Light seeped into my vision the second my eyes opened, so bright that I had to squint and cover them with my hand. I tried to move but soon realised that I was being held down by something - well, someone.

Ash was laid behind me with his arms around my waist and his head tucked into the crease of my neck, breathing softly. My eyes widened at the realisation that we were practically naked, the only clothing I was wearing being my boxers.

My phone was laid on the nightstand beside me and I reached over to grab it, almost straining something from the inability to move that Ash was providing.

As soon as it was securely in my hand I pressed the power button and two text notifications popped up.

Mum: I didn't have the heart to wake you two up since you looked so peaceful but young man you have a lot of explaining to do. When you come downstairs I'll have some food prepared and you can introduce me to the boy you were with x

Groaning, I let my eyes fall shut, not wanting to confront her about what happened last night. It was all too vividly burnt into my mind.

After a couple of minutes I forced myself to check the other message, almost falling out of bed when I saw it.

Unknown Sender: Meet me at the park in town at 1:00pm. Bring everyone else with you.

It was noon already and the park was half an hour away.

Wait why the hell am I thinking about being late when this could be a psychopath wanting to murder me and my friends?

"Ash! Wake up!" I dropped my phone onto one of the pillows on the floor and started wiggling around, desperate to get out of his death grip. However, all of my feeble attempts resulted in his grasp becoming even tighter.

"Ash we- Jesus Christ you're strong." I struggled to turn around, writhing and fighting until I was finally facing him. "MINJOON."

He jolted awake, a gruff mumble passing his lips as his eyes flickered open. I grabbed his arms and forced them off my body, almost pushing myself off the bed with how difficult that task was.

"Sky? What's wrong?" His voice was deep and rough from sleep, shocking me as I'd never heard him like that before.

"W-we- I mean, I got a text. I don't know who it's from but they said to meet them at the park and-"

"The fuck? We're not going."

My mouth opened to say a few more words but he shoved his hand over it, restricting me.

"I'm not going to let you meet a complete stranger who somehow has your number. I wouldn't even allow it if I was going to be there with you, which I defiantly would be, if you were going, which you're not."

I mumbled a few curses under my breath, pouting, when I saw his phone light up. However, when I reached over and checked it, I almost threw it across the room. "Erm, Ash? It appears that they have your number too."

Guilt washed over me as we snuck past my parents who were sat in the living room having a heated debate, probably over Ash and I.

I'd have to thank my mum later for not dragging him out by the ear and throwing him onto the road, but that was the least of my worries at that point in time.

We managed to sneak out of the front door but just as I was about to set off down the path, Ash grabbed my shoulder and redirected me to his car.
