Shay's POV

It has been exactly 14 days since the 'little incident' at the amusement park, and I'm still trying to get my shit up. I know I'm to shallow to be affected like this since what he did was only to touch me but it was still traumatizing as hell.

After the gunman was taken down (which I don't know how he was taken down up to now) I found myself on the ground sobbing uncontrollably, suddenly a pair of arms held me where I felt the safest. Only later I realized that it was Ashley who was holding me.

"Boo!" my trance was disturbed by a very annoying and bubbly person who is standing at the foot of my bed right now, Lucy.

"HA! I got you didn't I! Got you a whole box of pizza by the way, I know it will keep your spirits up." The brunette winked at me and gave me a smile.

"Oh Luce! What would I do without you?!" I said dramatically as I grab a Hawaiian pizza.

"You are most welcomed my dear. So...wanna tell me what you thinkin' about earlier?" she wiggled her eyebrows at me while I give her the most convincing confused look I have.

"Whatever do you mean my dear?" I asked her innocently using the same voice she did earlier.

"Oh don't play dumb with me! Are you still thinking about that perverted-jerk face, who is undeniably disgusting and vile! You know what I think a life-sentence imprisonment is not enough for him! HE SHOULD BE HANGED BY THE NAME OF ZEUS AND FED TO CERBERUS!!!"(No offence to criminals) Lucy shouted all over my pizza which is now covered with her saliva. Thanks Luce!

"Whoa! You read too much mythology, Luce." I said putting down the now covered saliva pizza. She sighed in frustration looking at me with worry.

"Are you sure you're alright though?" she asked again calmly.

"Of course! Just the thought of that guy behind bars already gave me a relief. Hopefully he can't hurt anyone while he's there." I said while looking at my feet.

"Yeah...thanks to Ashley he was taken down. I can't believe Ashley was able to take down a 6-foot tall man with a bat! I meand I didn't even know she can swing a bat!" Lucy laughed at her own stateme- WAIT WHAT????!!!!!!

"Ashley was the one who took the guy down??!!!" I asked her in shock.

"Yeah of course!" she said it like it was the most obvious thing on the world.

"You wouldn't just expect the man to collapse on the ground while in the middle of doing a crime and wait for the police to take him, right?!" Lucy exclaimed with a bit of sarcasm in her voice. I ran my hand through my hair and stood up pacing back and forth.

"Oh God! Don't tell me she didn't tell you, that stupid girl!" Lucy said face-palming herself.

Ashley's POV

I shivered as I felt the cold water run through my body, tiny droplets of water going down in my skin. I can feel the steam and the comfort of the shower but not the kind of comfort when I held her.

14 days, it has been 14 days since I've touched her, It has been 14 days since I've seen her at her lowest, 14 days since I last talked to her. I don't know what happened after the incident how it ended up like this. It all happened to fast, the cops , the killer , the interrogation. All those past days was a blackout to me like I couldn't remember a single thing after I held her in my arms.
