I ran over to Ashley's apartment, pissed off at my father for getting drunk again. Going to his door and knocking on it, he opened the door and saw me crying. He took me in his arms and I wrapped my arms around his neck as I was held closely to him, my feet off the ground.
"Babe what happened?" He asked me.
"My dad got drunk again and started screaming." I told him, burying my face in his shoulder. He was two years older than me, so he was 20. I had just graduated high school a month ago. He basically carried me into the house and shut the door. "Ash I can walk." I told him, trying to get down.
"You ran here, at least I think you did. I can carry you, I don't mind." He told me, kissing behind my ear.
"These are reasons why I love you Purdy." I told him, kissing him softly.
"And these are reasons why I love you Y/L/N." He kissed me back and then smiled, my tears now gone.
He set us both down on the couch and I could tell he was thinking of something as we were cuddling, but I didn't know. He was staring off into space.
"Ashley?" I asked him. He sat up, as I sat up with him. "What's wrong?" I asked him, worried.
"Will you move in with me?" He asked me, looking at me worried.
"You really want me to move in with you?" I asked nervous.
"I know the way your dad treats you and i don't want you to have to deal with him. Last year on your birthday I almost asked you to move in but then your dad came in and ruined everything." He told me.
"Of course." I told him, smiling. He kissed me and brought us back down so I was now on top of his chest again.
"You mean more to me than you know." He whispered in my ear, then kissing the area behind my ear. He caused me to blush and curl up to him even more.
"I love you too much Purdy." I told him giggling.
"And I love you for it." He told me kissing me softly.
Once we woke up, we heard banging on his-I mean our door. Once we both got up, Ashley opened my door and my dad was there.
"Where the fuck is Y/N?" He asked, I could smell the alcohol on breath.
"She's right here." Ashley told him.
"You're coming home with me!" He yelled, grabbing my arm. I broke free and Ashley grabbed me and took me behind him.
"Don't you fucking realize that's she's afraid of you? Don't you realize that she's an adult? She has her own life and she's come to me crying about shit that you've done to her. She's living with me, Mr. Y/L/N you've treated her like shit and I'm not letting it happen anymore." He told him, which caused my dad to slam the door and leave.
"Ash I'm sorry." I told him, wrapping my arms around him.
"Babe, it needed to be said. Come on, I'll make you breakfast and then we'll get your stuff." He told me, kissing me.
"I know Ash. I love you." I told him, kissing him passionately.
Two years later
"I do." He told me, slipping on my ring.
"And with the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The priest said. We kissed and he picked me up, causing me to smile.
"We made it." Ashley whispered. Then kissed me again.
"Yes we did."
