Chapter 4

The next night Ashley got out of the hospital. Pablo was there waiting for her to come home and had been nice to her since. When it was time for bed she got dressed a quietly snuck around the house. She grabbed the suitcase out of the closet and then she felt it someone grabbing the back of her head and slamming her head against the wall. " WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING SLUT." Pablo said. " No where honey." Ashley said " NO WHERE HUH." Pablo said. He threw her to the ground and grabbed the belt that had a razor in the belt.

He welled back on the belt and it hit her skin, breaking it and tearing it as he weld back more. She screamed help. Some one dialed the police as a couple of her friend busted into the door. Ashley laid still on the floor crying. " GET THE FUCK OUT YOUR NOT WELCOME ON MY PROPERTY". Pablo said. " We are not leaving with out her so your going to have to stop us." Angel said. Pablo took his foot off Ashley's back and kicked her one more time before walking up to Angel. Pablo tried to punch him but, he missed Angel took the heel of his hand and pushed his nose up breaking it. Pablo got his stick and swung causing Angel to back away and trip Pablo. The sirens sound and Pablo tried to escape but, was held down by Angel and his friends.

The police came in and was asking questions. When they said what had happen. They found the belt that Pablo was using on Ashley and took it into evidence. Angel helped Ashley up and took her back to his place. A nurse that was a friend of his and a doctor was there to look at any injuries that she may have. He back started to bleed. Angel took her up to his apartment and had her lay on her stomach the nurses cut Ashley's shirt off and saw her back was cut so many times. " She is going to need stitches for sure" The doctor said. Angel sat on a chair. " Ashley they are going to stitch your back up. I need you to hold still. Ashley held on to his hands as they stitch her back up. Amber brought her bag up from the van and took into Angel's apartment. Angel picked up Ashley and put him in a spare room. He put some towels and other things down to make sure her back doesn't rip open during the night. " I will keep her here if it is alright. I think she will need a day of rest and to do some stuff that she needs to do." Angel said. " Here is the police report, Pablo knows were I live but, he doesn't you so she should be save here." Amber said.

The next morning Ashley woke to a sunny morning. She looked outside and saw that it was sunny and looked at the clock on the nightstand and says " Oh shit I am late." She looks around and it doesn't look like her room. Angel knocked " Come in." Ashley said. " Oh your up good morning." Angel said with a try in his hand. " Where am I." Ashley said. " He must of knocked you pretty hard your in my apartment." Angel said. " Where is he at." Ashley asked. " He is in jail, which Amber took the liberty of giving the police report to me cause I figured if your back is up to it going down and filing." Angel said. " I would love that so much." Ashley said.

After breakfast she got up out of bed and looked around the apartment. She saw a room full of books. Shelves upon shelves of them. She felt the covers of all the books read each title and seeing that this is a dream come true. " I see you have found my library." Angel said. " I am sorry I shouldn't be in here." Ashley said. He stopped her. "No your fine." Angel said as he comes forward. " Where did you find all these." Ashley said. " I acquired them along the way." Angel. He held out his hands and took her to the books. She looked more around them and saw that he had history books her eyes light up. " I see you like history." Angel said. " Yes history is one of the most awesome subjects in the world. Learning how America was discovered." Ashley said. Angel smiled.
