Opposites attract

Once Ashley was safely in her dressing room she broke down in tears, Lucy slipped her arms around her as Ashley cried, they stayed like that for at least 20 minutes before Ashley finally started to calm down, she looked down at the cast on her wrist then up at Lucy 'how could I be so stupid Luce?' She questioned 'to think that he'd just be okay with Tyler and I, we haven't even told anyone and he's the reason why, I'm scared of him and what he's gonna do to Tyler, I don't care what he does to me Luce but I couldn't live with myself if he hurt Ty, and you know what he's like he can be really forceful when he wants to be and I'm scared' the words tumbling out of her mouth faster than she had time to think, she took a breath before pulling her phone out, 'shays gonna be here soon..' She mumbled 'I can't tell her Lucy, please you can't say anything' Lucy looked at her as if to disagree but saw the desperation in her eyes and like without consent from her brain she nodded slightly 'I promise' she engulfed Ashley into a hug playing with her hair until she had to go and get ready, Ashley wasn't filming until later so she laid in her room staring at the ceiling. She was just about to drift off to sleep when her phone bleeped, she ignored it and it bleeped again, once again she ignored it and it bleeped and bleeped and bleeped until finally she picked it up to look at '17 new messages - Ryan' the notifications on her phone read. Her heart sunk as she slid across the lock screen opening the messages.

'Hi gorgeous'
'Ashley'
'Bitch don't ignore me'
'Oh you're playing that game'
'Well news flash bitch I can play it too'
'I swear to you Ashley if you tell anyone, you can't hold me responsible for my actions'
'Maybe I'll get in contact with that boyfriend of yours and'

She didn't read anymore, she jumped off the couch and ran into the bathroom throwing up in the toilet. Tears streamed down her face as the door to her dressing room pushed open, she froze staring at the figure standing at the door, she scrambled to her feet refusing to be a victim anymore but every step he took closer to her the further back she sunk. She walked back until she was against the wall, tears falling from her eyes again 'please don't hurt me' she whispered, the figure grew closer as Ashley sunk back to the floor, finally a hand was placed on her arm and she flinched. 'Ash..' A voice said as the figure knelt down in front of her 'Ashley look at me' shay placed her hands on Ashley's cheeks trying to get her to calm down 'breathe ash, it's okay.. you're fine, you're fine'
