Riley's POV

I look up at a pained and worried looking Ash. How did i get here? The last thing I remember before the darkness over took me was Ash.

--Flashback--

Ash and Noah run over to where I'm swaying in the corner. Ash sits me down on the floor and kneels beside me.

"Tilly,  come on.  Don't do this here. Don't do this now. Just relax. I won't hurt him. Please, just don't do this. Not again. " he begs, sounding scared.

"I-i can't stop it this time." I whispers. "I-" I dont get a chance to finish as my eyes shut and the darkness swallows me.

--End of flashback--

Oh god, what have I done this time? I think to myself.

"W-what-What happened? What did i do?" I tighten my hands around something. I look down when I feel the blade cut through my skin. My eyes widen as my hand starts to sting and blood seeps out of the self-inflicted wound.

"Shit, Tilly!" Ash hisses. I look up at him.

"What did i do?"

"You didn't do anything."

"Promice?"

"I promice." He kisses my forehead and takes the kitchen knife away from me.

I look over to my left and see twelve traumatised boys and a crying Noah. He's staring at me with wide eyes as silent tears fall from his face.

You did this to him! You should have let it take over. You-we need this! You did good not to let go. You protected us. We're getting better at this, we didn't go far and no one got hurt. Exept us.

My inner voices are starting to really annoy me. They don't help at all. If anything they make my life a living hell.

"What's happening to me? Why does this keep happening? Is this why she hates me?" This has to be why my mother hated me. There's no other explanation.

"She doesn't hate you. She just. . . scared." Ash says soothingly.

"Scared of what? Ash, what's happening to me?"

He shakes his head. "We're not talking about this right now. I'll clean your hand and then take you back to the hotel. Just because I'm not beating him doesn't mean i don't want to. If you don't want me to loose my shit, I suggest we get going." He growls through a tight jaw.

"Fine." I whisper.

**************************************************

After Ash cleans and bandages my hand he strides angrily over to his car. I stay inside.

I look up at Noah who has now stopped crying and is looking down at me like I'm the most precious and breakable thing in the world. He makes me feel loved and cherished. I swallow the lump in my throught.

"I love you." I whisper, looking down. "I'm sorry I did this. Today was meant to be special and I rewind it. I embarrassed you. I'm sorry." I mumble at my shoes knowing he heared every word.

He cups my face with his hands, making me look into his gorgouse orbs. He's too good for me.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, you could never embarrass me Princess. Ok, so today didn't go as planned and yeah, your brother probably would, and will still, kill me. But I got to spend the day with you and that's all that matters to me."

He called me Princess! Oh my god!

"Princess?" I smile.

He blushes. "Yeah. You're my princess." He smirks.

I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him down into a kiss. It's not forceful and needy and passionate like it normally is. This kiss is soft, sweet and loving, just like him. I smile against his lips when I hear a car horn honking.

We reluctantally pull away,  both smiling. I place my lips inches away from his ear and whisper, "I love you. I love you. I. Love. You." I bite his earlobe and tug his hair a little. He lets out a low growl, making me laugh. I walk over to Ash's old, black, knocked and dented BMW.

This has been his pride and joy for over a year. No one is allowed to drive it exept him, especially after his mate Jason 'borrowed' it to impress some girl and ended up hitting three parked cars and a fence. It's lucky that no one was hurt and the cars weren't badly damaged (just a scratch and a dent here and there 🙈).
