Chapter Sixty Two

                                    

                                          
I was still sitting on the floor with Ashton. I knew that he was just as devastated as I was about by the whole event. 
                          
"Laura." he said quietly. 
                          
"Yeah." I whispered. 
                          
"Who was it?" he whispered softly. 
                          
I sighed and snuggled closer to him. I nuzzled my head against his collarbone and closed my eyes. 
                          
"Laura." he pressed. 
                          
"I'm going to bed." I said as I stood up and climbed into bed. He followed me and gently pulled me into his arms. I rested my head against his chest and sighed. It felt so good to be in his arms again, to be able to smell his familiar scent. 
                          
"I need to know who did that to you baby." he whispered. 
                          
"It doesn't matter." I muttered against his chest. 
                          
"Is it someone I know?" he asked me. 
                          
I ignored him, which he took as a yes.
                          
"Please baby, I have to know." he questioned. 
                          
"Why?" I asked. 
                          
"I dunno, I just need to know." he answered. 
                          
"I can't, Ash, I'm sorry." I whispered. 
                          
He sighed and held me tightly as I gradually drifted off to sleep. 
                          
I screamed as I sat up with a start. I'd had another nightmare again.
                          
Ashton sat up and wrapped his arms around my chest and gently kissed my neck. 
                          
"Does Luke know who it was?" he asked. 
                          
"What?" I enquired. 
                          
"You were saying Luke." he told me. 
                          
I sighed. 
                          
He randomly let go of me, climbed out of bed and pulled on a shirt. 
                          
"Where are you going?" I cried. 
                          
"To see Luke." he answered. 
                          
"What for?" I asked. 
                          
"I have to know who hurt you, and you won't tell me. So I'll ask Luke." he stated quietly. 
                          
"Can't you just leave it alone!" I exclaimed. 
                          
"No I can't, if someone hurt me wouldn't you want to know who it was?" he asked me sadly. 
                          
"I guess." I sighed. 
                          
He nodded and began walking towards the door. 
                          
"Ashton wait!" I called after him. 
                          
He stopped and slowly turned to face me. He raised an eyebrow and waited for me to continue. 
                          
"It was Dale." I whispered.
