In Our Blood

Chapter 40

After leaving the cafe, Ash and I walked to a park near by. Ash sat herself on the grass and I slowly sat down next to her, wincing at the pain. She gently touched cheek that was covered in foundation. She sigh slightly. I glances at Ash and say " Did you also crash into a pole", i chuckled slightly. She smiled what seemed to be a weak smile and muttered "I-I guess, but I'm fine. Nothing I can't handle." She rubbed the back of her neck and winced slightly.maybe her neck has been hurting.

We chatted for awhile and I told Ash that we should go to my house and maybe work on the project for school. Even though I guess we were both now suspended for a couple weeks. We arrived at my house and went up to my room. I sat on my bed and pulled out the project. We worked on it for what seemed like hours and hours, but at around 12pm I hear someone knock on the front door. Going down stairs, I cautiously go up to the front door. I never get any visitors or solicitors at my house. So the sudden knock at the door really threw me off.

After getting to the door, i take a deep breath and open it. Standing in front of me was that guy that Ash left with. I had an off feeling seeing him at my doorstep. " can i help you? " i asked, a slight bit of nervousness lacing my voice. He smirks down at me and says " is Ash here? I need to talk to her about something important". I bite my tongue, the off feeling growing even worse in my gut. Slowly i shook my head no. " she's not here, i saw her at the cafe a few hours ago. And by the way it would be much appreciated if you get off my property " i say, trying to sound calm. He glares at me as i started to close the door....hoping that he would just leave.
