♥ashLYNN. I COULD GET LOST IN YOUR LIES TONIGHT As Ashlynn retreated back to the safety and solitude of her dorm, she leaned against the door with tears in her eyes. She slammed the back of her fist against the door on either of her sides, whimpering profously. How could she have been so damn STUPID? She'd ruined everything! Finally, she had a shot at real happiness and she just had to go and blow it. The tears threatened to fall and finally, she let them rain down, rolling down the sides of her porcelain cheeks like they hadn't since the day Kristie had died. One thing was for sure.
She couldn't stay here. Whether it was court-ordered or not, she'd go to a foster, or a group home for the rest of the year 'till she was eighteen if that's what it took. She didn't want to hurt Jake, but that's what she'd done already, hadn't she? Slamming her fisted hand against the side of the door frame once more, she jerked her head up suddenly at the sound of a low, rumbling chuckle. A chuckle that was full of sinister venom. One that seemed almost painfully and horrifyingly familiar. Her eyes opened wide, mouth dropped in disbelief and shock and almost immediately she began to tremble in fear and shock. "No. You're in Brooklyn. How.. how did you find me?"
More than anything in this world, Ashlynn wanted Jake. Now.
ADDiSON.[/font] How dare that wretch do this to HIM? He'd given her everything and this was how she re-payed him? Sidling off to California to live out the American dream at some fancy Academy to meet the "love of her life?" Well, she definitely had another thing coming. He'd arrived not too long ago. But just in time to see Ashlynn and Jake trade an intimate moment before leaving to go to town. At once, he was furious. He ran his tongue along his lower lip, running it over his lip piercing in infuriation. He'd make her pay. That was for damn sure.
Plastering a plastic grin on his handsome features, the cold-hearted junkie strode towards the girl's dorms and loitered until he spotted a girl walking down the hallway. Instantly, he walked up to her, flashing her a shy and timid smile. "Hi, I'm looking for Ashlynn Cortez's dorm? I'm her boyfriend and I'd really like to surprise her-" He paused, letting the venom of his lies seep in before he forced himself to blush and looked away shyly. "Today's her birthday.. and our anniversary. So, I'm sure you can understand."
The girl giggled and smiled, nodding and quickly pointed out Ashlynn's dorm. Now all he had to do was wait. Within a short amount of time, Ashlynn returned and leaned against the door, cry intensely for a bit before he had to chuckle. She looked absolutely pathetic.
"Isn't that just precious? Little Ashlynn's boohooing over her new boytoy, eh? Should have learned your lesson the first time, princess." His words fell from his parted lips like ice. Slowly and methodically, he stepped over to her stereo and turned on the radio full-blast. Then, he walked over to her slowly, letting each step fall loudly to signify her impending "doom." He looked down at her, towering over her with ease. Smiling, he retrieved a lip-ring from his pocket and grinned devilishly at her. "I like it better when you wear it." Addison hissed venomously and grabbed the her by the jaw, and using the other hand, he forced the lip-ring into the healing hole.
She squirmed but it was to no avail. Soon enough, after minutes of frenzied shouting, his temper flared as he glared at her, "Leave this damn boy alone." In response, she only scowled and spat a simple, 'No.' That alone was enough to make him lose it. HIM? Being denied - of anything, was simply unacceptable. He began beating her. Long, agonizing minutes later, he finally shoved her against the wall and she slid down the side of it, crumbling in ragged gasps. But her breathing had quickly become shallow, barely noticeable.
He placed a swift kick to her ribcage and spun quickly on his heel. Slipping out of the door, and slamming it firmly behind him, he ducked his head, chuckling darkly to himself and sauntered down the hall-way. He passed a girl, two guys, and another guy by himself. But he only flashed them a cold, calculating grin. Then, he exited the dorms. Who knew where he was headed.

Jake had left Ashlynn back off at her door no less than 20 minutes ago, but Jake just felt like things weren't right, and they couldn't end on that note. Jake had been in his dorm, but quickly rushed back outside and hopped into his car. He procedded to then drive across campus back to the Nior dorms; where all the girls were housed. Be quickly hoped out and ran up the front steps; catching a girl as she was just walking in to the dormitories, Could you tell me where Ashlynn Cortez's dorm is? He asked the underclassmen standing before him. She pointed down the hallway, and then he thanked her; but she then said: might I add, there was just another guy who left from her room. Jake was kinda baffeled by this; was this why Ashlynnn couldn't be in Jake's life she was the one who had another boyfriend? Uhhh, okay, Jake said to her as he then walked off down the hallway rubbing his temple with his one hand will holding something under his arm in the other, why did his emotions have to be so conflicting.
As he made his way down the hallway of the first floor of the girls dormitory the music began to thud against the walls and fill the hallway with loud blarring music, wow- was this the way girls got over guys, or what? He made his way to her dorm room; and pounding on the door when he reached it, he didn't pound the door in an agressive manner- he just wanted her to be able to hear him over the ridiculous music.
Jake stood outside her room for a few minutes, not getting any response; so Jake finally turned the handle and pushed her door open, to be horrified seeing Ashlynn laying lifeless and helpless on the floor in the middle of her dorm room. Holy shit.. he muttered to himself as he raced to Ashlynn's side. Now Jake felt like this was alll his fault, he'd taken her back home for her to only go walking into the hands of danger; the guy who'd been here last must've been the one responsible for this ugly mess. Ashlynn was a battered up mess, Jake kneeled down along side her; and gently rubbed her forehead and moved her hair from her eyes, Ash.. its Jake, i'm going to get you to the hospital..... he told her. He was so scared and nervous that she was hurt badly, and couldn't even imagine why someone would do this to her.

♥ASHLYNN. I LIVE FOR THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE
Ashlynn could only whimper softly as she heard the loud pounding on the door, eyes shut in a grimace of pain. Soon enough, the door opened and Jake strode in. Instantly, she felt her heart lift and give a weak thud. As he removed the hair from her face, and his fingers grazed over her forehead, she forced herself to sit up the best she could, though her upper torso swayed and the room spun. Everything was almost entirely blurry and unrecognizable. "Jake.." She murmured softly, a tiny smile lifting her lips upward in a grin.
Twisting her upper body to the side to face him, she threw her arms around his neck in a weak hug, eager to see him. Ignoring the blinding pain in her ribcage, she smiled painstakingly, kissing the side of his neck gently. "I'm so glad you came back." She murmured softly. She ran her tongue over her lower lip, which now had a lip-ring, courtesy of the oh-so "charming" Addison. It'd been pierced before, but since he'd ripped it out some time before now, she'd never put it back. Wincing at the pain in her side, Ashlynn slumped against him with a soft sigh. "I'm sleepy." She whispered softly and several moments afterward, she blacked out.
i need you more than you'll ever know [/font][/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]

Jake smiled slightly when Ashlynn said his name, he put his arm under her shoulders and supported her back, when she put her arms around him. Then he placed his other hand under the backs of her knees slowly picking her up; he didn't want to her hurt- or cause any more damage than there already could be. Ashlynn.. I'm here now; everything's going to be okay... He swiftly clicked off her music that had been blarring through the speakers and walked to the door with her; as he heard her say she was sleepy, before he knew it she blackedout in his arms, Ashlynn; he spoke calmly to her, gently shaking to get her to wake up- then he saw her beautiful blue eyes flutter open; You've gotta stay awake, and stay with me here, he told her. He twisted the doorknob; and moved into the hallway with Ashlynn in his arms, and pulled the door shut with his foot. He got a few odd stares as he carried the battered and bruised teen down the hallway. He placed his lips at her ear and gently spoke, Ash, i'll always be here for you he told her; then grazed his lips over her forehand for a moment, before looking up again and turned around and pushed the door open with his back and carried Ashlynn down the stairs. His unlocked car sat at the curb, He pulled the car door open; realizing at the time he still had the stupid teddy bear tucked under his arm, why didn't he set the silly thing down in her dorm, he set it on the center console- and then as gently as possible set Ashlynn, in the passenger seat and pulled the seat belt around her; he didn't want to hurt her and cause her anymore pain.
Jake closed the passenger door gently, and he ran around the side of the car and jumped into the driver seat; quickly pulling his seat belt on and shoving the keys in the ignition. He started the car and pulled off into the street and made his way to the hospital, meanwhile as they drove Jake rested his hand behind Ashlynn's shoulder to support her.

ashlynn;;♥ LONELY AS A SPARROW IN THE RAIN He picked up and her head tilted backward, giving into the comforting embrace of slumber. Once to be lulled out of it by his voice, his tone tainted with urgency. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at him, with a soft and sappy smile on her face. She felt as if she were in a drug-induced trance, and almost literally floating on clouds. She turned her head, staring up at him with a confused look. He'd picked her up and they were walking out of the dorm? At the feel of the cold breeze against her flesh, she shuddered and buried her face into his arm. She couldn't help but wonder where Addison was. It wasn't exactly like him to just up and disappear, unless he thought she'd died before he left.
As Jake gently placed the bruised girl in the passenger's seat and placed the seatbelt around her, she immediately squealed and reached out for him. "Don't leave me." Whimpering softly, her voice was a child-like plea. As he went from her side of the car to his own, her blurry gaze drifted from the window to the teddy bear that sat, perched on the center console. As he entered the car and turned on the ignition, she looked at him with a tiny smile, unable to stop herself from giving a small, weak giggle. "It's a teddy bear."
Reaching out with a shaky hand, she retrieved the bear from it's "throne" atop the console and wrapped her arms around the fluffy stuffed animal, leaning back into the seat with a soft sigh. Resting her cheek against the bear's smooth and fluffy head, she began to drift into unconsciousness once more. Quickly, they arrived in the hospital. Soon enough, she was brought into the hospital and admitted. After treatment, she awoke in a pale peach and white room, clutched in her hand securely was the teddy bear. She sat up quickly, ignoring the shooting pain in her side. "Bear?" Ashlynn murmured softly, fear fringing her gaze. She hated hospitals. She hadn't been in one since her sister had died..
i'm tired of all the pain in the world today. [/font][/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]

Jake stood in the door frame of Ashlynn's hospital room, and leaned his head agaisnt the wall; he watched her as she finally sleep peacefully rather than just laying there in an unconsciencous state. She clung to that teddy with her life, like a little kid with their security blanket and Jake couldn't help but smile at her. He eventually saw her stir in bed, and she opened her eyes, 'bear?' he heard her say, and a smile touched his lips; as he walked over to her beside and pulled a chair up next to her. He gently took her hand in his and said I'm here, then used his other hand to brush a few strands of her hair away from her face, and run his thumb across her jawline. How are you feeling? he asked her; hoping she wasn't in to much pain; seeing as the doctors and loaded her up with pain killers.
I see you liked the teddy bear, he said with a tiny laugh; as her other hand still gripped the small brown teddy bear. He looked at her, and into her deep blue eyes; he almost felt like crying- he hated seeing her like this, she looked like she was in so much pain and he couldn't imagine who'd done this to her. Another doctor passed by the room, and Jake turned his head to look out the door for a moment, before remembering what the doctor's had told him while ashlynn was sleeping. Ash- the doctor's said that they want to keep you over night, just to make sure that everything is okay. He then leaned up and kissed her gently on the forehead and then told her, But don't worry I promise i'm not going anywhere; I'll here with you as long as you want.

ashlynn;;♥ LONELY AS A SPARROW IN THE RAIN A slow smile spread across her face once she spotted Jake, and laughed softly as he spoke. When he mentioned the teddy bear, she glanced down at it in her hands and grinned. Glancing up at him, she grinned, playfully winking, "It reminds me of someone I like." She wriggled up to a proper sitting position, wincing slightly as she glanced at the door as a doctor passed. "I feel.. high." She responded, laughing softly. As he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, she leaned up as best she could without causing any harm to herself.
Her lips hovered along his jaw as she placed several kisses along his cheek. "Now, Mister Jake, what if I was to say forever? Would the offer still be open?" She teased playfully. Glancing up at the patterns on the wall, she frowned to herself and sighed. "I haven't been in a hospital since my sister.." She let her voice trail off momentarily, giving a short, bitter laugh. "Since my sister, Kristie was .. well, since she died."
Shaking her head, a section of her dark hair fell into her eyes and she glanced up at him, leaning up to kiss him gently. "See what happens when you hang out with the wrong crowd?" She murmured, her tone light and playful. The drugs had helped to eliminate a majority of the pain.

Jake smiled down at her when she said that the teddy bear reminded her of someone that she liked, a wave a happiness flowed through his body; then he let a laugh escape his lips as she said that she felt high, he responded with I've been told that's what painkillers do to you, he laughed softly once more. He'd never felt like this before with any other girl, and believe it or not when Ashlynn kissed him along his cheek; he began to get butterflies in his stomach, and he smiled at her. The next words he heard her say were, 'Now, Mister Jake, what if I was to say forever? Would the offer still be open?' Jake then moved to where his lips were hovering over hers, and he softly kissed her on the lips; then responded with absolutely, and a small smile resting on his lips.
What Ashlynn spoke of next sent waves of sadness through Jake's body this time; when she told him that the last time she'd been in the hospital was when her sister had died. Jake brushed him fingers across her forehead and played with her hair for a moment before saying, ashlynn.. i'm so sorry.. Ashlynnn's life truly was a million times different than anything that Jake had ever expierianced, from the death of her sister; to have been beat up like this. But Jake wanted more than anything to be in her life- and help her through her hard times, he woudl do what ever it took.

ASHLYNN♥ AND I KNOW I'M ALL ALONE As Jake apologized, she let her eyes sweep up at his own momentarily. Lashes fluttered, smiling broadly. "Hey, dollface, it's not your fault." She murmured softly and after he'd kissed her gently, she placed her hand against the side of his face and let her mouth crash urgently against his own. After a few minutes, the breathless teen pulled away with a soft laugh. Staring up at him, Ashlynn let her thoughts claim her attention for the time being. Her tongue went out over her lips, running along her lip-ring momentarily as her expression became intent and thoughtful.
She'd tried to be so careful about falling for others, but now somehow, she'd fallen in love with someone who appeared to be her polar opposite. It was amazing how life worked, at times. Though it didn't always appear to be on Ashlynn's side, in this case, it was. "In a way, I'm thankful to Addison.. he was.. my ex, the guy who.. who did this." She paused, letting her gaze sweep over him, pressing her forehead against his own with a grin. "Without him messing up my life, I'd have never gotten here. To right now.. with you." With that, she pulled back with a grin.
Tilting her head playfully, she giggled. "Are you sure I can't break out of this joint? Hospitals make me nervous." She felt giddy, maybe it was just the drugs but she highly doubted it. Lifting a hand she ran it along his forearm in tiny circles, loving the comfort she got from just being near him.

As Ashlynn pressed her lips against his, all his troubles were gone, he wasn't worried about anything anymore; all that matter was that she was giving him a chance, and that she was okay; from the days earlier events. He then listened to Ashlynn explain that if her ex-boyfriend hadn't done this to her, then she wouldn't be here with him today. When Jake thought of it in those circumstances he was sort of thankful for it too, but not for the pain she had to take getting here. Jake the pressed his forehead with Ashlynn's and looked into her beautiful deep blue eyes, and rested his hand so that he was softly playing with her hair. When she asked him if she could just bust of this joint, because hospitals made her nervous he couldn't help but laugh, he leaned in just a little closer so that his lips were once more hovering over hers, he said, Well maybe... he kissed her softly, then pulled just a few centimeters away, if you really want to, I can find a way to sneak you out of here.. he said. He looked with a supiscious grin on his face towards the window shaking his head, vetoing the option of taking the window out- then looked out the door and smiled once more, then he leaned into kiss her again, and then grinned at her.
And if you really do want to bust out of here; I'll take you back to your dorm; and we can play doctor there, he teased playfully at her. But if he did take her back to her dorm; there was no way he'd be leaving her there alone- for fear of her damn ex. coming back. Plus he couldn't leave her beat up and battered like this to fend all by herself.

ASHLYNN♥ I DONT WANT THE WORLD TO SEE ME Laughing softly as he peered thoughtfully at the window, she smirked. "Well then, aren't you just a regular bad boy?" Her voice rang out in a coo and she smiled, eagerly kissing him. She happily returned his kisses with those of his own, until he spoke yet again; 'I'll take you back to your dorm; and we can play doctor there.' She couldn't help but to burst into uproarious laughter. Playfully she reached out and smacked him on the shoulder, but her lips soon curved upward in a sultry, coy grin. "Only if we can have a sleepover."
Glancing at the heart monitor hooked up to her finger, she gave a thoughtful look and carefully maneuvered herself over to the front of the bed, leaning over the side of the bed to unplug the machine. Glancing back at Jake, she gave him a grin.
Removing the contraption from her finger, she swung her legs over to the side of the bed and stood, swaying a bit as she hadn't stood for several hours now. "Any ideas there, romeo? I've been in trouble but honestly.." She paused, tilting her head to look up at him with soft giggles. "I've never broken out of a hospital."

HOSPITAL BREAKOUT;;haha.When Ashlynn said that he was just the regular bad boy, he shrugged one of shoulders and smiled. When she smacked him in the shoulder, the smile instantly disappeared off his face and he rubbed his arm, acting like he was hurt. But then he couldn't help the smile instantly returning to his face and he leaned down to kiss Ashlynn once more. He then couldn't help but smile at her sleepover idea, he then helped her to the edge of the bed; he saw her swaying a little bit so he supportingly placed his arm around her waist to keep her balanced. He smiled at her thoughts of how he was going to get them out of there, saying she'd been in trouble before; but she'd never broken out of a hospital. He couldn't help but let a laugh escape his lips at her last few words, Don't worry I've never tried breaking out of a hospital either, he said smiling down at her still with an arm protectively and supportingly around her waist. He led her to the door, and whispered into her ear; so that none of the doctors or nurses would hear let me handle this, i'll use my charming ways; and we'll be out of here in no time, he said with a smile and a wink in her direction.
He led her through the door, glancing at her for a moment out of the corner of his eye; before looking down the hallway again. The nurse's headquarters; which was right outside Ashlynn's room looked like freakin' grandcentral station, bustling with people and carts and supplies, he thought they'd be able to sneak right by, without any of the nurses noticing; but one of them looked up from her documents and peared over her glasses and asked Where do you think you two are going? Jake kept his arm on ashlynn's waist and politely said to the nurse at the desk, Were going for a walk, she just needs a bit of fresh air. he flashed the nurse one of his charming good-boy; I never do anything wrong grins, and she responded sweetly with Okay, go right ahead.
Jake walked along with Ashlynn; slowly at her pace- making sure that she didn't get to woozy or dizzy on him, and once they round the corner- Jake stopped for a moment and picked Ashlynn up, gently tucking his arm under her knees and easily picked her up. He smiled at her and kissed her quickly before making there way out to the parking lot. See? I told you it'd be easy He said with a grin planted on his face.

ASHLYNN♥ when EVERYTHING'S made to be BROKEN She could barely contain her laughter as he mentioned using his "charming" ways and as they exited her room, she felt hope rise, only to feel it plummet to the ground once more as the nurse looked up. Glancing away and feeling crushed that their plans to escape had failed so intensely, she was surprised when Jake spoke to the nurse, practically charming their way to the door. Once they were outside, she turned to him to speak but her words were cut off by sudden giggles as he swept her off her feet quite literally and picked her up. Wrapping an arm around his neck, she looked at him with a teasing scowl.
"Hmph. You were practically flirting with that nurse." She murmured softly, feigning a pout. "I don't know whether to be disturbed, or jealous." She teased playfully, burying her face into the side of his neck. Smiling against his skin, she placed several gentle kisses along the side of his neck, giggling softly. Once they arrived at the car, she waited for him to open the passenger side's door and place her inside the car. She placed the teddy bear on the dashboard, giggling at how cutesy it looked, considering it was a guy's car after all.
"So love, where to?"
She murmured softly, Brooklyn accent thick as she purred the words, failing to notice the term of endearment she'd used.

Jake couldn't get over how cute it was when Ashlynn laughed or smiled, or especially when she giggled uncontrollably like everytime she did, when he picked her up. When she accused him of flirting with that nurse back there; he laughed- why would he need to flirt with anyone else when he had the one girl he wanted right her in his arms, literally. Oh yeah, I was definitely flirting with her; seeing as she's so much cuter than you are. He said to her trying to conceal his laughter but, could barely contain himself before he smiled at Ashlynn and planted a kiss on her forehead, they finally made it out into the parking lot to Jake's black Ford escape, without being caught or anything like that. Jake used the remote on his car keys and unlocked the doors and moved to the passenger side, opening the door and setting Ashlynn down on the seat gently. When she stuck the teddy bear on the dashboard of his car, he teased her and said- you better not leave that in my car, but he then playfully nudged her arm gently- not to hurt her; to let her know he was just teasing, because to be honest if she did leave it there; he always have somethign to look at reminding him of Ashlynn. He then closed the door on the passenger side, and ran around to the driver's side of the car.
When she said 'where to?' he thought for a moment, as he stuck the keys in the ignition for about the fourth time today; then turned to Ashlynn and said- [/b]It looks like were heading to your dorm, and I'll stay with you if you want.[/b] he said with a smile, then added because honestly you aren't in any shape to go out anywhere else tonight. He was sure she was probably tired, from the days events and that she was probably hungry too; at least he was. Jake then pulled the car out of the parking space, and pulling from the parking lot and headed off back down the road; back to canterbury academy. [/color][/blockquote][/size]

ASHLYNN♥ WHEN THEY ASKED ME WHAT I LIKED BEST i'll tell them it was you. She tilted her head back, staring at him with a look of sheer adoration. He was the only person in this world that could make her heart beat faster and slower at the same time. As he teased her, she could only grin at him, glancing out of the window thoughtfully. "I'd leave my shoe before I left my Bear." With that, her grin only broadened and Ashlynn turned her head to look at him, regarding him quietly. She wondered how he would react to her statement, considering how she'd phrased it. Giggling softly, she quirked an eyebrow in silence at his next statement.
"Oh, really now? I'm not in great shape? I'm assuming you're calling me fat there, buddy. Enjoy your night alone." The pretty teen remarked playfully, sticking her tongue out at him. Reminded that he'd also mentioned staying over, she let her full lips curve skywards in a coy smirk and snickered softly. Scooting closer to him without getting in the way of his driving, she kissed the side of his neck, nipping it gently before murmuring in his ear; "Of course, dahlin', who else am I gonna have a sleep over with?"
Then, Ashlynn pulled away and leaned back against her window, looking at him with a cocky smirk. "That is, unless your girlfriend is expecting you anytime soon." She taunted playfully, and as they pulled up to the girl's dorms, and the car stopped and Jake turned it off, she opened the door and stepped out. "See, I'm perfectly fine." She murmured, waiting for him to get out of the car before heading up to the dorm entrance.
