"Wait, so you spilled coffee on your professor, the first day of class?" Gage asks with a chuckle and I nod my head.
"It was my first day of college and I was so nervous, I didn't realize my shoe was untied. I walked into class and tripped on my shoelace," I say and shake my head at the memory.

"Fuck!" I groan as my body makes contact with my floor."Shit, sorry!" Ashlynn apologizes, peaking her head over the edge of the bed. "I didn't mean to push you off.""That's not the best way to wake someone up you know," I say. "A kiss would've sufficed."

==========================="I have things I need to do! It's not about you, it never is!" My father yells at me after slapping me across the face.

Gage's POV:Ashlynn slept for the rest of the day and I couldn't leave her side. The adoption agency called and we scheduled a house visit for Thursday. I let Alex know so he could handle the details. I didn't want to leave Ashlynn alone. I still feel extremely guilty. I know I shouldn't have yelled at her the way I did. I've always been awful about controlling my anger, and I definitely shouldn't have taken it out on Ashlynn. She just came in to talk like she told me she was going to. My work has been pu

The home visit went smoothly. The only worries brought up was the fact that the apartment was located in a busier part of the city. I did my best to assure them that the building had the best security and that I wouldn't let Lily out of my sight. All in all, I passed. Ashlynn has been by my side the past couple of weeks. It's almost mid August now, and I'm going to be having my first meeting with Lily soon. Ashlynn finally gave in on her no touching her without her permission rule after almost two weeks. It was hell, but I know it was nothing like I had put her through. I'm just grateful she was able to forgive me. God knows what my temper would've turned into if she didn't. I have done everything to make sure Ashlynn is happy and that she isn't reminded of anything that'll trigger her past. "Gage, the adoption agency is on the phone," Ashlynn says as she removes my office phone from her ear. She's been actually acting like a secretary while she heals. I

"Ashlynn! Thank the lord you're here!" Jenna cheers when Ashlynn comes back into my office. "I love my brother, but god he does not understand women and their emotions." "Come here," Ashlynn says, noticing the tear stained face of my sister. Jenna jumps off the couch and runs to hug Ashlynn. "I guess I mean nothing now," I say as I stand up. Ashlynn just gives me a playful glare as she hugs my sister. "Is everything alright Jenna?" Ashlynn asks. "Everything is falling apart," Jenna says and slowly pulls back from the hug. "I'm scared Ashlynn." "Why are you scared?" Ashlynn asks Jenna. Jenna looks at me and I give her a nod in hopes to boost her confidence. "I'm pregnant," Jenna says shyly. "I'm terrified. I don't know what to do." "Well first you just need to relax and clear your mind. You don't want to make rash decisions that could effect you in the future," Ashlynn says. "So, just ta

Ashlynn's POV: "You little bitch!" Kylie yells as she throws a towel at me. I just give her a confused look as I fix my hair. "What the hell?" I ask as she stomps over to me."Why am I hearing from Jill that your birthday is next week, next week!" Kylie exclaims, smacking my arm. "We need to plan a party. We also have to get permission from Mr. Cutler but I'm sure he won't mind." "I have to go with Gage somewhere on my birthday," I tell her and she pouts. "I'll try to get him to come back early. We can go to a club or something.""Yes! We need to pick out outfits," She smiles. "Oh and shoes, you can't forget about the shoes!" "We won't forget the shoes," I giggle and throw her towel back at her. "Also, you can invite Elliott. I'm sure Gage will demand to come." "Can't say no to the boss?" She teases and my cheeks flush as I think back to the night at the club when I told
