Taming him

Chapter Four

Giving chance a small smile, Ashley said her name right after he spoke his. He nodded and said "I know".

"H-how?" She stuttered as she tilted her head questioning how he knew. "Iv not even spoken to five people in this school yet?" She thought.

"You basically live in the same building as me? Remember?" He chuckled and ran his fingers through his hair with a grin.

"When you and that man, guessing your father? Moved in, my mom was all about it since he's the famous dru-" he stopped midway, hoping he didn't go to far to hurt the sweet girl.

"No, it's fine chance. You don't have to stop. He's a jerk and he deserves what's coming and said about him.." she gave a fake smile, and twisted her hair around her fingers.

Before chance could ask his main question, the nurse came over to Ashley and demanded she went back to the nurses office due to her sickness.

Ashley mouthed out "bye" and gave him a small wave and a smile before she was out of his sight. He couldn't help but crack a small smile then going back to the emotionless look.

As Ashley sat on the bed, she couldn't tell if the tingles in her stomach was from chance or from the sickness. Maybe both?

"Can you check my fever and maybe I can go back to lunch?" Ashley asked in a rush so she could see chance again. She had many questions for him.

The nurse sighed and looked at Ashley with a saddened look "I want you to rest okay? You need it. Even if you don't have the fever anymore you still need rest darling".

Ashley understood and laid on the makeshift bed till school was over with and gave the nurse a smile and started on her way home.

Listening to her music she then turning down the ally. She quickly pulled out her earbuds,and ignoring the pain she ran over to a group of guys fighting with chance.

She ran in the middle of the group, in front of Chance. Staring at the four dudes much bigger then chance and her. Feeling a strong hand wrap around her waist, she was pulled behind him as he was blocking her.

"Leave her out of this." Chance said to the four strange guys in a rough and emotionless tone, as he hid the small fragile girl behind his back.

Feeling the tension between them all, she gripped the back of chances shirt Hoping to let him know everything would be okay.

One of the guys spat and started to walk away, and so did the others. As soon as they was far enough and gone, Chance turned around and gave her a look.

"What.." she said nervously as she looked into his dark eyes. "We both have a death wish now" he said emotionlessly.

Without another word, he put his hood up and hands in his pocket and walked off. Feeling even more nervous, Ashley looked both directions and walked inside in a hurry.

Making it to her apartment, she went to open the door but it was locked. "Shit!" She screamed as she started kicking it but it was no use.

Sitting back in her same spot as she was before that morning, she hugged her legs and put her face in them closing her eyes.

Just sitting there still, as it grew later and later into the day that soon turned to night. Ashley grew very cold sitting in the dark beaten down hallway.

Cuddling to her hoodie she closed her eyes, happy Tomorrow was Saturday so she didn't have to wear the same outfit to school.

Starting to drift off to sleep she felt a strong pair of arms wrap around her and carry her. Opening her eyes quickly, she then smiled and closed her eyes again.

Feeling relief she wouldn't possibly have to stay in the dark cold hallway anymore and could be in a warm Cozy room.

"Thank you Chance.."
