Chapter Seven

   I stared at him blankly, gulping every two seconds. 

   "What are you doing here? You have school," I said, now managing to sit up. Asher walked in and took Garrison's spot while Garrison left to room, making me frown. 

   "I should be asking you the same thing," he replied, a smirk on his lips. I rolled my eyes. 

   "I asked you first," I said, now sounding like a five year old. 

   "Yeah. Okay, fine. I got in a fight with Alex because I was talking to you," he said, briefly explaining the situation. I will get the whole thing out of him later. "Now your turn." 

   "I skipped school to go on a drive with Garrison so we could talk. I got a panic attack and we almost died. There happy?" I asked sarcastically. 

   "Very--" he started, gripping the bed. "Now, would you like to explain why I have to keep getting into these fights with this Alex guy?" I rolled my eyes. 

   "No. Getting into those fights are your choice, not mine. I don't tell you to fight him, and I surely didn't tell you to do it today," I replied bitterly, biting my tongue. 

   "Yeah, well it's called protection. If I don't do it who will? All those people who hate you?" He asked, making me breath heavily. 

   "What happened between Alex and I is none of your business and I didn't ask you to protect me. I don't need your protection," I spit. He rolled his eyes. 

   "Yeah, right. Like you can take him. He can do anything he wants to you and you couldn't do anything about it!"

   "I can handle myself Asher! I don't need you!" 

   "Yeah, you do!" He yelled, loud enough for the whole hospital to hear it. "I just want to know what happened between you two." 

   "That is none of you business, I am never telling you," I said and he scooted closer to me. 

   "Fine. You don't have to tell me--"

   "Good--" 

   "Garrison will--"

   "Haha, funny joke," I said with a fake laugh. 

   "He will."

   "He's my brother, he wouldn't back stab me," I said, thinking about when Garrison left me. 

   "Well, he did it pretty well the first time," he said, making my jaw drop. 

   "He told you?!"

   "He told me everything. Everything besides that little Alex thing, but I'll get it out of him. I have a plan," he said, making my anger boil inside of me. 

   "He won't do that," I said, trying to keep my cool. 

   "Yeah, he will. All I have to do is tell him that you wanted him to tell me because you were afraid of having another panic attack," he explained. That's when I lost it. 

   Asher doesn't get to waltz in here and think he gets to know all my secrets. I don't even know his middle name; he isn't going to know my Alex secret. Garrison won't tell him...right? 

   "I will never speak to you again," I said, taking a deep breath. 

   "I don't need you to. All I have to do is pop up at random times when you need my protection and then you will fall for me. Easy." He started towards the door. 

   "I will never fall for you, Asher Cole!" I yelled, just before he waltzed out. 

   Garrison won't tell him...right? 

***

   I sat on my bed and looked around. The only question, or thought, that has flooded through my mind was, Garrison won't tell him, right? Asher doesn't deserve to know, even if he does keep fighting my battles. 

   I don't ask him to fight for me, or stand up for me at all. I can handle myself....can I? Yes, yes I can. I have done it before, I can do it again. I don't need Asher or his fists. I can get myself out of trouble with words. Can I? 

   Will Alex budge? 

   I have no clue, but I guess we will find out because I don't think Asher will be getting into my business for a while, if not, at all, and I am glad...Maybe...

   Dear Nobody,

Well, I just got home from the hospital and after my fight with Asher, all I want to do is sleep. I can't handle him thinking he is batman because he isn't. I also hate that he thinks he can fight Alex for me, which I didn't ask him to do, and think I will spill all my secrets. 

Based on Asher's personality, I am sure he has secrets that he isn't telling me, so why do I need to tell him. 

I can handle Alex on my own...right? 

Garrison didn't tell him...right? 

   Sincerely,

-Elle
