Ch three moving in

Anna's pov

" so we um we're riding this? Like back to the house?" I said nervously

" yeah. What did you think we were gonna take? A car?" Ashley said

" um sort of" I said. Then he saw me looking at the bike funny.

" have you ridden one before? Your kind of looking at it like some foreign

object" he said sort of laughing.

" um no..." I said " and stop laughing at me it's not funny!" unfortunately that

just made him laugh harder.

" ok" he said trying to controll his laughter. " just get on behind me"he said,

getting on the bike first. After I got on he said " now put your arms around me"

"Your kidding right?" I asked

"Well do you want to fall off?" ash said. I looked at him and shook my head no.

" well then I suggest you listen to me"

" fine" I said putting my arms around him. " but let's not mention this to CC"

"That's fine with me. Also you can't try to sit as far away from me as possible.

You kind of need to be up against me" he said. Sounding flirty of course

" great" I said sarcastically, moving up closer to him

" see it's not that bad" he said. I could tell he was smiling. Enjoying his

small victory " I also enjoy sunsets, long walks on the beach and-"

I cut him off " let's just go to the house now ok?"

" someone didn't take her nap this afternoon" ash said sounding slightly annoyed

"fine we can just sit here and talk. Until CC come to make sure we really left

and kills yes he will do that. So how's your day been?" I tried to sound

cheerful

" fine let's go, but why would CC check up on us like that?" he asked

" long story. I'll tell you when we get to the house" I said just hoping CC

wouldn't kill Ash already.

*at the house*

" were here" Ashley said as we pulled into the driveway.

"And look there's all my stuff!" I said pointing to where CC had promised he

dropped it off this morning. By the time I had finished saying that Ashley was

already off the motorcycle and was offering me his hand to I could get off

without falling on my face.(had I mentioned I could be a klutz?)

" so why exactly would CC come check on us?" Ashley prodded as we were bringing

my stuff into the house.

" well it's kind of a long story" I said hoping he wouldn't care enough to

listen so I didn't have to explain it.

" well I have time" he said sitting down next to me on my new bed.

*****FLASHBACK***** MIDDLE SCHOOL*****

CC's pov

"stop it" I heard someone yell. Then I heard some laughing.

" STOP!" I heard the same voice yell again. I better go see what it is. I

thought to myself.I started walking in the direction of the I got

there all I saw was a beautiful girl being beaten up by a bunch of guys in my

looked familiar. I think I've seen her in school before. Then I

remembered her name. "Anna!" I yelled

"help!" she yelled back as the guys contribute to abuse I jumped in to

save her. After suffering a few punches I managed to drag her out.

" what the hell were they doing?" I asked her as soon as we ran to safety.

"it's nothing. They do that all the time. It just usually isn't that

for saving me though."

I looked at her in disbelief. She was amazing. Not only was she beautiful,

skinny with layered black hair, sparkling hazel eyes and an amazing fashion

sense(in my opinion. Which meant she looked like she was half emo half I just

walked out of a hollywood glam rock band). She also apparently fought those guys

off for ten min. Before she gave in. Which was thankfully when I got there to

save her. After that we became best friends. I never let her go anywhere without

me. Not only because she was my best friend and understood me like no one else

did, but because I wasn't about to let her go through that again. Apparently it

was normal for guys to make fun of her and even to beat her up like that. Never

again, I told myself.

*****END OF FLASHBACK*****

Ashleys pov

" oh my god... I'm so sorry I even asked" I said. Honestly all I wanted to do

was hug her and continue to do what CC was doing. Protect never let her

out of my arms, because she would always be safe there.

" it's fine. It was a long time ago." she said. I could still see the look in

her eyes though. The look of pain, and torture. The same look I wore every day

throughout middle school.

" it will be fine. Nothin like that's gonna happen again. I promise." I said

pulling her into a protective wasnt at all reluctant to give in to the hug. Then I heard a cough, and looked at the was standing there, obviously not pleased with what was going on.
