I was standing in my door way and waving good bye to Ashley, before he left he gave me his number and told me to call him if I ever needed something, any time he didn't really mind. Closing my door I sat down on my couch and picked up my phone noticing I had new text messages from Sky. "Oh what does she want?" I thought to myself. Looking through the messages I saw:
"Hey! Did you make it home alright?"
"Sorry, I left ya.."
"Hello?"
"Just please call me"
I sighed and dialed her number,
"Hello?" Sky answered
"Hey" I said
"Did you make it home okay?" She asked
"Do you really want to know?"
"Of course"
"Well, I was attacked, beaten and almost raped, but I was saved my Ashley Purdy, remember him?... Well anyway thanks for not being there, and leaving me to hook up with some guy"
"Adriana.. I'm so.."
I hung up on her, I wasn't in the mood for her bullshit, I turned off my phone and tossed it aside. Going to my kitchen I poured myself a glass of water and took two more pain killers. I figured I might as well go and clean myself up. I walked into the bathroom and I turned on the shower and I took off my clothes and set them on the counter. After I took off my underwear, I realized I had more bruises. I fought back tears of anger and pain and stepped into the shower. I washed my body top to bottom, but there still was no way of ever getting the feeling of that horrible man off of me. I must of been in the shower a good hour or two, because soon the water began to run cold. So I stepped out and grabbed a towel, drying myself off. I dressed and decided to let my hair dry naturally, I didn't really care. I looked at the clock and it said "4:30" I guess that meant I had to go eat something. I was so hungry. I made myself a sandwich and I sat down in front of my tv and began to watch whatever was on. Getting bored I decided to turn on my phone. I had about five missed calls from Sky and about fifty apology text from her. I sat my phone down on the end table and I began to doze off.
About two hours later, I was startled awake by a sound. Not knowing where it came from I sat up and looked around my living room and the hallway, but I couldn't see anything. But then again I heard another sound. Jumping, I felt my heart racing and I walked into my bedroom slowly and I saw a figure standing in my room. I was paralyzed with fear as the figure ran out of my room out the open window. I ran for the window and closed it shut, making sure to also lock it. I began to cry, this wasn't happening. Not two nights in a row. I ran into the living room and grabbed my phone and I called Ashley.
Ashley's POV
"Hey! Man your phones ringing!" Jinxx called out, I got up from the tv and picked up my phone noticing it was Adriana, I smiled.
"Hey! How's it going" I said picking up the phone
"Ashley.." She spoke with a shaky voice
"Yes? Is everything all right?"
"No Ashley, someone was in t-the house, I'm okay, but I'm so s-scared"
She was crying and I hated that "Okay, I'll be over soon, don't worry, just sit there until I get there"
"Okay Ashley"
"Be safe" I said hanging up the phone and grabbing my jacket and keys, leaving practice early I didn't care. I had to make sure Adriana was okay.
Adriana's POV
I closed the phone, and sat back in my seat. I was shaking and I was about to have a panic attack, but I kept telling myself; everything's going to be okay, Ashley will be here soon. About ten minutes after the call, I heard a knock at the door and I got up. Opening the door I embraced Ashley and I just let the tears fall as he held me. He smelt amazing, with the mix of cologne and leather. He made me feel so safe and protected. "It's okay," he whispered to me "I'm here now," I let go of him and let him inside and we both sat on my couch and he looked at me and said "You're way to beautiful to cry," he brushed some hair out of my face. "But, Ashley.. That's all I know how to do," "What do you mean?" He asked I sighed and said "I've been fighting battles, almost all my life." With one look I knew, Ashley knew what I was talking about.
