“You’re going to cry?” sneered Glen. That’s your damn problem! You’re weak. You always have been and always will be. I’m ashamed of having you as a sister. Glen punched me in the stomach. He began hitting me repeatedly. Ashley ran towards Glen and pulled him off of me. Glen took out his anger on Ashley instead and tried to hit her. Ashley twisted Glen’s arm and Glen yelped in pain.

“You try to hurt her again and your arm isn’t all that I’ll break,” Ashley stated angrily. Is that understood? Glen nodded in understanding and Ashley released his arm. Let’s go, Spencer. Ashley took me by the hand and drove me to her apartment. She was cleaning up the cuts and bruises I had received from Glen.

“Thanks,” I said as I hugged her.

“It was no problem,” replied Ashley. I’ll do anything for you. I’m going to get something to drink. Would you like anything?

“No thanks, I’m good,” I stated.

No One’s P.O.V.

Ashley walked into the kitchen. “I hate him for hurting her, Ky,” Ashley stated angrily. Spencer didn’t deserve that.

“I know,” agreed Kyla.

“I want him to suffer as much as he made her suffer,” Ashley explained. A broken arm is nothing compared to…

“Ash, beating her brother up will drive a wedge between you and Spencer,” said Kyla. No matter what he did, he’s still going to be her family.

“What am I supposed to do?” Ashley asked. I don’t want him to get away with hurting my girl.

“Just be there for her,” answered Kyla. Spencer needs you right now.

“I love her,” Ashley admitted.

“I know,” observed Kyla.

Spencer’s P.O.V.

Ashley walked to the living room and sat next to me. “Hey,” I said. What happened to your drink?

“I wasn’t thirsty anymore,” replied Ashley.

“I know this may seem babyish, but could you hold me?” I asked.

“It’s not babyish and it’ll be my honor,” answered Ashley. Ashley wrapped her arms around me and held me. I never had felt that safe with anyone in my life. I’m sorry.

“For what?” I asked confused.

“It’s my fault you got hurt,” sighed Ashley. I… I wish I were there sooner to protect you, but I got held up in my last period class.

“It’s not your fault,” I said. You were there to protect me. The thing that matters is that I’m here with you. A smile formed on Ashley’s lips and I returned the smile.
