CHAPTER SIX

MARY-LYNETTE POV

On Monday, Mary-Lynette woke up screaming, crying, and in her brother's arms. Again. She couldn't remember her dream this time, though.

She called Jade to tell her she wasn't coming to school today. She didn't feel like facing that ass. He hurt her upper arm yesterday.

That's right! She thought. She pulled up her pajama sleeve, only to find a bruise. Damn that pig! She yelled—mentally of course.

Meanwhile, at school....

JADE POV

"Hey, Jade!" The blonde turned instinctively to know who was calling her name. To her surprise, it was Mark Carter.

"Hey, Mark, what's up?"

He looked like he'd had a tough morning. Jade was instantly worried. "Um, did anything happen to Mare a couple days ago that you know of?"

At first she thought he was joking around. Then jade saw all the hurt, confusion, and worry in his eyes. "No, why? Is M'lin alright?" She wondered now. She was definitely NOT going to tell mark that his sister just had an encounter with her ass of a brother. Not a chance.

"Oh, then she must really be sick." He murmured to himself. Then to Jade, "Well, thanks anyway." And walked off.

Jade was very worried now. She stalked off to find her brother. She spotted a blonde flirting with a girl in the hallway. She tried to read his mind, and it was blocked. Now she was certain.

Ash. Ash, the ass. She thought to herself.

"ASH!" Jade shrieked at the top of her lungs, making both the girl and Ash look her way.

ASH POV

Ash was about to get this girl in front of him, when suddenly, a shriek was heard. And it was his name being called out. He turned his head to see his youngest sister standing a good twenty feet away. Her facial expression was furious. Probably at him.

He let the girl—who he didn't even bother to know her name—go to her class.

He went over to his sister lazily. "What do you want, Jade?"

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO MARY-LYNETTE?"

"I didn't do anything to that girl. I thought she was a threat, and decided to scare her off." He replied, knowing to himself that that wasn't really the actual reason.

"Well, you did scare her off. She isn't coming to school." She replied, tears forming in her eyes.

"Good, then." He replied. Now, for some reason, he wanted to know why the girl wasn't coming to school. He shrugged it off, and said to Jade, "I guess I'm done here." and walked away.

I guess it worked. She didn't come today, which probably means she might not come tomorrow either. Ash thought to himself as he walked to his first class of the day.

Little did he know, that he hadn't put up his mind blocking, and someone—no one he thought would ever come—had heard his thoughts and memories of the brunette.

MARY-LYNETTE POV

Mary-Lynette was replaying all the things that happened during the weekend. It was really a blur since it went by so fast. I mean all she really did was wince when her brother or his friends slap her on the arm where Ash had grabbed her.

She didn't really eat, just played with her food. She rarely went outside to star-watch. She basically kept to herself, and slept.

She was laying on her bed staring at the ceiling. Then she felt eyes watching her and looked at her door. It was still closed, so she looked around. She noticed it was dark outside, and thought, Maybe it's just some owl or something outside, and went to sleep.

ASH POV

He didn't know why he was doing this, but he felt like he had to. In a couple of seconds, he was in Mary-Lynette's backyard, up the tree, and watching her through the window.

Whenever she moved, or did anything actually, he felt a slight tug in his stomach. He wanted to be with her all the time. And Ash also knew exactly why.

They were soulmates.

Hard to believe that this goody-goody was his—the great, mighty, sexy, Ash—soulmate.

Mary-Lynette turned once towards the door. Why?

Now he froze. She looked directly at him through her window. He wasn't even breathing. (Not like he need to...)

She seemed to feel his gaze on her, though, apparently, she thought that it was some sort of animal. He relaxed when she went to sleep. But he couldn't seem to remove himself from the tree.

Later that night, he went home to a very annoyed Rowan who kept constantly telling him he needs to get home before midnight. Not after.

I know I feel this way because of the soulmate principle, but I can't help it. But I know that she'll never feel the same way I do. Ash sadly thought.

I'm starting to feel like I have to be with someone. Someone important to me. Someone who keeps trying to show it, but I keep misunderstanding. But, who? Who would ever want me this way? No one. No one, indeed. Especially not Ash Redfern. Mary-Lynette thought as she drifted away to sleep...
