Two Mates? (On Hold)

Chapter 11~ Cuts

~Ash's P.O.V~

I walked into the kitchen, limping a little. But who cares about pain? I'm finally marked.

I grabbed the milk out of the fridge and poured myself a glass, drinking it all in 2 gulps.

"Good morning," I heard Ash's deep voice and turned around. He yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"Morning," I smiled. I put the milk back in the fridge and walked over to him.

He grabbed my face gently and kissed the top of my head. I wrapped my arms around him, tingles flying everywhere. I never started to notice them until last night and when we met. Oh well.

I rested my head gently on his chest as he rubbed my back. I loved this. All of it.

"My mum is coming today," I whispered quietly, not letting go of him.

"Okai, is she staying here with us?" He asked, rubbing my back gently.

"If that's Okai with you," I answered. "She said that she might not be able to though, she's a busy women."

He laughed a little, "okai, well, if she wants to she can."

We stood there in complete silence, just hugging each other.

I heard footsteps and looked over Ash's shoulder to see Miller coming down the stairs. I sighed and hid my face in Ash's shoulder.

"Are you sure you're alright?" I heard Ash ask again quietly. "Wait...where's your oxygen tank?"

I stayed quiet. Where is it? I don't know.

I shrugged the best I could, "I don't know. But, I don't need it. I'm perfectly fine, okai? There's no pain in my chest."

Lie.

There is pain in my chest, there always is. But, whatever, it can't be that bad, can it?

"Ace, where is it?" Miller growled from behind me.

I shook my head in defeat, "I don't know! I took it off last night but I can't remember where I put it. Does it really matter?"

"Yes, it does matter!" Miller and Ash both yelled at the same time.

I was about to answer, but the front door swung open. I looked over and saw my mum standing there, holding 2 heavy suitcases.

I quickly ran over to her and almost jumped into her arms, hugging her tightly. "Hi baby," she whispered softly, hugging me back.

"Hello Mrs. Jackson," I heard Ash say from behind me.

I stopped hugging my mum and stood beside her, grabbing one of her suitcases.

"Hello," she smiled.

I took her other suitcase and slowly walked upstairs, putting them in the spare bedroom. Then walked into my room, rubbing the cuts on my wrists.

~Ash's P.O.V~

I stood there awkwardly, biting my lip. I heard Miller sigh loudly, "I'm going upstairs."

I nodded a little, "anyway, Mrs. Jackson, I'm Ash, and that is Miller." I pointed to Miller as he walked away.

She nodded and smiled, "please, call me Julia."

I was about to say something when Hope came running in the room full speed, "Ashy! Ashy!"

"What Hope?" I bent down as she ran over to me, hugging my one leg. I picked her up, "what?"

"Ace!" I heard Miller yell from upstairs. "Get your ass back here!"

"That's what," Hope whimpered, pointing towards the stairs.

I shook my head and put Hope down, quickly running up the stairs. I walked up to the bedroom and went in, shutting the door behind me, "what the hell is going on?"

"Look at this!" Miller growled, forcefully grabbing Ace's arms. "Cuts!"

"Yes, I know. They're the ones he got from his dad," I rolled my eyes and walked over to him.

Ace looked down at his feet. What other cuts? I walked over to him and looked at his, seeing cuts along the sides of his arms.
