Fire And Gold

Chapter 13

Back to Aislyn's POV
When I woke up I looked straight out of the window to find it was already daylight. When I looked around my bedroom for my clock I realized it wasn't my bedroom. While I was trying to figure out how I got here everything that happened last night came rushing back.
       I took a couple deep breaths to try and calm my breathing, trying to blink the tears away. How could Dom do this to me? How could Alex do this to me? I am so done with people who betray me. I am done with trusting people because so far everyone I trust ends up hurting me.
       After about a couple minutes I was able to compose myself. I walked into the kitchen to find a huge area. It was a dinning room and kitchen combined. It was the size of almost two standard classrooms. It was really big with cabinets along the walls and a sink on both a regular a regular counter against a wall and in the middle of the island in the center of the kitchen. They had a huge fridge and freezer that looked like it could hold food for my family for a couple months and still have some left over 
           I did another scan through the kitchen when I spotted someone in here already. When I looked closer I saw, "Vanessa?"
         She is Asher's mom. She loved me ever since Asher brought me here for the first time.
      She squealed and ran over to me and crushed me in a bear hug.
      "Oh Aislyn I have missed you so much. Here let me look at you."
       We pulled apart and she did a little scan, "oh my goodness, you are so beautiful! You have grown up much. "
       "Thank you. I have been able to go to the beach more and stuff. "
      "I bet you all the guys swarm around you like bee's to honey."
      I turned my head a little bit not wanting her to see my face.
     "Oh dear, I am sorry. Asher told me that your best friend and boyfriend screwed up."
      "Ya they did. He replaced me with my best friend. And my best friend, or at least I thought she was, called me stupid. Apparently I wasnt the only one he was with while we were dating. And to think I helped that girl out."
      Vanessa held her arms out, "Come here, looks like you need a mamma Vanessa hug."
      She held me tight for about five minutes till she pulled away.
        "Now, let's get some food in that belly of yours. I bet you are starving."
       "Now that you mention it I am hungry."
       "Good because I made homemade spaghetti."
       "You know me so well."
       As we got our food and sat down at the island we started talking about random stuff.
       "So, how were things while we were gone?"
      "Honestly, I didn't do so well. It took me months to be able to have a good nights sleep. I was just so confused why Asher would do something like that. He knew that Mercy and I never liked each other but yet he cheated on me with her."
       "I know this may sound bad, and I am not excusing him in any means, but he did it for a reason, and it wasn't to break your heart. He could have done thing way differently but that's what humans do, we make mistakes. We learn from them. Trust me dear, I haven't let him forget that day. What he did to you was uncalled for and terrible, but he just did what he thought would save you trouble in the long run. "
         "I know, I just can't help but still want to be near him. I know he cheated on me and broke my heart, but for some reason my heart doesn't care when it's with him. To be honest, Asher's heartbreak was worse than Dom's but the difference is that now I want nothing to do with Dom and I want everything to do with Asher. I don't understand any of this."
         Vanessa was grinning ear to ear, "Oh Aislyn, you will find out everything sooner or later. Then everything is going to fit together."
      We were silent for a couple seconds then all of a sudden a bang was herd and the window in the kitchen shattered. Both Vanessa and I got down on the floor. Vanessa covered me with her body to make sure I didn't get hurt. I always loved how caring she was.
      When we felt it was clear we raised our heads. When we saw the coast was clear we stood up and loomed around.
      "What in the Davy Jones locker just happend?"
      "I don't know. But I will ask Josh if he knows anything."
      When I did another scan of the room I found a note on one of the counters. When I picked up the note, I almost dropped.
Oh Aislyn this is just the beginning. Next time we wont miss. It might not be you it hits, but I will make sure it hits someone important to you deep in the chest. I hope this is a wake up call to you, to let you know you are for from safe little one. Just hope that the next one will cause a painless death and trust me, I have many ways to kill people. Till next time little one.
I dropped the note and held onto a counter to make sure I didn't fall.
        After about five seconds I hear someone barging in the house when I look up I found Asher panting and panicking, looking around frantically. When his eyes laid on mine and his moms, he let out a big breath of air. He came over to us, "Are you okay? I heard the shot ring through and the window break so I ran as fast as I can."
       "We are okay son, but Aislyn here doesn't look too good."
       I was still breathing heavy.
       "Aislyn, what is wrong, are you hurt? "
      I shook my head and pointed at the note on the floor. When Asher picked it up and ready it, I could see his whole body start to shake and his eyes changed color. Okay he was starting to scare me, what kind of person's eyes change color!?
       He loomed over to his mom then dropped the note and ran off. I saw he went to his room and slammed the door shut. I heard a couple crashes and slams.
      "Aislyn, go. He needs you right now."
       I gulp and nodded my head. I slowly stalked towards his room, feeling like with every step there was another thing that broke.
      When I reached his room, I opened the door slowly, little by little. When I got the door opened up wide enough I went in and closed the door. He was standing in the middle of the large room. His desk was beside his bed in a million different pieces and his walk in closet door was broken and clothes were all over. His shoulders were moving up and down. I could see the veins popping out of his arms and neck.
         "Asher?"
        I was scared about what would happen next. He turned around and came coming towards me. When he reached me he waisted no time in giving me a bear hug, wrapping his arms around my waist and burying his face in my neck. He was breathing heavily. When he breathed in, it felt like he was smelling me and almost like magic my smell was calming him.           We stood there for a while, while he calmed down. Once he was clam he rested his head on my shoulder while I ran one of my hands through his hair.
         "Asher, are you okay?"
        "Yes, now that you are here."
        He pulled back and looked into my eyes. He then brought his forehead to mine and held his stare.
       "You will understand the power you have over me Aislyn. You will understand that everything I have done is for a reason. It was all because I was thinking about what would benefit you in the long run. "
       "Asher, if you are talking about you cheating, I forgive you. But I still need an explanation."
       He nodded his head, "Of course, you deserve nothing less. But why do you forgive me. I tortured you in the most brutal way. With what happened at the Coffee Shop, you have no idea how badly I wanted to hurt those two for betraying you in one of the worst ways possible. It was all I could do to hold back. What even made me more angry was that I realized I did the same if not more damage to you. You don't know how badly I regret my decision to do that to you. I am so sorry."
         He started tearing up, "Asher, I forgive you okay?"
        He looked so vulnerable. I reached my hands up to his face. With one hand I was wiping his tears away and with the other I was cradling his face. He leaned his head into my hand.
         "What did I do to deserve someone like you in my life?"
        "Asher don't say things like that okay. Enough with that. You are not as bad as you make yourself out to be."
         He stared into my eyes and what he did next I was, surprisingly, prepared for. He grabbed my face in his hands and he kissed me. It wasn't hard. It was soft and slow and sweet. I pulled his face closer to mine, not being able to get enough if this kiss. He did the same thing to me, deepening the kiss. The force of his lips were a little harder now but his lips were still soft. After about a couple more minutes of kissing we pulled back breathless, leaning our heads against eachothers.
         "I have missed you Aislyn so much."
         "I have missed you too Ash."
          We stayed like that, just holding each other for another half and hour or so.
        "Ash I am really tired, can I go to bed?"
       "Yes. My mom found your phone and already contacted your parents so you are okay. I have to go downstairs and take care of something. I will be back up to check on you in a little bit."
       He covered me up and kissed my forehead. "Goodnight my Angel."
         "Goodnight Asher."
         And with that I fell into a peacful sleep.
