Ashley entered her room annoyed, "What the hell is wrong with Anna?" She questioned herself as she searched through her closest looking for something to wear as Jay was heading over to pick her up.
"Hey, you still haven't answered my question," Jake unexpectedly asked, startling Ashley, who quickly turned around, "When the hell did you get in here?"
Ashley arrived home after her little date with Jay. Today seemed a bit off and Ashley couldn’t seem to brush it off. Before she had exited Jay’s car, she asked him if he was free to have one of those late-night calls they used to have but he quickly said that he was busy tonight, but the way he said it made Ashley a bit suspicious but she left it alone and exited the car.
“Can you take me to the river?” She softly asked while looking into his eyes as they softened. “Sure, come on,” he said taking her hand before leading her to his car. The party was clearly over now as people began to flee. Anna ran outside as fast as she can to catch up with Ashley but it was too late.
Both Ashley and Jake pulled away from the kiss as they were running out of air. Staring into each other’s eyes as they pant, Jake suddenly smirked as Ashley raised one of her eyebrows. “You're a good kisser, Lil sis,” he said, before being slapped across the face with cold water. Ashley’s face turned sour after Jake’s remark causing him to chuckle before swimming back to the deck. “Come on, you’re shaking like a leaf, we should really head home,” he said, pulling himself out the water before helping her out.
"Ashley, Anna is here," her mom said as both Ashley and Jake looked at each other. Ashley's blood began to boil at the name of the girl, who betrayed her. Ashley really didn't want to see Anna's face right now, and the fact that her mom still allowed her in here, after Jake told her something happened between them really pisses her off."MOM, I-Before Ashley could finish her sentence, the knob on her door turned before opening revealing Anna, who looked 10 times as horrible as Ashley. Jake's eyes couldn't help but widen in amazement as he scanned her appearance. She looked like she cried the entire night, plus the hangover was already beginning to take an effect on her.The room was filled with silence, rather awkward silence as Anna stood there staring at anything but Ashley'd deadly glares. She was nervous, terrified, and depressed. All she wants is forgiveness, but judging by the death glare she was getting, forgiveness was the last thing on Ashl
Jake woke up with Ashley in his arms. His heart softened at the sight of Ashley in his arms, it felt almost natural as if she belonged in his arms. But then his face dropped as she snuggled into his chest. This is what he didn't want, for her to get too comfortable with him. He'd be damned if he hurt Ashley and although he wasn't good for her, he still found himself allowing her in. Ashley shifted herself out of Jake's arms as he slowly sat up. He ran his hands down his face before carefully lifting himself off the bed. As he was about to leave, something on Ashley's nightstand catch his attention. It was a picture frame of her and her father when she younger than now. She looked really happy in the photo and that brought a smile to Jake's face. He examined the photo not knowing that Ashley was wide awake, following his every move. "That was taken on my birthday," Ashley said startling Jake, who quickly turned around, "I'm sorry, it just caught my eyes,"
Everything happened so fast, all Ashley felt was a rush of cold air against her body as Jake threw the first blow causing Jay to stumble back. The diner went silent as Ashley stood there in shock. She looked at Jake, who stood there breathing heavily with his fists clenched at the side of him. She turned her head towards Jay, who didn't expect a thing as he gently touched his bruised bottom lip. Ashley immediately stood between the two men just in case anything happened.
The sun had taken over the night as Ashley woke up. A groan left her lips as she slowly sat up. Her head was pounding as she gently ran her hand through her semi damp hair. Memories of last night ran through her head as her headache got slightly worst. "Ugh! Stupid idiot," she mumbled while getting out of bed. She felt weak but she brushed it off before heading towards the bathroom. After a while, Ashley came out dressed in her morning run outfit, although she felt like crap, she wasn't going to stay in this house with Jake, her mother, and Roger after what happened last night.Ashley carefully walked down the stairs with her hand firmly gripping the railing. She had a slight wobble in her step as her vision was a bit blur, she felt like someone was continuously beating her in the head.Her mother came out to call her for breakfast but immediately stopped in her tracks as she watched her zombie-like daughter weakly coming down the stairs, looking like she could f
Ashley woke up as a groan ripped from her throat. Her vision was a blur as she squinted her eyes. "Omg, honey, are you okay?" A faint voice asked as Ashley tried to sit up but a pair of hands gently pushed her shoulders back. "Oh, no, Ash, lay back, my love, " said the voice as Ashley recognize it to be her mother's, "Mom, what happened?" She weakly asked as her vision became clear as she looked at her extremely worried mother "Honey, you passed out, your body was too weak to function on its own so it shut down, it's a good thing Anna was with you, " she said as Ashley furrowed, "Anna?" She asked as her mother nodded, "Yes, Anna was there when you collapse, you don't remember?" She asked as Ashley touched her head."My head is pounding unbearably, " she replied as her mother nodded, "Yeah, that makes sense since I remembered you coming home last night soaking wet, you probably have the flu, " she said caressing Ashley's head as she closed her eyes trying t
