Asher's POV
     "So a week in Cancun? We are so down!" Max said shoveling food into his mouth.
     "Houston and I have no plans so we can go." Josh smiled.
     "Same Lily would be so mad if I said no." Ben nodded and looked over at the littles all sitting together.
     "Okay awesome I am going to call Claire, Wes and Trevor tonight and see what they say." I try to give a smile but by the look of my friends faces I can tell they know there is something wrong.
     "Do you think Savanah will be okay spending a week with Jason?" Josh raised his eyebrow.
     "I feel like it's the lesser of two evils. It's Jason or Aaron, and I rather her be around Jason right now." I sighed feeling the lump in my throat. "Aaron has been so awful since he woke up. Anytime she sees him even just in the hall her face fills with pain. I can't stand to see that look for an entire week. At least with Jason she just gets a little sassy. I can handle sassy, it's the hurt in her face I can't handle." I whisper looking up at the guys seeing concern written all over their faces.
      "She's not the only one hurting Ash. You are too and you're allowed to show it. You don't always have to be so strong. Lean on us and we will hold you up if you need it." I looked up to meet Ben's blue eyes staring into my soul.
     "I know thanks guys." I smile the best I can and finish eating.
     After lunch Savannah and I walked hand in hand to her little class. "Now remember our deal. Stay out of the naughty corner and trouble this week so you can drive this weekend." I say kissing her on the forehead and send her into class. I waited as I watched her walk through the door and sighed. Now it was time for me to go to my classes. I used to love this school now I can't wait to be out of here. It's so hard now with Aaron and I not talking. We had most of our classes together which sucked. Even though we sat on the opposite side of the room it was still hard to see him. I missed my brother dearly but the person he is right now is not the person that I have always loved.
     He was shut off and cold now. He was filled with hatred and despair. He was stuck in the fact that it was all Savannah's fault. It had gotten worse when he started going to visit Payton. She get into his head all too quickly and filled it with lies. At this point even if he did get his memory back I don't know if things could go back to normal. He very well could have burned that bridge with Savannah with the way he has treated her. Payton had convinced him that Savannah had lied putting on a roos about what happened. She said that our friends help to deceive us and tear Payton away from us. Needless to say he has said awful things to Savvy and I didn't let it stand. Hell he and I probably burned our bridge too.
     As I walked into class he was already in his seat. He looked up making eye contact with me and let me tell you if looks could kill I would be burning alive right now. I can't do this today, I sighed shaking my head and turning around. I need a drink stat. I quickly exited the room heading to my dorm. Skipping one afternoon won't kill me. Just don't tell Savannah what I did. Once in my dorm
I went straight to our little kitchen getting in the highest cabinet and pulling out my whiskey. I grabbed a glass and some ice pouring the whiskey in. I felt the bitter burn run down my throat. I sigh and sit down on the couch as I drink my worries away.
     As I work on my third glass I grab my phone and call Trevor.
     "Ash shouldn't you be in class?" He answered the phone in a dark tone.
     "Whoo whoo watch it cuz I am not Hailey. Plus you skip all the time. I heard your Dad talking to my Mom you almost got kick out of your school last semester because if skipping." I rolled my eyes taking another sip.
     "What can I say cuz Senioritis has the best of me." He chuckled and his tone got lighter. "Sorry I was in master mode Hailey got in trouble today in class. She's been sassing off to her teachers."
     "Yikes have fun with that one. Anyways Jason asked if we all would want to go to Cancun for spring break. He has a beach house there."
      "I am good with it let me talk to the others and I will text you back. Quick question though...... Is Aaron coming?"
     "No I don't think Savvy or I can handle a week around him. Honestly that's why I am willing to go. He's going home for break and I don't want to be around him. He is so hateful now."
     "Is that why you're skipping class and drinking so early in the day?"
     I paused and stared at my phone astonished "H..h..how did you know?"
     "You're slurring your words ever so slightly." He sighed over the phone. "Just pace yourself Asher, Savannah doesn't need a Papa that doesn't remember her and also a drunken Daddy."
     "Yes Master." I snap rolling my eyes who does he think he is? Just cause he is my older cousin doesn't mean he is the boss of me.
     "I will text you what everyone else says." He says in a snippy tone and hangs up. About ten minutes later I was on my fourth glass when he texted and said everyone else was down to go. I texted Jason and told him we would go.
     I looked at the time and decided that it would be okay to take a small nap before I had to go pick up Savannah.

Savannah's POV
     It was the end of class and I did my best stay focus all day. I managed to stay out of trouble which had me excited. I was one day closer to the weekend. I just had to be perfect for two more days. I sat and waited as the other littles left one by one. I texted Asher asking were he was and he never answered.
     I finally had enough as my good mood disappeared.
     "Mr. Smith he isn't answering and I am in my big mindset can I please just go?" I pleaded not wanting to be there anymore.
     He looked up and studied my face hard for a minute and then sighed. "Yeah go ahead. Do you have your key to your dorm?"
     I nod "Yes sir."
     "Okay straight to your dorm and no where else understand?" He raised his eyebrow.
     "Yes sir, thank you." I said grabbing my backpack of my hock and headed to my dorm. When I got in I found Asher passed out on the couch with a bottle of whiskey almost empty and a glass on the coffee table. I sighed and went to my playroom as the tears fell down my face. My life had gone in a full circle. I was officially back in hell.

Asher's POV
     I woke up to a pitch black room with my back wanting to scream at me. I groaned as I picked up my phone, shit it was 11:34 pm. I didn't get Savannah from class fuck surely she came home. I got up shining the light in my phone seeing her shoes at the door. Good she came home, she must be in the playroom. I am sure she took the opportunity to stay up past her bed time. I walk into her playroom to find the light off and her laying on the bed in there. I sighed going over and pulling the covers over her, kissing her head.
     Our perfect little world had really gone to hell in a hand basket.
