ryder
im such an idiot, how could I forget to get her some food! I'm running as fast as I can to the house to get my girl some food. I come barreling into the kitchen and almost knock Jax down. hes at the stove making him some food. "move! I need to make Winter some breakfast shes hungry and I forgot to
feed her!" im in a complete panic about her going hungry I want her to feel safe and well taken care of. not neglected and going hungry.
"RYDER!" Jax yells "calm down. what do you think I'm doing right now?" I look over to the stove and see theres a big plate of bacon, toast, and tons of eggs frying on the stove. "thank goodness one
of us thought about it" I sigh looking down and shaking my head "don't worry so much brother,thats
why theres more than one of us" thank you for that. because apparently if it were just me she'd starve.
I head over to the apartment while Jax is finishing up breakfast to see if winter and Bash want to come to the main house to eat breakfast. we're on our way over when Winter stops and is looking up at something. "whats wrong winter? do you need something?" I follow her line of sight and see shes staring at the attic window and Ash is staring right back at her. "he needs me" she says softly
"im not sure that's such a good idea right now winter. hes going through a little rough patch he
should be fine in a day or so" I assure her. "no, he needs me right now. can you show me how to get to him?" I sigh and lead her towards the house I'm not sure this is a good idea, but if anyone can talk to him and him listen? it will be her.

Ryder brings me inside and insist I eat something before I go to talk to Asher. I refuse and say I will eat when asher comes down to eat with us. I wont be able to enjoy it if I know hes up there all alone. none of them were happy about that but didn't argue with me.now im standing in front of the attic door calming my breath before I go in and talk to asher, hes hurting I can feel it. I don't know how but I can. im talking myself into going in the door when it slings open and im yanked inside.
I lean against the door and stare up at Asher trying to come up with the best thing to say . "what are you doing here winter?" what am I doing here? oh yea, talking him into to coming to have breakfast, hopefully. " I um, well I saw you through the window and you just looked so sad and I could feel you hurting. whats wrong Asher?" he sighs loudly maybe I've overstepped? just as I'm about to panic again he wraps me up in a hug. "thanks for checking on me. I just can't get what you went through out of my head. I should've known. I should've tried harder to find you. I could feel you hurting I just didnt know why"
what does he mean he could feel me hurting? is it like how I knew he was? what is going on here, can we feel each others emotions? I don't seem to feel them with the others. I guess we have some type of special connection. it should freak me out but it doesn't. it seems natural.
"oh Ash, you couldn't have known where I was or what was happening to me." his face is in his hands now and he looks so destroyed "but I could've winter! I should've tried to feel you more! I guess I just always thought that the pain I was feeling was just normal stuff. I should've known better" " what do you mean you could feel my pain? that you could feel me?" his eyes go wide and he thins his lips out like hes trying not to say anymore than he has. "Asher, what do you mean? why can I feel your pain and why can you feel mine?"
