descend (v) meaning; move or come down.
"The sun will rise with my name on your lips."
Jax PoV
I had decided to stay over for the night, it wasn't like I had anything better to go do.
I slept on a bed, I was informed it was Danielle's, but I didn't have to worry about her because she rarely came.
I had laid there all night, wide awake and thinking.
I saw the sun begin to rise and I saw it began to color Ash's face with light.
She looked angelic.
Her eyes fluttered open and she whispered my name.
I was never so happy to hear my name, I practically ran to her when she called my name.
"Yes? Ash, what is it?" I am scared she will tell me to leave.
"Hold me." she begs, and I feel her shudder as she cries, I wonder if anyone has ever comforted her.
I began to feel anger rise up in me as I think of her sister that abandons her every single day.
It makes me want to hit her, even if she's a girl.
I was raised as a gentle soul, but I couldn't help but feel myself change. I feel myself descend to a new level and I hold onto Ash tighter, As if we're confused now about who's comforting who.
Ash PoV
we go on like this for weeks, and I find I enjoy waking up to his brown eyes.
I decide we can't live like this.
I don't work.
He doesn't work.
We steal.
And I realize I am no better then Daphne.
"I'm going to find a job." I tell him.
And we do that.

"There was a time when a moment like this, would've never crossed my mind."
I work at a run down gas station near a train station.
It doesn't pay well, but it pays for food.
And that's all we really need.
It also keeps my mind busy.
And it keeps me away from Jax.
They are all benefits.
I can't stay with him anymore.
We aren't good for each other.
And I will tell him that soon.
