Wouldn't Want To Have It Any Other Way (IM5 fanfiction)

Chapter 2: Eavesdropper

ASH'S POV

"Holy shit!" I yell. I run down the stairs and practically run over Will. Meaning, I am awkwardly laying on top of him. "Oh....uh........sorry."

"MARCY!!!!!!!" I yell at the top of my lungs. She runs up to me and grabs my shoulders, shaking me.

"Whaaaaaaat?" she complains.

"I was eavesdropping like the naughty little girl that I am and PASIA HAS A FREAKING TUMOR IN HER LEG! SHE TOLD COLE BUT SHE DIDN'T EVEN TELL US!"

"What!?!?!" she says.

"I CANT BELIVE THIS!" I screamed. "She trusts Cole more then us!"

"Ash. Calm down, okay? I'm sure she had a good reason, other than trust, not to tell you," Will says to me, putting a hand gently on my shoulder. I take a deep breath and don't say anything else.

"Oh my god," Marcy says.

"What?" he asks.

"You got Ash to listen to you and you didn't even have to repeat yourself. That's never happened before," she says. I blush a little. I can't be falling for him. I just can't. I can't get broken again. Marcy leaves so it's just me and Will standing there.

"Maybe we should call it a night?" he asks me. I hug Will as tight as I can.

"Please help me! I can't take it anymore! Help it stop! Please!" I sob into his shoulder.

"Help what stop?" he asks me.

"I..... I've never told anyone about this, so swear you'll never tell?" he nods, "I have nightmares every night. They're all the same. Always my ex boyfriend touching me and trying to rape me and telling me we are right for each other. I scream in the middle of the night. The girls know it, but you guys don't. I don't know what you could do, but please? Help me?" I ask desperate for help.

"Okay..... I'll try, I guess, but I don't know what I could do," he says. I'm head over heels for this boy, as much as I hate to admit it. I am. I don't know what he could do either, but I feel like he's the only one that can help. "I'll come into your room if you start you know, screaming or something, okay? The change in surroundings might help," he says. I nod and make my way to my room. I eventually fall asleep, then wake up to someone shaking me.

WILL'S POV

"Ash! Ash, please get up! You're doing it! Please stop!" I say, shaking her and trying everything I can to get her up. She sits up abruptly and looks at me. She wraps her arms around my neck.

"Oh Will. It was worse tonight! It was longer! Usually someone stopped it after a while but it just kept going!" she says.

"Shhhhhh. It's okay. Calm down. I'll stay in here until you can fall back asleep, okay?" I ask. She nods and lays back down. I sit there, stroking her hair when I hear her breathing grow steady. I look down to see her asleep. I just can't let her have the same nightmare again. I get under the blankets, hoping I won't wake her up. She turns over and wraps her arms around my stomach and rests her head on my chest. I wrap my arms around her and soon fall asleep. *click* I hear. I wake up and grab my pillow, covering my face with it. There are other people in here. I can tell. I tighten my grip around Ash and she does the same.

"Did you just post that on Twitter?" I think Pasia says.

"Yep," Cole, I'm pretty sure, responds. Ash grabs the pillow from on top of me and sits up.

"Oh, shit!" Marcy and Pasia say, running out of the room.

"I suggest you follow the ladies' example," Ash states plainly. The guys run out of the room as fast as they can. I chuckle and Ash gets back into the bed, grabbing her phone.

"Aren't you going to try to sleep more?" I ask.

"Nah. No point. After I've slept for more than four or five hours and woken up I can't get back to sleep," she says. She looks at her phone and smiles.

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing," she says, trying to hide the phone screen from me.

"What is it?" I ask again. She laughs and shows me her phone. A picture if me, shirtless, and Spongebob licking me.

"Aw, really? I hate that picture! It's so disturbing!" I say. She laughs and looks back to her phone.

"Check out Cole's most recent tweet," she says, thrusting her phone toward me. I look at the picture. It's me and Ash sleeping with each other. I have my arms around her waist and her's are around my neck. Our heads are facing toward each others', only a few inches away. I look at the caption. 'Looks like Will and Ash are warming up to living with each other pretty quickly! #Wish'. Wish? Ship name, I guess. I look and there are thousands of responses. I see at least a hundred '#Wish' in a row.

"Looks like the people want us together," I say. She stares into the open for a bit.

"I need some fresh air," she says.

"Okay? Want me to come with?" I ask.

"Thanks for the offer, but I really need some time to think," she says, walking out of the door.

ASH'S POV

I somehow leave without being followed or asked questions. I couldn't care less about fresh air. Even their fan base wants us together! I don't know if I do, though. Will's great and everything, but I don't want to, no, can't get hurt again. Not like last time. You can beat the crap out of me and I won't give a damn. I'll just beat you up. I just can't handle being emotionally tormented. Elijah, my ex, asked me for sex once, and I didn't give it to him. We hadn't even broken up before it happened.

~Flashback~

I refused to give him sex so he stormed out of my house. The next day, I get to school, only to see him sucking another girl's face off. It's not like he was trying to get out of it. He had her pinned against the wall. He was holding her hands against it. He was kissing her hard. He moved one of her hands into his other so he was holding both with one. With his free hand he started to wander around her chest. He stopped after he grabbed her...... well, I think you get the picture. After I couldn't stand it any longer, I spoke up.

"YOU BASTARD! I HOPE I NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN! YOU ARE SICK, DISGUSTING, A PLAYER, AND AN OVERALL B****! STAY OUT OF MY LIFE! WE'RE DONE!" I spat at him. He didn't even look at me. He broke and mumbled against her lips, "I could never love you anyway. I wanted your body, not you." Then he started to swallow her again.

~End of Flashback~

How could he do that to me? I loved him, but I wasn't going to give sex to someone I wasn't married to. I refuse to do that. I can't do that to myself again. I can't be with Will. Not yet. Probably not ever. I have too much emotional trauma in my life already.

Another somewhat cliffhanger, just for you. There you go. You got Ash's semi-tragic love story. Hope you've liked it so far. Do you think she should or shouldn't be with Will? Why? I kinda need to know what you think for later in the story. :) ~Jeni (Ash)
