Ashleigh's POV

I changed into my assassins creed onesy and turned on the Xbox. I loaded up my game and CC spazzed.

"Ermergerd sernts rerh ther therrdh!"

I turned to him in annoyance, "yeah saints row the third. Don't explode. Its not even the new one dude!" I got on my hover bike in the game and travelled to the zombie island for target practice.

CC wouldn't shut up about how cool my character was. I just rolled my eyes and carried on shooting until I ran out of bullets. I then went to the nearest gun shop. This was the most crime I would get up to now. No more killing. I sighed. I missed it a little bit. Okay I'm lying. I missed the paycheck. It set me up for life really.

"Ashleigh is it two player?" Ash asked timidly.

"If you wanna play a two player game with me then I better turn on my gamecube." I got up and switched off the xbox. I put super smash bros. Melee into the disk tray.

"What game are you putting in?" Ash peered over my shoulder and I poked him in the eye. "Ahhh!"

"A game I have been playing since two thousand and one. An excellent combat co-op game. A game you should respect."

He nodded and smiled as I passed him a controller.

Ashley's POV

Well she kicked my ass. It was nice to see her so calm, care free and joking around.

The guys had left us cause they were all tired, I watched as Ashleigh brought a duvet in from her room and she put on a dvd.

"What are we watching?" I asked with a smile.

"Okay I don't want no snide remarks or comments, its Tangled."

I smiled, she never got to have a childhood. She was locked up just like rapunzel. "I understand why you would like it, its an awesome movie."

She lunged at me, I felt her knife at my throat, "you tell no one!" She whispered wildly. I nodded scared. She relaxed and snuggled onto the couch with me, I stretched yawning. My right arm ready for its descent, "if that arm wants to wander then look no further than the mirror. I'm pretty sure you have some undiscovered crevices in your ballsack." Her eyes didn't leave the tv. Her face didn't show emotion. My arm fell to my lap. I guess I should just enjoy the movie.

"Ash?" I whispered. It was morning. Ashleigh was cuddled up on my chest.

She stirred and opened her eyes slowly, hugging me tighter. Then she froze. She looked up and her arm pressed against my throat. She moved so fast it was a blur, "did you pull me onto you last night?" She said with ferocity.

I shook my head, "no. I can't even remember falling asleep, I just woke up and you were there! Honest!" She regarded me warily.

"Okay then. Next time just push me off you." She snarled.

"I didn't want to wake you suddenly in case you had your knife nearby."

Her eyes widened and she lifted her duvet, there was blood around her right thigh. She ripped her jeans off, "awrh shit not again!" Her knife had dug into her leg while she was sleeping. It looked painful as hell, "I really need to get a new sheath for this thing!" She complained as if this was normal, just an inconvenience. She limped to the bathroom holding the knife in place. She returned and chucked the first aid box at me, it was massive. "Get out a bandage, gauze, sewing needle, medical thread, sterile wash and a bandage pad." I nodded and got it all out. She pulled the knife out grunting in discomfort and washed it with the wash cloth she brought in. I gave her the sterile wash, I grimaced at the pain she is gonna feel from that stuff. She turned the cloth over and soaked it in the wash then put pressure on the wound. She didn't even wince, I couldn't believe it. Her pain threshold must be non existent. "Thread the needle and then soak the needle and thread in the sterile wash." I nodded and poured some wash into a disposable cup in the kit. The needle was a pain to thread.

"Why can't you just go to the hospital?" I asked.

"What!? And lose more blood than I need to? No thanks. I would rather treat it now and go later. I know what I am doing. They will probably just turn me away anyway cause I am doing everything they would have done." That was probably true. She checked the wound and the bleeding was a very small amount now. She took the needle.

"What the fuck happened!?" Andy yelled in shock.

"My knife stabbed me in my sleep, I know right!? You think you know someone and then they go and stab yah!" She laughed but no one joined in, "guys calm the fuck down, this isn't the first time and its not the worst. I am fixing it now. Chill!" She pushed the needle through the skin after knotting the end. She was good at sewing, I couldn't deny that. The pain that she was going through wasn't showing at all, I think I would have passed out by now if that was me. Not even an ibuprofen was taken to soothe the pain. She finished sewing and took the bandage pad from my hand. She put a little sterile wash on it and pressed it tight to the stitched up wound, "Ashley hold this in place while I put the bandage on." I nodded and did as I was told, I was at face level with the blood stain on the side of her panties. My gaze shifted to Andy, I was only just aware that he was staring at me in anger. He knew I had a thing for Ashleigh. I looked away quickly. No doubt he will wanna talk in privacy later, probably give me harsh words to warn me off. "Lift your hands off." I snapped back to reality and lifted my hands away from the pad. She finished wrapping the wound and tied the bandage on. "I am gonna go change." I nodded and went to wash my hands, Andy cleared the first aid kit away and threw the used stuff in the bin.

I came out of the bathroom and Andy was in my face, he whispered. He sounded pissed, "you think you can mentally undress her as you please?" It was rhetorical so I stayed silent, "stay the fuck away from her Ashley man whore purdy. If you don't..." I felt a sharp jab to my ribs.

"Gah!" I groaned in pain.

"... I will do worse than that!" He growled then walked off back to Ashleigh's room that he and Juliet stayed in last night. Ashleigh wandered in when he walked out.

"Hey, thanks for the help with my leg." She smiled. She has never smiled at me before.

I smiled back, "no problem, you would have done the same for me. Right?"

She grinned, "I would have mocked you more."

"How?" I smirked.

"Is that a knife in your leg or are you pleased to see me?"

I laughed loudly, "that was cliche but still good."

She bowed. It was a lopsided bow but still graceful.
