Lzzy hale- Save me

Should I let you in?

*Trigger Warning for this chapter*

                    *Lzzy's POV*
Was about to go to bed but, couldn't sleep so I decided to take a walk to clear my mind and also nice fall night in Nashville. I got back at 9:00pm then, I heard rustling in the bushes and crying. I went to check it out and saw the eyes of a girl who was scared and been crying. "hey, I'm Lzzy Hale and it's okay I won't hurt you". Lzzy reached out her hand and the girl took it and was led inside. I could get a better look at her short blonde hair, shorts with fishnet stockings, combat boots, t-shirt. They're were scars, scrapes that decorated her skinny body. "hey, how did u get those?" I asked her after we sat on the couch, after grabing her some hot chocolate and placing it in front of her. The girl who's name was Ashley spoke up and said "I deal with self harm and someone gave me them, just can't tell you who".

                    *Ashley's POV*
Oh no why didn't I bring a sweatshirt as I thought to myself after she asked about the scars. Lzzy gave me t-shirt and sweatpants to change into. Took a shower but, after I saw all the cuts, I have and bruises. - Flashback- I remember getting home and smelling alcohol and racing upstairs as fast as I could get my body to go. But, waiting at the top of the stairs was my dad. I screamed but, nobody could hear me since my mom died last year. I was taken into my bedroom and raped with a hand covering my mouth and then left alone to cry and cut because no one would care anyways. - Flashback ends-

                 *Lzzy's POV*
Heard a scream coming from the bathroom and raced to see Ashley clothed but crying in a corner. I knelt down in front of her and said "hey it's okay, I'm here for you, no one can hurt you anymore". Ashley looked up at her " but someone did, I know who". Ashley opened up her arms to recieve a hug from me and I responded and gave her a hug which ended up with Ash crying and I replied" no more hurting, your mine and not going to let anyone hurt you". After Ashley went to bed, I called the adoption agency and told them:

Lzzy: I found this girl and she's in rough shape and want to adopt her

Agency: okay and will you be able to handle her with your career?

Lzzy: yes I will be able to

Agency: then I'll sign the papers and she's yours to keep.

Lzzy: thank you

*Lzzy's POV*
Went into the bathroom to get ready for bed, took Ashley's clothes that was left after her breakdown and noticed dried blood on them. I gasped and thought to myself, how could anyone do this. I put them in the washer to clean them. Then washed my face, changed and got into bed, hoping Ash will have a goodnight based on what I am coming up with in my head. All I could come up with is she was abused and someone raped her. I shivered at the fact of that thought but, she came to that conclusion. I drifted off to sleep to dream about tour.
