chapter 11 fuck

I was determined to find that bastard who did those things to Ashley. That piece of shit did that to the girl I loved and now she has serious problems because of it. Jesse noticed my lack of sleep and talking and asked me what was wrong.

"Dude what the fuck happened to you?" He said as he stared at me. "You're dark circles are almost as bad as Ashleys." He said laughing, I know he was joking but it really pissed me off.

"You don't know shit about her." I snapped back.

"Woah dude chill. Is that why you're so fucked up bro?" He asked. I didn't want to tell him because that shit was private, and it wasn't his business.

"I gotta go check up on Ashley." I left with a hurry because I had this weird feeling that something was wrong especially after she texted me and said,

He you know I love you right? and you don't have to worry about me I promise! xx

It was weird for her to say stuff like that, so I drove over to her place and knocked on the door. She answered but she kept twisting her sleeves around.

I hugged her and grabbed her arm and she flinched.

"What's wrong." I didn't even ask I stated it.

"Nothing, why are you here?" She asked she was kind of confused I could tell.

"Give me your arm." I said.

"What? Why do you wanna see my arm?" She panicked.

"Ashley give me your fucking arm!" I pulled her arm and her sleeves up and sure enough there was blood pouring out of it.

"I, I don't know I- I can't.." She stuttered as she mustered sobs.

"Ashley that's it I'm done you can't lie to me anymore!" I screamed, I was fucking furious.

Even though I was raging I found some bandages and wrapped her up and threw her in a cold bath to wash away the blood. I never realized how skinny she was naked, she was just skin and bones.

I called 911 because she past out in the tub. To be honest I was getting pretty used to her getting like this, as sad as that sounds. I still flipped my shit of course. I called Matty because I felt like I could tell him what was going on.

"Shit mate I didn't know Ashley had so many issues." Surprisingly Matty wasn't high when he was talking to me, in fact he was completely sober.

"You think I don't already know? I can't sleep because I'm so worried about her. I can't even stop thinking about it. It's in the back of my mind every second of every day."

"If I were you I wouldn't bother her too much about it. It's something she wants to forget, and you should let her." Matty decided. "Dude has she been raped?"

I've been thinking about that a lot, but I didn't know how to ask her.

"I don't know man I sure hope not." I decided to change the subject and we started talking about Lux instead. When I brought her up his face became grim and he told me something I never knew.. Lux was a drug addict.

"What?" I exclaimed. I had knows Lux for years, and I knew she liked to get high but I never knew she had a problem.

"Yeah mate, it's the heroin that got to her, she's in rehab right now."
