Chapter 1 = Morning Pains

I woke up in his strong, warm arms. My head was on his chest, and I felt him sigh lightly in sleep, a smile graced my lips.

I pulled away from him slightly, knowing I would have to get up in about 10 minutes anyways. I didn't know it at the time, but it turned out that his reaction of me pulling away from him, was to pull me back with all of his unconscious might.

As a result, my head smacked against his chest, and somehow, it hurt. My head felt like it did that one time when I was little and I had fallen off the couch and hit my head on the coffee table.

"Ow." I moaned as I pressed my hand against the forming bump on my head.

Where my head hitting his chest didn't wake him up, somehow my soft moan of pain did. Ash's eyes flew open and he lifted his head slightly to look at me, eyebrows furrowed in concern.

"Mare, are you okay?"

I gave another moan," Your chest is really hard."

He chuckled, causing his chest to go up and down, my head still on top of it. His vibrations made me feel like I had my head against a moving car window. And just like when said car hits a bump, I felt my head go up and slam into his chest again. I let out a whimper this time and held my throbbing head in both hands.

This made Ash stop laughing. He sat up slowly in my bed, and cradled me gently in his arms. He bent his head over to look at me.

"You okay?" He asked gently.

I shook my head no, with had to look pretty funny considering I was still holding it in my hands. I buried my face in his chest and we both sat there for a while as the pain in my head subsided.

Eventually it went away, and I reluctantly made Ash go home so I could get ready for school. Instead of groaning like usual, he just kept smiling like he knew something I didn't. It bugged me for a while, even after he left, but I soon pushed it out of my mind and got ready to return for the day to my life without Ash.
