6 weeks passed Ashley was in the play practice of the play. Pablo gave her another black eye since then but, she still played out the play. Angel met Amber and told him all that was going on. He was going to help but, Ashley refused it saying that she is fine were she is at. During the play Ashley wasn't feeling well she started to get light head then the next thing she knew she blacked out. Angel ran to her and yelled to call an ambulance.

Ashley woke in the hospital. " Where am I " She asked the nurse over her. " Your at the hospital hold on and I will get the doctor." The nurse said. The doctor walked in and talked with Ashley. He told her that she was pregnant and very concerned about the bruises all over her body. Ashley made up some lie and was in shock when she found out she was pregnant. She rushed the doctor into letting her leave. It was midnight when she left the hospital and she already knows that Pablo is not going to be happy. She walked into the door and she was met by a fist to the face. " Pablo wait before you strick me again please listen." Ashley said. "YOU BETTER MAKE IT QUICK." Pablo said screaming at her. " I'm pregnant." Ashley said. Pablo looked at her and released her. " We don't need a baby this time get rid of it." Pablo said. " I am not getting rid of it I will leave if I have to." Ashley said. Pablo snapped and beat her till she couldn't stand. She was screaming the whole time causing a concern for a neighbor.

Pablo took a the stick he beat her with and sodomized her with it shoving it as hard as he could in her. He heard sirens and ran out the back door jumping a neighbors fence and running from the scene. The cops bursted in and saw Ashley bleeding out of her vagina. They called for an ambulance and looked the house. " Miss please stay with me, Who did this to you." One of the police asked. " Pablo Lewis, I am pregnant please save my baby." Ashley said before blacking out.

Once she arrived at the hospital they contacted Amber. Amber was her emergency contact, Ashley didn't have much of a family. She met Amber when she was 8 and the 2 have been stucked to each other like glue. Amber came running in and looked at Ashley, She started to cry. She grabbed Ashley hands. The doctor came in and told her that she was okay but, She had lost the baby and is not sure she can have anymore. Amber cried for Ashley for that was one thing she wanted most in life beside waitress she wanted to be a mother as well. Ashley woke and saw Amber. Ashley grabbed on to Amber and started to cry. " Ashley hey I have something to tell you while your awake cause this may hurt you a whole lot but, you lost the baby and the doctor isn't sure you can have anymore." Amber said. After what Amber said Ashley cried uncontrollably. Ashley took out a number from her pocket. " Please call him I know he was one of the people that was willing to get me out." Ashley said and as soon as Ashley said that she was ready to get out.

About a week or two ago. Angel had saw bruises all over Ashley and he had to asked. " Ashley do you have someone living at home with you like a relative or someone." Angel asked. " No" Ashley lied. " You can tell me and I swear on my life I will not tell another soul." Angel said. " I have a husband and he isn't what everyone thinks I promise most of the stuff I do is my fault and I deserve it." Ashley said. Angel took out a pen and some paper and wrote her number down. " Here take this if you are in trouble and he hurts you again then don't hesitate to call me." Angel said. Ashley said thank you and put the number in her pocket.

Amber called Angel and told him to come to the hospital that Ashley was really badly hurt. He rushed to the hospital and met Amber at the front desk. He went in back and saw Ashley with her feet to her chest. " He beat me and killed the baby that was inside me I am willing to listen to what ever plan you guys have." Ashley said
