The next thing Ashley knew was that she was sat in Marlene's office. Shay, Tyler, Lucy and Marlene all sat beside her. She looked down at her hands knowing everyone's eyes were on her. Tyler, who was sitting beside her slid his hand into hers and squeezed it gently whispering 'ash..', she looked up slightly 'what?' Tyler looked at Marlene who then looked at Ashley 'sweetie, look I know you don't wanna talk about it but this cannot go on, it's not right Ashley, he can't keep treating you like this' shay looked at Tyler then back at Ashley 'ash look at yourself, you're a wreck, you had a panic attack at me coming in your door, you had a panic attack this morning with luce, you're stronger and better than this but you can't do it by yourself'. Ashley looked up at Lucy and scowled at her 'you told?' Lucy shook her head 'they're not stupid ash, they know' she sighed putting her cast against her head and muttered 'he's gonna kill me if I tell', Marlene shook her head 'Ashley, we can stop him having any contact, there's stuff we can do, you just have to speak up'. Ashley looked up at Tyler and then over at shay who nodded slightly 'you just don't get, he was people, it won't go away' she looked at Lucy in desperation 'Luce back me up' all eyes then fell on Lucy who bit her lip 'I.. I..' Marlene looked at her 'Lucy?' Ashley bit her lip 'sorry luce' Lucy took a breath 'I'll speak if you do?' She was looking dead in Ashley's eyes, she looked around at the three other people in the room before nodding slightly, the girls knew they had to get it sorted, not only for themselves but they knew that if people saw them going through and coming out the other side of something like this then it would help them have the courage to too.
