With Death Etched In My Heart

Chapter 20: Shopping Really IS A Girl's Best Friend

Hey everyone, I can' t believe were already on Chapter 20(: Like for real. In ever thought I'd get this far. Honestly I can't even remember when I started this book. I think it might have been like three months ago 0.0 XD I'm pathetic lol. Anyways enjoy this chapter. I think it might just be a filler, to bond Ashes and Emmy up a bit :3ap AND I HAVE A REAL PHOTO OF ASHER! Its my friend Max, but this is what Asher looks like c: Look at it (:

"ASHER RENEÈ KINGSTON, GET YOUR LAZY BUTT UP!!!! Its THREE P.M.!" I felt pillows beat into my head, causing me to jump. I groan and close my ears, swapping away at Emmy. "But I don't wanna..!" I whine at her. I head her huff. "Too bad! I'm taking you shopping, you need new clothes, not those nasty, blood-crusted ones." OhGod, shoppingwithafemale. I shutter in bed. "SO GET UP!!" She screamed. "Okay okay, I am!!" I yelled back. I kicked the covers off me me, slightly irritated. For once I had a decent sleep. My chest ached terrible though, and I must have done a crappy job at hiding the fact I was in pain. The next thing I know, I was being dragged into the bathroom, and shoved onto the toilet seat. "We really need to get that fixed. Sorry, but if it gets worse, it could get infected. Take off your clothes." She demanded as she pulled out a kit of medical supplies. I felt myself blush, as I stripped my shirt and jeans off, only to be in boxers. Emmy gasped at the sight. "Jesus, Ash! You're gonna need stitches..." she inspected the gash in my lung, trailing her fingers gently along the wound. "Asher hun, god. I don't know if I'll beable to stitch this myself."

      "It's fine, I'm fine." Just as I said it, I winced under her touch. "Yeah, right." She got out dissinfectant whipes, pressing on the wound lightly. I gasped, jumping back. The wound stung immensly. It took everything I had not to scream. "What the hell!" I screamed lightly. She drew her hand away, glaring at me. "Hold still! It's gonna sting, dummy." i grunt at her. Obviously it was gonna sting. I wince repeatedly as the antiseptic kicked in. In minutes, the pulsing red flesh pussed. Emmy wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Goddamn Asher. Ew." I gave her a look of pity. "Come on, I didn't ask you to do this. Wanna taste it?" I stand up, flashing my chest dangerously close to her face. She squeals, smacking me lightly on the shoulder. "Nasty!!! Ew, gross, I'm gonna puke!" She fake gags, then sits back in front of me. Reaching into the medical kit, she brought out a curved needle and black thread. "Oh god, no. Get away from me!" I screech, and run out of the bathroom. Emmy chases after me, around the kitchen, on the bed... "ASHER!!! Get... OVER HERE! Stop being a baby!" She yells, grabbing my waste and pinning me to the floor. She sat on my stomach, as I squirmed. "Lemme go! I dont want stitches!!!"

         "Shut it and be still!" I felt a needle stab through my chest. "Ouch!" I groan glaring at her. She stuck out her tongue, ad continued to lace the needle in and but of my skin. Before long she finished, tying off a knot and cutting the thread off. "Now, that wasn't so bad, now was it? Come on, were going!" My face shot daggers in her direction, as she got her keys and hobo bag. Getting  up, I followed, chest stinging, thanks to Em. Why must women be so persistent,? I think, exiting the room.

                        

--------------- At The Mall---------------

"I know where were goinngggggggggggg!!" Emmy chirped, avoiding swarms of people. I smiled at her, as we both spoke, "Hot topic" My inner child came out, and before I knew it we were racing up the escalator, and to the dome shaped entrance of the beloved store. "Yes, just, yes. This place, is where unicorns take shits and Gummy bears Fuck." I said, without thinking. I glance at Emmy, a grin plastered on her face, and we bust up. That is, until I realized I was broke. God this is gonna be awkward...... "um.. Hey I'll wait out here. I.. forgot my wallet in the room. I'm sorry, you go in and have fun." I looked at her with a disappointed, and not so convincing smile. She just laughed. Well... "Oh come on. I already know you don't have money. Asher, how many times do I have to tell you, I'm loaded. Seriously, were going in there, and were buying out the entire store. And between the two of us, that wont be that hard. And you know you want to, so dont even try to object. STOP, DONT GIVE ME THAT LOOK. Let's go!" I was just about to argue, but she grabbed my arm and dragged me in.

  

       All Time Low's "Love Like War"  blarred in the background. Immediately, I felt my body destress. It smelled like fresh band merch, my favorite. "Ermergerd. Yas." Emmy squeeled, running to a rack of shoes. I rolled my eyes. Typical. She may be a metal head, but no girl can resist shoes. I went to inspect the fine collection of My Chemical Romance Merchandice they had. After minutes of looking, I settled on a black beanie with the MCR logo embroidered on the front. Emmy woddled over. In her arms, were, at least six pairs of shoes, twenty bracelets, a blanket, five or more sweaters, and a shirt. She eyed my beanie, and slapped me with a shirt sleeve. "GET MORE. You make me feel like a stereotyped female. I'm not even done yet. Get everything!" She threw her stuff down on a chair. She grabbed one of every piece of merch she saw in front of her and threw them at me. "There's a start, don't make me do the rest!" She hopped away, grinning. I sighed. I couldn't let her buy all this stuff, but at the same time, I knew she wouldn't let me say otherwise. I began collecting as many things I liked, laying them all in a small pile under a black chair . Soon, the pile grew larger and larger. I took a look around, and saw Em chatting to a young guy with Colbolt Blue hair, and Snakebites. He was wearing a dark pair of jeans, blue converse, and a Pierce The Veil Shirt. A twinge of jealousy wavered in my body, and I looked away. I distracted myself by scanning through the variety of T-Shirts on display. Eventually I settled for one of everything. I know, so typical . I didn't bother trying anything on, I knew my size well.

       With piles of merchandise laying by me, Emmy finished up her chat with Smurfy, and made her way over here. "Hai Ash, ready to go?" I nodded, not speaking. She gave me an odd look, but shrugged. We waited in line, them we placed all we could in the check out. The purchase ended up being three seperate transactions, because we bought too much. "$5,673.65. Is your final... purchase." The lady looked at us with doubt. "You guys really go that?" She crossed her arms. Emmy pulled out her was of cash. "Keep the change." She chirped.

     

       We walked out with what I estimate to be probably thirty to fourth bags... each. Three guys had offered to help take our stuff to the car. We reached the parking lot, and Emmy opened the car trunk. We stuffed her bags in, the set mine in the backseat. She called them both, then thanked the men for help. Before going, the Smurf dude came up to her. A growl rose in my throat, and I looked away.  "Hey again, Em. Hey, I was wondering if maybe we could get together sometime for lunch?" He asked in such a fake voice, I cringed. He glanced at me."hey, there a problem, bud?" He cocked his head. "No, thanks." He shifted his gaze back to Em. She nodded her head, then shook. "Um, hey, sorry Blaze. But I'm seeing someone ." He nodded, thanking he, and walked away. Suddenly, depression hit again.

        The car ride home was awkward. "Hey... thanks for everything Em...." I spoke softly. "Of course Ashey. There'll be more where that came from." She smiled. The rest of the time was silent, until we parked, entered the hotel, and went into the rooms, assisted by Luggage Carriers.

             I basically crashed on the bed, yawning. Something was bothering me. "Yo, Em?" She was trying in a cute fringed bow. "Yeah?" She flopped on the bed. "Who are you...seeing?" I looked away. She just nodded her head and sighed. Turning the light off, she laid back down, facing away from me. "Boys are so dense." She mumbled....
