Stormy nights
It's Alright
Britni's POV
Ashley is skinny. I don't know how he could think he's fat. But I understand all the same I was once the same way. Olivia was the only thing keeping me grounded. I'll do the same for Ash. I still remember our promise. 1 500+ calorie meal a day and Olivia would always be here for me. I only broke it once. "Guys Ashley would like to tell you something." I say and hold Ashley close to me. He shuffles nervously as the attention turns towards him. "I-I um... I-" he can't get it out. He's almost in tears again. I rub his back encouragingly. "You can do it Ash." I whisper in his ear and he forces it out. "I'm anorexic." He says before dropping to his knees sobbing. I go down with him almost protectively. Everything's quiet except for Ashley's sobbing. "It's alright Ash... It's alright." I whisper to him and he just latches onto me. "How the hell didn't we notice!" Andy growls angry as a cup goes flying across the room. Ash jumps as it shatters against the wall. "Shh... I've got you." I whisper rocking him back and forth. "Ash I'm sorry. I'm just angry at myself for not noticing." Andy says gentle as he kneels down next to me and Ash. Ashley lifts his head up and looks at Andy who smiles gently. "Y-you ar-aren't m-mad?" He chokes out and Andy shakes his head. "No. We'll help you Ash. We all will. You're family now and forever." Andy says and the guys nod in agreement. "O-ok" Ashley stutters as Andy squashes him in a hug. The guys all join in and soon I'm doubtful Ashley can breath. "GUYS WE ASHLEY ALIVE IF WE'RE GONNA HELP HIM!" I scream and the guys all back off. "Better Ash?" I ask him and he nods with a small smile. "Can do something fun today?" Olivia whines. "Sure!!" I laugh and grin evilly. "Haunted Corn Maze?" I offer since its October. Everybody smiles and nods. "Ok tonight we haunt the haunting!"
