Ashley, her mom, and Roger were on their way to the hospital. Neither of them said a word and the tense around them was thick and suffocating. Ashley was still silently crying in the back as she could only imagine what Jay’s brother could’ve possibly done for Jake to end up in the hospital. She knew this would’ve happened, but no one listened to her.
Katie slightly turned to check on her daughter. She was still very worried ab
As Ashley opened the door, the sight before her made her already weak body weaker. She couldn’t believe the sight in front of her. This wasn’t Jake, she had no idea who this person was, but when he whispered to her, reality smacked her right in the face, “J-Jake!” She weakly stuttered before everything went dark. Ashley’s body hit the floor with a loud thud noting both Roger and Katie’s attention as they rushed to the sound.
Ashely woke up in a different environment and surprisingly her head was skyrocketing, which was good since she got sick. The continuous beeping sound began to annoy Ashley as she tried to reach for her alarm clock but felt nothing but air, Ashley furrowed as she felt nothing before the sound of a high pitched chuckle caught her attention. Ashley slowly opened her eyes as her eyelids squinted trying to adjust to the bright light before fully op
Ashley was in complete horror as she watched Jay place the roses in the vase that was on the available table, "What are you doing here, Jay?" She asked as normal as possible but when Jay turned around with a furrow on his face, her heart skipped a beat, "Tatiana told me that she saw you in the hospital when she came to visit Jake, so I came to visit you," he said mentioning Jake's name with such ease, which angered Ashley."Okay, but Jay, how did you get in here?" She asked watching him circle her bed, "Oh, that was simple," he said as Ashley rolled her eyes, "Let me guess, you came as my boyfriend?" She asked as Jay smiled, "Bingo, princess!" he exclaimed as Ashley furrows, "Why did you lie, Jay?" She asked as Jay furrowed, "I didn't lie, sweetheart, I am your boyfriend," he said as Ashley slowly sat up getting a creepy vibe from Jay, "You're not, Jay, and you never were," she said as Jay's face suddenly went blank scaring the hell out of her, "I could've been, if it wasn't
Ever since the encounter with Jay, Ashley has been really distant. Jake has noticed it and so did Ashley's mother. Katie tried to find out what had happened to Ashely, but her daughter didn't budge and only replied with, "It was nothing, I just had a nightmare that left me paranoid."Katie had left Ashley's situation alone as she realized how uncomfortable Ashley was about the situation. Jake had studied Ashley's attitude as she moved into his room and Ashley never acted this way.Both Ashley and Jake were currently chilling in their room. The room was silent with the only thing being heard was the heart monitor recording their heartbeats. Ashley stared out of the window with a blank expression as Jake stared up at the ceiling. The silence was killing him as he craved for the sound of Ashley's voice.He didn't understand why she was so distant especially in his presence, it bothered him. Jake sighed heavily breaking Ashley out of her trance but she still d
Ashley had finally been discharged from the hospital and Jake was let off as well as he refused to be separated from Ashley. Ashley didn't feel safe at all when Jake was not by her side, so she was relieved that Jake got to come home with her. Katie and Roger were ecstatic that their children were feeling going home.They were currently on their way home.
After Anna left Ashley began to panic. She was scared for her life and although she didn't like Tatiana, that girl was crazy and could do almost anything. Ashley didn't know what to do, she kept pacing around in her room before she thought about Jake, but then she remembered what she heard Jake said in the kitchen. She sighed before plopping down on the bed, she furrows, "I can't believe he's leaving," she mumbled to herself as she felt her heartache. She was afraid that Jake would leave and not know about her feelings but she was even more scared about telling him how she feels. She wonders, "What if he doesn't feel the same way?" or "What if he finally accepts the fact that he's kind of like a step-brother." Those types of saying pushed over the confidence she was building up. But her feelings didn't matter at the moment because Jay and Tatiana were currently writing their death wish and Ashley had to warn Jake. Ashley made up her mind before exiting he
Today is the day that Katie and Roger were leaving for Hawaii. Ashley didn't really like the idea of her mom leaving her especially when things were about to get messy but she wanted her mom to be happy and if that's being with Roger then she has to accept it. "I'm going to really miss you, Ash, honey," Katie said hugging Ashley as tight as she can, "I'll miss you too, mom, but I can't breathe," she said as Katie immediately let her go with a sheepish smile on her face, "Sorry, honey," she apologized before turning to Jake, who rubbed behind his neck nervously, "I guess this goodbye, Jake because when I return you'll be getting ready to leave," she said as Jake nodded with a small smile on his face, "I guess," he said as Katie chuckled before pulling him into a hug. Roger smiled as he watched his son and wife interact until he glances at Ashley, who stared back at him before she walked towards him, "Uh, have a safe flight," she said awkwardly as Roger chuckled before
Ashley was a bit shaken up as Tatiana ended to call. She placed her phone down on the countertop before walking towards the sink as she splashed water on her face. Jake walked into the kitchen wondering what taking Ashley so long, only to be stopped in his tracks as he saw Ashley leaned up against the sink breathing heavily.Jake immediately began to get worried as he rushed towards her, "Ashley, hey what's wrong?" He asked turning her body around to lock eyes with her teary ones. He began to panic as he thought of the worst possible thing, "Ashley, you really need to tell me what's going on?" He asked again as Ashley broke down causing Jake to pull her into his arms, "I'm so tired of this, Jake, I want it to stop," she cried as Jake furrowed, "What do you mean, Ash?" He asked stroking her hair as she continued, "The threats, the constant worry about what's going to happen, and the bad blood," she sobbed as Jake sighed, "Who was on the phone, Ashley?" He asked as Ashley whisp

The monitor continued to record the movement of her heart as her breathing was calm and steady. The doctor continued to examine his patient before a small smile rose onto his lips, “You’re a strong girl, Ashley,” he mumbled before exiting the room.The doctor was at ease as he didn’t have to break another families’ heart about thei
The lighter slipped out of Tatiana's hand as it hit the wooden floor. Ashley gasped as she jumped backward staring at the fire in pure horror while Tatiana laughed, “You crazy, b*tch, what have you done!” Ashley yelled but Tatiana continued to laugh, “Ashley!” She heard Jake yelling her name from outside as she turned around coughing, “Jake, help me!” She yelled as Jake began to panic, “Can you get out?” He asked as Ashley shook her head with tears rolling down her cheek, “No, the fire is spreading too quickly,” she said as Jake cursed out loud.
A scream left Ashley's mouth as she faced her worst nightmare. There stood Tatiana with a smirk on her face, “I’ve waited such a long time to do this, and let me tell you it feels good,” she said taking a step forward as Ashley moved back, “You know we could’ve been really good friends if you had stayed in your lane,” she said as she continued to walk towards Ashley, who stepped back every time in fear.
Both Ashley and Jake laid breathlessly in bed as their bodies were drenched in sweat. A breathy chuckled left Jake's mouth as he turned towards Ashley, who stared up at the ceiling still trying to catch her breath, "That was awesome," Jake said as Ashley nodded, "If I knew sex with you was that good, I would have finished what I started at home in your bedroom," she said as Jake smirked before pecking her exposed shoulder, "How about a round two?" He asked as Ashley gave him a look that made him burst into laughter, "What's with that face, baby girl?" He asked, still cracking up like an idiot as Ashley sat up with the covers covering her naked chest, "Boy, I can't feel my legs, besi
It's been a few days since Ashley and Jake have been staying at Anna's and to be honest, it was the best decision they have made so far. Ashley got back her best friend, she and Jake got even closer and she was finally introduced to Anna's special friend Tucker, who seemed really cool.Signs of Jay and Tatiana were still unknown as the police continued to search
Jake heard Ashley's scream as he dashed out of the bathroom, but not forgetting to grab him a towel. He carefully rushed downstairs shouting Ashley's name before entering the living room to find a busted window, a brick on the living room table, and a shaking Ashley in the corner of the room sobbing.He rushes to her side immediately pulling her into his arms as she quickly clenched onto him, "Baby, what happened?" He asked gently rocking her body, "T-They lied to us, " she cried as Jake furrowed, "Who did, baby?" He asked as Ashley pulled away, "The police, they said they would find them, " she said as Jake signed, "I don't want to stay here, Jake, " she said as more tears rolled down her cheeks as Jake wipe them away."Alright, wait here for me to come back, " he said as Ashley began to panic, "No, please don't leave me, " she pleaded as Jake smiled weakly, "Alright, baby, I got you, " he said before lifting her and they both went up to
Jake furrowed as he saw the terror written on Ashley's face. He quickly snatched the phone out of her hand as tears slowly filled her eyes, her hand slowly cupped her opened mouth as a soft sob muffled against her palm. Jake stared blankly at the picture as he lifelessly sat back against the bench-chair. "Is this t-"That was what I was looking for this morning, he was in the house, Jake, this is getting out of hand, we need to go to the police," Ashley cried as Jake placed down her phone on the table before running his hands over his face, "Ashley-"No, Jake, we're going to the police or I'm not going to that house," she sternly said as Jake sighed, "Alright, we'll go to the police," he said as Ashley nodded while wiping her tears as Jake reached for her shaking hand that stopped shaking as soon as he held onto it, "Don't worry everything is going to be sorted out," he said as she nodded gripping onto his hand._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Tatiana stormed into her
