*****Jay's P.o.v.*****
"Jay are you okay?" Ashley asked. It's been four days since someone left that picture on my door. I haven't told Ashley yet because she's been doing so well in the past few days and I don't want her to go back to how she was. I feel bad for being dishonest with her but I don't want to hurt her, and I don't want her to be afraid. I made a promise that I would find Robert and protect her at all cost and that is exactly what I intend on doing.
"Yeah Ashley, I'm fine."
"It's just, you've been acting really weird for the past few days. Are you sure your alright?" She asked.
"Ashley," I said plastering a fake smile on my face. "I am fine. Please stop worrying." She looked at me with doubt in her eyes, but didn't keep prying.
"Okay Jay, I'll leave it alone," she said to me.
"You've know," I said changing the subject. "You've been looking more and more beautiful day by day." She starts blushing, which puts a smile to my face.
"Jay don't flirt with me," Ashley said trying to be serious.
"Why not?" I said walking toward her. "Your a single girl now." By now we were face to face. She looked into my eyes. I slowly leaned in to kiss her but she stopped me.
"Jay, I'm not ready to start a new relationship, please stop." I know she's holding herself back, but I don't want to push her too far. I can't lose her again, I won't.
"I'm sorry Ashley," I say walking back. "I won't do it again." She looked back at me in surprise.
"Jay, it's not a big deal, you don't have to apologize." I looked back at Ashley for a minute without saying anything.
"Ashley, you know I really regret treating you how I did right? I'm really sorry."
"Jay-"
"No Ashley," I said cutting her off. "The way I treated you was wrong. Because of that, you didn't even want to come back. Because of that, you went back to your mom. I feel like it's my fault. Ashley I'm really sorry." I couldn't help but break down crying.
"Jay," she said "Don't blame yourself. I am not angry with you at all. None of the choices that I've made, and none of the things that I've been through is your fault. None of it is your fault. And as for the way you treated me, I already told you that I forgave you. And I meant it."
"Okay," I replied. "Thank you Ashley." It makes me feel better that she doesn't hate me.
"What's wrong with you?" she says laughing. "You've been so sentimental lately. I do have to be honest. i like this side of you," she said heading upstairs. Hearing that made my heart flutter. I followed her back up to her room.
"There's nothing wrong with me, I just really want you to know how sorry I am. That's it."
"Jay, like I said, I don't hate you."
"You know," I said changing the subject. "You really need a friend. You shouldn't just stay in the room in bed all day. Don't you get bored?
"Yeah, but who am I gonna hang with?" I thought about it for a minute.
"Didn't you make friends at the strip club?"
"Yeah, there's a girl that I took a really big liking too."
"Look, there you go. I have to go to the warehouse, why don't you call her over? You can get her number from Namjoon," I said walking back downstairs.
*****Ashley's P.o.v.*****
Jay's right. I really do need someone that I can have around to talk to. During the short time that I worked for Namjoon, I actually became really close with Cardi. All the other girls always seemed to be stand off-ish but Cardi was different. She was always loud and full of energy. She had been working at the strip club for the longest time out of all the workers.
Grabbing my phone, I dialed Namjoon's number.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Namjoon, it's Ashley."
"Oh shit! What's up Ashley. What's up?"
"Oh nothing much," I replied. "I was just wandering if you can give me Cardi's number."
"Yeah sure. I don't see why not."
After giving me Cardi's number, Namjoon and I continued talking.
*****Jay's P.o.v.*****
I was in the car driving on my way to the warehouse. Ashley called and told me that Cardi agreed to hanging out while I worked. I'm actually happy that she's gonna have a female companion that she can talk to and have girl time with. I was in my own thoughts when my rang.
"Hello?' I answered.
"Jay," Jaebum said panicked. "Get to the warehouse quick." Before I could even ask what was going on, he hung up. Immediately I felt my stomach sink as I got a really bad feeling something happen. I started speeding down the highway quickly, and in a few minutes I was at the warehouse. I got out the car and headed inside. It felt as if my whole world had stopped. The whole warehouse was empty except for the body that stood in the middle of the room. I stared at it in complete horror. The body was nailed onto a cross, there was blood was dripping everywhere. I slowly made my way toward the body. As I inched toward it my stomach dropped as I realized who the body belonged to. It was Jackson. My heart pounded immensely and my vision began to blur. There was a piece of paper balled up in his hand. After regaining control of my breathing again I slowly reached out and took the paper. As I dug into his balled fist, I can hear the moistness of the blood, it was still warm. Finally I took the paper out. Soon I realized it was a picture of Ashley. In the corner it read: I'm coming back for what's mine.
