Secrets

Ch.10 The Unexpected

J's P.O.V.

"J, why did you kill him" , Ashley demanded of me. 

I pulled the trigger. I was so mad that he hurt my girl, more mad that he got on the property. 

"Baby, that's not Jasper" , I told her. 

"What.. yes it is, look at him" , She said to me.

"Baby, listen" , I looked down at her. Her sad little eyes. 

Why does she look so sad.

"Baby, what's wrong", I asked her.

"Yo-You killed my best friends boyfriend", She said over dramatically throwing her hands up in the air looking at me like I should know why she is upset about this situation.

"Baby, I put my finger under her chin and lift her face up towards mine, Baby, this was not Jasper, this was his identical twin Jackson. And I know this for two reasons; one, Jasper doesn't have a blackwoods tattoo and two, Jasper is out of town on a special trip for me" , I told her. But I know she wasn't paying attention. After blackwoods slipped off my tongue, I knew she was lost in her mind. 

She turned on her heel and walked away. 

"Baby, I -

"No J, I need some space" , Is all she told me. 

She slowly walked away from me. I know a lot has happened. I know she can be so tough, but I think she has breaking points too. I think my side of Jason came out so quickly, she didn't know what to do. She thought I would've killed Jasper that quickly, but I knew it wasn't him. I would've questioned Jasper. 

Ashley's P.O.V.

He made me think it was still Jasper. He pulled the trigger like is was nothing. Look I'm not saying I haven't done the same, but not where it is one of your own members. He knew and didn't tell me until after. I'm so confused. Why didn't he mention Jasper had a twin? How the hell did he get on my property? Fuck it I thought, I'm going to workout. No, wait...I need to relax, clear my head, and just forget like I do best.

I went for a walk to clear my head. Walked all the way to the barn and up the stairs above the stables to rest my head. That was a lot for me to take in. I know he's Jason McCan.. I knew what I was getting involved in...but...ugh I didn't expect that. But then again I did in a way.. I knew how he was.. well I heard how he was, I knew it was true.. maybe even all of it. I knew he was the most ruthless man alive, I've heard how he trains his men, I've heard about how him and Cady use to be.. But I heard all those things, but then again.. everything people have heard about my gang is basically the truth, if not sugar coated somewhat. But still the look on his face..but it's normal...it's normal for him to be like this... I started pacing, walking back and fourth on this space above the stables called the cozy den. Realizing finally who I'm with, I joined gangs with. Gahhh I swear I can be so stupid and so emotional. Dear the above what is wrong with me lately?

I came up here to clear my head and all I've done is truly thought about who J really is.

"Hey Ashley, What're you doing up there" , Kayla asked popping out of no where scarring the hell out of me, causing me to fall backwards off our damn balcony that lies above the stables with still yet no barrier around it to stop you from crashing down like I just did, except it almost felt like someone had pushed against me at the same time.

"Oh my god Ashley" , I heard Kayla screaming as she raced down the wooden ladder leading to our balcony. 

"Oh dear God, Ashley look at me, stay awake, please stay awake", I heard kayla repeating over and over. 

Kayla's P.O.V.

I saw Ashley wander to the stables hours ago, but she never came out. I know sometimes she goes to the cozy den that lays above the stables to clear her mind... aka overthink. I popped my head back and  looked up, she was just standing there, she looked so lost in her own thoughts, her pacing back and fourth, I didn't realize me slipping in and asking her what was up would cause her to slip off the damn balcony. Damn we need a fucking barrier around this thing. I ran down the hard ground to get closer to her, my emt life started to kick in. But even more so, my best friend was lying on the the stable ground with a cut on the side of her head, barely moving. I swear she's the best at coming to her senses and catch herself, I didn't realize how out of it she was... Wait where did that bruise come from..

I knew the guys where outside training. I ran out of the stables screaming hysterically. Ashley was really fucking hurt, she's in and out of it, her head is bleeding, 'oh my god her head is bleeding', I called our house doctor and told him to get to the house immediately, so many cuts and bruises, I finally stopped screaming when J and some of the others came over. 

"Kayla what's the matter" , One asked.

"Did someone get on the property" , another asked.

"Kayla what's-- 

I cut J off, It's Ashley.. She's really hurt-- I didn't get to finish my sentence.

"Where is she" , he asked.

"stables, she fell-- but once again he was gone again, Ashley is not only Jason's girl, but also A GANG LEADER, if she is hurt, all hell is and will break lose in a matter of moments. Please be okay. Please. Please. Please.

Ashley's P.O.V.

I could hear Kayla screaming, crying maybe even. I tried to get up, but god my head was killing me. 

"Baby, no,no,no, don't move", I heard J say.

"mmm but J, something hurts, let me get up" , I whined. I needed to move, what if there's an intruder. I need to help my men out, I can't just be down.

"No, baby, gah baby what did you do" J said as he held me down by my shoulders. "I'm sorry baby, I know this is going to hurt, but try to stay still.

"No,no,no jayyy, don't do it", I already knew he was going to have to apply pressure to the wound on my head, attempt to move me without hurting me further, let the house doctor stitch this gash on my head up, and ask me about all these other bruises and scratches, but I swear I broke my wrist or something. Maybe both, gahh everything hurts.

As I had thought, he grabbed a cloth and held it down firmly on the gash on my head. The second he did it I tried to stay still and not squirm or cry, but a tear slipped from my eye. Little does he know, there was already a bump on my head right above the cut/gash, I really don't know what it is, it just hurts a lot. My hand shot up trying to push J's off of me. He immediately grabbed my hand and pinned it back down, causing me to cry out in pain. It hurt, gahhh that hurt, I thought my other wrist or arm was fucked up because I couldn't move it, but that really fucking hurt. 

Doctor Chris had finally showed up after what seemed like forever. After carefully checking and making sure I didn't have a broken neck or injured my spine, his men placed me on a stretcher and wheeled me back over to the house. They wrapped something around my head to keep pressure on it. 

"Stay awake, Stay awake" , That's all I heard on repeat. But my eyes were slowly closing. 

When I awoke in our treatment room, there was a very angry looking guy, with his feet propped up on the end of my bed and is slouching back into the chair starring at me. 

"How long was I asleep for" , I asked anybody honestly. My mouth felt so dry. I grabbed the cup beside the bed and drank out of it.

"Baby, you've only been asleep for about five hours and we need to talk", A very mad looking male just told me.

I went to lift my arm up, but wait, I started to think and wonder why are there..why do I have two things wrapped on my wrist, and why are there x-ray pictures posted up there, who is this guy, and why does my head hurt so bad?

"Baby, you fell do you not remember", he asked concerned?

"I wanna lay in my bed please", I asked him.

"Baby you-

"Why do you keep calling me Baby, who are you? where's Cody?"
