Ashley's point of view.

"No your not" Ashley yelled. Adrian just looked at Ricky and started to laugh.

"Wow, really your just going to over there and beat him up" Adrian shock her head.

"You guys could go to jail" Ashley yelled at Griffin.

"This creep should go to jail for what he did to you" Griffin grunted.

"Amy tell Ricky he could go to jail and not see John for a really long time" Ashley yelled. Their not really going to do this she thought.

"Kick his ass and spit on him for me" Amy replied. Jack nodded his head.

"I don't really like fighting but this kid I promise you he's done this before" Jack murmured.

"How do you know" Grace asked wiping at her face.

"Last year he took this girl Jessica out to the big Spring Dance and they seemed fine when they left early and well when Jessica did finally come back to school she had marks on her face and wouldn't talk to any of her friends two weeks later she moved away" Jack had a look on his face that no one had ever seen before he looked will completely angry.s

"You think Jake raped her" Ashley asked. Jack nodded his head.

"Yeah I do"

"She never went to the police, not anything" Ashley asked.

"Nope"

She could have saved me she thought.

"Were doing this Amy take Ashley home" Ricky got up and started putting on his shoes.

"I'm not going any where" Ashley yelled in Ricky's face.

"Think about you kid" Ashley pushed him.

"Ashley what Jake did wasn't okay and your acting like it's no big deal" Ricky yelled back at her.

"She can't see what we see" Adrian replied.

"Ashley HAVE you looked in the mirror at all" Ricky raised his eyebrows.

"I don't need to that's not important" Ashley shook her head. Ricky looked at Griffin who nodded his head and in one quick movement Ricky picked Ashley up and throw her over his shoulder. She screamed.

"Ricky no please NO" Ashley yelled she banged on his back with her fists but he didn't put her down. Ricky stepped into the bathroom and put Ashley in there then locked the door. Ashley banged on the door. NO NO she paced and closed her eyes she wasn't going to look. About five minutes later Ricky unlocked on the door and walked in.

"Look" He ordered.

"No" Ashley yelled at him.

"Look"

"Screw you" Ashley stopped moving and stood right in front of Ricky. He spun her in front of the mirror and Ashley screamed. My Face Oh my God Ashley touched her cheek and right above her eye each was turning purple with some black in it. She immediately rolled up her shirt and looked at the finger prints they were red.

"My god" Ashley whispered. She turned around and started to cry. Ricky reached for her and pulled her into a hug.

"If you ever tell any one I cried I will never speak to you again" Ashley whimpered.

"You could never not speak to me" Ricky laughed into Ashley's hair.

"Whatever" Ashley replied. Ricky was about to pull back but Ashley hung on to him.

"Don't let go" Ashley laid her head on his chest.

"Never"

"Hey guess what" Ashley laughed.

"What"

"We spent the whole night together and nothing happened"

"Yeah" Ricky pulled back and looked at Ashley. Oh crap Ashley thought he's gonna kiss me. Ricky moved a piece of hair out of her face and leaned down. Ashley closed her eyes.

"Hey Amy's ready to leave" Griffin said as he opened the door. Ricky pulled back and Ashley moved toward Griffin. Griffin just gave them a knowing look and walked out.

"Well uh you leave with Amy" Ricky stepped out before Ashley could say anything else.

Crap, Crap Ashley paced back and froth. Okay this is a mega problem so I got my Ass kick by a rapist and less then 24 hours later I'm almost kissing my nephew's father. Secretly Ashley knew that she hated Griffin for walking in at that very moment. I mean come on she thought. Ashley walked out the bathroom and to her surprise the guys were gone.

"Where did the guys go" Ashley asked.

"Where did you think" Adrian replied.

"Amy how could you just let Ricky leave they could kill Jake" Ashley yelled.

"They should for what he did to you and who knows who else" Amy crossed her arms.

"We need to go stop them I'm not going to let my best friend go to jail over Jake" Ashley spat. She headed for the door but Grace stepped in front of her.

"Grace you should be the main one trying to talk them out of this I'm pretty sure God wouldn't want them to go fight Jake". Grace wiped at her eyes yet again.

"Sorry, Ashley but Jake should really be hurt for what he did to you" Grace replied. Adrian rolled her eyes at Grace.

"Amy we need to go after them" Ashley snapped at her.

"Ashley lets just go home" Amy whispered.

"Amy…"

"Ashley" Amy yelled. Everyone jumped back and Amy sighed.

"Ashley lets go please" Amy sighed. Ashley looked at Amy and saw the tears in her eyes and shook her head.

"Fine" Ashley headed for the door.

"Can we come and hangout with you" Grace smiled. Ashley sighed and was about to say No.

"I just don't want to be alone after all of this" Grace pleaded. Ashley felt like this was portly her fault so why not.

"Fine". Grace shrieked and Adrian just smiled.

"Meet you there" Adrian replied. They all walked out and Amy turned around and locked the door.

"How do you have a key" Adrian asked.

"Ricky gave me one so if I get here with John early we don't have to wait out here for him if he's not here" Amy replied calmly despite Adrian's tone.

"Oh". Ashley walked a head and felt like crying. But she couldn't feel weak right now so she blinked a coupled times and headed outside. But stopped dead in her tracks when a thought came rushing at her.

"Mom and Dad CANNOT see me like this" Ashley yelled.

"Right" Adrian said.

"Why don't you know you just you know tell them what happened" Grace shrugged.

"Yeah tell them I spelt over Ricky's house and when they ask why I just smoothly tell them oh yeah I was almost raped" Ashley replied tone full of sarcasm.

"Well sneak you into your room no problem" Amy said as he headed to her car.

"Right that's going to be so easy" Ashley replied.

"Well while you two figure that out well meet you at the garage" Adrian replied as her and Grace hurried into her car.

"Everything's going to be fine" Amy replied as she got into the car. Ashley took a deep breath and got in. Other then the radio they drove in complete silence.

"Why did you come to Ricky's place" Amy asked braking Ashley out of her train of thought.

"His place was right there I told you that already" Ashley replied.

"Yeah, I know but why not come home" Amy asked.

"Ricky WANTED to take me home but I said no" Ashley replied knowing what Amy was hinting at.

"Oh, okay" Amy said ending the conversation. Ashley rolled her eyes and turned the radio up. Some random song was playing but Ashley didn't change it. When they pulled up to the house Ashley almost throw up.

"Amy I can't let them see like this" Ashley replied tears daring to come out.

"They won't just run into your room Adrian, Grace, and I will meet you in there" Amy grabbed Ashley's hand and squeezed it.

"Ready" Amy asked. Ashley nodded her head and bolted out of the car. She took of running for her room. When she got there Adrian and Grace were standing outside there holding soda and snacks. Ashley rolled her eyes at how slumber party this was.

"Hey, Ashley" Grace smiled at her.

"Mind opening the door" Adrian nodded to the door. Ashley stepped in between them and took the key from under the mat and unlocked the door. She stepped into her room and breathed a sigh of relief. This felt like home and it relaxed her.

"Make yourself at home" Ashley chimed as they walked in. The girls sat down and Ashley grabbed her phone and called Ricky. The phone ring and ring but no one answered.

"Damn, Ricky pick up your phone please don't do this" Ashley sighed and hung up.

I'm not going to worry about him it's not my problem right Ashley thought as ran her hand though her hair.

"Do you really think their not going to do this" Grace asked.

"I do I just don't want them to" Ashley replied.

"Why" Adrian snapped just then Amy walked in.

"Why, What" Amy asked.

"Why she cares so much if they hurt that creep" Adrian spat.

"I care because they could go to jail over that creep" Ashley sneered back.

"What did you see in him anyway" Adrian asked as Amy sat down and Grace opened a bag of chips.

"He was what all narcissus do he was sweet and charming made you think you could completely trust him and when he did some thing bad he made it seem like it was your fault" Ashley shrugged.

"Let's talk about something else" Grace chimed in.

"Like what" Amy asked.

"Adrian when did you and Ricky break up you seemed fine at the dance last night"

"Ah, he just did it he said that he couldn't do this anymore and that he loved me but it was over" Adrian wiped at her face. Ashley swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat. She of all people knew why Ricky had done it and a part of her was happy about but another was just confused and hurt.

"Did he say why" Amy asked.

"He said I didn't trust him enough or something like that something to do with his cheating but he cheated on me a brunch of times so how am I not suppose to be suspicious" Adrian cried as she wiped at her face tears never fell but they were in her eyes.

"Once you've been cheated on there is no trusted you should have ended the relationship a long time ago" Ashley replied.

"But I love him"

"That love was hurting you it's not like he cheated on you one time and you took him back he did it over and over again you deserve much better then the old Ricky" Ashley shook her head at the stupidity in the room all these girls have had something to do with Ricky and all of them came out with wounds.

"What do you mean the old Ricky" Grace asked as her and Amy dug into the bag.

"Oh, Ashley and Ricky are really good friends now she would know" Amy smiled.

"What since when" Grace smiled at Ashley.

"For a while now and he has changed that has a lot to do with his therapy" Ashley replied.

Adrian just sat there really silent.

"Speaking of Ricky, Amy why were you over his house so early" Ashley asked.

"Oh, well I was going over there to tell him that I would bring John over later you know Ricky gets him on the weekends"

"Yeah but you could have just called.

"I did but he didn't answer"

"Oh, just spill it Amy why were you really over there" Adrian smiled.

"Well you didn't come home and Mom and Dad were worried so I went looking"

"I'm missing and the first place you look is Ricky's place" Ashley asked shocked.

"Hey, you never know" Amy laughed and Ashley couldn't help but laugh to.

Ashley stopped laughing and sighed.

"What's the problem" Adrian asked as she reached over Grace and handed Ashley a coke.

"I'm just really worried about Ricky" Ashley opened the can and took a long drink.

"And Griffin" She added at the last second.

"There probably kicking that douche's ass by now" Adrian replied.

"I'll call Ben" Amy got up and started to walk out.

"Hey, wait up Amy I want to call Jack to" Grace got up and her and Amy walked out together. The room was quiet for a really long time.

"Alright now that were alone tell me what's going on between you and Ricky" Adrian locked eyes with Ashley. Ashley got the sense that if looks could kill she would be on the floor dead as a door nail.

"Nothing, Adrian were some what close to being friends and if there was anything going on between me and Ricky I would tell you" Ashley lied she felt the burn of the coke slide down her throat. Probably Karma Coke never burns me she thought.

Adrian smiled at her.

"Thanks, Ashley". That very moment Grace and Amy burst into the room.

"Ashley call Ricky right now" Amy yelled. Ashley didn't hesitate she pulled out her phone and called Ricky. She could hear Adrian asking Grace and Amy what was going on but she felt like she was in another world. Her heart was bounding at the thought that something had happened to Ricky. He picked up on the last ring.

"Ricky what's happening" Ashley yelled into the phone and room was completely silent.

What he said next sent Ashley on her knees. She started to scream.

The rest of the story will continue in Ashley's point of view. Here it goes. I DO NOT OWN THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER OR THE SONG THAT HELPED ME WRITE THIS.
