He Loves Through a Knife

Chapter 5

    Ashton woke up to the cool air hitting her bare skin. She looked over and noticed Andy was gone. She looked down at herself, she was half naked, this didn't faze her though. She got up and glanced at her clock, 10:47 a.m. Thank god it was Saturday. Stepping out of her room she called for her mom. No response, even better. Ashton walked downstairs to the kitchen and opened the fridge revealing absolutely no food. She sighed knowing she'd have to go the store soon. She walked back upstairs to her bathroom and started the shower. Once satisfied with the temperature she began to take her remaining clothes off and got in. The warm water felt so nice against her naked body. Suddenly she felt cold hands touch her shoulders. She open her mouth to scream but a hand muted her, she held her breath. "Shhh, it's alright, it's only me,"

         Her eyes went wide and she tried to cover herself as much as she could, turning herself away. "ANDY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! GET OUT!!" she yelled. Andy gave a sad-confused look. "Why? Can't a guy take a shower with his girlfriend?" That word, she never thought she'd ever hear from him. Ashton took a deep breath and turned around. Andy smiled softly and kept his eyes at her face. He looked into her green eyes, the water splashing down on them both and leaving little droplets on her lashes. "You know you could of given me a warning before just jumping in and scaring the hell out of me, right?" Ashton said washing shampoo out of her thick and long black hair. Andy grinned, still leaving his eyes at hers.

   Ashton sat on her bed brushing her hair as Andy pulled his clothes on. She starred at him, studying each tattoo and piercing, god he was beauti- "Hey, take a picture, it'll last longer," he said interrupting her thoughts. She blushed and looked down. Andy walked over to her and pecked her lips then smiled. "Want me to help do your hair?" He asked, taking the brush from Ashton's hand. She didn't even get to respond before he already started taking strands of hair braiding, twisting and clipping them. The way his hands ran through her hair felt so good and sent small shivers down her spine, she bit her lip. Once he finished, Ashton's hair was in a side fishtail and had small strands of hair out. She even had tiny braids in the fishtail if she looked closely. "Wow, thank you Andy!" she brought him into a tight embrace. "Anything for my princess," he says and scoops Ashton into his arms. He begins to kiss her cheek then her lips. He stops "Are you hungry?"

They walked down the street to Taco Bell. Ashton hadn't been in so long she was dying to get there. "Come on slow poke!" She called back to Andy. He shook his head and grinned while jogging  to catch up. "Alright, what would you like princess?"  he asked taking Ashton's hand. She stare at the menu, she couldn't decide. "How about I surprise you? That sound good?" he asks. She nods and walks to an empty table. She sat down and waited for Andy.

  She started thinking of Andy and the things they did last night. All the kisses, heated make-outs  and almost having sex. To be honest she craved more of it, more of Andy's shirtless self against her, more almost out of  breath kisses, and more of his lips touching her neck. Oh god she wanted that so badly right now, she bit her lip. "Here you go- whatcha thinkin about Ashton?" Andy asks with a smirk. "Uhh um nothing!" she says quickly. Andy licks his lips and sits down, he moves close to her face. He whispers in her ear. " I know you were thinking about me.." He leans back in his seat and smiles slyly. Ashton opens her mouth but doesn't say anything. The way he said it made it hard for her to think, she didn't know what to do.

After finishing, they decided to walk to park. Andy takes Ashton's hand in his and sits down on the bench. He rubs his thumb along Ashton's. She lays her head on his shoulder and he kisses her forehead. He looks around and notices a group of cheerleaders and football players. He makes eye contact with one of them. "Hey, Princess we should go," Andy says pulling Ashton up. She stands up, confused. "W-why?" They begin to walk away but are stop by a tall figure. Ashton holds tight to Andy. "Where do you think your going?" the guy who looked at Andy says.

  He stands directly in front of them. He gets in his face. Andy moves Ashton behind him, like he was bracing for something to happen. "Fuck off, Brian. We didn't do anything." Brian's light brown hair was combed up and his dark brown eyes were furious. By now the rest of the football players and the cheerleaders are gather around the three of them. "Maybe not her..but you? Yeah, you've messed up this time. Now you're going to pay..." He replies. All of a sudden Ashton is pulled away from Andy and into one of the football players arms. She can't see much of how he looks but she can tell he's tall and extremely buff. Andy freaks. "Let her go, you fucking cunt!" The tall and buff guy begins to pull at her clothes. The crowd has now formed a circle around them and begin to shout.

Andy, who is beyond pissed turns back to Brian. "You fucking bastard!" he pushes him. Brian smirks and throws a punch. Andy dodges and punches him right in the jaw. He falls back, shocked. He was a little more muscular then Andy but looked like a limp noodle lying on the ground like that. He gets back up and is able to punch him back twice as hard. He punches once more before Andy falls back, now he looked like the limp noodle. Brian kicks him in the stomach. He continues to kick and punch him. "ANDY!"  Ashton panics. The guy holding her tries to kiss her neck and shoulder. He pulls down on the sleeve of her shirt and licks her neck. She begins to cry and struggles to get away. Andy looks up and watches this happen while still being kicked, he was livid. He yanks Brian's leg causing him to loose balance. They both stand up, Andy covered in bruises and cuts, his hair a mess while Brian's cheek was now swollen. He rasies his arm and punches Brian with so much force it knocks him out. Andy turns toward the overly buff guy and hits him, making him loose consciousness too. He releases Ashton and she jumps right into Andy's comforting arms. She bawls her eyes out, clinging for dear life to him.

The crowd lays quiet not sure what to do next. They start to scatter off, leaving Andy and Ashton behind. A few other people pick up the unconscious guys, taking them away. Ashton continues to cry into Andy's shoulder. "Shhh, princess. It's alright, I'm here now, shh." he tries to calm her. He moves strand of hair from her face and kisses her forehead. He picks her up like a weightless bride and walks away. "W-where are we going?" Ashton asks. "Shh, don't worry about it princess." Andy responds. Then leaves a kiss on her lips.
