Save Me ( Keith Powers)

Keith
When I pulled up to Ash's house I didn't see her car so I did like mama Tamela said and didn't leave, matter of fact I went into her house and I sat in the living room until she came home.
Something is wrong with Ashly and I am determined to find out what it is.

Omniscient
After being at her cousin's house Ashly was now heading home. What happened at her mother's house was a big mess and all she wanted to do was take a shower and then lay in her bed and let all today's problems go away.

As she opened the door to her house she stepped in, closed & locked the door and was about to go to her room until she saw somebody's silhouette against the wall making her scream and jump.

"Keith?" She asked while looking at him and then turning on her light revealing him.

"What are you doing here in my house?"

"What happened today at your mom's house?"

"You do know I can call the police and tell them you're trespassing."

"Ashly what is going on? Talk to me."

"There's nothing to talk about. Now let yourself out and leave what used to be Miracle's key on the table."

"Melissa I'm not going anywhere...not until you talk to me."

Ashly looked him up and down and then began to walk away until he spoke.

"Fine then don't speak I'll stay the night and if you don't speak tomorrow I'll stay tomorrow night, don't speak the next day I'll stay the next night. Baby I don't know what's going on but I'm willing to listen and help you if you just talk to me. Please." As he held her from behind he bent down and kissed her neck and then walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

When he walked away Ashly stood against the wall and cried. She cried because she had a lot built in and she was scared to let out. She cried because every relationship she was in was all good and then they all went down hill. She cried because she finally fell in love with a good man but she's scared to let her wall down and let him all the way in. She's not doing all this on purpose it's just her past relationships made her this way and she doesn't know how to let someone love her, even if she knew that someone her whole life.

She dried her eyes and walked into her room and saw that her bathroom door was closed which means Keith is in there.

She opened the bathroom door and took off her clothes piece by piece and then slid the door back and got into the shower behind him.

His hands were on the shower wall with his head down and thoughts racing. When he heard the door being open and felt a presence behind him he didn't bother to look up or back because he knew who it was.

She stood there for a moment and then she wrapped her arms around him leaned her on his back as her tears fell as well as the water from the shower head.

"Keith I'm scared." She whispered

"I'm scared of letting you in and falling too deep for you because of my past relationships. I've been hurt before and I don't want to be hurt again not by my boyfriend and most definitely not my best friend. I need my best friend more than anything."

Keith looked back at her and then pulled her in front of him. He washed her up and then did the same to himself without saying a word to Ashly which made her feel like he was mad and that this was the end of their relationship.

After they got dressed and got in the bed Ashly got on her side facing the wall just staring into space because she had no more tears to let out. While Keith laid down in his spot and pulled Ashly into his arms and kissed the side of her neck and whispered to her.

"Your best friend was here before, your best friend is here now & he will always be here as well as your boyfriend. I love you Ashly and I will never hurt you or put you in harms way. Whatever damage they did to you in the past I'm here right now to fix it and I will always be here for you baby. I promise you I'm not going anywhere. I love you more than Kel loves orange soda and you know that's a lot of love nah scratch that I love you more than I love Halle and Rihanna put together and you know that's a lot of love Halle is the wife and Riri is the mother of the ten kids you won't give me." He whispered making them both chuckled.

"But on the real though baby I love you and I'm always here for you. We're going to heal this broken heart together." He kissed her neck again and cheek after he said that and then he turned on his side falling asleep with his best friend/girlfriend in his arms.

-Y'all probably gon' virtually beat me with all these short chapters I've been giving y'all 😓 and I apologize

-So y'all now know why Ashly was acting the way she was acting. Hopefully Keith can do like he said and heal her broken heart.

-I had this idea in my head for the past two days so I had to add it in here, I had another idea where they was going to be coming from one of JD's shows and one of her ex boyfriends from her high school pops up but I was like nah and y'all know had to add the ten kids part as well as his wife Halle and other wife Rihanna 😂
