"Ashton...you need to tell me why you're here still. You never finished yesterday."
He groaned.
"Fine. But don't get mad."
"I won't."
"Okay. Here goes."
"When I was on my way to Australia..the plane did crash. But we all survived. We were just tired of the fame and wanted to take a break. You know? Hang with our families and not be famous for a day."
I scoffed.
"A day? You went away for 3 years, Ashton! You didn't call or text! I had depression for a whole year cause of you!"
He looked up at me with guilt in his eyes.
"Please tell me you didn't do anything stupid."
"Maybe I did...maybe I didn't."
"Skylar! Did you or did you not harm yourself in anyway!?"
It was quiet.
"Answer me!"
"Yes. I did."
"Oh my God..why would you ever think of that!?"
"Because I was scared! Okay!? I was scared of not being able to support my sister and her being taken away from me forever!"
He hugged me tightly.
"If you ever harm yourself again, I will be upset. And I know you hate seeing me upset."
"Please never leave again..please."
There were tears forming in my eyes now.
"I won't. I'm not leaving you."
He hugged me tighter.
