I Love You #mashley

The man with a knife

~ Ashley's POV ~

Bored isn't enough to describe how bored I am. Mitch and Jerome we're recording some hunger games and I had absolutly nothing to do. I've already uploaded today video and had pre recorded some others. I was not sure what Lachlan was doing. Carefully I walked to his room and heard him record something, not sure what. Should I scare him? Quietly I tip toed over to him and when he least expected it I yelled. He flew backwards out of his chair while I was laughing.
"Why, why Ashley?! Just why?" He asked starting to laugh too but were still chocked.
"I was bored and Mitch and Jerome were recording so.." Lachlan cut me off.
"..well I was recording too!"
I just laughed even harder.

Lachlan sat back up in his chair and I sat down on his bed.
"So, let's talk about you and Mitch" He smirked while I sighed.
"What about us?" I asked smiling back.
"You're really cute together but if you hurt him.." He said still smiling but a bit of seriousness in his voice.
"Shouldn't it be Jerome saying these kind off things? You know Benj and Bacc, Merome and all those kind of stuff" I laughed.
"Yeah, but I've been friends with him so long and don't want him to get hurt"
"I would never hurt him on purpose" I said back serious. I heard the door creak and Lachlan said:
"Mitch, I know it's you"
Mitch came in and blushed a bit, and so did I. Did he hear everything I said?
"I'm going to get some pizza, I just thought if you wanted to come?" Mitch said to break the awkwardness.
"I'll come" I said and walked with him out of Lachlan's room.

When we were driving to the pizza place Mitch suddenly asked:
"Did you mean it?"
"Mean what?" I answered even if I knew what he talked about.
"What you said earlier" He continued and didn't take his look off the road.
"Of course" I answered putting my hand over his. He finally looked at me and smiled really large. I leaned over to kiss him and so did he. Totally forgetting that we were in a car and that Mitch was driving the car.

Before our lips touched I heard a car horn and looked at the road. A truck was about to crash into the car.
"Watch out!" I streamed and Mitch took the car weel and turned it. We were going right into the truck. I closed my eyes, too afraid to watch what was going to happen. But the crash never happend. I opened my eyes and Mitch managed to go past the truck without hitting it and now he continued to drive as nothing.
"We.. We didn't crash?" I stammered shocked.
"No, but it was close" Mitch said just as shocked as I.

We stopped at the pizza place and waited a bit before we got out of the car. Did we actually almost crash?
I couldn't belive it, the thought of that we almost crashed sounded so.. Unbelievable.
"You ok, Ash?" Mitch suddenly said. Ash, he had never called me that before. I liked it. I took a deep breath before quietly saying: "Yes"

I sat down while we waited but Mitch stood up. We had ordered four pepperoni pizza. I heard someone come in the pizzeria and looked to the door. Mike. I got up and stood next to Mitch. When he saw me he walked right over to me.
"Ashl.." He began but Mitch cut him off.
"What do you want? Are you here to make her drunk again?"
"I wanted to apologize for what I did" He continued looking at me.
"Apologize for making her drunk and.." I saw Mitch take a step forward. He was angry, I could tell. I took his shoulder and pulled him back.
"Calm down" I whispered to him but he still looked angry. Instead I took a step forward.
"Why did you do that?" I asked putting my arms crossed.
"I was drunk, please forgive me. At least let me buy you a coffee sometime" Mike continued.
"She's not going anywhere with you" Mitch said annoyed.
"I just want to talk, let me make it up to you.." I sighed. He seemed to be sorry for what he did. Should I forgive him?
"Tomorrow, 3pm at starbucks. But only to talk, and as friends" I said and took Mitch's hand to show him that I had a boyfriend.
"Thank you so much Ashley" He said and then walked out of the pizzeria.

"You're not actually going?" Mitch said worried when we drove back home.
"He want to make up for what he did" I said and sighed. Sometimes Mitch could be too protective.
"Fine, then I'll come with you" He said.
"No, I'll go alone"
"At least let me drive you there!" Mitch continued and then I gave up.
"Fine"

We came into the house and Mitch yelled: "Pizza Delivery" Jerome and Lachlan ran downstairs like two kids on an christmas morning.
"Finally!" They both said while taking a pizza box and opened it. We walked into the livingroom and sat down.
"We should watch a movie" I said and they all nodded.
"Which?" Jerome said.
"Because Lachlan just got here, he get to choose" Mitch said smiling. Lachlan got up and took a horror movie and put it in. We all took a slice of our pizzas when it began. I could totally get use to this. If I only could stay here forever.

When the movie was half way through the pizzas where gone. I was thirsty and stood up to get something to drink.
"Where are you going?" Mitch asked.
"Just getting something to drink"
I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. I found a coke and took it out. WhileI was pouring the coke into my glass, something felt wrong. I took my glass and started to walk back, when I felt like somebody was watching me. I turned around and saw the man with the knife stand at the window. I screamed out loud and dropped my glass that fell into a thousand pieces.

Lachlan, Mitch and Jerome all came to the kitchen running.
"What's wrong?" They asked worried. I pointed at the window but now he was gone.
"There's nothing there" Lachlan said and looked out.
"He, he, he was right there.. I swear" I stood there shaking of fear and stammered and was terrified.
Mitch came over and held me.
"Who?" Jerome asked.
"A man.." I whispered. "A man with a knife.." I felt my tears run down and I hugged Mitch.
"Let's go upstairs" He said and lifted me up, and carried me. He put me down on his bed.
"Mitch, don't leave me. Stay here. I don't want to be alone"
It was the third time I've asked him to stay since I came here. I just felt so safe when he was around.
"I'll stay, just get some sleep now" Mitch said while "petting" me on my hair. I finally started to calm down and I soon was a sleep.
