''John, phone!'' I heard Mimi scream for the 2nd time. ''Calm down, Mimi! Don't get yer bloody knickers in a twist'' I retorted. I rushed down the stairs tripping a few times hoping it was my beautiful Ashley. I grabbed the phone and said ''Hello?'' Surely enough it was her, it almost sounded as if she was crying. She asked me to go to meet at her at the same park we met. I hung up and ran out the door grabbing my jacket on the way. I felt the chilly air against my skin and got a thousand little goosebumps. ''Bloody hell'' I whispered to myself.

Ashley's Pov

My dad is such a bloody wanker, me being the youngest one there of course I'm always getting abused. But that's it, today was the last day he would ever lay his cold fingers on me. John is the only person that I trust and love. He makes me feel beautiful and important, but he can't know that.

I saw John running towards me once he saw me with his beautiful auburn hair and hazel with a hint of gold almond shaped eyes.

''What happened? What's wrong? Are you okay, are you hurt?'' He said while examining my body.

''John! John, I'm okay. Peter chased me and hit me with a golf club. So, here I am running away'' I said near tears.

He saw my tears threatening to spill and pulled me into a hug. ''Aw, Ash it's okay. Don't cry, baby. I'm sure Mimi won't mind you staying a few weeks or months. She loves you'' He said.

''Are you sure? As soon as I graduate I'll move out and get my own flat, I promise!'' I answered.

''Bloody hell Ash, calm down. I'm sure Mimi won't mind at all. You're staying there whether she likes it or not'' He said.

I laughed a little, he really didn't like Mimi sometimes but you can see it in their eyes how much they love each other. ''Now let's go pay little Paulie a visit'' he said.

He grabbed my hand and we walked the streets of Liverpool hand in hand with a grin from ear to ear, we probably looked like crazy people, but we didn't care.
