looked at her arm but I saw more tears run down her cheek.

"Why are there scars on your beautiful arm?" I said still looking down at her arm. Then I started to tear up. No be tough Ash. Do not cry.

Silence.

"Because I don't feel important." She said shrugging and she started to cry again.

"You are important. Stop self-harm. No one wants to see you hurt." I said making her look into my eyes.

She shrugged and nodded.

"I love you Rose Tyler." I whispered in her ear and leaned back on the wall.

These last two days have been eventful.
