A/N :
Ashley unlocked her front door quietly. It was dark out and she knew her mom would get on her case for coming home late. Sure enough she was scarcely in the house when her mom began the 'Where were you' and the 'I was so worried' lecture.
"Glad that's over," Ashley muttered to herself as she trudged up the stairs. She went in to her bedroom, locked the door and sprawled out on her bed. Now she was all alone with her thoughts, and as it is human nature to dwell on the negative, Ashley's mind turned to the bad event's in her life, and her overwhelmed mind could no longer hold the tears back. An hour passed, and now she had come to the conclusion that the worst of everything had to be that Jimmy had called her a slut, of that much she was sure. 'People thought we get married,' she thought as she buried her head into her burgundy pillow, 'and now I fucked it up.' More tears started to flow at that realization. She attempted to stifle them by burying her head deeper in her pillow and soon had to come to terms that she had already buried as far as she could. She got up so she could grab a tissue from the nightstand adjacent to her bed. She blew her nose wiped tears with clean sheet, and looked surprised to see no make up came off. As she looked at her pillow she realized why, it was smeared where her eyes had been. A quick glance to the clock told her it was almost 7 o'clock, no wonder she was so hungry.
She went down stairs and threw some leftovers in the microwave. Tobey was completely absorbed in some cartoon on the T.V., in fact he didn't even acknowledge his sisters existence. Ash wasn't in the mood to talk anyway. The microwave beeped alerting her that her meal was ready. She sat and the table and began to eat. Apparently her mom and dad had left the house to do who knows what.
"Hey Ash," Tobey said tentatively. Guess his cartoon had ended.
"Hey Tobey," Ashley sighed, not really paying any attention to him.
"Mom said.," and then she tuned him out, "O.k.?"
"Huh, uh yea whatever," she said having no clue what he was asking anyway. Tobey sat down across from her and looked down at the table, contemplating what to say next.
"Look Ash, I know things have been tough.but, well, I got your back," he said softly attempting to be supportive.
"Th.thanks Tobey, it means a lot," she said tears once again welling up, this time with somewhat of a tinge of happiness in them. He opened up his mouth to say something but she jetted up stairs and dove into bed, this time burying her head into her pillow and ending crying herself to sleep.
+++++
It was 8 o'clock and Tobey was once again watching T.V. The phone rang and he patted the around the table on the side of him, not wanting to take his eyes off the T.V. Finally he found it after it rang a few times.
"Hello?" he asked, paying more attention to the T.V. still.
"Is.uh.Ashley there?" Robert inquired tentatively.
"Yeah but I think she asleep."
"Oh.uh who is this?"
"I'm her brother," Tobey replyed, not wanting to give up too much information. (Safety first!!)
"Ok, well tell her Robert called for her ok bro?"
"Ok, bye." Tobey hung up and went back to his cartoon, and all that he was just told was pushed to the back of his mind.

A/N: Well, tell me what you think. I'm not sure about the direction of the story for sure yet. I do have a main idea already on paper but I never do stick to the plan. Also I'm looking to watch the show to make sure I nail the character's personalities better. Anyway story or plot suggestions are welcome.
