Tragedies happen. What are you gonna do? Give up? Quit? No. I realise now that when your heart breaks, you gotta fight like hell to make sure you're still alive. Cause you are. And that pain you feel? It's life. The confusion and fear? That's there to remind you that someone out there is something better. And that something is worth fighting for.
~ Nathan Scott (One Tree Hill)
Chapter 3: Jerk Magnet
Ashley's POV
If I say I was scared, it would be the understatement of the year. I was scared out of my life. I was shaking badly and I jumped when he touched me.
"Don't be scared, love, I'm not gonna hurt you. I just wanna have some fun." He simpered.
He slipped his hand around my waist, pulled me closer and kissed me. A tear rolled down my cheek.
"Kiss me back!" He growled. I still didn't kiss him back.
Suddenly, he pulled out a knife from his back pocket.
"Do what I say or there will be consequences." He said as he waved the knife in front of my face. I quickly nodded my head. He crashed his lips onto mine and I, unwillingly, kissed him back. He broke the kiss to take a breath.
"Please, Jared... Stop, don't do this..." I said, my voice not more than a whisper.
"Just do whatever I say," he said and pulled me in for another kiss.
Nathan's POV
I saw Ashley exit the restroom and decided to follow her. Someone pulled her arm and took her into a room. I heard a click sound signalling that someone had locked the door. I looked down at my hands and saw that they were clenched and were turning white. I slowly unclenched them and looked at the door of the room.
'I guess that was Austin trying to keep me away from Ashley. Well, who wouldn't? I knew I would...' I thought to myself. 'I'm bad news and I know it. But I just can't get myself to stay away from her. She's like a magnet... A magnet that attracts jerks only.'
Suddenly I heard noises from inside. "Kiss me back!" Someone growled and that most certainly wasn't Austin. "Do what I say or there will be consequences." The same voice warned. I felt anger surge through my body.
'How dare he say that to her?!' Everything turned unusually quiet after that.
"Please, Jared... Stop, don't do this..." Ashley whispered. I could hear her sobbing through the door.
'Jared?! What the hell was he doing that made her cry?'
"Just do whatever I say." Jared replied.
'That's it.' I thought to myself. 'I'm going in!'
I broke down the door and what I saw inside shook me to my core. Ashley was standing with her hands on her sides as Jared kept one of his hands steady around her waist while the other clasped a knife in them. Tears stained Ashley's face as he kissed her. My hands and jaw were clenched in anger.
He broke the kiss when he heard the door break open.
"What the fuck?" He tightened his arm around Ashley's waist as she cried some more. He didn't know it was me standing here.
"Leave her alone!" I ordered in a stern voice.
"Nathan?" Jared asks.
"I'm giving you 5 seconds to leave her." I walked towards them. "Or else..." I put my clenched fists in front of my body.
"Take one more step and I'll kill her!" He pulled her even closer to his body and I stopped. Anger creeped into my body when I saw him do that.
Ashley's glassy eyes looked straight into mine, pleading me to do something. But then I remembered.
