Cayley|| A Hayley and Carson Story

29

*Asher's pov*

I felt bad for yelling at Hayley, so I walked to her room, but she wasn't there. I called her, but her phone was on her bed. I put my phone away, and I heard something drop from her dresser.

I walked over to her dresser, picked it up, and I looked at it. It was a razor. I sat down on her bed, with the razor in my hand, and I just looked at it. A couple hours later, Hayley walked into her room. She saw me, and she started crying.

"When did this start?" I asked. "Asher,"She said. "Answer please,"I begged. "...After Harmony,"She said, she walked into her closet, and she changes into some shorts and a crop-top . "Why the hell do you have this Hayley?" I asked angrily.

She didn't answer. "Hayley?"I asked, "How long?" "...Six weeks,"She said. "Do they know?" I asked. "Yes, they do, and they are helping me stop,"She said.

I put the razor in the trash, I picked her up, and I hugged her. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and looked down at me. "I love you,"She said, "And I'm so sorry you had to find out like that."

I kissed her forehead. "I love you too,"I said. I put her down, and she put her forehead against mine. "Don't ever do that to me again,"She said. "Just as long as you don't leave me out in the cold again,"I said.

She smiled, and hugged me again. "Can you stay in here until I go to sleep?" She asked. "Are you about to take a nap?" I asked. "Yes,"She said.

*Hayley's pov*

I laid down in bed, and Asher laid next to me. "Have you been to a therapist?" Asher asked. "No,"I said, "Only because I don't like talking to strangers about my problems, and their offices smell."

Asher laughed. "Have the scars gone away?" He asked. "Some off them have,"I said, "But not all of them." He nodded a little bit. "Hayley,"Annie said while knocking on the door. "Come in,"I said.

Annie walked into the room, and she saw Asher and I. "Are you alright?" She asked. I nodded. "I'm fine,"I said. "Can we talk?" Annie asked, "Please?" I looked at Asher, and he nodded. "Yeah,"I said.

Asher left, and Annie closed the door. "Did he find out?" She asked. I nodded. "Yeah, but we're fine,"I said, "I wanted him to stay until Carson got back, but you came in here." "Sorry,"Annie said.

"No it's fine,"I said. "How've you been?" Annie asked. "I'm doing better,"I said, "He threw it in the trash, and I promised him that I would never harm myself again."

Annie hugged me. "I love you Annie,"I said. "I love you more Hayley,"Annie said. She hugged me, and kissed my forehead. "I'll tell Asher to come back in,"She said. "Alright,"I said.

Annie was about to leave, when Asher came running into the room, with Harmony, and a knife. "What the hell are you holding a knife for?" Annie asked. "Someone's at the door,"Asher said, "And it's not Carson."

"Then who is it?" I asked while holding Harmony, she was sleeping. "I don't know, but they had guns, and they didn't look too friendly." "They?" Annie asked. "There's two of them,"Asher said, "And judging by their voices, they're both guys."

"Hayley, call Carson, and explain, tell him not to come home,"Asher said. I grabbed my phone, and I called Carson. I walked into the closet, and I closed the door.

Carson: Hi baby, what's up?
Me: Don't come home.
Carson: What? Why not?
Me: There are two guys trying to break into the house, while we are here, and they have guns.
Carson: Is someone calling the police?
Me: Annie did, and they're on their way, but by the time they get here then-
Carson: Don't say that Hayley. I won't let anything happen to any of you.
Me: Then don't come home, please don't.
Carson: Where do you want me to go then?
Me: Andy. Go to Andy.
Carson: And tell him what? That our house is being broken into while you all are inside of it, with the cops on the way?
Me: Yes.
Carson: Fine, I'll go to Andy, let me know when the cops get there.
Me: I will. I promise, I love you.
Carson: I love you too.

I hung up the phone, and I walked out of the closet. "He's going to Andy,"I said, "But I have to let him know when the cops get here." Asher and Annie nodded.

"Stay here,"Asher said. "Where you going?" I asked. "To the top of the stairs,"Asher said. "Be careful,"Annie said. Asher kissed Annie, and walked to the top of the stairs. The two guys that were outside...were now inside.
