One day I had come back home and got a call from the sheriff's office. It was about Scott. Apparently, he wanted to talk to me.
I was sort of was reluctant to go talk to Scott. I mean, hello! He tried to fucking rape and kill me. Who knows what he wanted to talk to me about.
As I pulled my car into the County jail parking lot, Ash and Destiny went completely silent. It was like the entire prison had this evil aura to it, it chilled us all to the bone.
When I turned off the car's ignition, Destiny and Ashton climbed out. I, however stayed put in my seat. I was trying to keep my head in all this but honestly, behind the strong woman I am is a frightened 10 year old girl.
Ashton poked his head back into the car. You can barely see his blonde highlights now, it's mostly brown.
"You ok?" He asked me, raising an eyebrow.
I sucked in a sort of shaky breath, "Yeah, let's just get this over with."
************
"Inmate 502831004 please come into the visiting area you have a visitor" the lady's voice seemed to pierce through me as it rang out through the prison.
The nervousness I had felt earlier had turn into impatience. I just wanted to get this over with and done.
I saw him walk in with two police guards. They sat him down in front of the glass then brought the other inmate out. This was the visitor room for multiple people to visit one inmate.
Scott's hair was almost gone now, since they had shaven his head just 2 months back. His eyes were redder than usual around his irises. Not in a tired way, more like an evil way.
He gave me a crooked smile "Jasmine. You got my invite?"
I just glared back at him. "What do you want Lucifer?" [For those who don't know Lucifer is the name of the devil. If you don't believe in the devil I apologise.]
He threw his head back and laughed insanely. "Oh, so now your calling me names? And I thought you were the mature one."
I slammed my hands on the desk in front of me. "What do you want?!?"
"Well, I thought that I should tell you," he started, drumming his fingers on the desk. "Since I'm stuck here for the rest of my life that I wasn't working alone."
I froze, my eyes wide. Ashton and Destiny took over the interrogation.
"What do you mean 'you weren't working alone?'" Destiny said,looking At him in confusion.
He smirked. "Do you really think that I would be able to find her by myself? I had a little help from an old friend."
Ashton glared at him "Who in their right mind would help you?"
"Someone who has a bigger grudge than I do." He began to laugh hysterically. At this point the officer had returned to take Scott back to his cell and was standing up Scott.
I couldn't stand it any longer. I pounded on the glass which startled everyone"How many other people were there?!?!!" I demanded.
Scott smirked at me. "3 others. And they all have a grudge against either you or lil Ashy."he said teasingly, putting on a baby voice as he said 'Ashy'. Before the officer took him out of the room he yelled "And one of them is pretty pissed at you both!!!!"
Ash and I stared at each other. Oh shit. Just what we needed after we had finally decided to start over. A target on our heads by our past.
As we walked back out of the prison and to our car, Ashton brought me into a hug.
"Don't let him get to you babe." He said, running his fingers through my hair. Tears began to stream down my face into his chest.
Why was MY life messed up? Why was I getting put through hell? This doesn't make any sense!!!
"Hey," he said lifting my chin up so I could look up into his ocean blue eyes "how about you come with me to get my hair rebleached? Maybe that'll get your mind off all this."
I nodded and then handed my keys to Destiny, whom drove us home as I laid my head on Ash's shoulder. Thoughts racing through my head.
*********************************
As Ash and I walked through the front door if Danny's apartment, all of my problems seemed to put themselves in the back of my mind.
To be surrounded by friends again put my mind at complete ease. And with Ash's fingers intertwined with mine, the whole world was at peace.
Before they even started the bleaching, Ash asked me to keep holding his hand through the entire thing, apparently this can get a bit painful.
"Just promise you won't let go." Ash said, before sitting in the chair where Danny would bleach his hair.
I nodded and smiled. "I promise."
When Danny began to apply the bleach, Ash grasped my hand tightly. His face seemed to be put into a painful state. I felt my blood flow began to be cut off from my hand but I didn't care. Ash was in pain and I had promised not to let go. I never wanted to let go.
When it was all over, he looked exactly like he did when we first met. Blonde with brown hair peeking out in the back. He smiled at me, relief spreading across his face. I giggled stupidly.
He drove me home in his car, but before we got out of the car he gave me a necklace with a crown as the pendiment.
"This will show your my princess." He said kissing my forehead.
As he walked me back to my apartment, he pulled me in for a kiss as we reached my door. I didn't refuse. I never refuse a kiss anymore.
When he pulled away he spoke softly "Nobody will ever come between us. I promise."
But I looked up at him worry going through my mind. "But what if they try to hurt us?"
He leaned his forehead against mine. "They'll have to kill me before I ever let you slip away from me again."
