"I'm Joe Blane Jr, and I'm fighting Ashley Dennings" Ashley's opponent, Joe, has sent us a cringe video saying how he is going to beat Ash at their upcoming fight. 

One thing about Ash is that he doesn't like to fight. He does not want to fight. He wants to please mum, Mark and Niall.. the fighting life isn't him. He already felt a let down as it is, he couldn't admit he didn't want to be a fighter. 

When Ash came out as gay, my family didn't take it too well. Mark and Niall tried to 'change' him. They are both pricks. Mum didn't take it as bad as the boys did. 

I was the first and only person he felt comfortable coming out to. I was so happy for him for feeling brave enough to express himself like this, but also i'm so proud of him for being able to come out and be who he aspires to be in a town like this. You can't hide from anyone, everyone knows everything about everybody. Which is also why im more than sure the news about Erin and Dylan will spread like wildfire. 

Over the past few weeks i've been staying with Vinnie. Dylan has called non stop, pestered me non stop. I can't get rid of him. 

He insists that being with Erin was a mistake and I'm the woman for him, but I have recently discovered he isn't the man for me. It is someone else, and it has always been him. 

"Ashley, you've never fought a man like me before, and as god as as my judge, I'm gonna kill your brain. I'm gonna put you in fucking hospital!"

I roll my eyes and close over the laptop. Mum, Carol, Niall, and Mark look towards me. 

"we aren't seriously gonna listen to that ginger prick now, are we?" I ask my siblings and mother. I feel the more time I spend with my family, my Irish accent comes back. Not that it's ever gone, it's just very strong the longer I'm with them. 

"Ash better fucking kill him, or l'll fucking kill him. He'll be no brother of mine" Niall groans, his head in his hands. 

"Niall? The fuck is that attitude for?" I look at my older brother with a look of disgust. "You know Ash is a great fighter"

"Aw here she comes. Ash's biggest defender" Niall rolls his eyes. 

"just because you're jealous I don't fucking like ye" I point in his face. "you've never EVER supported Ash, neither have you, ya prick" I point to Mick. "at least he has me and Carol"

"its okay love, calm down" Carol gently grabs my hand to pull me away from the situation. "Listen" she whispers as we reach the caravan's door. "I need ye to help me with something"

"Car, if you say Cardi I might actually-" I say, while we exit the caravan. Vinnie and the others, (unfortunately including Dickhead Dylan) have all came down to see us to discuss Ash's fight. 

I had a very long conversation with Erin. I'm never going to forgive her for what she did to me, but Tyler adores me and I need him in my life. Even though Erin done me so disgustingly wrong, I did decide to try and forget about it. There has to be a real reason why she did it, Dylan can be a manipulative prick.

Ever since I lost our baby, I feel like Tyler's gotten a lot closer to me, which also makes it hurt less. Even if I never get the chance to have my own child: Tyler will forever be here. 

"its Cardi, look.. act natural. But I want that boy, Clo" she whispers, putting on a smile as we approach our friends, looking as natural as ever. 

Ash steps out of the van and has the biggest smile on his face when he sees me. He runs over to me and lifts me up, spinning me around.
