The Metalheads

The next morning, I was awoken by my phone ringing.

Ashley was calling, obviously ready to start the day. I answered, and I jumped from Ashley's sudden enthusiasm.

"Good morning! Ready to go kick some ass?" Ashley was obviously ready to fight again, and frankly, he was pretty good at it.

"I just woke up. So no, not really." I said in a groggy voice. I could hear Andy slowly waking up in the background. He rubbed his eyes and walked over to me.

"Who ya talkin' to babe?" He said sleepily.

"Ashley," I replied. I pulled Andy into a one-armed hug, and he nuzzled my shoulder.

"Why are you so excited Ash?" He went quiet for a minute, and I thought he had hung up. "Hello? Ashley?"

"I'm still here. I don't really know. I just woke up excited. I have no idea why." I laughed. "Or maybe it was the coffee that I drank this morning. I think I had a double shot of espresso."

I laughed. Anyone who knew Ashley well knew that when he drank coffee he went literally insane.

"Oh God," I said into the phone.

"What's wrong?" Andy asked, finally waking up fully.

"Ashley's hyped up on coffee," I said, rubbing his back. He laughed as I put my phone on speaker.

"So what are we doing today, captain?" I said into the phone.

"Well, the first thing we need to do is figure out what they're planning to do to us. Then we can work from there."

"So, like sneaking across the border?" Andy asked, perking up.

"Yep. We need to find out where their president keeps his stuff. He probably has a list of plans or something."

I paused to process what Ash just told us. "Sounds like a plan to me."

Andy stood up and walked downstairs. "I'll be right back," he mouthed.

"So when do you want me to come over?" I glanced at the clock. 9:27.

"How about 10:15?" I said, going into my closet to search for today's outfit.

"Works for me. See you in a few." Ashley said, and hung up.

Now focusing on my outfit planning, I pulled out a hoodie and a pair of shredded skinny jeans. Next, I pulled out a clean pair of undies and a bra, and dashed to the bathroom. I turned on the hot water, undressed, and hopped in the shower.

As the water poured over me, I looked down at myself, examining every scar on my body.

A few of them still stung a little when the water ran over them, but I didn't care. I was ashamed of my scars, but I was also proud of them. They were a symbol that I had overcome one of the toughest parts of my life, and I had survived. Barely.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I heard the bathroom door creak open slowly.

"Babe? You in here?"

"Yes I'm in the shower." I then realized how long I'd been in the shower, and quickly washed myself off.

"Can I join you?" I could see the devious smirk on his face through the shower curtain.

"No, but you can hand me a towel," I replied with a smirk.

He handed me a towel, covering his eyes with his other hand. I let out a giggle as I slipped into my undies and bra, and was about to put on the rest of my clothes when a pair of hands stopped me.

"Don't put them on yet. I want to see you." I looked up, unaware that he was still in the room.

"Umm, okay." He smiled, and leaned down to kiss me. Then, his hands were all over me, instantly. On my hips, my arms, my thighs, everywhere.

"And why are you doing this?" I knew the answer to this question, but I wanted to see what he said.

"I just want to...well...see all of your scars. And you have a lot. Way more than I thought."

I looked down at my feet, slightly ashamed. "Yeah, I know."

He lifted my head up so I met his eyes, and he kissed me again. This time though, it was a little more passionate. I could feel his strong but gentle hands running up and down my waist, causing me to shiver.

When he pulled away, I glanced at the clock on the counter. 10:07. "Shit! I need to get dressed!"

I dashed out of the bathroom and put my clothes on as fast as I could. I heard the doorbell ring at exactly 10:15.

"I'll get it babe." Andy hopped downstairs to let Ashley in.

"Babe? You ready?"

"Nope. Not yet." As I answered, I knocked over my makeup bag, spilling everything onto the floor.

"Ugh, really?"

Ashley heard the crashing noise and ran upstairs and peeked in. "You okay? You seem really stressed out."

I picked up all my makeup, set it on the counter, and sighed. "Yes, I am stressed out."

He walked over to me and pushed my hair back. I looked up at him and was met with a concerned pair of brown eyes. "What's wrong?"

I sighed as I picked up the rest of my makeup. "I don't know, I just feel kinda rushed I guess. I'm really slow in the morning."

I fumbled around in my makeup bag and took out my foundation. I quickly put on a layer, then swiped over it with powder. I then put on some blue eye-shadow to go with my outfit and a few layers of mascara. Then, I pulled out my eyeliner and lined my eyes best I could, going over them twice.

I just then noticed that both Ashley and Andy were standing in the doorway watching me put on my makeup, staring in awe. I jumped when I saw them.

"Whoa, you scared the shit out of me!" We all began to laugh.

As I put the finishing touches on my makeup, I heard a crashing noise come from downstairs.

"What was tha-?" Ashley asked. I shook my head with wide eyes, cutting him off.

"Shh," I whispered, putting my finger to my lips. I quietly tiptoed downstairs. I looked around, and saw nothing.

I motioned for the two guys to follow me down the stairs. I slipped into the kitchen, looking for anything suspicious.

One of the chairs was knocked over, and the window above the sink was wide open.

"What is it?" whispered Andy.

"I think someone's in the house." I then heard rustling a few feet away. I quietly stepped over to the knife block and pulled out a freshly sharpened one.

"Whoever you are, we won't hurt you if you don't hurt us. Just show your face," I demanded. I saw something move from behind the counter. I threw the knife I had in my hand into the wall just above the counter, regretting it immediately.

Brody pounced on me out of nowhere, knocking me down.

As my head cleared, I looked up to see him staring me down. He was panting, sweat pouring off of his face. "Why are you still alive?" He asked through clenched teeth.

He held me down tight, and I was struggling to escape his grip.

"Let me say that again in case you didn't hear me the first time. WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD YET?" He screamed into my ear as loud as he could.

"WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH?" I screamed back at him. He then pressed his heavy body harder into mine, growling, and I thought he was going to crush me beneath him.

"GET OFF OF ME!" I screamed. He then flipped me over and started to unzip his pants.

"Oh no. Nope. Nope. Not doing it. You better get off of me right now," I warned.

I tried to move, but his weight overpowered mine. I let out a scream that could be heard from the other end of the neighborhood.

Was he seriously trying to do what I think he is trying to do?

He lifted his weight for a split second, long enough for me to slip out from under him, kicking him as hard as I could. He groaned in pain.

2 police officers came through the other window and started fighting Andy and Ashley, who hadn't helped me at all, thanks guys. Andy seemed to have his officer under control, but Ashley was struggling. I quickly ran over to help him.

I pulled the officer back by his hair, and Ashley punched him in the face, knocking him out. "Thanks," he said quickly.

"Don't thank me yet."

I quickly ran over to the officer that was trying to pin Andy to the wall. I grabbed that officer by the arm and pulled him backwards, sending him flying towards the front door.

Where did Ashley go? He was just behind me a few seconds ago…

I turned around to see Ashley in a headlock, his eyes squeezed shut and his hands clutching the arm around his neck, with Brody pointing a gun to his head.
