Chapter 5
*Jess's POV*
I walk into the guest bedroom to check on the girls. Alesa said that misty can stay here and help ash until she gets her casts off. I see them both asleep on the bed. I quickly take notice that ash doesn't have a shirt on, I see she has a cast around her chest. I walk over an turn the tv off and cover them up with a blanket. On my way out I turn off the lights and shut the door. When I walk into the living room Alesa gets up to leave "I'll bring some of Misty's clothes and electronics over tomorrow cause I don't think she's leaving ash's side anytime soon." She says slightly giggling "Yeah, you're right I think they'll become really close friends maybe even a sisterly bond. Who knows?" "Yeah, we'll see anyway see you tomorrow Jess. Oh, I almost forgot misty is prone to have panic attaches. But they only happen when she feels abandoned so watch out for that oh and especially knives." "Ok, good to know and I will bye Alesa" I then go and post a short vlog about what's happening and such. After I edit and upload it I head to bed.
*Time skip to morning Ash's POV*
I wake up to mom leaving a suitcase and backpack for misty. I notice that Misty's still sleeping so I grab my tablet and play some games. Once misty wakes up she helps me change my pajama pants to shorts. I take off my sling to put on my shirt once it's on I put my sling back on. Misty leaves to bring me breakfast we eat while watching YouTube when we're done. I take our plates to the kitchen cause I need a little exercise and head to the bathroom.
*Misty's POV*
Ash leaves to take our plates and head to the bathroom. I stay calm knowing that she's coming back. I hear a knock I see Lucas walk in with A KNIFE he places it on the nightstand and leaves. I start hyperventilating as I have flashbacks from my family beating me and cutting me. I calm down a little as ash comes back in and lays down on the bed next to me. I watch as she picks up the knife and takes off the sleeve I feel tears well up in my eyes my heartbeat and breathing quicken. I don't take my eyes off the knife as she twirls it in between her fingers. When it gently touches my hand I scream and scoot off the bed as fast as I can and onto the floor. I curl up in a ball crying and shaking like a leaf. I hear ash get off the bed and sit down beside me rubbing my back. "It's ok it's ok I'm not going to hurt you I'm not going to hurt you." She says in a calming tone and I calm down dramatically. I sit up still shaking she holds out her hand with the knife laying across it. "See I'm not going to hurt you. I would never dream of hurting you you're like a sister to me. Go on and take it in your own time it's ok I won't force you. In fact I would love to protect you verses hurt you." I slowly stop shaking and smile I actually start to feel safe around her. I truly trust her so I slowly and gently take the knife from her extended hand. As I'm holding it I see the name Buttercup engraved on it. "What's this name on here?" I ask her curious "That's the nickname my mom gave me. It has the one my dad gave me on the other side." I flip it over and see the name Ladybug engraved on it and smile. "If you don't mind me asking how did you become an orphan?" I ask carefully "My mom and dad were in the military so I practically grew up at a military base. But one time we were ambushed and I saw both my parents die. My mother gave me this knife and with her last breaths said and I quote always keep this with you in memory of us and our bravery. Then she did of blood loss our Sargent saw me and carried me to the escape chopper." I was speechless "and I can tell that you were abused your body language says it all." She finishes I just nod my head yes and we hug she whispers in my ear "I'll be your guardian angel."
*Ash's POV*
Lucas tells me that him, mom and dad are heading out on some errands and that the little ones are at a play date across the street. I nod and walk back into the room to see misty really tense and slightly hyperventilating. I lay down on the bed and grab my knife and take off the sleeve. I hear Misty's breathing quicken as I twirl the knife between my fingers. From the corner of my eye I see her about to cry staring of into space she has the body language of someone who was abused. I gently touch her hand with the handle and she screams and scooters of the bed as fast as she can yep she was abused. Good thing mom isn't home I get off the bed to see her curled up in a ball crying and shaking. I carefully sit down next to her and rub her back "It's ok it's ok I'm not going to hurt you I'm not going to hurt you." I speak in a calming tone she calms down dramatically and sits up still shaking i think to myself I need to show her I won't hurt her. So I lay the knife on my hand and hold it out to her. "See I'm not going to hurt you. I would never dream of hurting you you're like a sister to me. Go on and take it in your own time I won't force you. In fact I would love to protect you verses hurt you." I say in a calm tone she slowly stops shaking and smiles I smile as she slowly and gently takes the knife from my hand. "What's this name on here?" "That's my nickname my mom gave me. It has the one my dad called me on the other side. I watch her flip it over and smile "If you don't mind me asking how did you become an orphan?" She asks me carefully "My mom and dad were in the military so I practically grew up at a military base. But one time we were ambushed and I saw both my parents die. My mother gave me this knife and with her last breaths said and I quote always keep this with you in memory of us and our bravery. Then she did of blood loss our Sargent saw me and carried me to the escape chopper." I can see that she's speechless so I added "and I can tell that you were abused your body language says it all." She just nods her head so I hug and whisper in her ear "I'll be your guardian angel." We let go smiling she stands up and helps me up and she hands me back my knife and I put it back into its sleeve. We lay there on the bed talking about our pain while watching Netflix and YouTube.
