Here's the third chapter! Please review:)

The morning light shown softly through my window. Thank God it was Saturday. Jack got me Taxi, and sent me on my way. At least to him I wasn't just a Conduit. Chris had called later that night. I didn't bother to answer it. He can have McKenna. I love Christopher, but I can't take much more of his mother. I'm sure there'll be a few rumors about Jack and me. (Most of them will be made up by his sister) That I can take. Chris is going to have to decide, if he's going to break his bond with McKenna or reseal it. (I like the first option better myself.) I took a deep breath to clear my head of thoughts of McKenna.

My cell started to ring on my night stand blaring out "Misery Business" by Paramore. That wasn't Chris because it would be blaring "Sweet Sacrifice" by Evanescence. That could be any one actually. I picked up the phone cautiously. I took a deep breath and answered it. "Hello." I said softly. "Hey Ashley! It's McKenna! I was just wondering how you were this morning." How could she be so damn preppy? Where does she get my name is Ashley? It's Asher, not Ashley. I've been called Ash since birth! I was about to tell her I was fine until I spoke to her, but I caught myself. "I'm fine. And my name is not Ashley." I said sounding as bored and uninterested as possible. She really irritated me. "Oh I'm sorry. Then what is your name? By the way Chris tried to call you last night." Does it ever shut up! How the heck would she know Chris tried to call me? "It's Ash dimwit!" Damn it! What did I just say to her. "I tried to be nice to your lowly Conduit self." She said sneering Conduit. I hung up the phone right then and there before I could tell her what I thought of her. "Ash!" I heard my name being called from down stairs. I slipped into my wine red robe and slinked down the stairs.

There stood a flustered Christopher Dawson. "What?" I said through gritted teeth. "Ash what is wrong with you? I tried to call you!" At least his worry was genuine. "McKenna Barton is what's wrong with me Chris! She called me this morning and I let her have it! How did she know you called me? Huh? Was she in your bed room when you called me!" I started to breathe heavily. That was alot to scream at a person. "Calm down! I told her that I was going to call you. She's not even been near my room." His tone was defensive. "I don't even like McKenna! I want nothing to do with her." He said his tone softening. He pulled me closer to him and looked down into my eyes adoringly. "Okay, but from now on when it comes to her. I'm in the business of misery." I said teasingly and kissed him.
