No One Touches Her: Book 1

Adopted to my boyfriend

I walk to Brad's house and knock on his door.
"Brad? Brad it's Ashley," I say knocking on his door until he opens it.

"Ashley? What're you doing here it's past midnight."
"I'll tell you later, can I come in?"
"Yeah come on in."

I enter his house and plop on his bed with the broken glasses in my hand. Brad sees it and takes it from me.

"How did your glasses break?" He asks me.
I still am afraid of telling him so I keep silent.
"Ashley!"
I jumped and tears starts coming out of my eyes.
"Is there something you're hiding from me?"
I look facing down and nods. Brad then hugs me and kisses my forehead.
"Hey, please tell me baby. I care about you too much to let this slide. And you know I really hate when you're hurt and look down."
"I know...."
"No one touches you, no one hurts you. I love you Ashley."
"I love you too Brad," I say and the both of us kissed.
"Please tell me what happened."
I clutch my fingers and start talking. "I-I've been hiding this from you from when we first met. Um.....m-my father-well not exactly my father; he's my step father....h-he...."
Brad then sits beside me and puts me on his lap, "Go on. I'm listening."
"....He usually.....beats me everyday....well, every evening.."
"Why?"
"H-He gave me a curfew saying I should be home by 4:30.."
"But it's not possible to reach home by then-"
"I told him but he wouldn't listen..."
Brad takes me off his lap, gets up and punches the wall very hard. "Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!"
"You and I know why Brad-"
"Then why didn't you call the fucking police then?!"
".......I couldn't.....I still love him-"
"Ashley! You can't love someone who constantly hurts you-!"
"But still!!....."
"How long has this been happening?"
"Couple weeks before we first met-"
"We've been together for 5 months baby. That's how long you've kept this from me! You don't trust me at all do you?"
"Brad I do trust you-"
"Then why-"
"Because you're too goddamn overprotective!!"
Brad becomes silent after that. So am I. "I'm overprotective?"
"Brad I'm sorry-"
"Do you even know how many things might happened to you if I wasn't....you don't even fucking know....you're one of the most cutest girls in the school, so of course I have to be overprotective. Guys want to flirt and bully you mostly so of course I have to be overprotective. What kind of boyfriend I'd be if I wasn't Ashley? Tell me right now..."
"...I'm sorry I said that Brad I'm very sorry...."
"Don't say that shit Ash, ever again. You hear me?"
"Y-Yes..."
"I love you baby."
"I love you too."
He lifts my chin up and kisses me then he lays me on the bed. "Get some sleep okay, remember we have school tomorrow."
"But I don't have any change of clothes.."
"Don't worry about that, I got that covered. Just get some sleep."
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I'm sleeping on the floor."
"Brad-"
"It's okay. I'm fine with it."

I look at him as he takes a pillow from the bed and lays on the floor about to sleep. I tuck myself in and slowly close my eyes and go to sleep.

Next day

I slowly open my eyes as I hear the sound of an alarm clock. I get up and look around for Brad until I saw a pile of clothes. I realize the clothes were all mine and my jaws drop. How in the world my....

"Brad!" I shout.
"Yeah?"
"Are these my clothes?!"
"Yeah."
"How are my clothes here?!"
"I snuck em out of your house."
"What?!"
"I didn't get all of them because there were too much for me to carry so I brought the ones I see you wear mostly."
"Ehh?!"
"You're welcome baby."

I look back at my pile of clothes and smile. Thank you Brad...^-^
