View More~Ashton~Elena had been quiet ever since she came back from her doctors appointment.She had barley said two words and it was making me eery, thinking that something was wrong and she wasn't telling me.She was poking her fork in her past, not eating. My patience was running thin, I had let her be for the entire day thinking she would tell me eventually.”Talk.” I demanded and glared at her form the opposite side of the table.Whatever it was I couldn't help her unless I knew the problem. If someone had been mean to her, I'd kill them. If someone had hurt her, well, I'd kill them. If anything was medically wrong, I'd kill the doctor for telling me.Elena looked up in a haze and shook her head with a forced smile.
Five days later~Elena~I had been discharged form the hospital earlier than expected. Everything looked great and my vitals were above the ordinary.Ashton had been by my side the entire time, which Lisa had said was adorable and in-suffering at the same time.We were driving back to Ashtons house, Lisa, clint and Pazzi were all there.As we drove on the main road, I felt Ashtons hand on my thigh and smiled as I looked at him.”This is were our lives begin,” I said.”No, this is us continuing were we left of.””You were always my life, Elena,” the butterflies in stomach stirred to
Lisa had some hidden talents. She wired the car so that it started and I looked at her in confusion.”The man my mom was married too would always have me help him steal cars. I was underaged then so I couldn't get any real punishment,””No, don't look at me like that. Came in handy didn't it?” She said and glanced at the car.I smiled softly and nodded my head. Taking a deep breath I got in behind the wheel and closed the door. I looked over to the passenger seat and saw Lisa stepping in.”Oh no, you’re not coming,” she scoffed and fastened her seatbelt.”Just drive,””Lisa,” I warned.”Elena, you’re my bestfriend. My only friend. If you think I'm letting you go to that psychotic bitch on your own, not knowing wha
I woke up, for the first time in a long time, feeling rested and happy. I woke up to the feeling of wanting to open my eyes and start the day. Something I hadn't felt in a very long time.I rolled over and patted the side where Ashton had fallen aslepp beside me. Only to find it empty.My eyes darted open and I sat up quickly, looking aorund. Hoping it hadn't all been a dream.I was in the room, in the cabin. That much was true.But where was Ashton?I got up form the bed and strolled over to the closet. My robe hung on the hook beside it and I wrapped it around me.I walked over to the door but just as I was about lay my hand on the handle, someone else opened it.
Clint had brought me and Lisa to a house in the middle of nowhere. Something told me that I should've had better second guessingtechniques regarding people after what happened with Thomas.But now we where here and there was no time to second guess anything”This is so cute!” Lisa shrieked as she ran out of the car.At least I had her with me to lighten the mood.I couldn't but agree with her, this house was adorable in a fairytale way. It was a wooden house with a small tower-looking part in the middle. There were four windows and a porch.Outside was a big patch of land, with chairs set up around a camp fire pit.It felt like home in a way.It had a homey feeling that I had missed immensely.&
We were sitting in the living room. Me and Lisa on one couch and Clint on the other. He still hadn't spoken and the silence grew heavier as the moments passed. He was watching me, searching my face, his eyes held many unspoken questions that I wanted to hear.I had heard his surname before, I was sure of it. But no matter how hard I tried remembering from where, I had nothing. I couldn't put my finger on it. And now here he was, in our living room.He must know Ashton pretty well considering they were seen outside together, but in my time with Ashton, I hadn't seen Clint.Lisa stirred beside me, unable to meet clits gaze. She looked really unconfortable and held her coffee cup close to her chest.”To what do we owe
I walked out onto the serving floor again after what had just happened. People were eating, drinking, talking as if a man wasn't nearly killed in the back. Of course, they didn't know but I did.Ashton was back at the table, probably getting a scolding from Katia. But his eyes were glued me the rest of the evening.I could feel his stare burn into my from every angle, wherever I was.I was going to pay for this, I could sense it.Katia was laughing, talking to Clint, but she seemed eery about something. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat and I wondered what it was that had her so squeamish. I knew that if she said the wrong thing, Ashton would explode. He doesn't take crap from anyone, especially when it came to me.The dilemma however, was that he was doing everything he was doing in order to save me, to pro
I had delivered orders to another four tables and was on my way to the bar to collect their drinks. It was unfathomable how much these rich people drank on a Monday. It wasn't even three a clock yet and they were already calling for refills.Another thing I couldn't fathom, was the lozzy tips we got. They were loaded yet three out of four people tipped less than 5%.Making a decent income in this line of work was not easy, but what other choice did I have?”Excuse me Ms, am I going to have to wait all day?” A business man sitting with either his wife or his msittress and another couple, shouted from across the room.I clenched my jaw and through my hand up waving appologetically while forcing a smile on.I had grabbed his martini and two glasses of wine and was making may way to their table.
I had told her everything.Evry. Damn. Thing.Things and happenings that I thought I would bring to the grave. Lisa was crying, holding her knees to her chest and hadn't spoken a word in thirty minutes. Ever since I started telling her, she had been silent, but now, it was starting to freaking me out.I was broken, I should've known a person wouldn't want to be with me through all of this.I can't ask her too either.I can't be so selfish as to ask her to stay with me through my rollercoasting life through hell.Lisa jumped up from the couch and launched herself at me, engulfing me in a big, tight hug.She barried her face in the crook of my neck and continued crying.
”Ms. Shaw, Mr. Carlson will see you now.”The tall-legged secretary of Mr.Carlson said. I stared at her for a moment, unable to speak or move. This is the moment I have been waiting for all my life. This is the moment that I have passed up so many other moments for. The parties and outings were memories were made, switched for late nights of studying. The road trips I passed on, only so that I could perfect my essays.All for this moment. All for the internship at Carlson enterprise. I watched as her smile fell a bit when she realized that I wasn't moving. All the other people in the waiting room, watching in frustration as I was stuck in my seat.”Ms.Shaw?” She repeated.”Coming,” I said quickly and rose to my feet. I tried my
