Crippling Love

Chapter 2

~Third Person P.O.V~

"W-what do you want A-andy?" Asher asked annoyed.

"To see you suffer." He said with a smirk.

"W-what are you g-gonna do? I'm a-already s-suffering. I'm c-cri-crippled, I s-stutter and I'm r-related to you. W-what could p-p-possibly be w-worse?" Asher asked sarcastically.

"Oh hi, boys. Sorry to disturb your meal but I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to clean the house soon. So, you can go to the park after you finish eating." Mrs Angel, Asher's mother and Andy's stepmother stated.

"Yes, m-mother."

~Thirty Minutes Later~

"Ugh! I can't believe I have to go outside with your retarded ass again today. You know what let's just get this over with. Let's go now." Andy said grabbing Asher's wheelchair and pushing him out the house.

They went to the park together but Andy met up with his friends and ditched Asher.

'Welp. I'm all alone again... Like always. At least I have my... Wait! My phone! I left it at home what am I supposed to do now!? This is just my luck!' Asher thought, sulking.

"Ummm hi?" A girl with gorgeous red hair down to the back of the knees, enchanting dark green eyes, full rosy lips and beautifully clear skin said walking up to Asher.

"H-h-hello," Asher replied.

"Hehe. It's pretty boring here, ain't it?" She asked brushing her hair into place with her hand.

"I-I g-guess," Asher answered.

"I'm Katelyn Cambridge by the way what's your name?" She asked with a warm smile.

"A-a-asher A-angel..." Asher replied.

"Do you have a speech impediment?" Katelyn asked noticing he kept stuttering.

"Y-yes..." He answered hesitantly.  

'Here it comes. Here's where she gets disgusted and leaves me alone like everyone else...' Asher predicted based on past experiences.

"...It's actually pretty cute." She said with a cute smile.

"W-what!?" He asked shocked.

"I think your voice is cute and your stutter makes it cuter." She explained then smiled again.

'How can she say that with a straight face and not get embarrassed!?' Asher asked himself confused.

"T-thanks?" 

"So? What do you want to do?" Katelyn asked tilting her head.

"U-ummmm... T-there isn't m-much I can d-do like t-this." 

"Nonsense. Let's go ride the swings!" Katelyn suggested 

"B-but-"

"No buts! If you need help I'll lift you." She said cutting him off.

"I'm... H-heavy." Asher said trying to change her mind.

"You don't look that heavy plus I'm pretty strong for a girl so stop questioning it and let's have fun!" She said with a vibrant smile.

When they arrived at the swings Katelyn lifted him with ease and placed him on the swings.

"Quick question can you move your feet at all?" 

'... She'll probably leave when she finds out how useless I actually am.'

"N-n-no..." Asher replied hesitantly.
