He Saved Me

Chapter One

I was walking in the school one day, I was wearing a dress that went about 3 inches above my knee. Aaron wasn't there so I wasn't scared of getting in trouble, but his younger brother was.

Jake was always trying to kiss his brother's ass. The dress wasn't too short, Aaron was even there when I bought it. Aaron told me that yes it was a little too short, but I could wear it.

When I walked into first period English, I kept my head down. Jake was talking to someone on the phone, well the teacher was writing today's notes on the board.

I looked up for 1 second, Jake was staring right at me and looked me up and down. "Dude, your girlfriend just walked in. You should see what she is wearing."

I look back down quickly as Jake snaps a picture of me. My insides are turning as I walk quickly to my seat. "Okay see you soon, then."

Anxiety was taking over my body along with fear and anger. How could Jake do this? He knew what would happen if Aaron got angry. And with the senior trip tomorrow I would be dead.

I was waiting for my best friend Cova to come in. Just as the bell rang, she came running in. "Saved by the bell Ms. Williams, your brother was always so much better at being on time."

"If only I was him." she rolled her eyes well the teacher was muttering something stupid. "So Ashley, who are you trying to impress, today? Looking that hot."

"Don't say anything, I am about to get my ass handed to me soon." I look over at Cova and see the confused look on her face. "Jake ratted me out to Aaron. I am guessing I have till lunch to find a great reason."

Cova is the only one whom I told about Aaron beating the living shit out of me. It happens whenever I do anything that he doesn't approve of. "So I doubt I will be allowed to go on the Senior trip tomorrow."

"WHAT!!" Cova's face was all red and all you could see was the fire in her eyes.

"Excuse me, ladies. Are we interrupting your conversation with the material we are learning?"

"Yes, now can you continue with this fascinating conversation about how Moby Dick changed the world," Cova says very sarcastically to Mr. Phan.

Mr. Phan ignored her in the most respectful way possible. Did I mention Cova's Dad is the principal?

"Why won't you be able to go? It's not like he would kill you."

Cova has no idea what happened last night. "Well I didn't tell you, but I will tell you later. Okay? Now let's pay attention, I don't need detention."

We spent the whole class learning about how Moby Dick was not going to be on the final but we still needed to read it like the Bible. "Ok, so after school, we go to my house and sit by the pool to work on our tans?"

"Cova, he is not going to let me out of his sight. He didn't even let me go to Prom, and he was my date, but I can convince him. Is your brother going to be there? I can convince him if your brother isn't there."

"No, Bradys at college until this weekend." Cova's brother, Brady, was wicked hot and Aaron hated him. Brady was a senior along with Aaron and they were always fighting about the stupidest stuff.

As we were walking I saw Aaron walking this way, "We have to run to the next class, Aaron's here."

"EVERYONE MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" The sea of students parted as we ran to drawing. Aaron was so far back I don't think he saw me.

"Thank you! I don't want to die before the second period."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

All-day I didn't see Aaron, until Cova and I walked out to our cars. We parked next to each other since we got our cars. When I was unlocking my car, I noticed Aaron was leaning on the hood of my car. "Oh god, I'm dead. Bye Cova, see you later."

"Call me if you need me and if you can come over later." We hugged goodbye and I walked to the front of my car.

"So you're dressing like a slut today. Guess I am going to have to teach you a lesson."

"But you said it looked fine, the other day." I am hoping he doesn't realize that I am lying. Giving him my best puppy eyes.

"OK, but I am going to have to watch you tomorrow, can't have you looking like this tomorrow."

"Thank you, and can I go over to Cova's today. We have to work on a project, and I already made sure that Brady won't be there."

I looked in his eyes and he was debating this for about five minutes in his head. "I guess, but no leaving her house and if he shows up you call and ask for a ride. Got it?"

"Yes, Thank you." I didn't think he was going to say yes.

I kissed his cheek and got in my car and drove home.

I dropped everything on the floor of my room, going into the closet I chose a navy blue bikini, a pair of shorts and a white shirt. Changing I get ready to go to Cova's.

My phone starts to ring, knowing exactly who it is I answer without looking. "I am getting dressed now and will be over soon."

"How did you know it was me?" Cova was always the type of person to call whenever at any random time.

"First, I know you and second I just knew. Bye, see you in 10 minutes."

"Bye." This bikini was gonna show Cova what happened last night and she was going to be pissed.

Aaron came over last night, drunk and high, well I was sleeping. Thank god that he never touched me sexually, but he threw me all over my room. I used a lot of concealer to cover up the marks on my neck and I wore a cardigan to cover the marks on my arms and back.

I got in my car and drove to Cova's. When I got there I just walked right in. "Cova get your ass down here." Her mom sounded pissed, she normally didn't swear.

"Hey Martha, how are you?"

"I am doing good, thanks, sweetheart. Ashley, can you go get that ignorant daughter of mine?" I nodded my head and started my way up the stairs. I got a text from Aaron, and then I walked into a brick wall. I fell flat on my ass.

"Oh shit sorry, Ash. I didn't see you." I look up and see Brady holding out his hand to help me up.

"I thought you wouldn't be back till this weekend?"

I didn't look up when he leaped me up to my feet. "I got home early to surprise my mom."

"Oh, well I better go get Cova, before your mom blows a fuse." I speed walked to Cova's room.

I opened the door and saw Cova laying on her bed on her phone. "Your mom needs you, let's go."

Walking over to pull her up. I lead her down to the kitchen. "Cova I need you to call your father and tell him to be home early."

"Why can't you? Ashley and I are going to sit by the pool till dinner, ok?" I loved Martha like she was my mom. But she wasn't, I got a drugged up mom and an alcoholic dad.

"Whatever, just call him." She said as I jumped onto the counter.

"Hey Cov, get me a Coke will you, and we have to hurry up. Aaron doesn't know that Brady is here. And he will kill me if he knows."

"You're still with the dickhead? He is such a piece of trash." Brady walks into the kitchen.

"Let's go, Ash, you have something to tell me don't you?"

"I was hoping you forgot, Cova." I jumped off the counter and headed outside behind Cova.

"So what did you need to tell me."

"Ok, please don't freak out."
