Mistaken soulmates?

Fun day?

A/N; Ashley attached above
CW: verbal abuse, body shaming

Ashley walked home from school, enjoying the peace it brought. At her side was her service dog Silvia, a white husky with big blue eyes focused ahead. The teen listening to the cars and the yelling of new York.

She paused in her step, glancing at the phone in her pocket. Changing direction she headed for central park.

Wind blew her hair into her face, temporarily blocking her view. Stumbling over her feet she nearly tripped over Silvia who yelped in alarm. Quickly brushing her hair out of her face she pulled a ponytail from her wrist and pulled her hair into a ponytail.

Crouching down she pet Silvia as an apology and went back to her walk to central park.

After a while they finally made it, crouching down Ashley unhooked Silvia's vest and unclipped the leash from her belt.

Grabbing a ball from her bag she tossed it, Silvia immediately chasing after it. They started playing fetch for a while, enjoying the time together. Less people, less stress.

After about ten minutes Silvia trotted up to Ashley and sat down.

"Done girl? Alright, I guess we can sit for a bit." Ashley chuckled, laying next to the pup and letting her rest a head on the girl's stomach. Ashley looked at the clouds floating by, wishing she could join em. Not bothered by society's standards, parents expectations, or comparisons. Simply dancing in the air, rolling by in the breeze.

Before Ashley even realized it the sun was setting, panic quickly setting in.

"C'mon silv!" Ashley sat up, the pup jerking awake and hurrying to her vest. Ashley grabbed her backpack, putting on Silv's vest and clipping the leash on. They almost ran all the way back home.

Ashley's lungs stung, resting her hands on her knees to try and catch her breath before she had to face her parents.

The door opened and she froze, looking up only to see her sister Alexis.

"Mom and dad aren't home yet, hurry up and put your stuff in your room. I got pizza!" Alexis laughed, turning back and running to the kitchen. Ashley immediately went inside, rushing to toss her bag in her room and letting Silvia out of the vest so Alex wouldn't take all the pizza.

She hurried to the box and managed to grab a couple slices, Alex laughing like a hyena on the couch.

"Oi I'm not that much of a pig!" Alex wheezed. Ashley not bothering to explain that is was cause she hadn't are all day, choosing instead so sit next to her sis and rest her feet on the other girl's lap. Ash took a bite of the food just as their parents opened the door. Ash tensed up and looked back at them, slowly chewing her food as her mom turned and glared at her.

"Seriously? A pizza? Aren't you fat enough!" The woman growled, shame settling over Ash's head.

"MOM!" Alex roared, anger filling her entire being. Ash blocked out the fighting and just ate, keeping her sister sitting so they wouldn't start brawling in the living room again. Silvia jumped up and laid on Ash's legs, resting her head on the girl's stomach. Her big puppy eyes kept looking up at Ash, her ears pinned to block out the yelling as much as possible.

Ash reached out and pet the pup's head, slowly relaxing as she finished her food. Pulling up her headphones and listening to some music as the yelling died out. Silv whined, pushing Ash's hand and forcing her to pet her more. This brought a chuckle to her throat, Alex joining in petting the adorable pup. Silv's tongue poking from her muzzle and causing Ash to burst out laughing, scratching Silv's neck and kissing her forehead.

"Derpy dog-" she giggled, releasing her sister to showing silv in pets and love.
