After the confrontation in the hallway, Ashleigh made her way to Jay's lockeroom. She had to get away from him, and the abuse. At least when she was by herself she was safe. She sat on the couch and opened a magazine.She was flipping through it, when she heard the lockeroom door slam shut. She got off the couch and ran in to the bathroom and turned on the shower.

"Ashleigh where are you?" Jay called out.

"In the shower, be right out" Ashleigh called back as she stripped down, got in the shower and got her hair wet. She wrapped herself up in a towel, and walked back in to the lockeroom. "You called?"

Jay grabbed her by the hair and bent her head back. "If I ever see you talking to Alex Shelley again, I'm going to beat you so badly, that you're going to be eating through a straw. You hear me" Jay jerked her head back up and looked at her in the eyes.

Ashleigh felt the tears surround her eyes as she got out of Jay's grip. "I'm not a little kid. So you can't tell me who I can be friends with" Ashleigh said.

Jay grabbed her by the arm. "You're my property"

"I'm not a piece of merchandise that you own. I'm a human being, and if you treated me like one, I wouldn't have second thoughts about this relationship" Ashleigh replied as she turned to walk away.

But before she had a chance to go far, Jay threw Ashleigh against the wall and pinned her arms up. "Listen you little slut. The only reason I put up with you, is because no one else wants you. I have other options and there's plenty more girls out there that would kill to trade places with you"

"So, you can abuse them too" Ashleigh said.

Jay was getting madder by the second, and he let his anger take over him. He gripped Ashleigh by the throat and threw her against the wall again, but this time even harder. Ashleigh felt the tears surround her eyes again, and they began to fall down her cheeks. "Jay, please you're hurting me"

"Oh am i?" Well then this won't feel good either" Jay said bringing his hand up and colliding with her cheek. Ashleigh touched her reddened cheek while Jay stood there with a grin on his face.

Ashleigh pushed him away and started to scream out "Help me someone!"

"No one can hear you, so you can scream all you want", Jay said still grinning.

Apparently someone heard her scream, because someone busted through the door and tackled Jay on the ground, and started punching him. Ashleigh didn't see who the person was at first, but then she realized who it was. It was Alex. Alex and Jay continued to brawl until security came in and broke the 2 up. They took Jay out of the room.

Alex turned to see a scared Ashleigh. "Ashleigh I...", he started to say, when Ashleigh hugged him tightly and began to cry in to his chest.

She looked up with her tear stained eyes and said "Thank you"

"You're welcome. I was walking by, and heard you screaming, so I came to see what was wrong" Alex replied hugging her back.

"I don't know what Jay would have done if you hadn't of came in" Ashleigh said.

"Why do you stay with him, if he treats you like this?" Alex asked.

"I ask myself that question everyday, but not anymore because I'm breaking up with him. I hate myself for not doing it sooner" Ashleigh said.

"Good, because you deserve to be with someone that won't hit you" Alex said rubbing her back gently.

"Thanks again for rescuing me. I really appreciate it" Ashleigh said giving Alex a half smile.

"No problem, but I don't want you to be by yourself. Just because Jay might come after you again. So why don't you come to my lockeroom, so I can keep an eye on you" Alex suggested.

"Are you sure? I don't wanna impose" Ashleigh replied.

"Yes, I'm positive. Go get changed, and get your stuff together. I'll wait for you" Alex said.

Ashleigh reached up and kissed Alex's cheek lightly before going in to the bathroom to change. After she changed, she grabbed her suitcase and followed Alex out of the lockeroom. For the first time in a year, she felt safe and it felt pretty good.
