Her Wish Come True

5

Asher's POV

"What happened," I ask Dante when he comes in.

He steps into the room slowly like breathing the same air as me was going to hurt me.

"Babygirl do you know who Clay Jenkins is?"

"Yeah." I say

Slowly it comes back. Tears start to form in my eyes. I try to breath and keep my composure but I can't. Tears roll down my face as I try to hold in a sob.

Dante sees and starts to comfort me. Gently rapping his arms around me. Whispering sweet comforting things into my ear.

Slowing I start to breath and get my composure back.

"Baby why did he do this to you?" He asks. I look into his eyes. He has genuine concern in them.

"He does this" I say gesturing to my stomach.

"because he thinks I locked my parents..." I take a shaking breath."his sister in a burning house..." I laugh dryly

"In all reality HE caught it on fire when he was drunk." I say trying to hold back another sob. Leaning into him while he rubs my back in small circles.

"He knows he did it but he just made the excuse to give him a reason to hurt me."

"Why did you stay?" Dante asks with concern lacing his voice.

I think about. Can I trust him?

I mean if he was going to hurt me he would have just left me where I was.

I dont think he would be trying to comfort me if he was going to hurt me.

"I stayed because he was the only family I had left." Tears start to flow once again.

I just wish that this never happened to me.

"Did you bring him here?" I ask with fear.

"Yes but he will never hurt you again." He says with honesty.

After a while of him just holding me I began to fall asleep in his arms. Enjoying the smell of his cologne.

"I will always protect you." He whispers in my ear. Just before I fall asleep.

I slowly wake up to the feeling of light butterfly kisses all over my face.

I wiggle around trying to brush the hair or what ever it is off of my face.

"Good morning babygirl." Dante whispers in my ear with his huskie morning voice.

"Good morning." I say happily knowing that my uncle can't hurt me while I am with Dante.

"You ready to go eat something." Dante asks softly like if he talks to loud I will disappear.

On que my stomach rumbles while I blush.

"Yes but after can we go to school I can't miss anything."

"No you cant you need to recover." He says with authority.

"Ok if I can't can I have Jessica pick my work up for me?"

"No I have my man Grayson picking up your work for you."

"Then can we go take scenery pictures?" I ask hopefully he will say yes.

I look at him with pleading eyes.

"If you can take them in backyard." He picks me up gentilly and caries me bridal style out back.

Once he open the back door I gasped in awe at how beautiful his backyard is.
