Ashe smashes her hammer into the big robot, building B.O.B was very difficult but satisfying that she's learning how to build an actual robot by herself. ''I need a little bit of… Everything.'' She said seeing she needs more tools to get B.O.B to work. She sighed and lays down on the floor to look up at the ceiling frustrated. This is so annoying.
The teenage Cassidy walks in to see the teenage girl Ashe, he put his back against the wall and crosses his arms with a smile. ''Slacking off again Ashe?''
Her thoughts were interrupted when Cassidy's voice fill the room. ''Me slacking? Probably… I'm missing a lot of stuff to finish B.O.B.'' She sits up to look at the robot she's building. The purpose of this robot is to help them in heists and besides wouldn't it be sick to have a robot as your partner in crime? Cassidy is already her partner in crime but a robot will be amazing. Extra hands are not bad at all.
Cassidy wraps his arms around her from behind. ''I'm sure you'll get this boy up and ready to go in no time, just remember to take your time. I don't want ya lose your sleep over this thing.'' He teases his girlfriend.
Ashe smiled touching his arms, him hugging her made her feel warm inside. She never misses out on a hug from Cassidy. ''You're not wrong. I might forget how to get back to sleep.'' She joked, that maybe she should take a small break and come back with a clear mind.
Back then were simple times. Now it's just her and B.O.B without Cassidy. He abandons them out of the blue one day. To this day Ashe never forgot about him and why will she forget? She wants to remember to kill that bastard for leaving her like that. How dare he betray all of them in this way? That's unforgivable and he even knows that too. To think that she listen to that dumb cowboy. Hearing him talking about soul mates and other stupid stuff made her feel disgusted now. She wants to hate the man but she also loves the guy for how he treated her back then but now? She wants nothing more than to shoot him to get rid of her anger towards him even if it's a twisting way of thinking from her broken heart.
Partners don't leave their partners behind to die.
Something he never learned himself.
The heist at Route 66 was a success. Ashe raises her head when one of her partners calls her up to check what they got from their heist. ''I'll take a look in a bit. I'm just… Looking.'' She was specifically looking at the diner, Cassidy used to invite her all the time to eat pie together. She could go for Apple Pie when she gets home.
Also, some good memories are ruined by him. B.O.B begin to pat her shoulder knowing how she must be feeling, she does it once in a while so even the robot understood even though she rather hides her pain from everyone in the need to act tough so she doesn't get played with her weak spots.
If they're not killed where they're standing that is…
The white haired woman turns around to see the goods they catch. ''Let's see our precious treasures.'' She smile as she went to open it but froze when she heard a very familiar voice speak.
''I suggest you don't open that.''
Is that what she thinks it is? She turns around and saw the man that has left her to die; Cole Cassidy. Standing before her with that cool demeanor posture. She hates it now.
Ashe grabs her shotgun and points it at him. ''You got some guts to be showing up around here…'' The gang members were confused seeing one of their old members but seeing Ashe being aggressive they also aim their weapons at the cowboy.
Cassidy raises his hands to not provoke them to shoot him. ''Ashe, take it easy. I'll explain everything if I have to later but I need that thing over there.'' He looks at the white box? Ashe didn't know what was inside but now he got her interested. Ashe didn't say anything as she went to check why does he want it. She opens it to see… Something interesting to say the least. She looks over at the cowboy with a blank look and begins to ask him. ''Why do you need it?''
He of course wasn't going to give that away. ''None of your business. The rest will be yours, I only need that. That's all I want Ashe.''
Ashe glares at him. He's acting like he hasn't betrayed her after she has cried every night for him. ''Who you think you are? Showing up here after leaving me behind? How dare you?!'' She said walking closer to him to point her shotgun at him again while the rest of the gang members were quiet. ''How dare you walk up in here after betraying me?! You deserve death if you think I'm going to let you off the hook that easily!'' The albino woman was fuming.
She can never forget the pain she went through when Cassidy just disappear and now he walks in here like none of that happened? Her hands were shaking but she kept aiming at her ex lover.
''Ashe… Put the gun down.'' Cassidy said softly and she hated it.
''Shut up! D-don't talk to me like that! You don't get to speak to me like that ever again after abandoning me!'' She shouted, her hands were shaking as she tried not to cry in front of him. God Damn emotions. He didn't deserve to see her in her worst, he didn't deserve anything. He deserves to suffer just like she did. It's what he gets for being a prick and abandoning her when they were so happy together.
Cassidy observes her quietly before he responds carefully. ''I know you don't want to kill me Ashe. I promise you that… There's a misunderstanding about what happened back then but I can't explain right now.''
''No! You listen to me! What kind of damn misunderstanding will there be about you leaving me?! Huh?! You're going to give me these answers now before I blow your fucking brains out!'' She shouted getting even more agitated. He can't win her over being all suave again. She's tougher than he thinks.
''I promise you that I will tell you everything when I get back but just you know, I never abandoned you and I didn't ever think about leaving. I loved you too much to do that to you.'' Cassidy didn't know where that assumption came from but he wanted to comfort her. He didn't think she will go through a lot of pain that he had a part in causing. He wants to make it up to her but not right now like this.
Ashe's lips shake hearing that. ''Love me?'' She scoffs with a small laugh to mock him. ''Loved me? Isn't that the funniest thing I have ever heard from you?'' She said mocking him.
''It ain't a joke.'' Cassidy confirms that he's serious.
She glares at him. ''Stop lying! That's it, I'm going to kill you right here and right now. Say goodbye to your miserable life once and for all!'' She spits out the venom getting ready to shoot but honestly? She never had the guts to shoot him. She just wanted to scare him even if it's a little bit.
Cassidy knew that too. ''You don't want to kill me.'' He slowly grabbed the shotgun to make it aim somewhere else that isn't him. ''Just take it easy Ashe…'' He said softly as Ashe let him touch her shotgun, she thought she had the guts to kill him but deep down she didn't want to kill him. She was just hurt. He understood that very well. He was hurting every morning he woke up not seeing his cowgirl checking on him as well so he get it.
Ashe's body start to shake, and her tears were starting to come out as she gritted her teeth.
''Are you crying?'' Cassidy asked feeling for making her cry.
''N-No! It just… I don't know…'' She didn't know to want to say it out loud.
He sigh sadly and place a hand on her shoulder. ''Come on, I promise you a pie, how about it?''
Pie? She sniffs as she lowers her weapon. She had been craving Apple Pie just a moment ago. She wanted to decline his offer and shoot him but revising these memories sounded good. Maybe she is weak but just for the cowboy. B.O.B lowered the weapon and hold his robotic hand up to notify the gang to put down their weapons as the situation was under control.
''Only if it's Apple Pie…'' Her voice sounded weak as she tried to maintain calm when she broke down seconds ago.
The cowboy smiled when she asked for Apple Pie. ''Ah, yeah. Your favorite pie. Right?''
Ashe takes a deep breath and thought about what he said. Yeah, it's her favorite but always avoids eating it to stay away from being reminded of him. ''Yeah… My favorite pie.'' She responded as she looks back at the box he was looking for. ''You can have it but this is the last time I'm giving you the goods we earned. After that? You get shot if you ask any more of our stuff.''
He chuckles a bit at her comment. ''Alright tough cookie. I won't bother you anymore.'' He then thought about them eating pie. ''Do you want to eat the pie in the same diner we go?'' He said as the gang members packed their treasures and passed what Cassidy wants next to him. Ashe crosses her arms as she kept watching him for any sudden movements from him. ''Sure.''
''It's a date then cowgirl.'' Cassidy commented with a cheeky grin.
''No it's not, don't make me regret not killing you.'' Ashe furrows his eyebrow at him as he holds his hands up to not provoke her any longer.
Ashe wondered if being with Cassidy and Apple Pie will taste the same as she remembered it to be.
