A/n: Well this chapter starts the night Ashley and Amy are getting ready to go to dance and the dance it self. And the aftermath. Rated M just in case for one scene.

Ashley picked up her brush and brushed her hair one last time. Before putting on her lip gloss. She looked in the mirror and almost screamed. Stop stressing she thought. Ashley grabbed her purse that matched her dress and headed for the main house.

"Oh, Ashley you look so beautiful" George smiled as he gave her a hug.

"Dad you can stop now" Ashley smiled as she stepped out of his bear hug.

" Just wow Ashley you look so great" George smiled.

"Thanks Dad Amy ready yet" Ashley asked.

"Yeah almost"

"Right" Ashley replied as she headed up stairs and walked to Amy's room.

"These shoes are not comfortable" Ashley said as she sat on Amy's bed and took them off.

"Tell me about" Amy replied as she fixed the bun she put in her head.

"Well Amy I say we look hot" Ashley replied as she got up and stood next to her sister.

Amy ran her hands through Ashley's hair.

"Yeah I think so" Amy smiled. They heard the door bell ring and immediately smiled.

"Alright well are dates are here and on time so lets get down there" Amy grabbed her purse and Ashley slipped back on her shoes. They hooked arms and walked down stairs.

Both boys looked up at their dates each feeling very lucky but not for the same reasons.

"Wow Amy you look amazing" Ben smiled at the love of his life.

"Thank you Ben and you look very cute" Amy smiled back at him and they kissed.

"Ashley you look great" Jake said. Ashley smiled at him. A part of her was happy he was her date but the other part wanted someone else.

"Thanks Jake you look great to" Ashley replied.

"Alright picture time" Anne came running in George trailing behind her with Robbie on his hip and John walking behind him. Anne wanted six picture's one of the girls together and then with there dates each. Then a group picture. Finally a picture of each girl by themselves.

"Alright Mom we got to go" Amy said as she reach for the door.

"Wait I have to get a picture of Ricky and he's right across the street" Anne dashed out the house but George stayed put and waved goodbye.

"Have fun you guys but not to much" George said to them as they walked out the house.

"Hi, Ricky" Anne yelled as she walked over to Adrian's house.

"Hey, " Ricky waved. Adrian stepped out of the house in a red dress that held everything just right and had ALMOST to low v cut.

"Alright you're going to take a picture with Adrian then Amy and then Ashley okay" Anne said. Ricky ran his hands through his hair.

"Alright"

Ricky took his picture with Adrian.

"Amy you look great" Ricky complimented.

"Thank you and you look great as well" Amy replied. They stood there pretty uncomfortable as Ricky wrapped his arm around her waist.

"And they had sex" Jake asked. Ashley laughed

"Yep" Ashley nodded. Amy and Ricky finished taking there picture. And Ashley walked over to Ricky.

"You look well WOW" Ricky explained as Ashley stood next to him.

"You clean up nice to Underwood" Ashley smiled. Ricky wrapped his arm around her waist and she leaned into him completely relaxed.

"Alright guys I'm done have fun" Anne replied as she waved goodbye and walked back to the house. Amy and Ben said there goodbyes and they got into the carriage. Ashley and Ricky looked at each and started to laugh.

"She loves it" Ashley smiled.

"Yeah she does" Ricky laughed.

"What's so funny" Jake asked.

"Inside joke" Ricky replied with a smile.

"You guys seem to have a lot of those" Adrian crossed her arms. Ricky shook his head and walked over to her and kissed her. Ashley drew a breathe and watched unable to not look at them. He's happy that's what important Ashley thought. Jake reached out his arm and Ashley loped hers with his. They walked to his hummer and he opened the door for her she slid in.

"You seem pretty close to that guy" Jake asked.

"Yeah he's a good friend of mine" Ashley smiled.

"You guys just friends" he asked.

"What else would we be" Ashley asked as she looked over at him.

"Nothing I just know Ricky's reputation" Jake shrugged. Ashley just rolled her eyes.

"You believe in reputations" Ashley asked.

"Why not".

"Your parents buy you this car" Ashley asked as she ended the conversation.

"Yep early gradation presents" Jake smiled.

"Their sure you'll graduate" Ashley joked.

"Probably not" He joked back. They pulled up to the school. And Jake got out and opened her door. They walked into the gym together. Ashley looked around completely stunned the gym look beautiful.

"Hey, I'm going to look for Griffin see you in five at the refreshment table" Ashley said. Jake nodded his head. Ashley walked around and waved to people she know. Until she finally got to Griffin.

"Hey, there you are" Ashley said as she walked up to him.

"Hey you look great one strap like I said nice color and perfect you hair is down" Griffin replied.

"Hi, I'm Conner you must be Ashley" A guy with short blonde hair and brown eyes said to her.

"Hi" Ashley smiled.

"So has your dating so far" Griffin asked.

"Kind of decent" Ashley shrugged as she looked around.

"Go dance and drink I'll join you in a minute" Griffin shooed her. Ashley rolled her eyes and walked to where Jake was.

"Hey want a drink" Jake offered her one. Ashley shook her head no she did know what he could have done to it. "Lets dance" She said.

Jake nodded his head and led her to the dance floor. They danced to three fast songs. But then a slow one came on and she saw Amy.

"Hey that's Amy be right back" Ashley said and she walked over to her sister.

"Where have you been" Ashley asked.

"We ate a little snack first" Amy replied.

"You had dinner"

"Yep there was music and everything" Amy smiled. Just then Jake came behind her and dragged her to the dance floor. Just as another song was about to end Ricky came up to them.

"Mind if I steal your dance partner" Ricky asked. Jake shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ashley. Ashley nodded yes and Jake walked over to the punch. Just then Hey there Delilah came on. Ricky took Ashley by the waist and they began to sway.

"Time square can't shine as bright as you oh yes its true" Ricky sang along. Ashley smiled and laughed.

"If you get lonely give this song another listen, close your eye's listen to my voice it's my disguise, I'm by your side" Ashley sang into Ricky's ear.

"Oh, what you do to me" Ricky finished. Ashley pulled back and smiled. For that very moment it was just them no one else and they were together. Ashley leaned her head down on his shoulder and let the moment sink in. But only a short while later the song ended and Jake started walking up to them.

"Are song" Ricky said in her ear as Jake came up. Ricky took a step back and another song came on.

"Thanks for the dance" Ricky said as he headed over to Adrian who looked very pissed off.

Jake took Ashley's hand and they started dancing but Ashley head was filled with question that Jake could not answer. Yet another slow song came on. I thought they didn't want teenager's touching each other at dance's Ashley thought as Jake put his hand out. Ashley took it and they started slowly swaying.

"Wanna get out of here now" Jake asked.

"Yeah I need to talk to some one first through meet at the front of the gym in ten" Ashley answered. Jake nodded and Ashley went in search of Grace. Why I'm doing this Ashley thought as she went looking for Grace. She found her with Jack dancing and they looked happy. Grace saw Ashley and smiled at her. Ashley waved goodbye and turned to find Griffin. Who was right on the dance floor with Conner.

"I'm leaving call you tomorrow" Ashley said as she walked up to him.

"'Kay" Griffin replied. It took Ashley five minutes to find Amy.

"I'm about to leave see you at home" Ashley said to Amy.

"Alright who's taking you" Amy asked.

"Jake" Ashley answered.

"You going to be okay" Amy asked. Ashley nodded.

"Okay bye" Amy gave Ashley a hug and Ashley meant with Jake and started to walk out. She almost stop because she didn't say goodbye to Ricky. But Ricky would only talk her out of riding home with Jake and she didn't need Adrian even madder at her because he would probably want to take her home. So Ashley kept walking and let Jake throw his arm around her and lead her outside and into the car. They talked about random stuff. They were driving past the Butcher Shop maybe about three blocks away and then they pulled over.

"Why'd you stop" Ashley asked as she turned toward him

"To do this" Jake said as he leaned in to kiss her. Ashley let Jake kiss her because she wanted to like him to get over whatever she was feeling over Ricky. She let Jake lead her to the back of the car. Where they continued to kiss. It was when his hand started going up her dress did Ashley push his hand down. They kept kissing but then he tried again. Ashley pulled back.

"Stop it" Ashley said.

"Okay sorry" Jake replied he kissed her again. And that went on for a minute he started leaning her down and Ashley stopped kissing him.

"Get off me" Ashley yelled as she tried to push him.

"Come on you know you want to stop playing hard to get" Jake said as he push a sloppy kiss on her mouth. Jake shoved her down and reach for her breast.

"Get off" Ashley yelled again as his hands grabbed her. Jake laid on top of her and Ashley slapped him hard. She tried to push him off then but he grabbed her and slammed her head down. Ashley screamed. Jake slapped her in the face so hard Ashley felt like throwing up

"Come on you're a Jurgens" Jake pulled her hands over her head. Ashley screamed out in pain.

"What is that suppose to mean" Ashley murmured trying to get out of the cloud of pain that had take over her.

"Your sister's easy and so are you so stop playing and lets get started" Jake kissed her and shrugged of his jacket. He started to take his shirt off with one hand while using the other one to hold her arms.

Ashley raised her knee into his crouch and Jake fell over in pain. Ashley jumped up and crawled for the door. Jake got up and grabbed her by the strap of her dress it ripped Ashley held up the dress as best she could and started for the door again. Jake reached for her and Ashley pulled her foot back and hit him in the mouth. Jake screamed. Jake spun her around and sucker punched her in the face. Ashley fell back. She tried to move but all she saw were stares.

"Bitch, what the hell" Jake yelled. Ashley felt her surge of adrenaline and jumped up.

"Get away from me" Ashley screamed as she grabbed her purse and hit him in the face. It barley touch him and Jake grabbed her arm and Ashley fell on the back seat. Jake jumped on top of her.

"Get off of me" Ashley yelled. She reached up and grabbed his hair. Jake grabbed her hand and slammed it down.

"You like it ruff then" Jake yelled.

"I don't like it anyway GET THE HELL OFF ME" Ashley yelled as she punched Jake in the nose. He fell back and Ashley turned and opened the door. Once her feet hit the ground she took off running. Ashley kept running until she heard a crack and she fell to the floor. Her heel had broken. The bottom of her dress was ripped to. Ashley kept running as best as she could. She realized she had ran to the Botcher Shop. Ashley banged on the glass.

"Ricky" Ashley yelled she continued to yell for what felt like five minutes. But she gave up and slided to the floor. Ashley started to cry. She looked at and saw a shadow. Ashley screamed.

Well that's chapter 9 epic or what. Who's the shadow is it Jake, Ben, Ricky, or some one completely random. Well please review. I DO NOT OWN THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER OR THE SONG THAT HELP ME WRITE THIS OR THE SONG THAT WAS IN THIS CHAPTER.
