*Eoghan’s P.O.V.*
We kissed again. Her lips felt so soft, pressing against mine. She was mine, all mine. I pressed her close against me, not wanting to let her go. She was so delicate; I felt I needed to protect her.
Protect her. I should have been there last night. I don’t know who did it, but I had a good feeling it had something to do with Stevie Jones. The way he looked at her yesterday morning.. It wasn’t good anyway.
I took her hand and entangled her fingers with mine. I couldn’t get enough of her. She was so beautiful.. We kissed for ages.
Eventually we broke away from each other. I rested my forehead on hers and looked into her eyes.
“Ash.. Will you tell me who did this to you..?” I was going to kill the guy. I hoped it would be Stevie. He was a man-whore if I’d ever seen one.
“Eoghan.. I.. You’ll just try do something, and I don’t want you to get hurt..” The anger must have shown on my face, oops.
“Sweetie. You’re the one who should be worried about getting hurt! Look at you..” I put my hand under her chin and lifted her face up to mine. “Tell me what’s wrong. Not all of these bruises are new. And.. I saw your wrists..” I hurt me to even think about her hurting herself
Ash pushed my hand away and lay down, turning away from me. She pulled the covers up over her head.
“..can I sleep? I’m..tired.” Her voice was muffled but I heard. I got off the bed and put my hand on her shoulder.
“I guess I’ll..see you later then..” I pulled the covers from over her head. The pillow beside her eye was damp and there were tear marks on her cheeks. I leaned down beside her ear.
“Baby.. You don’t have to talk, just shake her head yes or no. Did Stevie Jones do this to you?” She didn’t move for a moment, then slowly nodded her head. “Ok, go to sleep, I’ll be back later..” I kissed her head gently and stroked her cheek.
I turned to go, and went to the door. As I left, I swear I heard Ash muffle a sob. It took all my strength to not rush back to her, but I had bigger things on my mind.
I was going to find Stevie.
